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.

Officer Training

[coyotesolo]

[ Stacker gave the good news about the experimental jaeger that led to this being authorized, and he intended to get in on the ground floor.

Just studying? Try surrounded by books and laptop with so many internet tabs open it'll be a miracle to recover them if it ever crashes unexpectedly.

The Pentecost siblings have this.

Or, at least Stacker does.]

[royalairforce]

[ luna's got this, too. she's just got different methods of preparing for this, she's always been more of a doer than a thinker and sitting still for as long as it might take her to go through all the study material he deems relevant? not going to happen. instead, she comes back from the gym to the room they share ( bunk beds and all ), hoisting herself up onto the top bunk. ]

You're going to give me the cliff notes on all that later, won't you?

[coyotesolo]

[He tosses a small book up to her.]

At least read the Art of War. Then I'll consider it.

[He's not going to do all the hard work for you, Luna. Especially not when he intends to be part of the inaugural class. All of this is as much his project at this point as it Schoenfeld's.]

[royalairforce]

Already did. [ late at night while she couldn't sleep with a tiny torch underneath the duvet. it had reminded her of being a child, except the reading material had differed considerably from back then. she lifts her shoulders in a shrug, lips pulling into a grin that says what, surprised?.

he reads and thinks and works methodically. luna goes out and does things, she spars with their instructors and they end up recapitulating the most important points from class and then elaborating on them, she goes out for coffee with tendo choi — and then she comes back and bugs her brother about his cliff notes. ]

[coyotesolo]

[That warrants an eyeroll right there. He's not really really surprised. Luna, please. It's how she is. Chasing one thing after another, looking for a dragon to slay. Then again, they both try to do the improbable. For the Pentecost siblings, the end of the known world is something to challenge, fight.

He doesn't know what he'd do if he lost her.]

In that case, you don't need the notes in the first place.

[Not that he won't let her use them.]

[royalairforce]

[ they both try to do the improbable if not the impossible, fighting the en of the world with all that they have and a few tricks they'll make up along the way. it's just that their methods might differ slightly. out of the two of them, she's the more impulsive one, always has been.

( she could have died, fighting trespasser. she knows that. it was only tamsin's early warning paired with skill and a healthy dose of luck that had her avoid the giant claws coming her way. ) ]

Yeah, I do. Bet you picked up ten things I missed. [ and maybe she picked up on one thing he missed and they can work it out together. ]

[coyotesolo]

And you probably made up at least three we didn't cover. I think it evens out.

[While it doesn't run to his personal preferences, even he can't deny the advantage that just a little bit of impulsiveness and unpredictability can offer in the right moment. Unlike he sister, he doesn't think that every moment is the right moment.]

[royalairforce]

Teamwork. [ hey now. she doesn't think that every moment is right for impulsiveness and quick action, just most of them. she can see the value in thinking things through sometimes. her definition of sometimes is just much more narrow than his is.

it works out, though. in a way, they complement one another. ]
