Talk:Jordan Hildebert/Archive

Some new Jordan Hildebert lore proposals! There will also eventually be revisions to Rumor 333.49 but that is not quite finished yet.

Origin

Jordan (J-series Operational Research, and Development Android) was originally developed to aid and manage the Spies' R&D program. Designed to coordinate research while detecting (and dispatching) the many moles sent to infiltrate the Spies from organizations like the FBI, ATF, and the FDA. Their sharp senses and good judgment also made them ideal for recruiting new agents, including Alexandria Rosales.

J-ORDAn's model was rendered obsolete with the Agency's technological advancements. In 19XX, they chose to leave the Spies rather than face decommissioning. J-ORDAn continued their mission of subversion in other contexts, including local politics.

J-ORDAn's origins have left them with an interesting quirk: they speak exclusively in the manner of an old-timey detective. Though modifications have been made to allow them to speak in different dialects, languages, and cadences, all attempts to disable the old-timey detective mode have failed. On one notable occasion, taping down the dialect button on their chassis resulted in J-ORDAn finishing any and all sentences with, "ya see?" for an entire month. Time in Politics Spies missions consumed most of J-ORDAn's time, but their introduction to Rosales—and therefore the power of union organizing—inspired them to try something new following their departure from the Agency, especially as their programming urged them to make use of their abilities regardless of the context.

They found their management skills and ability to detect federal agents incredibly useful in the Houston labor community, and J-ORDAn spent a great deal of time as an organizer for mutual aid projects, becoming a well known figure in city politics and taking on the last name "Hildebert" to disguise their synthetic nature. Their "human form"—a soft, rubberlike "skin" suit—was rudimentary at best, but most people chose to look the other way out of politeness, even when their camera would peek out through their open mouth.

Suspecting corruption within Houston's local government, J-ORDAn, as Jordan Hildebert, worked their way through a number of local government agencies, rooting out sources of dirty money and exposing them. Their actions at one point drew the attention of the Committee on Unamerican Activities, resulting in their being added to numerous watchlists. J-ORDAn was not deterred and continued their efforts, redefining Houston's political landscape from the ground up with a mixture of tenacity and charm.

J-ORDAn seems to inexplicably have worked in every aspect of public administration. When asked how they managed to serve in so many offices, some of them seemingly at the same time, they explained that the career moves seemed smart at the time and refused to answer follow-up questions.

The Great Return Eventually, J-ORDAn burned out on local politics, as many activists do. They were listless and without purpose, until the Spies reached back out to them. Decentral Command was in need of someone who could help keep moles out of their Blaseball team and help coordinate defensive plays in time for the Great Return. J-ORDAn took on the job, but decided to keep their human disguise out of fear of being barred or fined by the ILB.

Though they successfully hid their true nature, rumors of Hildebert possibly using performance enhancing technology to cheat spread after an incident involving a lost catchers mitt and a mechanical claw. Certainly the electronic screech of binary whenever Hildebert was coordinating for a fly-ball did not help dispel rumors.

The Great Reveal

In Season 8 the advent of the Unlimited Taco's Pitching Machine established stronger precedent for fully electronic players, allowing many of the ILB's less fleshy players to flaunt their abilities far more confidently. At the end of Season 8, J-ORDAn officially made their debut as an android, showing off the many stickers that have been applied to their chassis by your Son.

Items That May Be Banned From the ILB Thanks to J-ORDAn Hildebert J-ORDAn's model comes equipped with a variety of tools perfect for spywork. Many of these tools do not actually appear in the ILB rulebook. After numerous incidents, J-ORDAn and their hardware have been the subject of investigation for rulebreaking, making J-ORDAn the number-one player in the league for "Biggest Umpire Headache-Inducer." These items include but are not limited to:

• Inline skates
• A gun that shoots a ball but makes it look as if it's being thrown
• Laser pointers
• A handheld console equipped with TETRIS
• A police scanner
• A pilot light
• A brick pizza oven
• A manual pencil sharpener
• A copy of Bee Movie scrunched up into the shape of a blaseball

Rumors and Reports:

Jordan Hildebert/IF-1724.223

Following the debut of the Pitching Machine in Season XX, was often spotted curiously examining the Pitching Machine's Tlopps card. When asked, they stammered out a denial, but their embarrassed beeping, illuminated emotion indicators, and rapidly spinning cooling fans suggested they'd developed a crush on the Machine. J-ORDAn has not told the Machine of their feelings and the Spies have asked for their privacy to be respected, but one member of the Agency stated that they found this detail "too cute not to share."

Jordan Hildebert/IF-60.67 Jordan Hildebert once held up a team meeting for nearly 45 minutes because they did not feel like everyone was fully sold on the new practice schedule and wanted to maintain full consensus decision making. Just twenty minutes into the conversation, fellow Spies Teddy Holloway and Son Scotch were begging to be let out of the meeting, Karato Bean had fallen asleep, and Malik Romayne left to prepare snacks. Whether consensus was reached or whether everyone simply gave up is currently unknown.

NEW RUMOR:

Jordan Hildebert is a master of dialectics and political rhetoric, and they are very aware of this fact. They are well known for holding up meetings—whether those are team meetings, local political organization meetings, or deciding what to have for dinner—because they don't believe that the debate rhetoric is sound enough. In political meetings, they have a reputation for interrupting because proposed motions are not sufficiently anarchist for their tastes. They prefer talking about and demonstrating their knowledge of theory to actually acting, and have been known to put a stop to others' actions for arbitrary theoretical reasons.

In fact, Hildebert racked up the highest number of "Everyone Else - 1" votes in recorded history, forcing the Spies to implement a limitation on consensus blocks. Hildebert also attempted to block this measure, which backfired by making the case for block limitations stronger. The measure passed unanimously while Hildebert stepped out for a smoke break. Hildebert is now required to submit a defense of their block in writing, which must not include the word "theoretically," nor its synonyms at any point.
