[@King Kindred] Honestly, that's the kind of convoluted storyline i was hoping to avoid. Primarily because the entire Ansem story, i feel, is one best avoided, because:

1) It's needlessly confusing
2) It was constantly retconned to try and make it make more sense, but only served to make even less sense
3) It's just not that interesting to begin with.

I was probably gonna make Am and Karre Genomes, whereas Am has accepted her role as Angel of Death (Essentially translating from FFIX to this, an Angel of Death is an artificial Nobody that as had a Heart transplanted into it.) Karre is the one raging against Garlands attempts to sacrifice other worlds to save his already dead one. Both of them desperately trying to convince the other to join their side.

The twist that Xehanort stole  Ansem's work and identity was/is servicable; something I wouldn't mind allowing to play out if only for the sake of not changing too much. After KHII (chronologically) though I'm meh about it because that's where everything really got convoluted.
