The Pan Pacific Defense Corps is an organization set up to battle the Kaiju threat through the use of Jaegers. Founded in 2014, the Corps represents an international alliance of 21 nations across the Pacific Rim, bound together by the shared goal of containing, combating and eliminating the Kaiju threat and save humanity from extinction.

In 2014, after the first Kaiju attack on San Francisco, the Pan Pacific Defense Corps was created with the purpose of defending the various countries surrounding the Pacific Ocean that would be under attack from the Kaiju. Soon after, the headquarters of the Pan Pacific Defense Corps was established in Hong Kong, China, this being the first Shatterdome. After Dr. Jasper Schoenfeld pitched the idea of creating giant mechs to battle the kaiju, the Corps were formed to fund the Jaeger Program.









>>Greetings, trainee.
>>Welcome to the Pan Pacific
>>Defense Corps Jaeger Academy. //:



SO, YOU WANT TO PILOT A JAEGER. LET'S SEE IF YOU'RE UP TO SNUFF.


Welcome to Kodiak Island. For the next 24 weeks you'll have the chance to prove that you've got what it takes to be among the few who can pilot a Jaeger. We need capable pilots, so if you don't think you can hack it, better drop out now. The course will follow the following format, so listen up, you have:

1) OFFICER TRAINING:
You will be studying tactics, some engineering, basic kaiju science, etc. Study good and study hard and if you're lucky enough to make the cut, we'll be shipping your sorry asses on to —

2) PONS TRAINING:
There is a mock-pod simulator where you will learn how to drift with your chosen partner. Can't find a partner? Too bad. You might have the physical skills and the brains to go with it, but if you can't bring yourself to work with another human being, then what the hell are you doing here.

3) JAEGER TRAINING:
Alright, you've made it. Report to the test range and get your asses in a Jaeger.



INSTRUCTIONS →
1. Post with your character/canon/preferences.
   (Mod Note: Pacific Rim OCs are very much welcome, if not encouraged.)
2. Tag others. Tag a LOT.
3. Have FUN or we'll feed you to the kaiju.

[ jim kirk is an amazing pilot, excuse you. full stop.

of all the rangers in the field, he's the one who manages to have the highest compatibility with just about anyone who comes to train with him. jim kirk is a people person, first of all, and a ranger second - or maybe it's the other way around, that he's a born ranger and a people person because of it, because he knows that whichever is the guy that becomes his co-pilot is going to be his partner in life and death ( not like that ).

the simulation wasn't supposed to turn into something like that. spock, for all of his renowned composure, had begun chasing the rabbit much to his surprise, and it was up to jim to keep him back on track, to tell him that it's only the memory of his mother's death, of his hometown being wiped by a kaiju, and that he's safe and piloting a jaegar and he's going to kick ass when they get to it. something like that. anyway, the point is, he managed to save the day, but it's not something he wants to brag about. he's already told stacker and herc what happened, but in the end, it's not really his place to say anything.

of course, that just means that most people just ups and looks at him that he's the one who fucked up, since spock is the eternal golden boy, which is fine. jim is not about to tell people what he just saw, regardless the kind of jerk people think he is.

and chuck - well, she may be good and she may be beautiful and he may sometimes ( always ) hit on her, but he isn't even close to wanting to play nice to her right now. he's got a lot of things to think about other than her yapping her mouth.
]

A lot, actually. Are you offering to give a ranger a hand?

[ insert suggestive eyebrow waggling here.

jerk mode it is.
]

Just needs a bit of a more hands-on approach, if you know what I mean.

[ jim kirk's a good pilot and that's that. chuck's better — and she'd be all too happy to prove it, too.

( when it comes to compatibility, though, she's not. not better, not compatible with most people. it doesn't matter, because her uncle scott's a fuck-up and she's going to be in a jaeger with her old man as soon as the mark v is finished. she's perfectly drift compatible with her father, regardless of the fact that they barely talk outside of training. )

max barks at kirk, once, and then decides to ignore chuck's anger and instead waddle over and push his head into kirk's legs like the affection-starved traitor that he is. she doesn't care about that, really. just like she doesn't give a damn whether it was spock or kirk who fucked up. they fucked up and kirk is the one she followed.

( she can never get a rise out of spock. at least with kirk, there's a common language of sorts, nonverbal though it might be. )

should have expected him to hit on her, he always does. she still rolls her eyes, derision thick in her tone and written over her features.
] You wish.

[ she's fifteen and not entirely immune to his charm and good looks, but he's also an entitled jerk and it's easy to focus on that rather than the way he looks at her and the knowledge ( overheard snippets of conversation ) that he'd be good in bed. she doesn't want that kind of information. not when he acts like it's perfectly okay that he acted in a way that, hadn't it been a simulation, might have fucked them all over. ]

You can't pull that kind of stunt, asshole.

[ and jim doesn't necessarily have access to the psych evals because he's the favorite golden boy - it's more like, he ... snooped. sort of. maybe he hacked in using stacker's account that has access to pretty much everything ever, and maybe tendo was the middle man that smiled at him as he passed him by in the mess hall, but this is really not the point.

the point is that he's seen the evals and wow, if you think that jim didn't throw a silent bitch fit at the thought of piloting with spock then you are wrong, sir. the problem is - he knows he's compatible with spock. the training exercises they've done together proved that much. he can talk all he wants - in his movements and in real life - and spock just responds in kind, like he knows exactly how to talk jim down with only a twitch of his eyebrow. the other problem is that they are opposites, and jim may not dislike spock as much as other people think, but he's still a long way from actually liking the guy.

still, he wants to pilot the enterprise - it's been his lifelong goal since the jaeger was still in construction, and now that she's ready to be tried and tested he's just all too willing to do just about anything to get his hands on her.

( yes, it's a her, don't you fight him on that. )

he arrives at the hangar bay promptly, greeting spock with a a clap to his shoulder and a shit-eating grin on his face.
]

So you're my co-pilot, Spock? This is gonna be fun.

[ She mostly sticks to training recruits. (You try being employed in some hush-hush Russian prototypes, getting your partner killed and unable to solo-pilot a jaeger and see if you don't come out of it with neural scarring.) ]

[ He's sitting up on the roof of the main building going through some new readings shoved his way by the instructors. Tendo hadn't made it past the first cut (saw that one coming easy enough), but instead of getting shipped out on the first bus home as he'd half-expected, he'd been informed that he was to report to the lecture on Jaeger Deployment and Lightcap's class on managing the engagement of the neural bridge.

Now he's up on the roof going through a pack of Lucky Strike reds, reading all about how the PPDC made it possible for two human brains to interface with a machine. ]

Hey, boy. [ jim opts to ignore her and immediately kneels for max, laughing quietly as he brings the charming boy to his face to pepper him affectionate kisses that he knows the dog just loves, partly because he doesn't exactly have any treats with him right now. ] Who do you love, Max? You love me, right? You love me, of course you do.

[ he's always wanted a dog, but he knows he can't ever take care of one himself. he's not that kind of person.

and he'd never sleep with her, anyway, regardless of how much he hits on her. he doesn't have an age limit when it comes to flirting ( can't help it, okay ), but he only sleeps with people when it's legal for the both of them. he's made that clear with herc, at least, who gave him the regular 'she's my girl and don't you dare' look - who now only just rolls his eyes and tells him on a regular basis not to do stupid things that would make him want to punch jim in the face. fair enough.
]

Think I can. Survey says I'm good at it.

[ are you talking about jaegers, chuck? because he isn't. ]
harangue: (( 012. ))

[ everyone says you have to be able to trust your co-pilot, that without an instinctive and intrinsic trust you can't drift. this is a little worrying. not that chuck will ever admit to being worried about this whole thing. but he knows that if he can't drift with his old man, the man he has so much anger and mixed feelings towards, that he's pretty much shit outta luck.

it's not like he'll be dismissed from the ppdc if he fails pons training. chuck's learned enough about jaegers and how they work from lucky seven's mechanics that he could easily go into j-tech if he wanted to. the problem is, he really doesn't want to. what he wants--what he needs, what the itch under his skin screams at him is to be in a jaeger. to be out there, on the front lines, fighting and killing the things that took angela hansen from the world. if he washes out now...

well. that doesn't really bear thinking about until it happens.

but chuck's got a right to be slightly concerned (slightly) about the first drift test tomorrow. his future aside, it hasn't been that long since lucky seven took a beating and his dad fell so horribly out of the drift with uncle scott. who knows if herc will even be able to drift right after being injured and who knows what else happened there?

but that's not a good question. he has to be able to. and chuck has to know he's able to. which is why he's knocking on his dad's door, angry frown in place. it's not exactly late, 2200, but it's late enough that he should be in so chuck can make sure that he's not going to fuck anything up tomorrow. ]

[ marisol is a little bit tired, to say the least. the mark-2 jaegers starting to roll out and even though she's technically assigned to maintenance on one of the mark-1 jaegers, there's a lot of shit to be done and a lot of shuffling going around in the short-term to make sure said shit does get done. between that and wrangling two fourteen year old, starry-eyed jaeger fanatics, she's done enough to deserve a bit of a break. or so she tells herself as she rubs ineffectively at the grease staining her coveralls.

which brings her up to to the roof of the academy (want to avoid people stationed on the proving grounds? go to the other half of the pddc's property) for a smoke. which would really be a much better thing if her lighter would fucking work. ]

[ it's only because chuck loves max and likes seeing him so obviously pleased that she doesn't order him back. and maybe she can't quite hate jim kirk because he might be a jerk, but he's good to her dog. ( she's pretty sure people say the same thing about her: she's a jerk but at least she treats her dog well. that's because it's easy to love max, it's easy to take care of him. max is her best friend and so much easier than people. ) ]

He doesn't love you, he just loves the attention. [ sourly.

she'd be pissed off about that — has had an argument or two with her old man about being controlling and seriously, if she's old enough to pilot a jaeger and risk her life, shouldn't she be old enough to decide with whom - if anyone - she wants to have sex? and anyway, it's none of his damn business and what does he care?

but apparently he still cares and he still warns boys off.

[ while raleigh understands the need to be a well-rounded fighter, part of him is kind of wishing they were still working with the hanbō. he's good with the hanbō, and switching from having one long staff to two shorter sticks is going to take a little getting used to. but get used to it he will.

as the sounds of sticks hitting sticks fill the air, he smiles just a little as he moves with yancy, right stick meeting his brother's with a small crack. okay, so maybe there is something to be said for an exercise that makes them move simultaneously with eventual speed. though he doubts that playing how fast can we go until one of us trips the other up is what the instructors want them to do. ]

[ he doesn't laugh, though it's a close thing. instead, his smile widens into a shit-eating grin as he matches yancy blow for blow. it's not quite difficult yet--he's been moving and working with yancy for as long as he can remember, after all. but he can see how it could very easily get so soon, what with the moving in a circle while trying to keep the movements going.

but he can handle the new speed yancy's set. and after a moment, he cocks his head to the side as he pushes things a little faster. think you can keep up, old man? ]

[ she's a single mother--anyone under the age of thirty she ends up calling kid. which is a little weird considering she's only thirty-five herself. she doesn't mean anything bad by it, though. ]

Thanks.

So you're gonna be one of our newest J-techs, huh? You aiming for LOCCENT or somewhere else?
