Tom Barber

# Bio

Tom Barber was a survivor in Season 12 of the Oasis. He came to the Oasis young and confused. But soon after he got there he met a man named Ostrich. This man helped him get food and survive a little better with companionship. After a while Ostrich decided to recruit Tom to the Death Korps, his faction he was the leader of. Tom spent a good few weeks with Ostrich and his friends, making a good amount of friends along the way. After a argument about some unsavory actions Ostrich made Tom acted poorly and destroyed a truck owned by the Death Korps, which ultimately led to him leaving the group. After some time being homeless and wandering around the town of Altar Tom became very bored. That boredom was short lived as he eventually met some members of a group called NSK. After talking with them for a while he joined them purely for entertainment not thinking it would last long. He was right because after a few days with them he left due to shaping up to be the opposite of what Tom thought When he first joined. After leaving the same day Tom met a few members of a group called the 503 and joined them upon talking to a man named Melbourne Park. As Melbourne was running Tom through their rules and procedures Melbourne was suddenly gunned down in the streets of Altar. Tom avenged Melbourne by shooting the assailant with his trusty Mosin. That incident helped Tom gain a tremendous amount of trust and respect with his new found faction. A couples weeks go by and Tom and his faction join the section 17 agents which waged a war on The Miltia of Altar. After a few weeks of get acquainted with his new companions he met a new substantial figure in his life. A man by the name of Jimmy "Bar" Rock, who owned a Pub called The Doubleduche. Tom in the subsequent weeks would hang out at the Bar almost everyday, sometimes with his fellow 503 members. As they were acquainted with Jimmy and good friends with him. The war with the militia heated up and the agents and Tom ended up taking over Altar and winning the war. But near the ned of the the war while Tom was asleep for a few days Jimmy was killed and Tom grieved. Going to his funeral was bittersweet, Tom was not to broken up after because he knew Jimmy was in a better place. One with fine Australian beer, good food, and women. After that tom retired and lived out the last few weeks of the season sleeping and enjoying the view from the newly acquired Altar.

## Tom's Journal

Entry 1

I start my journal with quite a hectic day. Today was the final day of the agent event, where the windmills of altar were taken down and altar was left in panic. I woke up today in the section 17 headquarters, to a radio from Jesse “Nades” Roberts. The radio entailed “We are held up in the larger of the two altar apartments, head this way but be careful. Anything outside of the apartment is hot with militia troops.” So upon hearing the message on the radio i promptly suited up and had a rather uneventful run to Altar. When I arrived I entered the large apartment. Greeted by Nades and fellow agents of the wolves caliber. We proceeded to pop shots at people and raid a few Apartments.

The day really kicked off when my friend Sydney had to go to sleep for a period of time and asked if I could watch her apartment for the rest of the purge. After the fun and stress of raiding and fighting in the large apartment, I promptly accepted Sydney’s request. ( I needed a little bit of a breather anyway). So I retreated to smaller apartment building where Sydney’s abode was. I sat there for a few hours with nothing but base sorting to keep me entertained. Then out of the blue I heard sounds of wolves outside attacking a fine gentlemen. So I exited the apartment. When I came to the window of the stairs I saw the gentleman limping and surrounded by wolves. So like any fine person I ended his suffering and killed the wolves left from his fight. Then I retreated to Sydney’s apartment to continue sorting. But shortly after I heard a voice say “why’d you kill my friend” to which I replied “He was hurt so I ended his suffering” The voice did not take kindly to that, so it fell silent. Then a few minutes later I heard several voices, one of them saying, “ he’s at the top are you ready to do this.” They we’re getting ready to raid Sydney’s apartment and I couldn’t just let this happen. So I fought them with fellow agents and protected against the raid.

Entry 2

My time in the oasis has exciting things happen everyday and I enjoy writing them down in this journal. Recently I woke in Altar to gunshots, so I decided to check them out. It turned out to be a god raiding into an illegal apartment of the NSK, who were not supposed to have an apartment in Altar due to them being a faction. A lesson my faction the 503 also learned as our apartment got raid and cleaned out by the gods. But anyway I digress, so I asked the god if I could help him shoot through the gate to speed up the presses and save home some time. He promptly answered “sure” and handed me a SKS and some ammo to help. So went spent some time shooting until the gate broke. Upon inside I asked if I could take whatever I wanted (I was posing as a civilian since he was militia and if he were to know I was an agent I would’ve been executed right then and there). So he said “you can take whatever you want, fill your inventory then leave and don’t come back.” This excited me since I don’t have much high teir stuff and the NSK was loaded from robbing people around Altar. So I loaded up on much needed ammo in there, a pair of NVG goggles, a black SKS (to match my outfit) , and an assault helmet. When I left I said, “goodbye long, live the militia .” It worked they never suspected I was an agent and I got free gear from the enemy. They also told me the rest would go to the militia to better arm them for our war.

After that I went and deposited the gear at my base and went to check out Jimmy’s pub. I had not been yet and wanted to see what it was all about, as my fellow 503 members had told me it was fun. When I arrived no one was there so I figured they were all asleep. So in order to wait for them I went to sleep, hoping they would show when I awoke.

Today I awoke at jimmy’s bar after he let me sleep there for the night. It was cute Patar tucked me in and read me a traditional Indian bedtime story. Anyway when I awoke jimmy and Patar where not there so I went hunting in the surrounding area. It was a pretty successful hunt I came across a wide variety of animals. Namely I shot a White Bull, a Stag, a White Wolf, a Roebuck, and a Spotted Hen (pictured). I had a lot of fun hunting and got quite hungry so I went back to Jimmy’s bar to cook up the fresh food I got. When I arrived I met two people who looked like they had not been in the oasis for very long. They were two brothers, one named Alexander and the other Igor. So I chatted with them for a while and gave them some supplies, while letting them know to visit Altar. So after we talked for a while they left for the north to gather supplies. Leaving me by myself at the pub so, I lied down next to the warm fire and started writing in this journal. Overall today was a good chill day and I got to do some lax activities and talk to good folk.

I awoke in Jimmy’s pub once again today. Patar and jimmy were there we had some drinks and some laughs and decided to head to altar because they had to make a transaction with their beer . As we were leaving Waylon showed up. This was my first time meeting him, he brought me quite a few laughs. While also throwing back quite a bit of beer. So after chatting for a while he left and me jimmy and Patar went to altar. There we met D the trader, who was a nice man. That is all I can remember I had quite a few beers the night before. Oh I do remember I killed a Brown Cow, Wild boar, White Hen, and a Rabbit as well I crafted some tanned leather (pictured). But that’s about it.

Entry 5

Today I awoke to a radio frequency to all agents from Agent Fear. To paraphrase he basically said, “raiding a base at Gorka farms, if anyone wants to join.” It was the commonwealth compound. So I suited up and headed over. I arrived before the others so it was just me and Fear. I helped him shoot into a small barn that was separate from the compound. Which landed us some ammo for the big raid on the compound. Me and Fear moved to shoot the wall of the commonwealth compound. We got in after a while and checked out the interior courtyard. Then we decided to break into a house in the compound, which didn’t have much of anything.

So we waited for the other agents. As the others arrived we got shot at. One of our men had to be med evacted due to the shots. I got shot at but no hit and shot the threat when another agent finished him off. Thinking the threat was gone we all decided to keep raiding. We placed some ieds and grenades on the walls of the barn they had until we got in. Once inside we got a bunch of explosives and other useful stuff. And out of the 6-7 agents there we only had one med evacted and one injured. At the end of the raid we all left under the cover of night. I got a bunch of ammo, a grenade launcher, pox grenades, grenades, plate carriers, nvg googles, and ammo. But the important part is after the raid the commonwealth disbanded. Which was a big success to our cause. After the fun I dropped off the stuff at my base and went to sleep. Full of joy, because I had survived and fought hard for the agents!

Entry 6

It’s been a while since I’ve written in this journal. A lot of events have happened. The agents have taken over altar and squashed their enemy’s. Me and a few gawkers are the only ones who wake up much anymore in the oasis. But we did have a funeral for jimmy who sadly passed away. It was a sad but good time. A few of those who knew jimmy including me came to his pub for a ceremony. I cooked for everyone and we all shared some beer and laughs. Then Chuck started the ceremony. We shared stories of Jimmy and laughed about our encounters with him. At the end we had a 21 gun salute and all left our wishes with him. Everyone returned back to their respective bases with the thoughts of jimmy and how good of a man he was. He will be missed.
