The definition of soul Salvanas gives seems flawed to me and because of that, the answers thus far are flawed.
Quote:
I'm going by the definition that our soul is our emotions (personality). So, when we lose our soul, we lose the main emotions.
So no more anger, sadness, love. So on, so on. You can ofcourse feel pain still. And you still have all bodily functions. And the mind to think. Just no emotions.
Note: However, when it comes to something like you enjoying something you're eating, then i'm not too sure. That counts as happiness, but does it?

I would say that such a mind could not be self-conscious as even contentment is an emotion, and all emotions are products of our self awareness or at the very least, awareness of our surroundings.
So essentially.. in selling your soul as Salvanas puts it... you are selling your ability to be aware of yourself (even in the most primal sense) and your surroundings.
There is nothing that I'd sell that for.
The phrase "selling your soul" is simply a term used to describe the act of betraying or contradicting a principle or quality which one deems (or is perceived to deem) as essential.
In that sense... I would only sell my soul if my very survival, or the survival of someone I really cared about depended on it. Even then it would depend on the circumstances.
