Replica Xehanort: Difference between revisions

During his time with [[Organization XIII]], [[Vexen]] created twenty replicas as part of his research. While two of these replicas—[[Riku Replica]] and [[No. i]]—went on to become successful in their own right, and the six that followed would come to be used as vessels for the [[real Organization XIII]] members who traveled through time, the initial twelve were deemed as failures, barely considered to be human at all.<ref>'''''[[Secret Report 7]]'', ''Vexen''': "In my work on the Replica Program for the Organization, I produced some twenty vessels. Most of the early results were failures, not one of them granted a number. The first success to emerge from that early lot was the Riku replica. Subsequently, Xion (No. i) was essentially indistinguishable from a natural human, though she became unstable due to the influence of others. Using those two as my foundation, I worked to construct a number of nigh-perfect replicas, but just as they neared completion, my efforts were cut short. I suspect Xehanort aims to use both the initial lot as well as the unused replicas from my later work."</ref>

As part of Xehanort's final plan, Vexen is recruited to refine the initial twelve replicas to make them closer to real humans,<ref>'''''[[Secret Report 8]]'', ''Vexen''': "Xemnas cannot exist in the present because there is already a Xehanort here: the old man in charge. The old man's humanity prevents his Heartless and Nobody, others vanquished in the past, and his younger self from being denizens of this time. To circumvent this, Xehanort is using the prototype replicas I created in the past as containers, plucking his other selves' hearts from the time they existed. Xehanort ordered me to refine the prototypes, to make them closer still to the real thing. Perfecting my creations so they may house true, flesh-and-blood humans suits my own purposes as well."</ref> which are converted into the Replica Xehanorts. The completed replicas appear in [[Scala ad Caelum]], having been summoned by [[Master Xehanort]]. Initially appearing as phantoms of the original Xehanort, they soon take on a new form, wearing purple cloaks with silver masks hiding their faces. The twelve replicas vanish, hiding in four smaller groups for surprise attacks. After being defeated by the trio, the replicas are absorbed by Master Xehanort to increase his powers, transforming him into Armored Xehanort.
