Collier family

Original characters (Rorykurago; Kurago!AU)
== Quick Facts ==
Father, Flight Lieutenant Derek, a test pilot; Mother, Airwoman Fiona, a Mark-I construction tech;
* Experienced combat pilot and maintenance technician; Both brought in for different aspects of the Jaeger Project (before it properly became the Jaeger Program).
* Derek had good sync rates with life-long friend Flight Officer Walter Sorvino 
** Sorvino taunted Fiona into getting onto the Kwoon mat with her husband shortly after the pilot candidates started being paired up. They turned out to be battle marrieds, and Sorvino stepped back to be an alternate co-pilot if needed. 
* Family creed (for better or worse) is "Anything less than your absolute best is dishonouring the dead."
* Kurago!AU: Tasmania Venator, HK up to March 2016
** Cat-II Rako off the coast of Indonesia; got off a lucky shot that Venator didn't duck, half-crushed the Pod and damaged the gyros. Being a Mark-I, this was before they upgraded the stabilisers and inertial dampeners and… well. You know what happens when a metal cage falls twenty stories. Derek survived; Fiona didn't. 
** Derek returns to Kodiak Island for decontamination, rehabilitation, and psychological evaluation. He convinced General Krieger he was good to go with Sorvino, but had mixed feelings about his daughters' decision to continue Pilot training. (In September 2017, he asks Sorvino to deliberately trigger the memory of Fiona's death during a compatibility test with then-partnerless Dana, forcing her to RABIT and putting her off finding an alternate co-pilot.)
