It’s well past midnight when Taeyong slips silently through the dormitory doors. This in itself is hardly unusual-- he has a habit of training late into the night or spending his free time sneaking off to work in the city. In fact, he hasn’t even had a chance to change from his workout clothes, still clad in a pair of sweats and a loose tank that sticks to his chest with cooling sweat. He’s wearing a jacket over the tank, his hood lifted to cover damp hair and zipper raised further than the warm July weather warrants, but that’s not too odd of a sight either. Taeyong tends to favor layers to mask his slight build.

What is unusual is the way that he’s holding a hand tucked close to his chest, almost as if cradling something inside his hoodie.

He’s careful not to let the door close too loudly behind him when he enters, bracing it with his back as he lets the door slowly, quietly click back into place. He keeps his shoulders pressed against it as his sharp eyes scan the hall ahead of him for any signs of life. At this hour, most of the other cadets should already be settled in their bunks for the night, but he knows better than to count on that. He’s walking proof that there are exceptions to every rule.

Movement against his palm draws his attention to the bundle he’s holding tucked against his chest, and his eyes soften. “Just a little further,” he assures, voice pitched low so not to wake anyone. He adjusts his jacket to tuck a little grey ear back beneath it.

hello, hello! sorry this is so belated but thank you all for the warm welcome! i’m ari, and this is my son taeyong. he’s a jaeger pilot hopeful in his second year at the academy, currently ranked b class. if you’d like to read about him, you could do so here, find his profile here, or his plot page here. his bio is stupid long so i’ve included a quick rundown below the cut for anyone interested. 

if you’d like to plot, maybe like this post so i can hit up your ims? (i also have twitter if that’s easier!) i can’t wait to plot with you all! ♥

born in a coastal town.

parents perished in a kaiju attack, and he was taken in by his aunt and uncle after that.

aunt and uncle were jaeger engineers, so he grew up in a shatterdome.

was sneaking into the engineering bay to watch them work since he was eight. he wasn’t allowed to really help, but his uncle let him stick around and learn. 

after losing too many pilots, his aunt and uncle were forced to man a prototype jaeger during a kaiju attack. his aunt died in the battle, and losing his wife while drift connected broke his uncle’s mind.

it fell to taeyong to take care of his uncle and raise his two younger cousins after that. they moved to a new city and he took what work he could find, working odd jobs around the city or taking shifts building the wall.

after operation pitfall, he decided to join the academy as soon as he was of age. he still works the odd job in the city when he can find the time, and any wages he makes are sent back home.

one of the highest ranking students in his classes, particularly in engineering, tactics, and hand to hand combat. 

too bad he can’t drift. ptsd at it’s finest. 

in danger of being cut from the program if he can’t achieve a successful drift.
