Overview:Jason is competitive, elitist and prideful. Jason feels a need to show up everyone else and can fall into a depression if outdone or if he fails at something. Jason is very much so vengeful, but this mainly due to his competitiveness than anger. Jason is very serious, if a bit melodramatic, and is very well composed, rarely becoming angry. History Jason was born in Auckland, New Zealand and was utterly unremarkable. He was bright, showing potential in English and Science, although he was a bit lacking in numerical skills. He was noted for being rather antisocial, preferring to not have to be around other people. For a future Jaeger pilot, though, Jason was rather unfit. Things changed when he fell in love with martial arts, however. Taking up boxing, Kendo, karate and Tae Kwon Do Jason immersed himself in the art of fighting. His fitness improved but Jason was known for being near psychic, knowing what his opponent was planning at every stage of a fight. At age 15, he met Zachary. The two had a massive rivalry and found themselves competing in just about everything, from social skills to video games. Jason and Zachary were different and a perfect contrast to each other. Jason proved to be better in slower, less physical competitions. They continued together, competing constantly into university but for the most part not caring about the Kaiju or Jaegers. Things changed during the introduction of Mark 4 Jaegers when it was discovered that not only were the two excellent fighters, they were also quite obviously drift compatible. They underwent training and were due to be assigned to a Mark 5 Jaeger when the Jaeger Program lost its funding. For a while they were instead transferred to the Australia and New Zealand Army Corps. They were dejected and fundamentally bored with the military lifestyle, when the Jaeger Program was being reinstated. The two were the obvious choice for the government to choose as the pilots of New Zealand's own Jaeger, and they were transferred once more to Sydney, where the new Jaeger Whirlwind Taniwha was being constructed.

Overview:Zachary is quiet and appears rather shy and unconfident, but the truth is that Zachary is cocky and bored. He doesn’t care much for idle conversation with people, something that is reflected in his relationship with Jason, which revolves entirely around activity. Zachary lacks the competitive streak that Jason has due to his overconfidence. He sees himself as being unquestionably better than others, leading him to simply ignore competition. However despite this and his basic antisocial tendencies Zachary is loyal, helpful and legitimately caring to his friends, although anyone befriending him is rare. History From a young age, Zachary rejected education. He was perfectly intelligent and was the archetype of the genius that ‘just didn’t apply himself at school’, leading to ‘a lot of wasted potential’. His life devolved into going to and fro from sports to a growing video game addiction, doing all his work at school during classes with the help of a smartphone. Zachary met Jason at school, and Zachary’s life changed, now entirely focused on besting Jason. He dropped his sports and instead joined Jason’s fighting, the two sparring and constantly trying to beat each other. Zachary was more physical and reactive, a fit to Jason’s mental and predictive nature. After this, their lives more or less melded, the two doing just about everything together. OOC StuffAnything Else:OOC Name:Kaisu Name Color #195C19 Number Of Stars5 Color Of StarsGreen Sample RP:Jason stood, staring Zachary down. Zachary stared back with a steely gaze. The two stood facing each other, their feet evenly spaced, one hand by their side and the other touching the other person’s hand by the wrist. Zachary flexed his hand, keeping it loose. On the other hand, Jason’s was taut and in a claw. A bell sounded and the two started. Jason jumped back straight away, whipping his hand back. Zachary started with a front kick which Jason struck, bringing a fist down onto his shin. He lowered his leg and stepped in, swinging up his leg to knee Jason in the side. Jason launched his fist into Zachary’s gut, but before Zachary reeled he launched back with an uppercut. It connected with Jason’s head and snapped it back. Zachary quickly followed up with a vicious swipe to the side of the head, a straight jab again to his face and a roundhouse kick that knocked Jason to the side. Zachary adjusted his footing a little, smirking. Jason quickly recovered and opened with a low side kick, again to Zachary’s shin. Jason dropped to the ground with a sweep as Zachary’s leg moved. Zachary managed to jump over the sweep, responding with a kick to Jason’s face. Jason managed to lean back enough to dodge it and he thrust up, his shoulder connecting squarely with Zachary’s chest. Zachary stumbled and fell to the ground. He picked himself up and looked over Jason again. Jason’s lip had burst and there was a small line of blood dribbling down his chin that he wiped off with his wrist. The two returned to their starting position. Zachary started with a straight jab and Jason blocks it as he swings his arm to shove it out of the way. Zachary throws a punch over their locked limbs which Jason catches. He swings his arm, aiming to strike Jason in the face with the back of his hand, but Jason lets go and dodges easily. Jason thrusts his arms forward, grabbing Zachary’s right hand by the wrist and he punches him in the gut with his spare hand, repeating it three times. Zachary’s breath catches as he lunges forward, jumping and throwing his weight over Jason. He rolls over his back, Jason’s arm twisting as he passes over. Jason lashes out with a mule kick that Zachary manages to catch with both arms as Jason lets go. The two stop for a fraction of a second. Jason flicks up with his leg, bringing it into Zachary’s armpit. He then flips backwards, throwing his weight onto Zachary. As Zachary sidesteps Jason punches him in the face and Jason manages to land precariously on one leg, the other flicking out to catch Zachary in the gut. Zachary bats it aside as Jason cartwheels back to his feet. Zachary laughed, wiping his nose as blood began to trickle out. Jason smirked and started walking past him, quickly trying to punch him in the gut as he passed Zachary. He caught it easily and smirked before kicking Jason in the back of the knee, which Jason dodged by jumping forward. “Come on, then. Command wants us ready in case of an attack.” Jason remarked
