Once discovered, a humanoid Nobody is inducted into Organization when an existing member gives them their new name. These names are anagrams of the names of their original identities, or "Others", with the insertion of an "X" as both a symbol that they have rejected their old identities, and as a callback to the [[χ-blade]].<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''' "Xemnas gives Organization members names with an X in them. This has something to do with Master Xehanort’s interest in the χ-Blade."</ref> The only exception to this is the pseudo-member Xion, whose name is based on an anagram of "No.i", her ID as one of the [[Replica]]s. | Once discovered, a humanoid Nobody is inducted into Organization when an existing member gives them their new name.

In the naming ritual, the name of the [[Nobody]]'s "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent light, then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name. | In the naming ritual, the name of the [[Nobody]]'s "other" appears before them in translucent, iridescent light, then an "X" drops down and the letters re-arrange themselves until they form a new name. | ||

After being renamed, each member is given a uniform and a rank from I to XIII. The rank is based on seniority, and although the leader of the Organization, Xemnas, is also the rank I member, the ranks are not true measures of authority within the Organization. For example, the rank IV Vexen, a founding member of the Organization, is subordinate to the rank XI Marluxia, while the rank VII Saïx acts as Xemnas's second-in-command, right before the rank II Xigbar. Their uniform, a [[Black Coat|hooded, black leather coat]], was chosen because it was something once worn by [[Master Xehanort]], Xemnas's primary original persona, to safeguard him from the darkness between worlds while not cutting him off from it.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts Ultimania|Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep Ultimania]]''''' "...the Nobody Xemnas was born, and the Organization which he creates take a lot of things from his memories as a human... The coat used by the Organization was something that Master Xehanort originally wore."</ref> It is plainly adorned with a silver zipper and seemingly decorative silver beaded pull strings for the hood that form a semi-circle in the middle. Each member wears their zippers at differing points. Underneath their coats, most of the members wear [[wikipedia:hakama|hakama]]-esque black pants and knee high silver trimmed boots, with the exceptions of Roxas, who wears sneakers of the same color, and Larxene and Xion, who wear a more feminized version of the boots with heels. In addition to this, they all wear lengthy, black leather gloves. The exact contours of the coats vary from person to person. | After being renamed, each member is given a uniform and a rank from I to XIII.
