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.

[ Sure, he keeps smiles and warmth under wraps around the recruits, their colleagues - but that's a choice, not a different person altogether ( though perhaps it's because Caitlin is privileged to know pretty much close to all of Sergio that she doesn't see the line that divides him as a ranger, the same one people view as a tyrant of an instructor, a military man born and bred, from the one who has her back, who knows just what she needs when she needs it. The man who is a son, a brother, a friend to all who have earned his respect ).

That he pushes the recruits this hard, so that only those who are really hell-bent on making it actually make it, is just another way that he shows he cares.

You don't send incapable fighters out into the war zone if you can help it.

Caitlin hooks a finger on the belt loop of his pants, an anchoring gesture ( okay, a flirtatious one too ) and quirks a brow at him: ]

The Beckets? [ In her mind, she recalls bits of information from their file: Becket, Yancy. Age: 21. Notations: Driven, goal-oriented. Shows promising athletic capability and proficiency. Noted as family bread-winner. Learning Type: Spatial/visual, kenetic. Becket, Raleigh. Age: 18. Notations: Recently graduated from { name withheld }. Transcript from high school indicates average but consistent grades. Subject is stong-willed and appears to have issues with authority structures, but nothing notably disruptive. Considerations: Works well with older brother. **Flagged for drift-compatibility pending further observation from Kodiak instructors. ]

[He can't help it, he looks straight down at where she's got her hand in his belt loop and then back up at her, like do you have time for where that's going to go?

And somehow, manages to keep the conversation going on the same topic.]

They've got each other's backs. And I overhead them telling someone they only signed up because of a dare.

[It's not about one of them and his glory, it's about both of them, sticking together and fighting.]

[ All she gives him back is a small smile as if to say maybe, the real question is do you. ]

A dare. Interesting.

[ She looks away, off into nowhere in particular, her mind going around what she knows and what he's said. She's smiling, pleased. She'd like to take a look at what goes on in the Beckets' heads. ] Well then. I guess I'll have to work my schedule around the hours when you give them hell.
