THOUGH WE ARE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
he was just doing it for fun. hacking. he has hacking for fun at the age of 15. never in his life did he think he would be doing anything else and was happy with it. during the whole chaos of the in the world, yoongi lived quite the relaxed life. Living wit a single mother, It was hard in the beginning, but then he found his was of making money. It was low, he agrees, spending his little free time self teaching himself to hack through security cameras, emails, bank accounts and mainly use if for blackmail. His mum didn’t have to know where all that money came, and in all honesty, she never cared. It gave yoongi all the more reason for him to continue doing it. He always slept fine at night, no guilt ever felt from what he was doing.
He continued expanding his knowledge and skills, he went by the name hana. Nothing fancy really, nothing like the people he had encountered in his few years of hacking. Eventually, he began going for bigger and bigger goals. He always got away with it. It was a simple life, going to school during the day and making a plan of how to get to his next target and what he wanted. That was, of course, until he turned 18. There was a knock on his door, a rather angry knock. Yoongi will always remember how he got out of his chair, walked down the small corridor of their apartment in daegu and opened the door.
He doesn’t remember the date that flipped his whole life inside out, he just knew he wouldn’t never forget the fact that he wasn’t good enough at hiding himself.
WE SHALL STAND STRONG LIKE TITANS
Yoongi was 18 when he pretty much got scouted for the whole bullshit that he called jeager ass. He didn’t have a choice, really, knowing the world could crumble at any given point, how could he say no? he as a matter of fact, he didn’t have a choice, the people were pretty persistent. it had also been years of ignoring everything on the news, ignoring how it was chaos all over the place. Especially in 2011. the world was just going to shit and yoongi was sat in front of a computer, and being eaten alive by his own thoughts at how useless he is. Scientists were always got the short end of the stick. He just an academy recruit, he didn’t even see a future with the last four jaegers. He didn’t know what was expected of him, so he studied. Studied his ass of, until he found himself falling asleep in the labs with keyboard keys marked on his face.
Yoongi insists that his studies paid off, would pay off, somehow. He was good before, but specializing was worth the hours of sleep he lost. Â It was an interesting experience to see how quickly the world could have crumbled on a very specific day, but he learned something important. You need to take risks at times, in order to see a better day. Or see another day in general.

RE: CADET #970701  •  •  •  LEE , TAEYONG Â
ASSIGNED TO STRIKEÂ , EVALUATION SCORE OF < 410 > POINTS
THOUGH WE ARE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
Taeyong grew up in a world where kaiju attacks were inevitable. It was never a matter of if they would attack, but when. It was why his parents moved from their coastal hometown and to the city when he was only six. By then, all of the inner-city housing had been snatched up by the rich and powerful, but his parents still seemed to find comfort when they could no longer look out the kitchen window and see the coastline stretching in the distance.
Their new apartment was stuffy and dark and Taeyong hated it. He missed their home by the beach, missed waking up to the sound of seagulls and the scent of the sea breezing through open windows. The city was crowded and filthy and his parents were never around, working shift after shift at the hospital just to afford the hole in the wall that they now called home.
They saw the city as a sanctuary– but to Taeyong, it was just a cage.
For months, they went through the motions of leading a normal life in this new world. A world where monsters rose from the sea with increasinging frequency, each bigger and stronger than the last. Taeyong still went to school. He still sat through class after class, learning arithmetic and chemistry and public speaking like any of it actually mattered anymore. Like it wasn’t all just one big production, humanity’s last act before the curtain closed on them for good.
That curtain call came only two years later.
Taeyong was home alone when the sirens sounded. His parents were both off working early shifts at the hospital, and so he was sitting in front of the television eating a bowl of cereal, too close to the set with the volume up louder than his mother would ever allow. He didn’t even notice the sirens blaring outside until his cartoon was interrupted by the emergency broadcast.
As the reality of what he was hearing sank in, Taeyong scrambled to his feet, knocking his bowl of cereal to the floor in his haste. No sooner had he found his shoes and shoved his feet into them than the house phone began to ring. Even before his frantic dash to the kitchen, he knew it would be his parents, calling to make sure he was awake and on his way to a bunker to wait out the attack. “I’m on my way now,” he assured them in lieu of greeting. He didn’t stop moving, taking the cordless phone with him as he grabbed his keys and cell phone from the entryway table.
He knew better than to ask if they would meet him. They’d been over this exact scenario too many times– if ever there was an attack on the city and his parents were at work, Taeyong’s only job was to get himself to the nearest kaiju shelter. His parents had a duty to their patients and couldn’t leave the hospital during a crisis. The hospital had a bunker of its own. All he could do was trust his parents would get to it in time.
“Be safe out there,” his dad instructed, voice gruffer than Taeyong had ever heard it, “Move quick, but keep your head. There’s a lot of people panicking out there. Stay away from the crowds as much as you can.”
“I will,” Taeyong replied, already breathless as he quickly descended flight after flight of stairs, “I know what to do, Dad.”
“I know you do, kid.” His dad’s voice softened. “I still want you to be careful. Your mom and I will come find you once this is over. We love you.”
Taeyong never doubted for a second that his parents would come for him. Even when he made it to the streets and was swept up in the chaos of the evacuating civilians, even when the ground beneath his feet shook with the cry of the kaiju as it rose from the sea. Even when the roof of the bunker began to crack and crumble from the force of the beast’s attack on the city above his head. Through it all, Taeyong held onto the promise that he would see his parents again once the danger passed.
But he didn’t.
He was only eight when he went to live with his aunt and uncle. They worked as engineers for a new group formed to level the playing field between man and kaiju– the Pan Pacific Defense Corps. His aunt and uncle worked insane hours, leaving Taeyong to care for his two younger cousins most days. He didn’t mind too much, though. Not when he saw his aunt and uncle’s passion for their work, the fire in their eyes as they argued specs across the dinner table. For the first time in years, Taeyong recognized hope in an adult’s eyes.
He grew up around jaegers. Once the program took off, his aunt and uncle moved the family to live on the base so that they could be closer to their work, and after that it wasn’t long before Taeyong found his way into the engineering bay. The higher ups were never happy to find him in the shatterdome, but his uncle waved off their concern, declaring “there’s nothing more dangerous in here than there is outside these walls,” and then his smile would sharpen, “at least not yet.”
Though Taeyong never worked on an actual jaeger, he worked close alongside those that did, passing them tools and fine tuning their equipment as needed. His aunt and uncle taught him everything they knew, nurturing his newfound interest in engineering. They made no secret of their hopes that he would follow in their footsteps once he was old enough to join the PPDC.
But then the jaegers began to fall.
Panic was quick to return. No longer were the jaegers hailed as humanity’s salvation. They were losing, and surely that meant that the end was close. After all, the jaegers were the world’s greatest line of defense. If not even they could hold their own anymore, then what hope was left of surviving this war?
With every jaeger that fell the PPDC also lost pilots capable of manning them. Soon, there were not enough jaegers, not enough pilots. The shatterdome grew emptier with every passing day.
And that was when disaster struck.
For the second time in his life, Taeyong felt the ground tremble with the roar of a kaiju.
Even before the alarms sounded, he was on his feet, moving to shake his little cousins awake and get them dressed. His aunt and uncle spilled out of their adjoining room. As his uncle rushed to the com system, his aunt took Taeyong’s face in her hands, forcing him to meet her eyes as she told him to keep calm and stay put. Their bunks were as safe; the base was built to withstand an attack.
Taeyong could only nod, feeling a bit like a bobblehead as his hands lifted to curl around his aunt’s wrists. His heartbeat was hammering in his ears, but he did his best to keep it from showing. His little cousins were watching. He needed to be strong for them.
His aunt’s smile softened. Like always, she seemed to know everything that Taeyong was thinking, and she gave his cheeks a gentle squeeze before pressing a kiss to his forehead. “You three sit tight. We’ll be back before you know it.”
Due to the shortage of pilots and suits, his aunt and uncle were called to man a jaeger prototype in the battle that followed. No one knew the new suit like its creators, and though the two only received basic pilot training, they knew enough to perform a successful drift. It was a risky move borne of desperation, and it was one that would cost his aunt her life.
WE SHALL STAND STRONG LIKE TITANS
Taeyong’s uncle was never able to recover from the death of his aunt. The trauma of losing his wife while drift connected took too severe of a toll on his uncle’s mind. It fell to Taeyong to take care of what remained of their family. They moved to a new city to start over, and he took jobs where he could, even working on the stupid wall when there was no other work available to him. It was up to Taeyong to keep everyone fed, to keep a roof over their head and clothes on their backs. His uncle, once a great engineer, faded to nothing more than a shell of the man he once was. The jaegers, once revered, were eventually decommissioned.
Then Operation Pitfall changed everything.
After the breach was sealed and the jaeger program reinstated, hope returned. Civilization began to pick itself up from the wreckage left by the kaiju. An academy opened for those wishing to join the PPDC, and as soon as he became of age, Taeyong decided to apply. He needed more stable work to support his family, but more than that– he dreamed of becoming a pilot. Should the kaiju ever return, as he was sure they would, he vowed to fight them himself.
It’s been two years since Taeyong joined the academy. He makes excellent marks in most all of his classes, but he’s hot-headed, and his temper often gets him in trouble. His passion is what makes him formidable. If he lacks in an area, he trains obsessively to compensate for it, to correct it. He’s most skilled at hand to hand combat, be it martial arts, boxing, or even fencing. He also earns top marks in engineering coursework and basic tactics. However, he’s hardly a team player, and it keeps him from advancing further in the rankings– particularly when it comes to drift syncing. Taeyong finds it difficult to trust and impossible to let anyone into his head to complete a proper drift. To date, he’s never managed a successful drift.

THOUGH WE ARE IN THE EYE OF THE STORM
Jongin was lucky in all things considering. His family were ones that had a lot of money but they had enough to get by. His father was fortunately one of those people that knew everyone. They he had enough connections to let them live comfortably. His father was the pretty much the only reason why they were able to live as nicely as they do. They didn’t have that many worries but that was thanks to his father. His father he remembered cried a lot, he remembered he crying everyday despite her trying to hide it. He never got to see Kaijus in person and he guesses he’s thankful. He’s seen them on television. He’s seen the creatures on the screen and thinking that he wanted to see one in person. He wanted to see the giant monsters that illuminated blue in person.
WE SHALL STAND STRONG LIKE TITANS
Jongin had a fascination with animals. Since he was a kid he surrounded himself with animals, despite his mother’s protest. He really didn’t need 4 hamsters but he insisted that he was a vet and he needed to take care of them. She settled for the hamsters, the parakeet and the three legged dog that he found off the street. His book cases were filled with books on animal biology and veterinary journals. He guesses that where all the interest in Kaijus stemmed from. He wanted to know what made them work. Why how they moved the way the moved, how they breathe and eat. Jongin found himself nearly obsessed. He found himself moving from his mom and his father in his comfortable house, despite his mother’s tearful goodbye. Jongin kept his dog’s leash in his hand when he arrived, his hamsters and bird he would have to visit when he can. Or somehow bring them over. He will figure it out.
You are called in for your annual psych evaluation. The psychologist is easily forgettable hours later. You can’t remember if their hair was black or brown, if their eyes were blue or green, but you can remember this: the tone of their voice was so cold. The questions asked continue to ring in your head hours later in the hours before you sleep.
What is your favorite color?
What quality do you believe defines you?
What quality do you believe is your worst?
What are your greatest fears?
Are you afraid of the Kaiju?
Could you kill if asked to? If the target was human?
When you wake up, you feel disoriented, exhausted, and as if your head is pounding the more you try to adjust. Next to you, there is a white envelope with the PPDC emblem addressed to you. Opening it, you discover you are being told to report to Corridor X of the Shatterdome in secret if and only if you are willing to follow every instruction you are given from the moment you step inside. Do you dare to go?
