“ultimate awesome compatible drift team right here!!”
tfw you and your drift partner saved the world and you guys are still alive
this is my secret valentines gift to @icequeenfirewarrior who wanted a tipo au in the pacific rim verse and despite the fact that the suits nearly killed me her it is!
some back ground stuff that I thought of while working on this
despite how they look in the pic their beginning was…. lets say rocky. Tigress had actually been apart of the famous ‘fury five’, the only jaeger to drift 5 people her, crane, monkey, mantic, and viper and was one of the best out there, until a bad level 3 kaiju nearly killed them. While the five lived the jaeger was completely wrecked and would take many years to repear which left them having to group off.
Tigress was the one left out with monkey and mantis paring off, crane partnering up with his girlfriend mei ling, and viper teaming up with rookie mei mei. It wasn’t that she was a bad piolet, infact she was considered one of the best, however her fierce style made it hard to be compatible. Enter po who after seeing the fury five take down a kaiju for the first time ever had inspired him to be a jaeger piolet so after many many tries po succeeds into the program and even, albeit barley, make it on the short list of potential drift partners for the tigress. Of course he thinks that he’s not compatiable with her and she’ll think she’s wasting her time as soon as he steps into the rink, boy are they wrong.
Surpring everyone po actually keeps up with her and even beat tigress a few time however rare it is, and bam, head of the jaeger program oogway declares that they are compatiable and that they will operate the ‘dragon warrior’ the jaeger that is predicted to stop the kaiju war. Of course the shouts of ‘what’ is echoed around and nearly everyone is against this, especially tigress, but after training po and learning that there is more to him, it does work out as a yin and yang partnership and they prove them selves to be the best of the best
somewhere on the ‘dragon warrior’ jaeger is a spray painted dragon and white lily
any way I hope this was to your satisfaction and good day
also cookie to anyone who gets the colors
