So, I've had this idea to do a Destiny Fanfic for some time. Nothing really long or involved and there's a few quest lines or hooks between Destiny and Destiny 2 that would do. Of course, to do that, I'd need to define characters.

Meet Lady Jordan. First of the new generation of Iron Lords, well respected competitor in the Iron Banner, and so on. She's gotten around. She was part of the failed offensive on the Moon before the start of Destiny 1, participated in the Hunt for Skolas, and spearheaded the efforts in the Siva Crisis.

Under the Armor, Jordan is a surprisingly contemplative young woman with coke bottle green eyes and chocolate brown hair. For what little it's worth, Jordan's of Caucasian American decent and was found by her Ghost in the Mojave Desert. Besides her accent (which itself is faint due to long exposure to the tower accent), the only vestige of this seems to be her love for spaghetti westerns and her set of hand cannons. Then again, that might just be a result of hanging out with so many Hunters.

Anyways, Jordan doesn't care for the 'Unassailable Wall' doctrine expounded so often by the Titan Order. It's too inflexible and defensive for her liking. Instead, she prefers more preemptive measures – mobile assaults that disrupt enemy plans before they can be set into motion mostly – and believes that instead of a wall, the Titan should be a Light-fueled wrecking ball.

Despite the obvious parallels to the Striker order Jordan is best known for her command of Solar Light. As Jordan's also not a Sunbraker, she doesn't use the Hammer of Sol. Instead, she ignites herself and sword in a vague approximation of a solar powered Arc Blade. Thanks to Shaxx and her use of the technique in the crucible, the technique is generally called the Flamberge despite Jordan and sword aficionados protesting that her broad-bladed Young Wolf's Howl does not possess an undulating blade.

While she's not the oldest, wisest, or most skilled Guaridan, the dramatic growth of the number of new Guardians turning up at the Tower in the last few years has lead Jordan to take up a mentor role. Working along side the younger generation of Guardians to help them along the Light's path and ensure they have a chance to forge their own legends instead of the death in some dark pit that claimed so many before them.

That out the way, let's talk about her armor.

Jordan wears the 'iconic domed helmet' I've always thoguht of as the traditional titan helmet, even if it wasn't common in either legendary equipment of the first game or remotely common in Destiny 2. For the details, I actually referenced the Helm of Innermost Light. My go to helmet when running Striker.

The chest piece is the Crest of Alpha Lupi, Additional elements originated from the URUS/Commando Tactical rig (abdomen pouches), and the Holdfast Type 2 Shaxx wears. Or at least the ideas and reference points originated there. I'm sure many of us felt the … thing on the Holdfast pretending to be a fur collar was a very very sad attempt by Bungie's molders.

On a quick tangent here, Bungie somehow managed to screw up the model of the Crest when they ported it over to Destiny 2. No, I'm not talking about how the colors have change to make it more 'blingy' with bright gold and silver detailing and a pearlescent base plate (the original was dull silver and copper green on a plain white plate). I'm talking about how, at least for the female, the chestplate has lost its unique shape. Where as the majority of the breastplates followed the body underneath it more or less, the Crest's didn't 'dip' in towards the neck. In the female at least, this resulted in the top of the chest plate sitting a fair distance from the collar bone.

Moving on. The arms take the the basic design coming from the Commando series (left bracer and undersuit additions) and add the wolf-head pauldrons from the Days of Iron outfit.

Jordan's mark is a mix of ideas from several marks in-game marks. The idea here is that as she actually wears a set of revolvers, her mark's been moved off the right hip to cover her rear and groin (why no she doesn't have body image issues. What are you talking about). The front flap is taken from the ornamented Day's of Iron Mark, the rear is split into two panels, each decorated with detailed wolf heads facing away from one another. A sash sits over these panels and wraps around her hips before being mostly covered by the utility belt that features a one of those over-sized cowboy belt buckles that features the Iron Lord's Unbent Tree sigil.

Finally the legs are pretty standard fare with the big exception being the wolf head knee guards. Something to note here is that while the Days of Iron's ornamental version does have wolf heads over the knee, they aren't shaped like this. The idea here is that the ears double as spikes that see use when Jordan does a sprinting knee attack.
