The Combat Wombats

Backstory

Australia, 2175

The once great city of Darwin, Australia had been turned to ruins after several atom bombs decimated it in seconds. The rest of Australia was in worse shape, but Darwin was a major hub of trade and caravans in the north, and it was hard getting around. A local mercenary group had recently setup shop in the ruins of Darwin, and were usually hired to protect Caravans on their long trip to Collinsville towards the south. The mercenary group was nicknamed "The Combat ,'s", which they never really began with an official name before, so they began to take the nickname to heart. They were given the name because of their fearce fighting prowess, and tough as nails attitude similar to the creature they were named after. They wore typical wasteland clothes, but nothing that gave them that "official" mercenary company look like other mercenary groups. They looked more like regular settlers than mercenaries. But they had painted on their armor, a , leaping forward towards them with blood on its claws, and above that the name "Combat ,'s".

They were a group of misfits, each one was from a different part of the hell that Australia had become. Some had terrible childhoods, and others had more easy going childhoods, but not much.One thing they all had in common was that they were Combat ,'s, the greatest mercenary group in Australia, and they treated each other like family. They occasionally fought other minor mercenary groups that challenged their territory or just for fun. Raiders feared them when they were travelling the wasteland, and rarely fought with them. They were like a diamond in the rough, but this diamond had sharp edges, and knew how to use them. After several years of gaining territory, and destroying smaller mercenary companies, "The Combat ,'s" were in total control of Darwin, and their route to Collinsville and Alexandria.

Current Situation for The Combat ,'s

Darwin, Australia, 2184

The large cotton ball like clouds flowted through the sky, blocking the sun at times as they passed over the Combat ,'s hub in Darwin. The building looked like something you would see out of an old Spagetti Western or some sort of American Western. It was wood framed, surprisingly stable for such old wood and had stain-glass windows. It was two stories, the top floor was were they all slept, and the bottom floor was their business and recreation area. Inside it was more modern, old computers that hardly worked which held all their jobs: Past, Present, and Future. The main lobby was empty, the whole main floor was empty. It seemed like no one was alive inside. The kitchen where all the ,'s ate was empty, and so was the offices. Outside, the ocean crashed against the Australian beach, and a cool sea breeze blew in off the sea.

On the second floor, the several rooms that held the ,'s, each room held four, were silent of any noises except for the beds. Creaks from the bunk beds echoed through the hallway. It was just the beginning of the day, and it seemed that nothing was going to happen.

Synopsis: You play a mercenary working under the famed "Combat ,'s". Work is good, and that keeps your stomach full, and happy. Life seems perfect, and that nothing could go wrong.

It should be W-o-m-b-a-t's but its censored. Freddo is going to talk with the Administraitor's about uncensoring. Hopefully soon so it won't be so screwed up.

Also, this is the Sign-up thread. So post character sheets here.

His family had been living in the ruins of Collinsville but he was the first to decide to go out and explore the Outback. He came across mutated animals that were only native to Australia and still very dangerous. Some say he's on the verge of going ghoul, as he's been exposed to radiation his whole life, but nobody really knows. He's good with a gun and good with a knife, but he has a soft spot that stops him from doing a lot of things. He was saved by the Combat,'s a year ago and has been loyal to them since.

Personality: Tends to carry around a lot of food for everyone else, always nice and cheerful. Will kill the enemy but don't expect him to like it afterwards. He tends to like being the doc a lot.

OOC: Hello there. I was actually just thinking about starting a mercenary rp, but this looks fun so I'll join yours instead. Certainly has a more interesting location. I've never been to Australia, but I've been thinking of maybe going there someday on vacation. So yeah, I have no idea about pretty much anything in Australia, so you'll have to humor me if I make any mistakes. Also, I'm on a lot less than most people and can't afford to make, say, five posts in one day, but I'll do my best to keep up. The TES section has spoiled me. I'm too used to only making a post every three days. Oh, and forgive the terribly cliche character bio. I'm tired right now and don't feel like being creative.

Name: Jacob Morris
Age: 39
Gender:
Race: Caucasian
Appearance: 192lbs, 6'2", brownish-blonde hair, blue eyes. He has gaunt cheeks and overall has a tired look about him. He also looks like he never shaves and as such has a thick beard.
Clothing/Armor: A set of brown, leather armor with brown combat boots and gloves. He also has a set of glasses,http://www.flecktarn.co.uk/photos/asgsg5nx500a.jpg.
Weapons: An L2A1, a M1911A1, a combat knife, and two fragmentation grenades.
Misc: He carries a knapsack slung over one shoulder that contains ammo, a few bottles of water, some different meats of various taste levels, and a fantasy novel titled The Sword of Shannara.
Bio: Jacob was raised by his parents to be an upstanding member of the wastes of Australia. Which essentially means doing whatever is necessary to keep yourself alive and screw everyone else. It wasn't until his family was killed by a roving group of raiders for fun that Jacob truly went out of his way to interfere with other people's lives though. He hunted down the raiders and all of their families, even if they weren't raiders themselves, and killed them, all at the age of eighteen. Since then, he became a member of the The Combat ,'s only so that he'd get more opportunities to fight and kill raiders, which he has been doing for a good twenty-one years.
Personality: Jacob is something of a loner and dislikes having conversation or companionship, but when the time comes for combat, he's a perfectly functioning member of the squad, ready and willing to follow any order. And the more violent it is, the better. Something he picked up from the raiders he's spent most of his life hunting.

EDIT: Uhh, I'm not all that knowledgeable about guns, so I'm assuming these would be fine? I just did a quick scan of guns used by Australia on wikipedia.

OOC: Ummm... Just to say, shouldn't you be using weapons with a bit different names? I put up my first post 20 minutes ago, I just finished editing it with all the proper names... Just holler if you want a site with Aussie weapons... Cause it'd make it a bit more, what's the word? Ah, yes, realistic. Yes I know it's the sign up thread... But it's not like Max is gonna make an OOC thread cause he's offline.

Don't worry, your weapons can be modern day, they don't have to be WW2 weapons. I just like Enfields and Webleys. :) Also they can be almost anything really, Australia has a lack in weapons so Ak's and M1's are also welcomed.

Anyway, I think we can begin when everyone is on. More are always welcomed.

Well it should be common sense that when speaking Out Of Character, you use "OOC", and when posting after an "OOC" you post In Character.

Threads like that aren't allowed. The only one that has one is The Immortal Blood Timeline, and that's because of special circumstances.

Ok how about this.

Anyone posting on this thread from now on, should and will, only post a character sheet to be accepted.

Also, everyone who's posted is accepted. Welcome to Wasteland Australia. And also for those that are not familiar with Australia, and its geography. Watch the Mad Max Trilogy. The landscape will be similar to that for the most part, but forget about the Methane powered dune buggies.

Misc: Mysterious Note, Food and Water, Ammo.

Bio:
After years of working with the Mercenary Group known as QANTAS, working out of the eastern parts of australia, known as the Queens Land, ruled by a sadistic raider matron who called herself the queen, sandra gave up trying to help, instead she decided to leave this place for a town named darwin, acording to rumours it was full of traders, all in need of protection, after she had scraqed up some debts she was owed, she bought food for travel, and met up with some traders heading that way, it took them one long month of trekking and fighting off dingoes, and raiders but they finally made it to the metropolis of darwin. it was nothing like she expected, where towers where supposed to be there were brothels, where there was hospitals there were pubs and clubs, this place was nothing like she had heard, immediately she planned to go back to the Queens Land. That was when she met Jonathan Vice leader of a merc group, she decided to make some caps, instead of going back. Since then she has worked her way up the ladder of The Combats.

Personality:
Loner, after years of being ostracized for being so tall, she has started to hang out with herself, if she makes a freind, it would have to have been after years of working together, many people around her seem to die on a regular basis, when she was a captain in the Armed Forces of QANTAS (named after some pre-war company, sounds gay (lol)), she was nicknamed the Black Cat, whenever someone new joined her squad, they usually ended up dead. Because of her loner like qualities, and lack of freinds, some tribals think she is a psycic, making the way of the battle turn to kill those she doesn't like.

I live in Australia, and I agree that Darwin isn't really 'great', Sydney on the other hand...

Anyway, this could get rather stereotypical with all the people who thinks Aussies (Can't believe my spell check tried to change Aussies to Pussies) are Steve Irwin clones and we all ride around on kangroos so I'm not touching this with a ten meter pole. lol
