Nationality: Australian

Occupation: Junker/scavenger

Voice: Deep, commanding.



Personality: Sam is an unyielding man with an outwardly gruff manner towards most people. He isn’t cruel, but he doesn’t shy away from doing unpleasant things that need to be done for his survival and those of his group. He also doesn’t shy away from harsh discipline of those in his group, the only way he sees that he can keep order. He is not needlessly cruel though and isn’t in favor of those that are because they enjoy it. He will not overly expend himself for those that are helpless and doomed in the harsh environment of the Outback, but seems to have a bit of a soft spot for children, seen in his care over Skitter and younger Jamison Fawkes. He’s also an intelligent man with a subtle dark sense of humor, although most don’t get to see that side, instead seeing the Sam who maintains order over a group of Junkers, an often thankless and frustrating job.



Back Story: Sam grew up on a cattle station his father owned, and learned from an early age to work hard, be self-reliant, and how to stay alive in the harsh life of the Outback. He and his brother, Danny, inherited the station from their father when he passed away and the two worked hard to keep the place up as he had. Unrest grew though, and seeing the potential for trouble, he was one of those that installed a bunker for the station and those that worked there. When the worst happened himself and a group of those that worked at the station were able to survive the blast. His brother and many others didn’t survive the blast.

Upon returning to the surface some decided to stay on at what was left of the station, while others decided to try to strike out and see if anything was left. Sam stepped up and took charge of rebuilding the place, as well as setting up defenses and security against those driven mad as well as those that went out to take advantage of the chaos to take whatever they could. There were also scavenging runs of their own, to find more supplies. It was on one of these runs, early after the blast, that he encountered a younger girl who didn’t speak to him and seemed afraid, but later followed him back to the station, and would come and go but often returned, usually with bits of things she’d found on her wandering. Not having a name to call her he started to call her Skitter, and over time grew protective over her as though she was his own daughter.

Others also found their way to the station and it turned into a community of sorts for a group of the scavengers that would become known as Junkers. They were largely a savage bunch but for the most part gave Sam at least begrudging respect. Those that didn’t soon learned painful lessons on that front. For roughly the past two decades this has been his life, surviving in the wasteland that is the Outback.
