What if, you were one of the last warriors standing? The one leading the charge as you fight to defend Humanity in a desperate struggle to survive, standing as you prepare to drag your destroyers down to Hell with you.
Earth is damned, the Rift had splintered and opened up to the point where Cat-1's roam the planet unimpeded. Urban Centers are now nothing more than massive graveyards for the deceased, the world is nothing more than a titanic playground for Kaiju. Most of the world has gone silent, fearful of the monsters who stalk their streets and countrysides. Gone are the days where you could stand outside, wave to your neighbor and live a life free without fear. Gone are the days, where you could be free.
But you won't stand for it…
You are a part one of the few remaining Jaeger Crews still standing, one of the few who has managed to survive this long. Soon, you might be able to bring Humanity back from the brink and back into the light. You will ascend from darkness, carrying the torch that lights the fires burning deep within the Human Soul. Burning bright, you will make them pay.
Today, we will bring the fight to them. Today, we will stand tall and proud as we rise from the ashes as a burning phoenix. Today! We! Will! Make! Them! BLEED!
You stand among fellow pilots, ready to fight and bleed with you. You stand at one of the few remaining places capable of sustaining a Jaeger, ready to deliver us from darkness.
So are you with us? Or are you going to hide and wait till the Kaiju destroy Earth's last bastions of Humanity?

Would everyone be fine making their own Jaeger after creating the pilots? I just want to know if this is too much.
EDIT: Fixed, I think.
Everyone good?

Alright, let's see here...
[X] Plan: Two Halves Of Britain
[X] Left Pilot Name: Walter C. Thompson
[X] Age: 49
[X] Appearance: A weary and tired old pilot ready for one last hurrah, with receding black hair and tired eyes he looks to the horizon. Likes to dress fancy for the occasion, and has quite a number of suits.
[X] Nationality: Great Britain
[X] History: Walter C. Thompson was a Jaeger Pilot before everything went to hell, and as such was left with nothing more than his Jaeger and his fellow pilot Victoria. After finding out about the remaining people who had taken shelter at the old Shatterdome, with renewed vigor he managed to assist in getting things operational. Now he plans on fighting these damned Kaiju until either they give out, or his tired body finally gives in to years of combat within the Jaeger.
[X] Right Pilot Name: Victoria Williams
[X] Age: 24
[X] Appearance: A kind and graceful looking lady with messy blonde hair, wearing a simple pair of circular rimmed glasses over her eyes. Wears simple and common to find clothes, she's not that picky.
[X] Nationality: Great Britain
[X] History: Victoria was assigned to an older Pilot to teach her the ropes, and soon both of them became quite close, like family. After the Kaiju managed to destroy the Wall and wreak chaos upon the world, they were left wandering around for a few days, after leaving their Jaeger behind at the Shatterdome. But not all hope was lost, as people had taken shelter there, and soon Walter had gotten everything squared away. No longer will they hide, they will bring these alien bastards down or die trying.

Bringing It Home

You were the Marshall of the Last Shatterdome, what was left from the others. Most assume you were just a last stand group, hoping to fight off any Kaiju with whatever you had. But hope had shined through in the shape of two crazy Brits, going by the name of Walter and Victoria.
"Marshal?" One of your Aides had called, and you were handed a clipboard with the good news...No, it was great news! These scavengers had managed to recover a full Jaeger from Oblivion Bay, somehow it had survived the destruction and was sitting there.
Now its's time to bring this fight to them! Calling Walter and Victoria, you could hear the excitement in the old man's voice and his fellow pilot was downright giddy. This was a boost everyone needed, it was time to start setting up better things than scavenging.
Time to get some construction done.
...
To be fair, this wasn't what you were expecting when you were told about the Jaeger. It was missing a few important pieces, armor plating over its reactor and Conn Pod, left forearm missing, and a few other internal problems.
But it's a Mark III Jaeger Husk still in good condition, you could probably fix it and get something out of it.

I've added some weapons to choose from as a sample, and thank you for joining.

We're going to be brutal and quick, we only have one Jaeger so far so we can't risk getting into long combat. But I'm not gonna play chicken and hide behind a wall of firepower, they'll eventually adapt to our plans and rip us to shreds. Hellfire Projectors are a good compromise between Plasma Casters and Mag Rails, considering burnings gonna cauterize the wound and possibly burn our enemy to death. Our Hydraulic Fists however, are going to be a good weapon in close quarters.
If we're able to stunlock our target, then we can turn him/her/it into our bitch and just keep pummeling.

I Want To Feel That Power Rush

It had taken a few weeks to repair the broken Jaeger, but at the Pilots' demand it was outfitted with Hellfire Projectors, a simple weapon that spewed Phosphorous at temperatures high enough to turn steel into molten slag. The downside was its range, but the Hydraulic Gauntlets it had would compensate for it.
Walter had chuckled at the sight of it, having a thin frame yet looked durable enough to take on a Cat-V Kaiju with minor difficulty. Victoria was in awe of the newly christened Wildcat Theta, looking on with a mixture of pure joy and nostalgia.
"Are you ready to see if it works?" You asked them, and both of them had agreed near instantly. Both pilots had gone off to suit up, and you had gone to see the Engineers.
One of the Engineers was a nice girl by the name of Amelia, most of the Engineers here looked at her as the leader of them. Though, you're not sure why she brought in cats to the Shatterdome. But the help in getting mice from chewing the wires on the machines was very appreciated, even if they kept sleeping in odd places.
"Alright boss, systems up and online. Ready to begin Drift Sequence in 3...2...1..." The Jaeger whirred to life for a brief moment, but then went dead silent with a shudder. "Wait, damn it...Is the neural interface connected properly?"
A voice came onto the radio, answering the Lead Engineer's question. "My bad boss, give us a few minutes to set everything back up." Sighing, you waited for the Engineers to check and make sure everything was properly connected down to the last wire.
"Alright, beginning Drift Sequence in 3...2...1..." This time, the Jaeger had started up perfectly. "Alright Walter, move your left arm up. I want to see if the connections are working out, just to troubleshoot."
Moving its left arm, the Jaeger moved perfectly in sync with the Rangers. "She handles likes a dream Amelia, I'd like to thank you for getting her operational."
"Her?" Amelia inquired with an eyebrow raised.
"Jaegers are like horses, you can tell a lot about them just by their movements. How they handle, what they can do, their quirks, you can learn a lot of things from being in a Jaeger." You answered, drawing from your previous experience as a Jaeger Pilot. Amelia looked at you oddly, but she didn't question it.
But you heard something else, the alarms blaring in the background.
A Kaiju had appeared.
Roll 1d10 for Scan.

Scanner Problems

It's okay, you can retry it during this battle.
...
Amelia nearly slammed her head into the desk when the scanners failed. "Are you kidding me?! What kind of shitty equipment are we using here?" She roared, and you nearly snapped the pencil you were holding. The scanners had malfunctioned due to weather conditions, the stormy weather knocking out the nearby scanners.
"Damn it, I want Wildcat Theta out there now! And get Fergus on the line, I want conventional forces on ground to assist the Jaeger." You were hoping this Kaiju wasn't too difficult, and you were thinking of what to do.
Note: Your Hellfire Projectors have a five unit range, and your Gauntlets are for melee and charging.
What do you do?
[] Deploy...
-[] Wildcat Theta
-[] Kaiju-Hunting Tank Battalions (105mm Cannons-1d10 Dice Roll: Accuracy, anything above 5 is a hit)
-[] Kaiju-Scout Choppers (Thermobaric Rockets-1d10 Dice Roll: Accuracy, anything above 5 is a hit)
[] Deploy them Where?
[] Try Scanning Again (1d10)
Visual confirmation is that the Kaiju is 130 Units from the Shatterdome, it is storming and you can barely see. (-1 on Ranged Combat)

You're going to try and surprise it with the Hellfire Projectors? Average Range, not as much as the Plasma Caster but still pretty good.
Alright, let's wait for the others and see what they think.
