Everything We Know About Unbirths So Far

[Audo]

EVERYTHING WE KNOW ABOUT
UNBIRTHS
-SO FAR-

-INTRODUCTION-

I know what you are all think "Here's R-K again whoring out his series" while that is technically true, at the same time it isn't. =]
I was asked to make this thread by my fellow KHI staff members (due in part that all of my 'Everything We Know' threads are being used on the actual KHI website now for the games pages and what not.) So they asked me to make this one aswell, and, who am I to disagree? =]

Oh, again, I should point out that this is not the ? Thread either (sheesh I wonder what it could be? XD). But I think I should probably run the drill again as to what these threads are for =]

I made this thread to help new members, as well as old, touch up on the facts about what we know concerning the Unbirths. I was tired of seeing so many people clueless about the three games so I made the 358 thread, the BBS thread, and the Coded thread - and now, I'm bringing you a thread all about our favourite mystery Enemies for the same reasons. I hope many members find something of value in this thread, and if not, I hope you all can at least appreciate the work that I have put in for your - the members' - benefit. So, enjoy! ^__________________^

DISCLAIMER: Please note, the content and writing of this thread technically belongs to me. I put in a lot of work on these pages and they are not allowed to be copied, distributed or posted, in part or of its entirety, on any site other than KHInsider. Thank you, and I hope you can understand why.

-GENERAL-

When Birth By Sleep was first revealed at TGS 2007, many were surprised to see something new - a new enemy. Not much information was given about these previously unnamed enemies, except for that fact that they were not Nobodies or Heartless (due to them not existing during BBS time).

Slowly details began to peal away, and we learned that these new creatures were some sort of "groundwork" for what would later become the Heartless/Nobodies, and that Nomura said that they were to be imagined of a sort of "starting point". He also went on to say that these new enemies were very fast and agile and there was something of a "wild concept" to them.

For whatever reasons, these new enemies do not exist after Birth By Sleep, and the reasons to why that is are said to be answered within the game.

-NAME-

At the DKΣ3713 Party in August, the previously unnamed new enemies were finally titled during the BBS Gameplay Demo. In a scene in the demo, Terra remarks that the new enemies must have been the "unbirths" that Master had told him about. After nearly a year long wait, the enemies names had finally been revealed, but what exactly their names mean is yet another mystery of BBS.

-APPEARANCE-

(Note, above is an artist rendition of the Unbirths)

The Unbirths appearance ranges from the different species but of them seems to be in a palette of different shades of blues, and all of them share one common feature - blood red eyes. Currently we have only seen two types of Unbirths (the two pictured above) but, like the Heartless and Nobodies, there are believed to be a lot more types.

Nomura has said that the Unbirths on the left (emblem-less) is to be considered on the same level as Shadow Heartless and Dusks, it is believed that he means they are the weakest and most common form of Unbirths, just like the Shadows and Dusks are for Heartless and Nobodies respectfully.

-SYMBOL-

A few Unbirths we have seen so far have a new logo/emblem on them (seen above). This emblem is obviously believed to be the emblem of the Unbirths and many have speculated that since some have them and some don't that they are artficial, much like the Heartless, however confirmation on this is nonexistent.

Mouse: "Everyday, she has to do the cleaning and the laundry, it's like another world to her."
Ven: "I know the feeling."
Ven: "Alright! Let's help make her dream come true!"
Mouse: "How will we do that?"
Ven: "We'll make a dress!"
Ven: "We'll look for the materials inside the house and tailor one for her."
Mouse: "Good idea!"
Mouse: "Well then, there is some white ribbon, pink thread, and white lace in the lower dressing room.Any of it will be good, so look for at least two."
Mouse: "I'll sew the dress right here."

Mouse: "Ven! Keep an eye out for Lucifer!"
Ven: "Lucifer?"

So guys, I'm getting reports of some people stealing the content I have written for these threads, and using it elsewhere without permission. If you guys hear about anything like this, or see this thread on any site other than KHInsider can you please let me know? It's very important, thanks.
Just a note though, due to the fact that the threads are going to make up the BBS/358/Coded/XIV/Unbirth pages on the main site, these threads are not allowed to be posted anywhere else, even if they do say "credit to R-K". So keep that in mind =]

[belleaurora]

Awesome job as always. I would rep you again but I have to share the rep points around until I can rep you again. Well done and thanks!

Can't wait to find out more information!

[Marly]

Simply Amazing R-K! (horrible Axel reference D=).. anyway really it is amazing! Still waiting for that ? thread


P.S. Too short, didnt read

[Xigbar]

Whoa, finally a clear shot of the Unbirth's Symbol! ^ ^ And I knew that the left side Unbirth is the weakest, just like the Shadow and the Dusk, though the name of those two Unbirths has yet to be revealed and brings more mystery to BBS. R-K, you deserve a kudos, brother! ^ ^

[Metalmanmac1]

great as always R-K! cant wait for the ? thread!

[Organization_42]

So they really are called the Unbirths then? Interesting. I like it; it runs with the theme of names like "Heartless" and "Nobody".

When Terra says, "Are these the Unbirths Master spoke of?" that would imply that he's never seen them before. Yet he seems to be an experienced Keyblade wielder. If these creatures are a "starting point" for the Heartless, and they're new to Terra, perhaps they really are experiments created by MX, which ceased to exist after he died. Then, the Xehanort we know stumbled on to sketches of the old enemy, and borrowed that concept to create the artificial Heartless.

[TwilightRiku_13]

Awsome!!! Thanks for the info, now I am really excited about Birth by Sleep.

[urutapu]

They're kind of weird-looking...but I'm blaming that on the artist/his memory for now.

[JH]

Great stuff, as usual.

Recommendation: Create one of these for Xion. It'll shut people up.

EDIT: Nevermind, I'm an idiot.

[Raz]

The artists impression of Unbirths are really cute.
But good job, again.

[Iridium]

Btw RK, I've found a better version of the BBS trailer, if you want to replace it that is.
Here you go

Sure you're already seen it but just a suggestion :3

As for the ubirths they're very interesting, especially the insignia.

[yugi300]

Good job for making this thread RK (as usual)!~.

[Erlix]

You did a great job on this thread thanks alot for the info.

[Smile]

I have to say that finally enemies that actually look evil.
I mean, the Heartless had that goofy grin when you could see their expression, same with the Nobodies. Those actually look mean XD

[KH-Lover]

aw... they look adorable! (dont ask i think all of the enemies lok cute :3) that must have taken a long time to write... really good job on the plus side!
