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.

[ She's read over the file in her hands enough times, she can safely say that she has it memorized.

Drift Compatibility is a tricky thing. They'd already established that people with history and bonds that are root-deep are ideal candidates for the pons, and this is why family members and life partners were more successful over randomly paired individuals who came up to Kodiak on their own.

Sometimes they get three or four pairs - other times, like with this particular batch, they are lucky enough that they get one.

She steps into her office to find Yancy Becket already there, blinks for a bit because she had thought that both brothers would be around. The way her husband and his co-instructors put it, where one boy went, you were sure to find the other. ]

Yancy, [ she puts a smile on her face and leaves the door slightly ajar, maybe Raleigh's just trailing behind ] I'm Dr. Caitlin Lightcap. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[ and that's raleigh's cute to come all but crashing through the door. he's a bit flushed and slightly winded, a sheepish smile on his face and his hair still wet from a shower. he'd gone for a run earlier to try and work off some of the nervous energy 'cause he's meeting caitlin lightcap. the caitlin lightcap, the inventor of the pons technology.

and then he ended up losing track of time. what a way to make a good impression, rals. ]

Shit, sorry. How late am I?

[ yancy, your brother is an embarrassment sometimes. ]

You too, Doctor Lightcap.

[If by sometimes, you mean all the time? He totally agrees.

Yancy rolls his eyes but it's loving, he promises. It's the eyeroll of someone who has lived with Raleigh for most of his life and has long since accepted all of his little quirks, even if he still hates how early Ralaigh wakes up and how he seems to take everyone with him.]

She beat you by about ten seconds, kid.

[ She's watching the byplay with a smile on her face, because its been barely a minute and already she likes these boys ( yes, she likes all the pilots she works with, but it bears saying that these boys are new favorites ).

She turns to Raleigh and offers her hand in greeting. ] It's alright, Raleigh [ she's a bit proud that she pronounces his name right, a bunch of the other staff had gotten it wrong and she'd looked at them in confusion before Sergio clarified ] come, sit.

[ She heads to her seat, opens a drawer and tosses out two bars of chocolate.

Yes, that is a conspiratorial smile. ] How are you boys doing today?
