Nobody
Nobodies, aka "incomplete," are a race that are only half an original person. They are created when one of strong will is engulfed by darkness, leaving behind an emotionless, but sentient shell that resembles that of a person. The closest things they have to emotions are vague memories of their past self to go off of. Only human or humanoid races are capable of becoming nobodies
Physical Description
From Kingdom Hearts |
They resemble that of a person, some of which having bizarre and unnatural hair colors. Nobodies are incapable of aging but seem to typically be that between the ages of 15 and 20, though older ones with the looks of shaven men have been seen. They are mostly seen in their common attire, which consists of a black trench coat with a chain near the neck to hold both ends together even when not zipped.
History
They once used to be a "whole person" but, having been overcome by darkness, lost any sort of emotion. This is because the darkness separated their hearts from their bodies. Nobodies are thus just the body left over. Though they maintain any former intelligence and most of their memories, some have been observed to lack this. This sort of occurrence became more common as does the darkness grew stronger, making more nobodies. Not every person is strong-willed and so some nobodies were lesser than others. It is said that the "original" person or form remains, but in another dimension comprised of darkness. Nobodies seek to recapture this semblance of their past self by gaining hearts.
Society
Amongst those who wear the coat are those part of a cult known as "Organization XIII" who worship this heart shaped moon referred to as "Kingdom Hearts". They hope that, one day, this entity would return to them their emotions and make them whole once more. However, rogue nobodies, or those who are not part of the cult, have no interest in this, instead usually mindlessly obeying the will of higher nobodies. All nobodies reside and come forth from The Castle That Never Was, a space hidden between that of light and darkness.
