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.

[ooc] disregard my previous comment, sorry! geek bonding, maybe?

[cleverlapdog]

[ooc] Ah! Its fine. So geek bonding in officer training?

[cerveau]

[ooc] :D depends! is q a kaiju enthusiast or a jaegerphile? maybe we should find out!

[cleverlapdog]

[ooc] pretty sure he'd be more of a jaegerphile, with a little secret kaiju groupie on the side. c:

1 - kaiju studies, go !

[kepthishat]

[Frankly? Glenn feels sick.

This is a little more intense than he figured and hands-on training really did mean hands-on. It's why he makes a face, almost retches as the guts get spilled onto the table. Fine examples of weaknesses, sure but....

If his hands weren't already covered in kaiju blood, he'd cover his mouth. Looking over to his tablemate, he pulls a face, looks a little pale.] Wow, you're uh.. Really into this, huh?

[cleverlapdog]

[ Q scoops up some of the kaiju guts, bringing them closer. Kaiju studies were one of his favorite classes, he wouldn't say that though. Secret kaiju groupie at heart and probably wouldn't hear the end of it from some of the other students.]

Definitely... [He turns to look at his tablemate and seeing that it seems he can't stomach that well.] You're running a bit on the pale end, mate. [makes a circular motion in front of his own face with a small smile.]

[kepthishat]

[His cheeks puff out as he gags, biting the sound down as a cough that twists his stomach, makes the nausea even worse. Seeing what the other's doing doesn't make him that enthusiastic on things, but he manages to pull a dry look for the comment, lips twisting.]

Ha, that. That's funny. [He mutters a little comment under his breath ("ass") as he goes back to examining the remains, head turning away so that he can take in a breath at least.] How can you get so into this? It doesn't even smell like anything I know.

[cleverlapdog]

[He would have rubbed his back if he didn't have kaiju blood on his hands, so instead keeps a soft expression as he reaches for tools to cut these bad boys open.

It'll take him awhile to get used to the smell. Everyone does.]

I enjoy hands-on type of activities. [He wiggles his fingers.] And you'll eventually be able to stomach the smell, probably should invest in a respirator if you don't.

[kepthishat]

I should've thought about that... [He's gutted chickens and squirrels before (thanks to a "friend" back home) but oh, this? This is way worse. Coughing into an arm, Glenn gives a nod, tries to sober up enough so he can watch the other at work.] Ugh, hands-on activities? Get out of here.

[Annnd turning away again once there's that squick sound for the thing being opened.] Aww, come on-!

[cleverlapdog]

I have an extra, that i could bring next session for you. If you'd like, of course.
[He cuts into one of the smaller kaiju organs, hoping nothing decides to spew in his face... Safe from Kaiju blood this time! He prods at it before moving onto the next.]

You should see me with a keyboard, I don't think anyone here could even come close. So what brings you here, it's become quite evident you're unable to stomach this. [Q wouldn't be surprised if he vomits everywhere or passes out or both. Most likely both at this rate. Pretty sure he'd be quite amused with any of the outcomes, as he cuts into one of the bigger organs.]

[kepthishat]

N-Not soon enough, but I appreciate the thought. [A hiccup this time as he shakes his head, eyes closed at the sight, the smell, the.. everything. At least the other guy's talking about something not Kaiju guts, so he's appreciative of that. He turns slightly, looks more at his deskmate than the mess.]

Seriously? What the heck are you doing here? [Mouth to his arm, he stomachs whatever's from breakfast.] I'm trying to become a pilot, make things better.

... Don't think I'm gonna get far at this rate.

[cleverlapdog]

If you say so. [Q makes an effort to rub the other's back with his forearm, hoping not to get kaiju blood on him. Only a matter of time before he pukes.]

I have an interest in Kaiju so i took the course, if you're around long enough, I'm sure you'll hear the rumors or nicknames about me. Which i won't address here seeing as other students may be listening in. [He gives a head tilt and that smile returns.]

Pretty sure the fighting will keep you busy on trying to stay alive then a looking out for kaiju guts. I look forward to ordering you around if you make it as a pilot seeing as I'm here to get into mission control.

[kepthishat]

[He waves an elbow in turn, trying to get the other off of him because that's not helping at all THANK YOU.]

The nick- 'kaiju geek' is you? [A little snort as he pulls a face for the idea. Man, he should have known that out of all the people he'd get paired with, it'd be the guy most enthusiastic about them, from what he's heard. A slow breath in and he shakes his head, makes the attempt to sober up.] Hah, sure. I'd totally look forward to being bossed around.

Better than this- ugh.

[cleverlapdog]

[He gets the message and stops. It was worth a shot.]

Guess you have heard of them, word sure does travel. In any case, 'Kaiju geek' at your service. [He makes quotation marks with his fingers. Pretty sure those nicknames are going to follow him even after he graduates.]

Maybe you should go get some fresh air? [He points to the door, also makes note to bring this moment up when he's a pilot and joke about it before a fight. Wonder who his co-pilot will be... hmm he'll find out eventually.]

[kepthishat]

[And again, Glenn can't help shaking his head. He'd be really amused if he wasn't nauseous out of his mind, let's be honest. Instead he remains pale despite the way the corners of his lips tug up.] Great. I'll remember that the next time I have to dissect one of these things.

Fresh- y-yeah, maybe. You gonna be okay? I mean heck man, I don't wanna come back and find you've blown up the whole place...

[cleverlapdog]

Don't worry, everything will still be as you left it. Nothing and no one is going to be blown up... at least not today anyway. [He motioned with his hand that he could go, turning back to his work with a grin.]

Go get the very-much needed fresh air before you vomit on our grade and then you'll most definitely have to come back to make up for it, sooner than you'd like.

[kepthishat]

- Dude, no! [A look before he heaves again at the thought (barfing on their project? Come on!). Turning on his heel, he moves to rush out the door. The sounds outside in the courtyard aren't pretty. Neither are the screams of whoever comes upon him without meaning to.

Glenn comes back in, looking a little paler but at least not as nauseous.]

[cleverlapdog]

[He stands up, walks to the corner of the room and grabs a water bottle from the pile, its not the first time students have thrown up here. He makes his way back to their table when glenn makes it back into the room. He leaves the bottle on his side of the table.]

Scar anybody outside? Pretty sure i heard some screaming...You might wanna down that water bottle before you end up running out again. [He motions to the bottle]

[kepthishat]

[Eying the bottle heavily before taking it, he works at the cap, leering over at the other as he speaks.] Ugh. Way to rub it in, you know.

[A pause so he can wipe his mouth again, be sure of himself before he takes a sip of the water, rinsing it around with a sour look on his face. He swallows.]

I'm never gonna get over this.

[cleverlapdog]

[ He places his elbow on the desk, head in hand, definitely not going to let glenn forget this. It's too amusing to not to.]

There's still sometime before class ends, you sure you can make it through it without throwing up again? [ turns to look at the clock before returning his gaze back to him]
