Based off the Movie Pacific Rim
Set in the time of 2034 and saying The Bridge was destroyed by the blast from Gypsy Danger but was reopened so we continue fighting the Kaijus. The blast did stop them from coming for a while and set back their category levels, but they are as relentless as before. We fight still using the Jaegers, but there are two different kinds now: Drift and Single models. The new single models alow for smaller, faster, and more maneuverability. The cons are they are less durable and have less power. Most times the are used for recovery missions and escorts through dangerous zones or paired with Drifts. The Kaijus, as said before, are coming a lot slower only 10 in the past year.
We haven't been perfectly safe in our defenses and have had some close calls, but in the year since they started coming again we haven't lost a singel Jaeger. Cities have been damaged and Jaegers have been pretty beat up, but we have always come out on top so far.
Here is how missions are going to work for the Jaeger Program. When we receive a reading of a kaiju then, depending on how many and how big, we will choose the most qualified Jaeger or Jaegers. Your qualification will be determined on how many Kaiju you have taken out, as well as how much damage to a city you have caused. If a fight is brought to a city that will count against you as well as how much damage you cause there. The more fights you win at sea the better your ratings will be.
With there being two models of Jaegers there are also two types giving you three choices: Amphibious Drift or Single, Air single. There can't be Drift air models because ther are simply to big to fly, and we can't have flying robots the size of skyscrapers. Deal with it.
The location of the Rift is now too deep for us to read, but we have a good guess by charting the paths from where the kaiju have come. The searches of the areas have come back negative so far which means we are just shooting in the dark right now.
When you first appear in the RP you will be asked to take a test based on your fighting skills. After your are chosen compatible for either drift or single Jaeger's you will do a simulation of 5 Kaiju fights. You must win at least four out of five to become a Jaeger pilot. If you are deemed worthy then you will recieve your own Jaeger along with your drift partner if you are chosen compatible. Jaeger's are chosen from all around the world and stationed in the Hong Kong Shatterdome so you can be sure that you will be matched with the best Jaeger for you.
(I advise those who will be assigned Drift Partners, that you get comfortable doing collaborations. I reccomend using titanpad.com for lengthy posts such as fighting, where both will need to be present, as it can drag on for a long time if done post by post. Regular interactions can be done within the IC easily of course.)
Do not be afraid of the test. The only way to fail is if you try your best to fail.
To apply for recruitment you need to simply give the following information.
Name: (Self explanatory)
Alias: (Nickname you want to be called?)
Age: (At least 18. Age does not equal experience, but younger ones will be tested harder to make sure they are tough enough to handle this kind of work.)
Appearance: (Real picture preferred)
Weight:
Height:
Gender:
Country of Origin:
Occupation: (Aside from being a Jaeger pilot, what else do you do to help out? Possible positions include: Research Division, Communications, Engineering, Recruitment&Training, and Leadership. If you can think of something else productive to do, that's alright too.)
Personality: (Optional)
Backstory: (Also optional. I believe this kind of RP allows for personality and history to be revealed during the RP, and is not necessarily that important for everyone to know.)

Rules:
1. Depending on how quickly the rp moves, if you are gone for lengthy periods of time, you may miss a lot and struggle to catch up. Therefore, if you are gone for 3 days without prior notice to me (just tell me. you dont really need a reason, I know life is tough) you will receive a PM from me asking if you want to continue. You will then have 2 days to reply in which case afterwards i will have no choice but to remove your character. But remember, if you tell me before hand that you will be gone, you have an unlimited amount of time before you return. Also keep in mind that you need to try to put your character in a place where the others wont be stuck if you leave. Stick him/her in their room to sleep or something.
2. This is a Casual Roleplay, which means that in terms of writing a post, they need to be at least a paragraph. To me, a paragraph is at least 5 complete sentences. (That does not include any dialogue you have in your post.) It may be 3 sentences for you, but then again, its not your RP, is it? So, please do not be a spam poster. If you are not going to post a decent reply to someone, just don't bother until you think of something more to say.
3. In regards to fighting: if there is a Kaiju attack, first off unless your a Veteran Ranger, your not going to be able to take it down in like a paragraph. You need to write out your fight as if you were actually a noob trying to fight it. Talk about the struggle, if you got hurt, etc. I'm not the one who will write the fights, you are. It's fun and gets everyone else excited so please put some actual effort into a fighting post.
4. In the CS Tab, you will find that characters from the movie are going to be in the RP (for example Mako, Raleigh, Herman, and Newt) that you are free to take control of at any given time. (That is unless someone is using that person. If Mako is helping a recruit with their simulation, she cannot also be having lunch with you at the same time.) I will occasionally use them to add more depth to the RP, but I AM NOT the voice of them. Do not expect me to always be Mako and Raleigh just cause i use them for character development. I'm only one girl.
5. If you have any problems with someone in the RP (like if you are a Dual Jaeger pilot and your partner had been gone for a number of days) please PM me and I will help you resolve it. No point in starting fights in the OOC. (That being said, this is another exception to the first rule. If you leave for a number of days during a Kaiju fight and you stall a lot of people in the RP, you will be killed. Simple as that.)
6. Please have fun! I've put a lot of love into this RP and i want you all to do the same! I'f you are a new recruit and you see the IC has like 300 posts, don't worry. There will be a way to fit you in without any hassle. You wont have to read it all.
7. To show you have read the rules, somewhere in your cs put: "To fight monsters, we created monsters of our own."
I don't know if you've heard, but the world is coming to an end? Now, where would you rather die? Here!? Or in a Jaeger!?
