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.

It is pretty amazing, isn't it? A lot of it is adapted from technology that was being developed for prosthesis, and some BCI tech they were developing for planes.

[ while marisol's never quite had the brain for the biology aspect of it, she did piece together and build neuroprosthetics for a while before joining up with the PPDC. so she knows enough about the whole process to understand just how, heh, mind-blowing it is. ]

Tell you what, you got a free day soon? [ she keeps going before he can answer, talking around her cigarette for a moment. ] Most of the Mark-1s are in Hong Kong or Lima right now, but we've got a half-built Russian Mark-2 on the Proving grounds that'll be heading out to Vladivostok in December. You want to see what being a J-tech mechanic's about? I'll show you around on my lunch break.

[ better to give him a peek at what he could be getting himself into than let him get pushed in one direction and end up regretting it, she figures. ]

[ Is Tendo Choi interested? Hell, yeah he is interested.

He takes a drag of his stick again, flicks the ash. A fresh batch of jaegers for Russia. He's trying not to vibrate with excitement just yet. ]

Tomorrow, after the 3PM lecture. Where do I report, uh, Miss...?
