"The sooner we finish the Kaiju, the sooner I can get back off the grid."

 

Name: Coraline “Country Roads” Kent

 

Appearance: Sun-kissed with freckles, green-eyed, and red-haired, Coraline's 5'7 frame is packed with taunt muscle, result of a personal fitness routine that consumes much of her free time. She's slow to warm up to new people, skittish about getting too close to another person she might lose or get hurt by. Not wanting the hassle of leadership breathing down her neck she'll adhere to the text of Ranger regulations with a crisp 'Yes, Sir.', 'No, Sir.' answer to most questions if she can get away with it. Her anger smolders behind this facade, flaring when her Drift Partner, equipment, or small collection of plants in the green house get messed with.

 

History: Born a few months after the first Kaiju attacks to a pair of Oregon farmers Joel and Ellie Kent, Coraline is the 2^nd youngest of four siblings. Raised largely off-the-grid with a rebellious stubbornness and suspicion against outside authority, that trait was only double-downed when the rampage of a Kaiju in her 12^th year resulted the tainting of a large swath of her state and it's declaration as an Exclusion Zone. The Kent clan decided not to follow the exodus, working to keep their patch of land in the family and enough to keep them all safe and fed.

 

The following years were... Hard, costing her both her mother and her two older brothers. She, especially after the passing of her brothers, served as the face of the family, the one to go out and trade their surplus for what they needed from the other residents of the zone, a role that all often required persuading the other party that not shooting the golden goose was best for business. She doesn't like to talk about the days when someone, often new refugees, decided to fuck around and find out.

 

Still, they survived, and kept one ear on the ground regarding the thunderous titan battles between the Jaegers and the Kaiju.

 

It wasn't too much of a surprise when the PPDC sweep came in 2029 and gathered anyone up in the right age range for 'drift' testing. To her surprise, Coraline scored high enough to warrant a not-so-optional invite training as one of these Jaeger pilots. She expected to mad about it, and she was, but not nearly as much as she thought she'd be. There were monsters out there on the other side of the valley and the guys keeping them on said other side were getting their asses kicked. To her relief, Coraline's surviving sibling, the 12 year old Ruth Kent was too young to be picked up in the sweep but, if this 'drift compatibility' was at all genetic, Ruth would be picked up if things dragged out.

 

And Coraline wasn't going to stand by and just let that happen.

 

She threw herself into the training, proving that potential could be forged into useful skills and graduating the program with one big gain for all the new and mostly-unwelcome oversight in her life: Maia St. Croix. The other woman Got Her and Cora Got Her, too. It was an understanding that's saved their lives multiple times on the missions they've gone out on, resulting in two Kaiju deaths at the hands of their Jaeger, Einjeher Sigma.

Names - Emory Adele and Eryn Rae Foxx  Jaeger - Echo Gemini   

 

Lieutenant Tom Foxx and Research Assistant Doro Rosales met in 2010 when both were at DARPA working with Dr Lightcap on the Thought controlled Fighter program. The two fell in love and married, then the world fell apart. The kaiju came and then the PPDC.

 

Because of their backgrounds both joined the fledgling PPDC, Tom having tested very positively and with test pilot background was in the first group of Rangers. Doro was assigned to research.

 

Tom had problems though. While he had scored in the top with the Pons equipment, he was unable to successfully drift with others. In an attempt to determine what the Problem might be Doro ran several drift experiments with Tom and herself. All those tests were successful.

 

It seemed that Tom and Doro were so connected that drifting together was almost automatic. And so Doro became a Ranger and the Foxx’s became the first married couple to pilot Jaegers. They became the Pilots of Echo Vortex and entered the Fray.

 

But that’s not really the story here, just the prologue.

 

The Foxx’s were good Jaeger pilots, and during that first year they saw a lot of time in the Conn-Pod of Echo Vortex, both in action and even more in training. Then it was discovered that Doro was Pregnant. With Twins. The pregnancy hadn’t been detected until the 18^th week, and Doro, who had always had an irregular menstrual cycle hadn’t thought anything of it. She was immediately reassigned back to R&D and Tom unable to drift with anyone else was put into command and control.

 

That didn’t last. Twice during the remainder of the pregnancy Doro and Tom were forced to go back out in Echo Vortex to face a Rampaging Kaiju. Both times they returned victorious. It was here that the twins first experienced Drift through their parents, and it would change them forever.

 

Two weeks after the Foxx’s last mission Doro gave birth to two healthy girls, Emory Adele and Eryn Rae.

 

The babies were different from the get-go. They seemed to be more interested in each other and their parents than in their surroundings. They developed rapidly learning to crawl, and walk and even talk quicker than the average, but more remarkable is that they did it in tandem. One didn’t take the lead, they both learned and acted together. A trait they would keep as they grew up.

 

By the time they could speak and hold conversation it was very common for them to either both speak the exact same words, at the exact same time or for one to begin a sentence and the other to finish it. They didn’t like being separated and when they were they became agitated the further away and the longer the separation lasted.

Test showed that they were normal in every aspect except that their mental functions were identical but still they had individual personalities. Emory was flighty and mischievous while Eryn was more serious and curious. If one didn’t have a trait the other would have it and vice versa. Physically they were identical and maintained that mirror physicality throughout their lives with no effort. They were naturally ambidextrous and even their eyesight was unusual as neither eye was dominate.

 

They grew up immersed in the environment of the PPCD, while not the only children present, there were kids that belonged to support staff and non-combatants, they still stuck to themselves when they were younger. And they were also being observed if not actively studied. And they knew it.

 

That the girls were intelligent was obvious but in school they didn’t really excel in academics they showed no proclivity toward any particular subject, though they passed all of their courses with scores in the 80-95%. They were however exceptional in their physical education courses and sports, both individual and team. Both played soccer, tennis, and Basketball. They took archery and shooting. And they were surprisingly good at wrestling.

 

They began to mingle more with their peers in their late teens even going to parties and such teenage thing. They never dated or even seemed interested in romantic ventures.

 

More than most of their peers the twins were aware of the world and the war. They observed and would ask for details when their parents were home.

 

The twin’s parents, Doro and Tom, had been forced by the worsening world situation to take their places back in the Conn-pod of Echo Vortex leaving the twins in the care of surrogates, often for weeks at a time. These excursions/missions would take place all throughout the twins developmental age which gave the girls a very concise and often bleak understanding of the world situation something their peers tried to hide away from. When the girls were a few weeks shy of their eighteenth birthday Echo Vortex went out on a mission. It didn’t come back.

 

With no hesitation after being informed of the loss of their Parents, Emory and Eryn requested admission to the jaeger academy.

 

The powers that be had of course been observing the twins since their birth and while their purpose had never been nefarious, it was obvious they unique opportunity the Foxx girls could present. The scientists and psychologist had even coined a term for it Bonded Psyches. Two people who were so close and in sync with each other that they were capable of acting in unison well beyond the norm. Emory and Eryn went beyond this they were Bonded Twins and the scientist really wanted to get them in a Conn-pod and see what they could do.

 

The twins were given the same tests any other applicant would have to undergo for admissions, and they passed. Then came the hard part.

 

Jaeger Academy is a grueling twenty-four week series of courses and tests designed to break a candidate to weed out those who would fail in the Coon-Pod. It’s a testament to the academy that any who enter, and fail are still considered to be PPCD officer material.

 

The twins passed and were now the youngest Rangers in the ppcd. And the girls did it all on their own merit. Though the powers that be would never admit it, they would have been passed anyway.

 

As they were graduating the academy the news came to them that their mother had been found alive on an island and rescued and was enroute to a hospital in Japan. Their father was confirmed as KIA.

 

A month later they were stationed  at the Seattle Shatter Dome, Their Mother recovered from her ordeal Joined them there as part of the Technical Staff and they were shown the Skeleton of the Jaeger that would be theirs the custom designed Echo Gemini.

[Veral]

Avraham Cohen was born in the Catskills of upstate New York, the son of Retired Lt. Colonel Moishe Cohen and his wife Lena. His childhood was one of religious education and little contact with the outside world. However, Avraham would sneak out after dark and meet up with some other neighborhood kids to experience more of the secular world. The Cohen's still maintained close ties with Israel, even going so far as to have Moishe lobbying congress to provide more material support for Israel's military and humanitarian efforts. While Avraham was a youngster at the start of the Kaiju invasion, his father soon began to obsess with the way humanity was developing to fight off these monsters. He soon began pressuring all his contacts in Israel to support the United States with their technological and military skill. After the first Jaegers were developed, Israel made a small division of their engineering team for designing their own Jaeger. Although the fight was taking place half a world away, Israeli commanders were thinking of what would happen if the kaiju broke out of the pacific ring and stormed across the world. After seeing the results of the rest of the world's jaegers fighting the Kaiju, Israel submitted their template and production plan to the United States government and the PPDC. Seeing that the work had gone into it, the PPDC asked Moishe, the one who was behind the program who would pilot this machine that was untested and some said dangerous to the pilots. Moishe replied, "I would have my son pilot it if it would get this Jaeger onto the field where it belongs." Upon hearing that ,and a bit obsessed with Kaiju as well, Avraham decided to join the PPDC instead of the Israeli military that he was planning to do. He was 19 at this time. Going through the academy, Avraham showed a propensity for Heavy Jaegers that almost bordered on the obsessed. His mind was deemed to be a bit tougher than most when it came to Neural Loads. He believed it had to do with his faith and training in the study of the Torah. However, it was just a quirk of genetics. His father's connections to the Jaeger program in Israel led to Avraham being the favored candidate for the new Jaeger being built. It didn't hurt that Avraham was a fighter like his father. His goal when piloting Maccabee Ma'or is to defend and protect the world by uniting his faith and his strength of will.
