Wishlist. POST ADVENT CHILDREN IDEA.

Tired of living a life behind a counter and waiting for a mess to clean Tifa slowly comes up with an idea in a ShinRa-free world for individuals who can not find work in the new world (those who only know battle with some other handyman work ethic they weren't able to use before) called 'Jaegers'.

Its a contract-less freelance type of mercenary job that requires the dispatching / hiring of certain individuals who would fit the criteria of an individual's issue. (Ex; monster extermination while repairing a roof. Finding a missing kitten while taking out the large fiend holding it hostage and picking up some eggs at the grocery store etc. They are paid for ALL of it.)

The mercs assigned to the client earn the cash and are to split it down the middle between them. They are to go in groups and watch each other's back. This also gives them the freedom to do their own base of operations within their group. They can easily create a branch and begin hiring underlings of their own while paying their employees however they see fit. (Tifa is strict about being fair as well. So its not uncommon to have the big boss lady appear at other bases)

The only thing Tifa strictly expresses is that, if any of her jaegers commit a felony, or turn on their client, that is a self-motivated crime and the company will not be responsible. Only the person or persons who committed the act is getting the boot. But that's the unfortunate risk when hiring a jaeger.

Anyone can hire them. And yes, that includes ShinRa. Even if the reason goes against whatever they stand for. However. Jaegers are not bound by a contract. They are bound by their pay. And once that paycheck is given to them, they are not your ally anymore. If they choose to retaliate, they will retaliate.

Anyone can apply. And yes, that includes Turks and other ShinRa operatives if they want a little more cash on the side. There are no prejudices. Just pay. People need to make a living somehow, and people need help adjusting to the new way of life.

Tifa's branch (The Red Constellation) is the main branch of jaegers. Jessie, Wedge, and Biggs have enlisted, (using ff7r as base so they're still alive) and are now operating under Tifa's command to provide extensive training to newbies, weapons distribution, and analyzing their manpower to bring about better devices to aid them on their excursions.

The jaegers aren't to be taken lightly, however. Some of the employees are ex-SOLDIER, hardened criminals wanting to right their wrongs, missing turks who need to make a living within the new world (no one is aware because they're still secretive xD) and so on. They have a reputation for being stronger than ShinRa's SOLDIER due to their past experiences, and are more than willing to share what kind of knowledge they have in battle / tech / whatever they assume can be useful to their fellow jaeger.(Save for some few sourfaced losers that do try to snake their way in jaeger territory to get their hands on weapons and what have you just to wreck havoc. Ofc they're intercepted almost immediately because of Jessie's technology. The weapons lock up if the device detects its power isn't being used properly. The perks of having a technical genius such as Jessie!)

So. Here's what Tifa's little 'business' looks like.

The Red Constellation - MAIN BASE - BOSS LADY QUARTERS

-The boss. But really isn't the boss. Basically mom.

-Takes any client who will hire her group.

-Made up of her former AVALANCHE gang. Is sometimes hiring her own friends who need the extra gil.

-the most requested branch.

-They can fix most things, have connections,

Zephyr - Branch I

- Main focus is monster extermination. Specifically overpowered monsters.

- Group made of 2 ex-SOLDIERs (2nd class), 1 totally not a turk, and 3 former criminals

- They can easily repair houses, heavy lifting, construction work, and fire extinguishing.

Chameleon - Branch II

-Masters of disguise. Main focus is infiltration and information seeking.

-Made up of 4 Turk dropouts, 1 former infantryman, and 3 former ShinRa security guards

-They can locate missing children / elderly people, gathering supplies and offering aid to the needy, offers free healthcare to those who request at a fraction of the cost.

Oroboros - Branch III

-The muscle of the group. Only used for exceptionally hard, or rather impossible battle feats.

-Made up of 4 wutai veterans, 6 of Hojo's former assistants, 2 SOLDIER dropouts (or deserters), 1 of Scarlet's personal assistants, Kunsel

-They are usually just there for the slaughter. Save for Kunsel. He just gives everyone the deets.

Blue Star - Branch IV

-The medics.

-Made up of several scientists, 3 doctors. 3 Nurses.

-Offer medical assistance for on-sight relief

-Offer rehab for mako junkies

-They can fight well enough but oroboros isn't that far away from them.

Again. ANYONE can hire these people. They are not tied to anything. Just your money. And in some instances, they are NOT cheap.

However, the branches have noticed their boss has been talking to President Rufus an awful lot... is she going to let him buy them out?

Bonus for fun: You’ll know you’re near a jeager when they yell “JA!” as an acknowledgement of an order given.
