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. | ||

The Organization is also represented within the '''[[Proof of Existence]]''', a room within the castle's central tower that contains thirteen portals marked with images of each of the members' weapons. The portals lead to other rooms, presumably belonging to each member of the Organization, and the state of the portal is a mirror of its member's own state: when a member has been destroyed, their portal is rendered inactive or can even break.<!--cover the Replica Data room--> | The Organization is also represented within the '''[[Proof of Existence]]''', a room within the castle's central tower that contains thirteen portals marked with images of each of the members' weapons.

As Xemnas's second-in-command, Saïx is tasked with giving assignments to the other members. As Roxas and Xion are the only two able to harvest hearts, the other members are given other duties, such as performing reconnaissance or trying to sow seeds of darkness in order to promote good conditions for harvesting hearts. | ||
Each member is aware of their lack of emotions, and many of them pretend to have emotions. For example, Saïx battles in a seeming rage, while Larxene taunts her opponents by giggling and winking. The idea that the Nobodies lack emotions is expanded upon in the manga and novel series, which depict the members with true emotions, but explain that they are plagued by a feeling of uncertainty and emptiness due to not having hearts. The manga further displays this "plagued" feeling by showing the members engaging in tasks like jigsaw puzzles, cooking, and reading to try to fill their emptiness. | Each member is aware of their lack of emotions, and many of them pretend to have emotions.
