Pacific Rim OC doots!

Meet Tommy and Benny Harlow

Tommy (they/them): Electrical engineer and wannabe programmer

Benny (he/him): baker extraordinaire keeping Tendo supplied with bagels

I HC that the PPDC has a pen pal program where they encourage their employees to find someone at another shatterdome to write letters to in order to encourage camaraderie while they work to save the world

This is how these guys met. Tommy worked at the AK shatterdome and picked Benny from a list of randoms - begrudgingly, they thought it was a dumb, waste of resources, program. Benny worked at the Australian shatterdome and was shocked that anyone would pick a random baker to correspond with

They miraculously hit it off from letter two. Thus they embarked on their own 5 year passionate and fascinating letter romance. When resources were drastically cut they were both moved to the Hong Kong shatterdome. They got hitched not long after meeting IRL

More Pacific Rim OCs!

Benny Harlow (né Kaye) (he/him)- baker extraordinaire, making the finest bagels this side of the Ring of Fire (unbiased opinion from one Tendo Choi). Originally from the Sydney Shatterdome, moved to Hong Kong when the program was shutting down.

Tommy Harlow (they/them/any pronouns really) - jaeger mechanic/technician, ADHD’er-extraordinaire with seemingly preternatural abilities around all things mech (their words). Originally from Anchorage Shatterdome, also moved to HK when the program was shutting down

These two were pen pals (I HC that the PPDC encouraged and assigned people pen pals across the shatterdomes, for those who wanted to participate, to encourage camaraderie across the program) before then advancing to texting every day to twice a week multiple hours-long video chats to begging to be reassigned together at HK to meeting in person and instantly knowing they were meant for each other to getting hitched because “hey it’s the end of the world, why not?”
