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.

Resident kaiju fanboy?

[She repeats that with a raise eyebrow because what? How could you-- no why would you ever fanboy over the kaiju? Personal hatred of them aside, for killing her brother, that's still pretty weird.]

I'm not sure I actually want to know.

[ He gives her a slow nod and mouths: FAN BOI.

Because some people are just weird, that's why. But Tendo's pretty cool with the resident kaijuphile, weirdness and all. Everyone views the world a different way. Some in more unconventional ways compared to others. ]
Drop by K-Science one of these days and look for Newt Geiszler. Can't miss him: glasses, a little bit mad-scienty-looking, tats on his forearms. [ Of Kaiju. Huh. Might have to give the doc a head's up not to brag about his Knifehead tat too much. ]

He's a little [ what was that word ] enthusiastic, about his job. But you'll learn a lot more about the kaiju form listening to him than you will in that textbook.
