Pretty much ever since Ephemera disappeared, I've believed that he would wind up being tied to Xehanort somehow, if not outright being a part of the True Organization.So practically insinuating Ephemera might be the Satan/"ultimate evil" of the KH universe?
Something about that phrase just made me laugh more than it should've. I know that anything's possible, but somehow the idea of Ephemera being KH Satan is just hilarious for some reason. Diabolic dandelion-head...
Pretty much ever since Ephemera disappeared, I've believed that he would wind up being tied to Xehanort somehow, if not outright being a part of the True Organization.
And within the past few months I've started to wonder if, perhaps, Ephemera is the Sixth Apprentice.
This would line up with his interest in the Foretellers and the Book of Prophecies, as well as his relationship with Ava.
So it could be that Ephemera is where this all started.
I feel as though the nightmare Chirithy is representing something similar to the Xehanortification process happening to Ephemera. We've seen the darker coloured Chirithy before and it's been hinted to be Ephemera's. Just as it took time for Xehanort's heart to grow in Braig the same is true for Ephemera. Players who reject the darkness or are not strong enough disappear and potentially become these new humanoid Heartless. But what would happen if one accepts the darkness fully? Their Chirithy, a representation of themselves, becomes "covered" in darkness just like them.
In short, Ephemera has a piece of someone's dark heart growing in him and the Chirithy displays the process (yellow eyes and pointy ears represent the process of becoming Xehanort in the present day). Although the process was successful Ephemera discovered a way to transcend the control of assumed person (Master of Masters/sixth apprentice) and become "unchained" from their grip, projecting himself into the dreams of Player & Skuld.
But that's just my two cents on the matter.
There's something to him turning into scattered dandelions. Afterall, all that fuzz that blows off is seeds - kind of harkens to Xehanort's heart seeds that he implants.
Well, there are other factors.But of he would be the sixth then the Foretellers would recognize him wouldn't they? While Ava and him seem to be on remotely friendly terms she doesn't seem to treat him as an old acquaintance.

Well, there are other factors.
Ephemera managed to become "Unchained," and I have my suspicions that the Foretellers are also Unchained. I can't imagine that a normal Keyblade wielder would just happen to reach that state.
I think the relationship between the Foretellers and the Sixth may be complicated, hence Ava saying how she's the easiest to talk to among them.
I mean, even mentioning something like that implies that Ephemera has equal means or opportunity to communicate with all of the Foretellers, right? The rest of the players don't seem to have such a luxury. We can't even speak to our own Foreteller, let alone the others. We had to overstep our bounds and trespass into their territory in order to get a meaningful interaction with them.
That dialogue also suggests to me that Ephemera isn't a part of the group of wielders that Ava has been collecting (can't recall if that was confirmed or not), so his lack of canon Union is suspect.
Wasn't Lucifer supposed to be the most beautiful Angel or something though? Lol.
I am curious as to how all of this is going to play out.
I would wager that anyone can become Unchained, it's just a matter of knowing how. And if Player is becoming Unchained, it may be through Ephemera's influence.Interesting idea, although I'd say that so far we know too little about this "unchained" state to make a definite call on this, not to mention that it seems to be implied that Player would also be able to reach that state so it isn't a Foreteller/Apprentice only thing except if one wants to theorize that Player might actually be an unaccounted seventh one.
Her Union is as-yet unconfirmed. But if she was in the same party as Ephemera, then her Union would depend on Player's, like his does. So for me, as Vulpeus, she would be Ursus.If that group and Skuld's "party" of which Ephemera once was a member of is the same thing remains to be seen. Has there been any information of Skuld's union (or lack of it) be revealed?
The group of wielders Ava is collecting was mentioned by other players I think, not by any of the Foretellers or Ephemera. Most people put Ephemera with that group possibly because it was said that this group collects wielders across all unions/who don't belong to any union, which is a criteria Ephemera fulfills.
And Ava's last words towards Ephemera when he runs off after their last conversation may also be seen as hints towards it.

I bet we end up having to kill Ephemera.

There's a lot of mystery surrounding the characters of this game, even Player, so I feel like anything is possible at this point.
At times I can't even keep track of all the ideas that come to mind.
Possibly having to add another candidate to Sora's expanding "to save"-list of suffering people which escalate in suffering time each instance a new "group" is added?I bet we end up having to kill Ephemera.
It's worth considering as well that the player may also fit that criteria, as in Unchained X, we can switch Unions whenever we want.
Expanding on Echo's post, here's a list of Ephemera's Unions (left) depending on the player (right):
Leopardus-->Vulpes
Unicornis-->Anguis
Vulpes-->Unicornis
Anguis-->Ursus
Ursus-->Leopardus
Though it's certainly possible that Ephemera could have just been bouncing between Unions the entire time 8D
makine no ;A;[/QUOTE]
Ah, I see, that's certainly an interesting point as it ties "Player" definitely closer to both Skuld and Ephemera.
Of course, lol, Ephemera is apparently a bold little shit who's also not afraid to directly approach the Foretellers and probe them for information, so bouncing around between unions would definitely fit.
Well, so far Nomura's track record for happy endings with characters not named Sora hasn't been really high and in this particular case we already know the whole thing will end in a near-apocalypse at the end. <__<
Uh ohLeopardus-->Vulpes
Unicornis-->Anguis
Vulpes-->Unicornis
Anguis-->Ursus
Ursus-->Leopardus
I think becoming Unchained is just some sort of process, and maybe it could even be done on accident, but if you knew how, it would be easy to make someone Unchained.If Ephemera can actively influence something like that I'd wager he must be really powerful as it is apparently no easy feat.
Are "party" and "union" really interchangeable or could it also be a party of people who belong to no union at all or to different unions?
Remember that Daybreak Town/The Keyblade Graveyard are originally from a time before the worlds were split, so anything might have happened to the regions' nature once turned into a "world" of their own as a result of the War.But The Keyblade Graveyard isn't a sleeping world. So if that's the case, how could any of this be possible, then? Daybreak Town's not like Traverse Town, where that world is an anomaly and can exist in multiple places at once.
Unless Daybreak Town/The Keyblade Graveyard is like that, and we just don't know it yet?
