Okay. Let's seam everything together and see what we get:
We know that Birth By Sleep takes place at least ten years before KHI.
We know that Terra, Ven and Aqua are Keyblade wielders, and followers of Master Xehanort, who is a Keyblade wielder himself.
Terra, Ven and Aqua have been looking for Master Xehanort, only to confront him in that rocky place (which most people call Sunset Horizons).
Ven is petrified while MX lets this blue light into the sky, creating something which looks like Kingdom Hearts, albeit blue in colour.
We know that the first enemies were the Unbirths.
We know that MX confronted Ven and, with a ball of darkness, asks Ven to liberate his true self (perhaps planning to erase him). Mickey Mouse confronts MX and protects Ven.
Terra and Ven were seen together on the Main Island of Destiny Islands, and Ven tells Terra to erase him.
Some time later, Terra sees four-year-old Sora and five-year-old Riku sword-fighting on the Small Island.
We also know that Terra's eyes turn amber while his hair turns white at the end of Birth By Sleep.
We know that a guy named Xehanort survived the Keyblade War with no memory of his past, and was taken by Ansem the Wise as an apprentice along with Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus and Ienzo.
We know that Braig (or perhaps his Nobody, Xigbar) had an encounter with Terra, Ven and Aqua for him to tell Sora, "You're not half the hero the others were."
Xehanort, Braig, Dilan, Even, Aeleus and Ienzo all turned into Heartless and left Nobodies behind. Coincidentally, Terra, Xehanort and his Nobody Xemnas all have the same centre-parted hair. Xehanort assumed the name of his master, Ansem and sent Kairi to Destiny Islands to tap the power of the Keyblade Master, whom he felt was in Destiny Islands. He also banished Ansem the Wise from Radiant Garden.
Ansem the Wise decided to befriend Darkness and travel in the realm of Nothingness, calling himself DiZ (Darkness in Zero).
We know that Xehanort and company continued Ansem's research on darkness and created Heartless.
Xehanort created many Heartless artificially and placed his emblem on them. Coincidentally, the Heartless emblem and the emblem worn by Terra, Ven and Aqua bear the same shape.
We know that based on Ansem's Secret Reports, the mayhem of the Heartless have lasted some eleven years.
A meteor shower took place in Destiny Islands, suggesting that the barrier of the world has crumbled. Kairi is the "new girl" in the mayor's house and Riku and Sora, who hear of her coming, talk about it in the Secret Place and decide to go and see her.
Sora, Riku and Kairi grow up together.
Riku, then 15, opened the Keyhole of Destiny Islands because he wanted to escape that island, and he rendered himself to darkness. Sora became the wielder of the Keyblade and went in search of his friends Riku and Kairi. Then we have the whole KHI, Chain of Memories and KHII story.
We also know that Sora sacrificed his heart to save Kairi, creating his Nobody, Roxas - and when Sora was brought back to life, Roxas endured. Coincidentally, Roxas bears an uncanny resemblance to Ven.
From the events in Final Mix+ we see that Xemnas sees Aqua's armour and Keyblade in the Room of Sleep and talks to it, and calls it Friend, and the armour seems to respond to him.
Mickey Mouse refers to Xehanort/Xemnas/Xehanort's Heartless as Xehanort and not Terra. (IMHO, if Xehanort were really Terra, and he had lost his memory, the first name he could think of was the name of his master.)
We know that someone who has forgotten how to wield the Keyblade cannot do it anymore. Terra was a Keyblade wielder. Xehanort wasn't. But Xehanort, in writing Ansem Reports, wanted to tap the power of the Keyblade master, and did not understand the power of the Keyblade, which is not likely for someone who has forgotten how to wield the Keyblade.
Also, from the events of Final Mix+, someone called the Lingering Sentiment, with Terra's armour and Keyblade, attacked Sora and company, thinking Sora was Master Xehanort's ally.
From this course of events, what can we say ?
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
We can say that Terra's a jackass just like Xehanort, but seriously, We can put together that Terra is the only one able to be Xehanort, Ven is Sora's Unbirth, we have no clue who is Aqua, the apprentice looks like Dark form Riku, and that apperintly we are very good at puttin stuff together-Clarkmaster
LOL you got me on that one. :D Who IS Aqua anyway ? I guess Nomura must've done a good job doing her up because not a single soul can speculate who she is.
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Well as far as we know, she died, or turned into heartless/nobody/unbirth because of her armor in Xemnas room, I've also seen that Xemnas in armor form vagly resembles Terra in his armor-Clarkmaster
What puzzles me the most is that Aqua's armour actually responded to Xemnas.
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Well, there's two ways this could happen, one: her soul is possesing the armor, two: Xemnas is crazy-Clarkmaster
ROTFLMAO. :D Sounds plausible.
I'm as good as new! All my functions have been restored! • TroisNyxÉtienne
I vote on him being crazy, but what I just thought the two heartless optional bosses, phantom and kurt ziza, they could be the apprintece-Clarkmaster
When Xigbar is talking to Zexion about the room of sleep (Where Aqua's armor is), he is ends by saying that: Maybe, in Calstle Oblivion, that's where the "other" room is. (Or something like that) What could be in the Other room? Xiggie
What I know about the other room is that it's called the Room of Awakening, and it is definitely in Castle Oblivion. Not sure what's in there, but that could've been the reason why Xemnas chose Castle Oblivion as an operating base in the first place.
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Well the awakening could be what sora and roxas had to go through, exactly why I dont remember, but it could be the awakening of the only one that's missing, Ven, so that could further help explain Ven choosing Way to Dawn as the castle was in the nobody castle, a castle of twilight- Clarkmaster
Maybe so. But the castle wasn't originally theirs, I'd say. No doubt, Castle Oblivion is situated in the Realm of In Between. They just came upon it, and seeing that no one actually had possession of the castle, they used it for themselves.
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Ok, but technacly they are nobodies so no one is actually living there, but I get what your saying, so what are the unbirth atributes? Heartless=Darkness. Nobodies=Nothingness/Twilight. Sora and friends=Light.-Clarkmaster
I suppose that, only Nomura knows. But what's the opposite of human life ? We can choose whichever power we want for ourselves, so to speak. If the Nobodies were a menace to beings of both Light and Darkness, then the Unbirths might've been a menace to them all - and them all here means all realms !
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
I thank you nailed it at menace. If you can't controll something powerful, than it causes chaos and if they're is a realm of chaos than the keyblade and its weilder would have to be one of the five new keyblade weilders from Birth By Sleep-Clarkmaster
Sweet, a realm of chaos ! :D Now what, find Keyblade Master #5 in the sequel ?
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Well, if all of the keblade Masters die or something in birth by sleep than there's gotta be a sequel with a keyblade masterClarkmaster
In that case, a Keyblade master apart from Sora, Riku, Kairi and Mickey. Now, who could be that chaotic ?
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Of course, but that would mean another major character, the revealing of Ven, Terra, and Aqua to Sora and the revealing of the new Clarkmaster
Well, Xehanort's apprentice was seen wielding a Keyblade.
Helping others always comes before asking others for help. • TroisNyxÉtienne
Lol, we all totally got off track, but let's look at this. Xigbar seems to know the most about all this Birth by Sleep stuff, followed by Xemnas. So maybe Braig is the reason why Xehanort lost his memories. It could also explain why Xemnas and Xigbar never seem to like eachother. Another theory, is that Xehanort IS Terra, explaining the similar looks, and Braig was supposed to be like a keyblade master, but instead Terra was picked instead, and Braig did the same thing Riku did with Sora in KH1, and then they became friends again... I probably sound crazy, but from my point of view... no I am crazy-- Morghman
Heartless,Nobody,and Unbirth
GohanRULEZ - Turn Back the Pendulum,Shout the Truth TALK - We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in
Is it a possibility that the Unbirth's that are the Body? Because as we all know,Heartless=Heart,Nobody=Soul
So it could be that the Unbirths are the Bodies,and what does this mean:
They are, in essence, "the opposite of human life." I still don't understand that.
Well what you say is wrong i think.
people have hearts. something without a heart = heartLESS
people have bodies. something withouth a body = NObody
people have souls. something without a soul, meaning that it has never been born. =unbirth.
The opposite of life is something wich hasn't been born. because death is part of the circle of life, it isn't the opposite.
Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}}
You're wrong...
When someone (with a heart, body and Soul) is consumed by darkness, the darkness in his heart is given shape and form, therefore making a Heartless, however, if that person is a strong hearted individual turns into a heartless, "the empty shell he leaves behind starts to act with a will of its own", therefore creating a Nobody.
Unbirths can't have anything to do with this process. Otherwise, there would be Unbirths in the other games!
It's weird...
Heartless actually have hearts... and a body of darkness...
Nobodies actually have bodies... and a soul... but no heart
maybe Unbirths have a soul... and a heart...
Who knows?
GohanRULEZ - Turn Back the Pendulum,Shout the Truth TALK - We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in
Well I guess we'll just have to wait until BBS to find out.
Unbirth - Unborn
It may be referring to beings that never had the chance to be born. If that is right, then it will explain why an Unbirth isn't present in the original games, seeing how Heartless and Nobodies are already born beings. User:Charmed-Jay
Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}}
eh, how does that explain it?
It's called "Unbirth" and refers to the opposite of human life. if not death, then it mean never-born. maybe the spirit that died before it could hatch in a body. User:Charmed-Jay
Heartless are created from the hearts of people who fall into darkness. Nobodies are created from those people who lose their hearts. IMO, Unbirths are created from souls who don't have hearts and/or bodies. Simple, makes sense. Drake Clawfang 20:40, 16 February 2009 (UTC)
GohanRULEZ - Turn Back the Pendulum,Shout the Truth TALK - We're not tools of the government or anyone else. Fighting was the only thing I was good at, but at least I always fought for what I believed in
So Unbirths are the Soul? Hm...makes sense.But who did they come to be? Who made them? Are they Created the same way Heartless or Nobodies are? So many questions,it mask my head hurt.
Just because we're kids doesn't mean we can't run a business— {{{time}}}
That makes good sense! hmm, they seem to be both pureblood (made naturally) and emblem (someone made them)... and there are no unbirths in the other KH ames... wonder what happened
In Kingdom Hearts II
Just throwing this one out there. My friend and I restarted Kingdom Hearts II for the umpteenth time last night, and at the part where Roxas takes Naminé's drawing to the library, I though of something. You know how there are three symbols he has to draw in? You only get to see two: the Heartless and Nobody symbol. This is just a guess, but maybe the third one that the light blocks out is the unbirth symbol. Sorry if someone already mentioned this... ><;; Daydreamer3173
GREAT THEORY. I think yours works. =) --Zack fair 007 23:05, 25 May 2009 (UTC)
that symbol was a crown (perhaps a "Somebody" or "Complete" emblem)and we already have an Unbirth symbol.and this theory has been stated thousands of times.Good try though.Swing and a miss.
Ah, well, I never heard it before, so I wasn't sure. What a shame. ><; -Daydreamer3173
It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 17:55, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
An article from one of the new magazines has a BBS interview, which is currently being translated at KHI. Apparently, in the interview it says this:
"Megaton: They are not "unbirths". The English name is "unversed", meaning "ones not well-versed in existence" or "ones that do not understand life".
The translator then goes on to say:
"Unbirths" is a mistranslation. This article writes it out what it's supposed to be in English - "unversed" - and then further explains the literal meaning. We've been mis-understanding the phonetic Japanese all this time."
So yeah, waiting on the rest of the interview.

Guess I'm thinking math : inverse opperations (lit. the opposite of what has been done.) This may describe these so called "Unversed."

ShadowXemnas - Nothingness...is...ETERNAL!!! TALK - Turn to Darkness!
Well, wait no more. I just checked KHInsider and looked at a (rough) translation of the interveiw with Tetsuya Nomura that confirms the information. Just like Guardian Soul said, they're called the "Unversed" in english, meaning ones who are not well-versed in the ways of life/existence. It goes on to say that they are created from negative emotions. No further explanation was made into how or why. It's very interesting. Other than the Unversed, the interview went on to discuss the Castle of Dreams and Deep Space (Sorry, everyone. KH will not be visiting Hawaii this year), the Command Deck system (Said to be similar to CoM, but very different), and a small mention of KHIII. Just a mention, no hints or anything.
It's such a shame. The Organization used to be the rope that bound us together. - 21:18, 25 August 2009 (UTC)
Isn't 'Unversed' for more than one?
How did you possibly come to that conclusion?—Urutapu 21:20, 25 August 2009 (UTC)

I'm worried about the translation they'll make in french for Unversed. We already have Simili instead of Nobody...

This is about unversed. Not Ven If you want to start up a conversation about Ven Go to his page then click Talk.
On Page 121, it labels one of the Unversed as an "Illusionist", with quotation marks. Should this be taken as an official translation?
Well, the quotation marks don't really mean anything (Japanese people put quotation marks on things when they want a little emphasis, apparently, because they use them about twice as much as an English speaker would) but no, it's not the enemy's name. I'm looking at the Japanese scan and in the same place, there's a Japanese name (kanji and hiragana); I doubt they'd write an enemy name in anything but katakana. The article is simply describing it as a magician-like enemy.—Urutapu 17:23, December 10, 2009 (UTC)
In the new blog post, Nomura mentions an Unversed named the "Buckle Bruiser" and that it is capable of repelling your attacks. That's Unversed #2; however we don't know which of the ones we've seen already are the BB so making a new page for it now would be useless. But we do know it shows up in Olympus Coliseum, so I'm guessing it's that Gladiator Unversed.
have any confermation of name of the unversed? i need hes official name for my research
Birth by Sleep Spoilers
The Unversed appear to be the creation of Vanitas, who is the creation of Master Xehanort (with Ventus' help). Vanitas, being made of all of the Darkness that was extracted from Ventus' Heart, is possibly the first Unversed. The Unversed, as you know, are considered the opposite of human life. In the KH Universe, humans are denizens of the Realm of Light. Vanitas, though extracted from a human, is pure Darkness and therefore cannot be a denizen of Light. Thus making him a human from the Realm of Darkness, which would overall make Vanitas a sort of 'anti-human', or the opposite of Human life. Because Vanitas is comprised only of Darkness, it is implied that he would have some control over it and could even influence the Darkness into consciousness and form as the Unversed.XYZ. 05:27, March 4, 2010 (UTC)

Someone that you are holding against their will? LET THEM GO!
I have played all the games before it's just this birth by sleep is little more difficult to understand considering it's not out yet, anyways, so is vanitas a heartless because he is the darkness in ventus's heart? 75.162.81.166 23:38, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
I think Vanitas is technically an Unversed because he is Ven's darkness and thus the opposite of Ven. Also, the Unversed were created with Vanitas's creation. Coincidence? Doubtful.
Now Im not familiar with the FF storyline so don't be mad if it's not as funny as intended but couldnt sephiroth be considered a unversed because he is clouds darkness?75.162.81.166 00:00, January 21, 2010 (UTC)
Well by the end of Birth By Sleep all Unversed are destroyed from existence, so I don't see how that could be possible.
The Unversed seem to combine attributes of the Heartless and Nobodies. They have similar appearances to Heartless, and move like Nobodies. A sign of their being precursors, perhaps? And, should this be put in the article? 68.190.210.240 03:23, January 20, 2010 (UTC)
The Unversed, being an extension of Vanitas, wouldn't exist until his creation, right? Before Vanitas's creation, we see Ventus trying to fend off some Neoshadow Heartless. Unless someone had created an Unversed before Master Xehanort created Vanitas, I think it's safe to assume that the Heartless are the "first enemy," especially since Heartless could've existed for as long as darkness has been in hearts. Now depending on whether a heart strong enough to create a Nobody had been consumed by the time of Birth by Sleep (and if so, if they had the number, means, and desire to become a threat), Unversed would probably end up as the second or third.
A big problem we're having is that the history of the Kindom Hearts universe doesn't go very far back. Aside from a fairy tale and a few passing references to a Keyblade War, we've got little more than a decade of information.
I've noticed two things. First, the wiki's using higher-resolution emblems on the Heartless and Nobody pages, and the Heartless emblem in particular was a cleaned and upscaled version of the emblem found elswhere. My second observation, which may just be a lack of decent screen grabs, is that the Unversed don't use a blue-to-black faded scheme, but rather a black emblem with a white outline. As such, I've retraced the current emblem on the wiki in a vector program in black and added the white outline. I humbly offer it here for those with a bit more sense for this sort of thing to decide whether it ought to be added to the page or not. I've saved the image as a png with transparent background.
Well, we do need a new image but not that one. Take a look at these images here and here. The top four spikes on the emblem are more curvier than what is shown on the image that we have and your remake. The image we have on the page is an old image back from when they were still known as the "Unbirth". If you could make a updated version with the new curved spikes, we could talk about putting it up. - HeartOfOblivion 04:41, January 23, 2010 (UTC)
You know, I'd looked at those pictures to double check the colors, but it never occurred to me that the shape might've been altered. After taking a close look at the images, I decided to redraw all the points.

the unverseds are the sentiment ofvanitas, vanitas may be technicaly a unversed but i don't think that he is
Emblem Unverseds
Don't you think that the only Unversed that Vanitas really creat is the Flood(the only one without a emblem) and the others are Floods that grew from other peoples negative felling? I know that this seem to came out of nowhere but it kinda make sense--Xabryn 02:49, March 27, 2010 (UTC)
Similarities to Heartless and Nobodies?
There are some. For instance, the numerous types of both heartless and unversed. And look at how the unversed react when hit, similar to the nobodies, right?24.205.43.42 05:52, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Maybe the Nobody thing, but there's numerous types of cats, as well, and that doesn't make cats similar to Heartless.GloriousCHAOS! 08:11, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
They used the same movements for many things (the Flood "jumps" in the floor the exact same way as a Neoshadow, the ArchRaven flies exacty like a Wyvern, etc...), I guess they were simply a bit lazy. --UnbirthSubmit!! 13:27, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Nah, there's some sort of actual connection. I mean, yes, there are numerous types of cats, but look at the unversed, say, a flood, then look at a heartless, say, a shadow. You can tell that they're alike. And it's more that just a coincedence.--Kingdom zachdawg 13:59, April 7, 2010 (UTC)
Yeah, that's what I was talking about. It seems like several of the Unversed have a similar Heartless (Flood/Shadow, Scrapper/Soldier, Trinity Armor/Guard Armor, the list continues)24.205.43.42 22:23, April 9, 2010 (UTC)

I dont know if any of you know this, but the unversed symbol we have here is a fan made one, they never introduced the official unverse symbol until the theme showed up. So i suggest we change it
