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.

Cool.

[ She grins. People who follow their passions are people to be admired. ]

You're not bad at the combat part, you know. It's good to have pilots who know more than what we're given at the Academy. It's kind if why I've been taking more biology classes. [ It wasn't a backup plan. It was an extension of her education. ]

"Not bad" doesn't take down the kaiju.

[ He's not looking at her when he says it, but his tone makes it clear he's trying to get his point across. Find someone else. Someone better. There's got to be plenty of pilots out there who'd be more than happy to partner with her.

When he looks back, he's got one eyebrow raised. ]

And why you sneak into unauthorized areas while we work on unstable machinery, right?

[ Or maybe she's just nuts. Does she even remember that? ]

[clearasil]

[ She is most likely a little nuts. ]

I don't remember that. [ Natalie scowls, folding her arms tightly across her chest. Of course she remembers, but she doesn't quite remember Leo when she was eventually spotted and had to haul ass out of there.

So, she's curious. ]

[commandertoolbelt]

What, did you block the explosion from your mind?

[ He doesn't believe it for a second. No one just forgets a jaeger exploding, especially if they're in the area when it happens. That's downright memorable if anything ever is.

Whatever. With a roll of his eyes, Leo shrugs and holds his hands out. ]

But okay. You want to pretend that wasn't you sneaking up behind me, it wasn't you.
