+===Usage===
+In 2552, [[Catherine-B320]] of [[NOBLE Team]] wore the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons. Four other members of NOBLE Team wore the FJ/PARA knee guards: [[Carter-A259]], [[Jun-A266]], [[Emile-A239]], and [[Thom-A293]].{{Ref/Game|HR}}{{Ref/Generic|[[Deliver Hope]]}} After the [[Human-Covenant War]], the knee guards of [[NOBLE-class Mjolnir|NOBLE-]], [[VIGILANT-class Mjolnir|VIGILANT-]], and [[WRATH-class Mjolnir|WRATH-classes]] Mjolnir featured physical architecture similar to FJ/PARA knee guards due to the armors being recreations of the customized armors which belonged to the Spartan-IIIs from NOBLE Team.{{Ref/Game|Id=noble|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=NOBLE - In-game model}}{{Ref/Game|Id=vigilant|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=VIGILANT - In-game model}}{{Ref/Game|Id=wrath|Game=H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=WRATH - In-game model}}{{Ref/Site|URL=https://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/community/blog-posts/canon-fodder-noble-intentions|Site=Halo Waypoint|Page=Noble Intentions|D=31|M=7|Y=2021}} Similarly, the shoulder pauldron of [[INTRUDER-class Mjolnir]] also resembled the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldrons of Kat-B320's armor.{{Ref/Game|Id=intruder|H5G|Armor customization (Halo 5: Guardians)|Armor customization|Detail=INTRUDER - In-game model}}

-==Trivia==
+==Production notes==
-*The current model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was titled as the Mark V[B] shoulder in the [[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]. The Beta's FJ/PARA shoulders became the UA/Multi-threat shoulders in the final game.<ref>[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4WD0RK578PY '''YouTube''': ''Halo: Reach - The Armory Montage'']</ref><ref>[http://www.spawn.com/news/news6.aspx?id=13704 '''SPAWN.COM''': ''HALO: REACH SERIES 2 ANNOUNCED'']</ref>
+*"FJ" is likely an abbreviation of ''[[Wikipedia:Fallschirmjäger|Fallschirmjäger]]'', the German word for "paratrooper".
-*[[Catherine-B320]]'s FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron pictured in a cover art image for ''Game Informer'' magazine started a recurring joke among the fan community as the shoulder can be seen resembling a face. This "character" was jokingly dubbed "Oonsk" as a humorous pronunciation of the "UNSC" labeled to the shoulder.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=28577 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''The Birth of an Icon'']</ref> The character was later acknowledged by [[Bungie]] in their [[Bungie Weekly Update|weekly updates]],<ref>[http://www.bungie.net/News/content.aspx?type=topnews&link=BWU_012210 '''Bungie.net''': ''Bungie Weekly Update: 01.22.10'']</ref> and was included in a painting created by [[Frank O'Connor]].<ref>[http://forums.bungie.org/halo/archive32.pl?read=963223 '''halo.bungie.org''': ''Re: kjfsklg;'']</ref> The painting was later auctioned off by IGN as a part of a charity event.<ref>[http://halo.bungie.org/news.html?item=28772 '''IGN''': ''IGN for Haiti - Oonsk Sells Big'']</ref>
+*During the ''[[Halo: Reach Multiplayer Beta]]'', the final model for the FJ/PARA shoulder pauldron was designated as the [[B-class Mjolnir|Mark V[B]]]. The FJ/PARA shoulders from the ''Beta'' then became the [[Armor accessories/UA|UA/Multi-threat shoulder pauldrons]] in the final game.
-*The knee guards are very similar to the knee guards on the [[ODST Ballistic Battle Armor]] in Halo 3.
+*It is possible that the FJ/PARA knee guards were intended to be the default in-game knee guards instead of a variant. Prior to the game's finalization, what would become the FJ/PARA knee guards were present on [[SPARTAN-B312]], representing the character wearing basic armor prior to the player's customization. Even after being given fully default armor, most videos and images showed the SPARTAN wearing FJ/PARA kneeguards with otherwise fully default armor; the Xbox Avatar of Noble Six also still has FJ/PARA knee guards.
-*The shoulder pauldrons share a similar geometry to the [[Health Packs]] encountered throughout the Halo series.

-*The knee guards are unique as the only set of knee guards that are colored according to the player's secondary armor color.
-*The FJ/PARA knee guards appear to be popular among the members of Noble Team, not counting Noble 6, four members of Noble Team have been known to use this, [[Carter]], [[Jun]], [[Emile]], and [[Thom]]. The only exceptions to this are [[Jorge]] and [[Catherine-B320|Kat]], who wear MJOLNIR Mark IV[G] and default knee guards respectively.
-*It is possible that the FJ/PARA knees were intended to be the default option instead of a variant, but for unknown reasons, this situation was reversed. Prior to the game's finalization, what would become the FJ/PARA knee guards were present on Noble Six, representing the character wearing basic armor prior to to the player's customization. The majority of videos and photos of Six after he was turned fully default also had him wearing the PARA knees, including his Xbox Avatar armor, which is fully default and steel, but has PARA knees.
