musetime[When he was small, giant monsters and robots were popular in children shows. It wasn't real though. Just silly, campy stories that kept the interest of little kids and was good merchandising.
It isn't until Keith stared upon a crushed orphanage and too shocked and deafened to the screaming and chaos around him to fully take in what had happened. The first Kaiju attacked that had hit Japan and devastated the poor island. At the time, he was too terrified to move. Too scared to do anything. How he lived was a complete blur.
That was then though. At age eighteen, Keith had become the youngest Jaeger pilot and probably continues to be the youngest one to date. Things were good. Exciting. And he wouldn't lie that he didn't want to beat the shit out of the same beasts that had shaken his world years ago. He didn't think that they would manage to shake things again though. It's very rare for pilots to survive when the helm where they were in were breached. It didn't happen. How Keith was able to pull his partner out with their life and handle the neural stress of completing the mission on his own was a miracle.
It also lead to one of the best teams to retire early.
Takashi Shirogane, or Shiro for everyone at base, became a good man in the command room. Keith? He wasn't going back into any robot. No one was going to make him either.
It's why he's currently sitting at the edge of the mats with a bo staff and watching new recruits. As the combat specialist, he was now in charge of overseeing all the upcoming pilots, pilots, and anyone else in fighting. He also oversaw drift compatibility between recruits and who were good enough to get into a Jaeger.]
Hey, what did I say about horsing around all of you. [He finally gets to his feet.
The biggest problem with being only in his early twenties? No one likes listening to someone that young. Of course, it doesn't help that he hasn't introduced himself by name and only as an instructors. The ones that listen are the ones he assumes can recognize his face enough to know he's an ex-pilot.]
