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.

>>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.

[Oh come on, Becket if he was going to yell at you, he'd do in the hallway for everyone to hear.

He takes the time to close the door behind him, and gestures for Raleigh to sit if he'd like.]

Yesterday, in the Kwoon. What do you think that was?

[ raleigh sits and runs through a list of words he might use to describe yesterday. easy? fun? entertaining? no, those probably wouldn't work. and he's kind of confused because this sounds a little like a lead-up to getting chewed out, but he's pretty sure that would've happened already if it was. ]

It was... [ come on, becket, think. ] Natural? I don't know. It just came easy, so Yance and I pushed it.

[Sergio nods slightly, and stands behind his desk, arms crossed over his chest. He knows he's giving the kid a bit of a panic attack but what's the fun in being an officer if you can't torture the recruits a little?]

More than what you were instructed to do. So tell me, where you competing with each other or just having some fun?

[ sergio, you suck. ]

It was a little bit of both. [ it's said with a small shrug. it's always a little bit of both with them. ] It's fun to egg each other on, and push each other, you know?

[ he actually doesn't know if d'onofrio would get that. he kind of seems like a hardass most of the time and he's really kind of intimidating. but raleigh figures that if he's drift compatible with and married to doctor lightcap, he's gotta have some hidden soft side. right? ]

[Sergio does have a soft side. For Caitlin.

D'onofrio nods again and reaches half behind himself to grab a file off the desk. All of the theories about the Drift and Drift compatibility go over his head sometimes. No one ever sat him down and made him take a thousand personality and neuro tests and then make him try and hit Caitlin with a stick. And if they'd tried, he would have had some choice words for them.

Clearly, he was compatible with her. Clearly, he trusted her. That'd be a question of what came first: the chicken or the egg. But this isn't about him.]

I had a talk with Pentecost last night about the two of you.

[ oh no. this is worse than getting chewed out. this is the part where he and yancy get kicked out, isn't it? he's seen it with other cadets that didn't do the exercises right ( that couldn't do the exercises right, but what's the difference, really ) and that's what going to happen now. he and yancy just fucked up their chances of being pilots and this is ranger d'onofrio's way of telling him that he needs to pack his bags and crawl back to anchorage with his tail between his legs.

raleigh doesn't whimper, but it's a near thing. ]

You did?

[ he looks a little deer in the headlights as he asks that, but his voice is surprisingly steady. ]

[Yeah, as if Raleigh Becket needed another reason to come off as a labrador puppy.]

I told him that if he didn't pass you and your brother on to the pons training, then he would be making the biggest mistake of his career.

[ for a moment his expression doesn't change. he's too busy rolling that sentence over and over in his head to emote. and then... then a smile slowly crawls across his face and he's suddenly grinning as bright as the sun. ]

Really? [ way to sound eager there, raleigh. ] I mean, thank you, sir. It's really great to hear that.

[Seriously, just like a puppy.]

Really. Don't thank me just yet-- the next part's the hardest but in my opinion, and don't go spreading this arm, you two are the only ones with an actual shot at it this round.

[ like a bouncy puppy who is having trouble keeping still. ]

I think we can handle it, sir.

[You better not fucking try to hug him.]

You better. I hate being wrong in front of Pentecost.

[ no, there will be no hugging ranger hardass. but he's going to hug the shit out of yancy later. ]

You should put money on it, sir. Yance and I got this.
