academyooc | AU Worldbuilding Meme (#2)

It can be an intimidating process trying to come up with a way to AU your character from their canon into another universe, which is why the AU Worldbuilding Meme is here to help you! Post a comment here to:

Brainstorm with others about adapting events into the game universe!
Discuss possible impacts of a Pacific Rim setting on your character, and how in-game elements may affect them similarly to in-canon elements.
Look over the AU Handbook and coordinate and discuss the impact of various events on the world over the last seven years.
Help each other flesh out and build past relationships and history for purposes of this game.

Please be respectful within this space, and take the chance to get some excellent brainstorming done together! Please direct AU worldbuilding questions requesting mod response to either the AU Handbook or the P.A.Q./F.A.Q. Thank you!

> He's from Chicago, went to Cornell though after some time in the Navy, which he went back into until K-Day.

> Joined up waay early on in the program and got assigned to a Mark II Jaeger, took down a kaiju annnd his co-pilot got killed in a car accident (they were partners roughly two-ish years).

> Now he's an Academy instructor! He's been in Alaska until recently (where he was also trained many moons ago).

I'm game for anything really, lay it on me folks!
