Forces
of Darkness
Those who stand in Sora’s way include the
Heartless and Nobodies as well as those who control them including Organization
XIII and the Villains. Sora and the
others must fight with these forces of darkness in order to bring peace to the
Realm of Light.
Heartless
One
without a heart is darkness born from the recurring darkness. The embodiment of the darkness in one’s heart
which appears when a person’s heart is lost to darkness. They have no knowledge or will, they simply
run on dark instinct and go after the Hearts of Worlds as well as try to steal
hearts from those with them in order to become greater in numbers.
There
are various kinds of Heartless, but they are generally categorized in two main
types; those who appear naturally are known as “Pure Blood”, and approximately
10 years before KH1, during an experiment Xehanort (Seeker of Darkness Ansem)
birthed the “Emblem” Heartless.
Heartless began appearing in greater numbers in the Realm of Light due
to Ansem’s interference, and when he was defeated in KH1 it helped keep the
numbers down, however as long as darkness exists within people’s hearts, there
will always be Heartless.
Many
of the dark forces which Sora comes up against who use Heartless end up
themselves falling to the darkness and becoming possessed by the Heartless.
Pure
Blood
These Heartless come
into existence naturally. If they are
defeated with a Keyblade, the heart will be liberated. Many of the Heartless in the world are these.
Example:
Shadow
The
Realm of Darkness is overrunning with Pure Bloods.
Emblem
Xehanort and the
other apprentices of Ansem created these Heartless through experiments of
causing darkness within hearts. As proof
of their dissension from Xehanort, they all include the “X” shape forged into
their emblems.
Examples:
Soldier, Sea Neon.
Nobody
Counterpart
of the Heartless they are essentially not anyone and are dark monsters given an
appropriate name. They come into
existence when a person with a strong heart becomes a Heartless. Most of them are white bodied creatures, but
a special few with especially strong hearts are able to retain their human
forms when they become Nobodies.
Countering
the existence of a Heartless being the darkness from a heart, Nobodies are the
body and soul detached from the heart.
Despite having no emotions, Nobodies have memories and intellect and are
able to work in groups, and because their existence is precarious, if they are
left alone, eventually they will melt into the darkness.
If
a heart is liberated from the Heartless and a Nobody is destroyed, the human
form will be restored.
Examples:
Dusk.
Organization
XIII members are able to give orders to lesser Nobodies.
Unversed
Born from
feelings of anger and hatred, these dark monsters receive their names from not
being well versed in their own existences.
In KH BbS they appeared in the Realm of Light, frightening all the
people around. They were materialized
from the collected negative emotions from Vanitas, and when Vanitas was
defeated by Ventus they vanished.
Example:
Flood.
Dream
Eater
They are
creatures who nest in the worlds trapped in sleep and feed on dreams. They are separated into those who cause
nightmares: “Nightmare” and those who eat nightmares: “Spirit,” and the Spirits
will lend their powers to Sora and Riku.
Examples:
Meow Wow (Nightmare), Meow Wow (Spirit).
Organization
XIII
A
group of powerful Nobodies who retain their appearances from when they were
human. The organization is made up of 13
members and all of their names have been rearranged from their human names into
anagrams including the mark of dissension, the letter “X.”
These
Nobodies realize that they are incomplete existences and believe that if they
complete the Kingdom Hearts of People’s Hearts they can become whole again, but
they were destroyed by Sora and his friends.
However, the secret goal of the organization was to supplement the 13 Darknesses,
and when near completion would begin again as True Organization XIII.
Members:
Xemnas, Xigbar, Xaldin, Vexen, Lexaeus, Zexion, Saïx,
Axel, Demyx, Luxord, Marluxia, Larxene, Roxas and Xion.
No. 1
~ 6 were the apprentices of Ansem the Wise, and the final member Xion was not
considered an official number thus she was given the number “i” as an imaginary
number.
True
Organization XIII
Xehanort
and his other forms make up the 13 Seekers of Darkness. They make up the 13 Darknesses and intend to
clash with the 7 Lights in order to forge the χ-Blade. In KH 3D there are 12
members ready in the organization and of those 12 the current 6 known to Sora
and his friends are Master Xehanort, Ansem, Xemnas, Xigbar, Saïx,
and Young Xehanort.
Villains
Maleficent
and Pete among others who appear as the antagonists in Disney films make up
this group. Using the Heartless and dark
powers they try to stop Sora from succeeding in his journeys.
In
KH1, Maleficent and the other Villains conspire to obtain Kingdom Hearts.
