(Redirected from Nobodies) A Nobody (ノーバディ, Nōbadi) is the body and soul of a strong-hearted individual whose heart has become a Heartless. While this enemy type makes its first appearance in Kingdom Hearts II, members of Organization XIII appeared in Kingdom Hearts Final Mix and Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, albeit as unclassified opponents. The Nobody emblem is a splintered, upside-down heart that resembles Terra's Mark as Xemnas remembers it.[1] It appears for the first time in Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories, in which it is emblazoned on the Specter's head and designates sleights used by the Riku Replica and members of Organization XIII. StoryBetween Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep and Kingdom HeartsNeeding vessels for his plan to create thirteen darknesses, Xehanort tricks Aeleus, Dilan, Even and Ienzo into giving up their hearts as part of their research into the nature of the heart and the Heartless, using his Keyblade to extract their hearts. When Braig questions his intentions, Xehanort simply extracts his heart next. Following this, he turns the Keyblade on himself and extracts his own heart. This creates the first six members of Organization XIII, who are commanded by Xemnas, Xehanort's Nobody, to recruit more members into their ranks. Kingdom HeartsSora becomes a Heartless in Hollow Bastion. This creates two Nobodies: Roxas and Naminé. The former appears in Twilight Town and joins Organization XIII, while the latter finds herself in Castle Oblivion and in Organization XIII's custody. On a return trip to Hollow Bastion, Sora battles and defeats Xemnas. Kingdom Hearts Chain of MemoriesMarluxia, the Organization's Number XI, leads Sora and his friends to Castle Oblivion. There, he forces Naminé to tamper with Sora's memories in an attempt to gain the Keyblade's power. When Riku awakens in Castle Oblivion's lower levels, he faces some of the Organization's founding members and learns Nobodies belong to neither the light nor darkness. Kingdom Hearts 358/2 DaysOrganization XIII uses Roxas and Xion to collect hearts. This is in accordance with its plan to create Kingdom Hearts, which will enable its members to become whole again. The Organization also searches for the Chamber of Waking and develops the Replica Program. Roxas, who discusses being a Nobody with his friend Axel, battles Dusks and Samurais in a series of three trials at The World That Never Was: Mission 10, Mission 33, and Mission 71. He confronts more when he attempts to abandon Organization XIII. Kingdom Hearts IIAfter Roxas is placed in The Other Twilight Town, Axel is ordered to retrieve him. The Organization's Number VIII teams up with several lesser Nobodies in an attempt to get his friend back. Sora, Donald, and Goofy learn about Nobodies from Yen Sid at the Mysterious Tower. They clash with these foes multiple times, and they destroy the surviving members of Organization XIII: Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Saïx, Demyx, and Luxord. Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop DistanceIn The World That Never Was, a resurrected Xemnas tells Sora that Nobodies can grow new hearts and feel emotions. It is revealed this fact was deliberately kept from the other members of Organization XIII, who were meant to inherit Master Xehanort's heart through Kingdom Hearts.[2] Ienzo reveals to Lea that when a Heartless and Nobody are destroyed and their hearts find their vessels, they are returned to the place they became a Heartless and Nobody. However, if that world is unavailable or otherwise destroyed, they would appear in Traverse Town.[3] Kingdom Hearts IIIXigbar, Saïx, Vexen, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia and Larxene return to Nobodies to become members of the real Organization XIII; Xemnas's heart is extracted from the past and placed in a replica, so he may also serve as a member. Xigbar, Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene encounter Sora throughout the worlds on their respective missions to find and protect the New Seven Hearts and to find the Black Box. Two new breeds of High-ranking Nobody, the Reaper and the Ninja, are also introduced as adversaries. At the Keyblade Graveyard, swarms of Nobodies are called in by Xemnas to help the Heartless and Unversed wear down the Seven Guardians of Light. After Terra-Xehanort is repelled by the Lingering Will, another wave of Nobodies is summoned by Dark Riku and Xigbar along with more Heartless. Thanks to the combined efforts of the traitorous Vexen and Demyx, along with Ansem the Wise, Roxas is revived using a replica body. Luxord, Marluxia, and Larxene are defeated, beginning their re-completion again. DesignLesser Nobodies are humanoid enemies that are primarily grey in coloration. They possess a certain elasticity that enables them to contort their bodies into a variety of shapes. An often overlooked feature of lesser Nobodies is their lack of eyes; though some such as the Dragoon and Samurai emulate eyes. This means low rank Nobodies are blind and rely on their other senses. Lesser Nobodies bear the Nobody emblem. In Kingdom Hearts III, Nobodies have a metallic sheen. Nobodies whose original selves possessed the strongest of hearts, like the members of Organization XIII, are able to retain their human forms. Their bodies lack the Nobody emblem, but they can have minor cosmetics changes from their original selves, such as Axel's tear marks. Gummi Nobodies come in a variety of colors and have streamlined, machine-like bodies. Like lesser Nobodies, they also bear the Nobody emblem. Unlike their Heartless counterparts, the Nobodies are not classified by method of creation, but instead by rank. High-ranking Nobodies generally serve a specific Organization member, while low-ranking Nobodies are used by all members. Another distinct difference is that Nobodies are all naturally born, unlike the Heartlless who have the artificially-created Emblem variety; thus this makes the Nobody emblem a natural feature on lesser Nobodies. NatureUsually, when a heart is lost to darkness and becomes a Heartless, the body and soul it shed fade into the darkness too, leaving no trace. Nobodies are created when strong-hearted individuals refuse to fade. The bodies that remain give Nobodies their form, while the abandoned souls give them life. People with the strongest hearts are able to retain human form when they become Nobodies. Despite being formed by the discarded body, it appears that Nobodies are primarily defined by the heart that leaves said body; Naminé is considered the Nobody of Kairi due to being the result of Kairi's heart leaving Sora's body when he became a Heartless, and Xemnas is made of Terra's body and soul, but is more strongly tied to Xehanort as it was Xehanort's heart that produced a Heartless. While Nobodies resist fading into darkness, they are not embraced by light. This leaves them in an in-between state where they do not really exist. This trait is what gives Nobodies their name. When defeated, Nobodies fade back into darkness as they were originally meant to. Nobodies, lacking their heart, do not feel emotion. While they tend to retain the memories they made as humans, the feelings they display are merely an act based on these recollections. All Nobodies are intelligent and are thus capable and strategic enemies; as opposed to Heartless who possess only instinct and tend to swarm their prey. Nobodies feel physical pain, and in the Kingdom Hearts Chain of Memories manga, they are seen reading, cooking, or doing jigsaw puzzles in an attempt to fill their emptiness. Despite a claim that Nobodies don't age, existing as they were at the time of becoming a Nobody,[4] it's evident that humanoid Nobodies can still age, as shown with Zexion, who became a Nobody as a child, and Naminé. It is possible for Nobodies to grow new hearts.[5] Master Xehanort and Xemnas use this to their advantage, and Sora learns this when he experiences Roxas's pain first-hand at the end of his hijacked Mark of Mastery exam. In Sora's words, one must "have a heart to cry." Should Nobodies without memories like Roxas and Naminé regrow hearts, they become entirely new, whole people from their original selves. Nobodies born in special circumstances such as Naminé and Roxas are able to exist at the same time as their original selves, however they can experience unexpected physical reactions when in close proximity to them, as when Roxas is overcome by fatigue and passes out when near Sora's location in Castle Oblivion.[6] Beings with hearts of pure light, such as the Princesses of Heart, are unable to produce a Nobody when their hearts leave their bodies, except in the aforementioned special circumstances, as is the case with Naminé. This is because their hearts lack darkness within them, so their bodies and souls are unable to leave the Realm of Light, and are instead left comatose. High-ranking Nobodies can be reduced to a lower rank. Members of Organization XIII consider being turned into a Dusk a form of punishment. RecompletionWhen a person's Nobody and its corresponding Heartless are both destroyed, the person is restored to their whole self at the location where they lost their heart, or, if that location is unavailable, they will appear in Traverse Town.[7] When a humanoid Nobody is recompleted, they generally retain the memories from their time as a Nobody; however, in cases where the Nobody develops its own persona, such as with Sora and Roxas, this does not occur. The Nobody's destruction has some effect on the physical state of the recompleted individual, with them recovering at different rates.[8] It is possible to be recompleted multiple times if a person is turned into a Nobody multiple times, as seen with Even and Isa. In rare exceptions where there is no corresponding Heartless, a person can undergo the recompletion process even if their heart is unable to return, as seen with Terra, whose body was restored from its Nobody state even though his heart remained trapped.[9] List of Nobodies
