Ok, so I was thinking about who the rest of the 13 seekers could be, and I thought that Riku possessed by Ansem from KH1 could be brought through time. But that isn't really the point of this topic. I was wondering why Riku didn't have yellow/golden eyes while he was possessed by Ansem. Could it have something to do with Ansem being a Heartless? I personally think that the story just wasn't thought of that far ahead. I don't think the yellow eyes & pointy ears became a factor until BBS or maybe KH2, because of Xemans, Saix, and Xigbar, but I don't know. I don't think the whole story was figured out at the time, some stuff seems to be thrown in as the story progesses, like time travel and such. So what is your opinion on why Riku didn't show the normal signs of being norted? Terra had his eyes, hair, ears, and voice changed instantly, but that was Xehanort diretly putting his heart into Terra, so that is probably why. Do you think this version of Riku will be a seeker? Or Riku Replica? Give me your opinion!

Maybe there could be multiple riku's from different timelines.

Well I think it would look wierd to just see a bunch of Rikus. If there is a Riku in the real Organization XIII, it would probably be from KH1, because Riku was gullible, and eager for power. He wanted to be strong, and Ansem could give him that power. After KH1, he learned from his mistakes, and started becoming resistant to darkness somewhere along the line.

I do not believe that there will be an alternate time line Riku in the line of the dark seekers because through timetine travel whatever happens happens once done you cannot change what has been done but it is curious to why Riku did not change like Terra did... maybe it's because it wasn't from Xehanort directly? (Master Xehanort) Like you said. It's a mystery to me, though it still seems that a part of Xehanort still resides with him so I don't know how that is going to play out even if he is resistant to it. With Riku Replica there was no intention of using him for a vessel not like how Xion was. 

 

 I can't say I am not curious to find who the other hooded members are. Guess we'll find out.

I think Nourma didn't think that far ahead in the storyline(he said he never imagined kingdom hearts to grow into what it is today) as yet which is why riku didn't have yellow eyes unless they changed that in the HD remix and he didn't tell anyone in the public......

I've been saying that!

I think it's because Riku's heart wasn't directly affected by Xehanort's heart. It was only affected through Ansem. You get what I'm saying. Being Norted happens when your heart merges with Xehanort's but Riku's heart and Ansem's were still separate entities. They were just in the same body and Ansem had control over that body because Riku's darkness was giving him power. I mean, Riku still had a part of Ansem in re:COM inside and his eyes weren't yellow/orange. I think it's because Riku's heart and Ansem's heart didn't merge.

It seems Nomura hadn't thought about the whole plot in KH1, so didn't put signs of being possessed. 

We could say it was a different way to possess as well. Riku opened his heart to darkness and Ansem started controlling him, and was able to even change his body to a form he wanted. Xehanort directly inserted it. It's a long shot, but it could explain it
