When I was a kid, whenever I'd feel small or lonely...I'd look up at the stars and wonder if there was life up there. Turns out I was looking in the wrong direction.
When alien life entered our world it was from deep beneath the Pacific Ocean. A fissure between two tectonic plates. A portal between dimensions.
They called it the Breach.
- Raleigh Beckett (Pacific Rim).
It’s funny how quickly things can change.
One minute you’re on top of the world, then the next, your world is crumbling down around you…
Five years ago, you and your drift partner had the highest success rates of any Jaeger pilots. Now, one horrific tragedy and a hasty promotion later, you’re pushing pencils thousands of miles away from the place you called home.
That is, until a Kaiju with stealth abilities like nothing that’s ever been seen before crawls out of the Breach.
Recalled back into service, you’re forced to team up with your once rival under the command of your former drift partner, and the advice of two scientists who seem more interested in the Kaiju’s than your safety. All while someone with more money than sense attempts to undermine you at every turn.
With everything seemingly against you, will you take up the mantle of hero once more or will you let the darkness plaguing your mind consume you?
Customisable MC (including name, pronouns, appearance, and identity). Personality is semi-set (MC uses humour and sarcasm as a coping method for their trauma) for a majority of the time, however there will be chances for character development and therefore more personality choices.
Pilot a Jaeger, fight Kaiju’s, and keep the world safe all while battling your own demons.
Five characters are available to romance. Two are only romanceable in a (triad) poly.
Found family.
RO PoVs.
Befriend (and potentially adopt) a baby Kaiju. Also give your dog lots of love.
Ciaran O’Doherty [M/F] - Hot-tempered and viciously in denial of the love they have for you that has only seemed to grow in your absence, Ciaran is your newly assigned drift partner and self-proclaimed rival. [PROFILE].
Killian Zhao [M/F] - Once a talented pilot and your former drift partner, Killian is now your formidable and highly respected commanding officer with a soft spot reserved just for you. [PROFILE].
Brin Kazlauskas [M/F/NB] - Waspish, fastidious, and someone that no one wants to be on the wrong side of, Brin is a K-Science officer with a wicked protective streak towards Zai and you . Only romanceable in a poly with Zai. [PROFILE].
Zai Oumarou [M/F/NB] - Despite a somewhat anxious disposition around those xe doesn’t know, Zai is a K-Science officer with a lot of enthusiasm and a deep curiosity towards Kaiju. Only romanceable in a poly with Brin. [PROFILE].
Ajax Nikolaou [M!NB/F!NB] - With a twisted determination to be a giant pain in your ass, Ajax is the ruthless CEO of Nikolaou Industries, a company that seeks to make the Pan Pacific Defense Corps completely redundant. [PROFILE].
Ferelith [F] - The baby Kaiju with a sweet character that was rescued by Zai, Ferelith loves cuddles, Lord of the Rings (according to Zai), and munching on Brin’s lab coat.

I remember you mentioning before one of the ros is viciously in denial that they love the mc and I cannot wait to hear more about them 🫣
Drift partner RO! 🫶
They’ve undergone a name change from Cináed to Ciaran (because no matter how many times I look up the pronunciation for Cináed, I forget it five seconds later), but other than that, they’re still the same idiot trying desperately to deny their love for MC like they’re not projecting that loud and clear across the drift 😭

$10 Walmart Specials
I have a car that, suprisingly, has a working CD player. So I have been running on nostalgia and being that it is nearly St. Patrick's Day I have been listening to my collection of "celtic" CDs. You know the ones. Vaguely celtic/irish music that came from the "Press here for music" wingstack on the end of a 90's/00's Walmart isle somewhere near the candle section. Those CDs. And as I know I am not the only one who enjoyed these I'm gonna post the ones I have and their track lists (if possible).
The OG. The one that started my love of Celtic/Irish Music: Celtic Journey (1996)
Celtic Whispers. A good instrumental CD. But why the fancy script for the track list?
Celtic Wonder. I had forgotten that this was a CD of female voices.
Celtic Mist. Another good celtic CD with actual Irish music.
Celtic Christmas. No actual christmas songs just a overall feeling of winter. I actually do not have the CD for this one as it disappeared somewhere along the line, but I still have the case. Somewhere.
Celtic Circle Vol 1 & 2. Full of old standards and newer songs. The most "mainstream" of the ones I have.
Celtic Moods. A celtic companion CD to the Pure Moods CDs (of which I have a couple). It's decent.
Celtic Soul. The most NOT celtic celtic CD I have. It's more soul than celtic especially with a sax on at least one of the songs.
Those are my nostalgia Celtic CDs! I had forgotten how good some of them were! Feel free to add on as I'm always interested in what other people have listened to.
