phantom-flowerbeds and @netherskull present: PACIFIC HERMITS / A Hermitcraft/Pacific Rim AU!!

So!! Here’s what Paint and I have been cooking up for the past like...two days KSDFKDSFK

Turns out we both REALLY LOVE Pacific Rim, so I pitched the idea in the Remnant server the other day and now it’s blossomed into its own AU! More info under the cut :D

First and foremost, some important info:

We’ll be using the tags #ph au and #pacific hermits for any AU content, so please post any AU stuff w those tags!!

This AU is Doc and Scar-centric!! Most of the Hermits are featured in this AU, but ultimately, this is their story.

PH takes place on Earth. The “server,” in this case, acts as the base for the Jaeger Program.

Everyone is HUMAN in this AU. Yes, even Doc. I’ll be honest, drawing Human!Doc is NOT a fun experience but we’re rolling with it anyway KSDFKSDKFKSDF

You don’t have to know anything about PacRim to follow along!! But if you do have any questions/need us to clarify anything, Paint and I are happy to answer :3cc

X is not in this AU.

For those who aren’t familiar, Pacific Rim is a movie about Earth fighting against an alien threat, called Kaijus, that originated from the Pacific Ocean. Those who are a part of the effort to push the Kaijus back are part of the Jaeger Program, which is basically a division of the military dedicated to piloting giant mechs. The opening scene of the movie summarizes things pretty well, and you can find more detailed concepts/AU premise in the Masterpost :p

Speaking of which, you can find the PH Masterpost here! I’ll also post it in my bio for easier access. As far as development goes, I’m taking care of a lot of character development stuff, and Paint is handling the Jaeger designs (since she’s really the only one out of most of us who can draw mechs to begin with LMAOO). Please feel free to send us asks!! We’re super excited abt this AU and we hope y’all enjoy it as much as we do :’))

A lot of designs are still WIP, but for now here’s some doodles! (You can find Paint’s Jaeger designs at the bottom of the Masterpost!!)

Bro I'm loving the pH au so far! I'd love to hear more about Iskall and stress uwu

aww, thank you anon! :D iskall and stress lore coming right up:

-for shorthand purposes, i’ll refer to stress and iskall together as team frostbite.

-iskall and stress actually weren’t supposed to be teammates. originally, the architechs were going to try and form a three-pilot Jaeger team, but during the trial drifts, they found that they were an almost perfect match for one another.they both come from a snowier part of the world, so they fittingly went with the name Frostbite for their jaeger.

-iskall was in charge of most of the engineering behind frostbite, but most of the aesthetic/color scheme/weapon ideas came from stress.

-speaking of which, stress also designed their logo!! she sewed little patches into their flightsuits, and cleo and false helped her with embroidering it along the back (doodle down at the bottom uwu)

-team frostbite pilots a more defense-based jaeger. they’re the smallest one, standing at about 188 feet, and they’re the second-fastest just behind redwire perseus (mumbo and grian). they and redwire perseus are normally the first jaegers sent in for recon purposes.
