meme | welcome to kodiak island.
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. //:
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. |

( fair enough, in the end he and his co-pilot managed to save the day. and yeah, it was only a simulation, but still. this is the kind of guy supposed to watch her back in a jaeger at some point?
she's none too happy about that. )
so instead of making her way to the kwoon even though she loves the training classes best of all, she stops him in the corridor. ] The fuck is your problem, Kirk?
oops word vomited
of all the rangers in the field, he's the one who manages to have the highest compatibility with just about anyone who comes to train with him. jim kirk is a people person, first of all, and a ranger second - or maybe it's the other way around, that he's a born ranger and a people person because of it, because he knows that whichever is the guy that becomes his co-pilot is going to be his partner in life and death ( not like that ).
the simulation wasn't supposed to turn into something like that. spock, for all of his renowned composure, had begun chasing the rabbit much to his surprise, and it was up to jim to keep him back on track, to tell him that it's only the memory of his mother's death, of his hometown being wiped by a kaiju, and that he's safe and piloting a jaegar and he's going to kick ass when they get to it. something like that. anyway, the point is, he managed to save the day, but it's not something he wants to brag about. he's already told stacker and herc what happened, but in the end, it's not really his place to say anything.
of course, that just means that most people just ups and looks at him that he's the one who fucked up, since spock is the eternal golden boy, which is fine. jim is not about to tell people what he just saw, regardless the kind of jerk people think he is.
and chuck - well, she may be good and she may be beautiful and he may sometimes ( always ) hit on her, but he isn't even close to wanting to play nice to her right now. he's got a lot of things to think about other than her yapping her mouth. ]
A lot, actually. Are you offering to give a ranger a hand?
[ insert suggestive eyebrow waggling here.
jerk mode it is. ]
Just needs a bit of a more hands-on approach, if you know what I mean.

( when it comes to compatibility, though, she's not. not better, not compatible with most people. it doesn't matter, because her uncle scott's a fuck-up and she's going to be in a jaeger with her old man as soon as the mark v is finished. she's perfectly drift compatible with her father, regardless of the fact that they barely talk outside of training. )
max barks at kirk, once, and then decides to ignore chuck's anger and instead waddle over and push his head into kirk's legs like the affection-starved traitor that he is. she doesn't care about that, really. just like she doesn't give a damn whether it was spock or kirk who fucked up. they fucked up and kirk is the one she followed.
( she can never get a rise out of spock. at least with kirk, there's a common language of sorts, nonverbal though it might be. )
should have expected him to hit on her, he always does. she still rolls her eyes, derision thick in her tone and written over her features. ] You wish.
[ she's fifteen and not entirely immune to his charm and good looks, but he's also an entitled jerk and it's easy to focus on that rather than the way he looks at her and the knowledge ( overheard snippets of conversation ) that he'd be good in bed. she doesn't want that kind of information. not when he acts like it's perfectly okay that he acted in a way that, hadn't it been a simulation, might have fucked them all over. ]
You can't pull that kind of stunt, asshole.

[ he's always wanted a dog, but he knows he can't ever take care of one himself. he's not that kind of person.
and he'd never sleep with her, anyway, regardless of how much he hits on her. he doesn't have an age limit when it comes to flirting ( can't help it, okay ), but he only sleeps with people when it's legal for the both of them. he's made that clear with herc, at least, who gave him the regular 'she's my girl and don't you dare' look - who now only just rolls his eyes and tells him on a regular basis not to do stupid things that would make him want to punch jim in the face. fair enough. ]
Think I can. Survey says I'm good at it.
[ are you talking about jaegers, chuck? because he isn't. ]
no subject
He doesn't love you, he just loves the attention. [ sourly.
she'd be pissed off about that — has had an argument or two with her old man about being controlling and seriously, if she's old enough to pilot a jaeger and risk her life, shouldn't she be old enough to decide with whom - if anyone - she wants to have sex? and anyway, it's none of his damn business and what does he care?
but apparently he still cares and he still warns boys off. ]
You think you're so funny.
[ she was talking about jaegers, jerkface. ]
