↳ Yancy & Raleigh Becket

Yancy and Raleigh were born and raised comfortably in Anchorage with their mother and father. Their parents would take them on trips, traveling to such places as Munich and Budapest where they celebrate his brother’s eleventh birthday in Budapest, pretending to be superheroes with their mother’s lighter.

Yancy was eighteen and Raleigh was fifteen when Trespasser attacked San Francisco in 2013. He and his brother watched the attack as it was broadcasted on television. Some time afterward, their mother was diagnosed with cancer. Despite her illness, she continued to smoke cigarettes until her death at an unknown point. After she was buried, their father abandoned them. The two decide to forgo school to join the Jaeger Program.

There was blood in Raleigh’s eyes and a hole the shape of his brother in his soul.
