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.

>>Defense Corps Jaeger Academy. //:
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. |

Gotta also be able to run a faster mile than that.
Sergio looks down at the stopwatch in his hand and then back at Chuck. It is fucking cold out, because they're in Alaska so what else do you expect and he's got the recruits running laps.]
Do it again.
no subject
he hates not doing well at things. he hates alaska and the cold that seems to creep into his bones and makes him miss australia despite the way he's come to hate sydney because of the memories it represents. he hates being called out on it, too.
sergio is a legend, though, and damn good at what he does and chuck wants to be a pilot more than anything else. he might hate the comment, but he clenches his jaw and curls his fingers into fists and wordlessly goes back to the start of the lane.
he'll do better, all right. ]
no subject
Have I ever told you about my great aunt, Hansen? She's seventy nine. Lost one of her legs to cancer. And she still runs a faster mile than you.
no subject
he runs his mouth a lot, fair enough, but when push comes to shove? he's not gonna let that stop him from becoming the best damn ranger the ppdc has ever seen. ]
no subject
[Sergio is beckoning him over after mile three. To be honest, Chuck has run a faster mile than just about everyone else out there today. Sergio himself ran a better one when he was Chuck's age but he'd probably be hard pressed to do the same now, since he's about twenty years older than the kid.]
What are you doing here?
no subject
sholders straight: ] Becoming a pilot.
no subject
[Don't think he hasn't noticed how you don't make friends with the others, Chuck. And Sergio's not the expert on Drift theory but he knows what to look for.]
no subject
[ chuck's pretty sure no one else is going to be able to keep up with him. he doesn't want anyone else in his head, either, if he can help it. ]
no subject
Your old man know you want to be his co-pilot?
no subject
and hell, what does he care whether you like him or not? what does he care whether anyone likes him? the point is to be a good pilot, not to be a likable human being. that doesn't matter. ]
