TYPICAL WALKING DEAD

Being primarily a freelance Mercenary guild, every member of Walking Dead has extensive combat experience and military training.  While most members of the group are active, and spend more of their time on assignment than at home, the Pit also serves as a home to retired or recuperating members, offering them a sense of community and purpose by employing them as advisers and trainers.  The pit also houses members families if they have wish, though most prefer to set their families up in safer more accessible neighborhoods. 

The civilians who live in the building are offered the opportunity to take classes in firearm safety and shooting, as well as survival training.  These classes are offered free as part of the rent agreement.  The teaching of these classes is usually relegated to newer members, both as a service to the building, and so the senior members of the group can judge their abilities.

While the group requires at least some amount of combat experience and military service, there are many roles in the group which do not necessitate further combat exposure.  Communications, intelligence, medical, and engineering specialists, mechanics, pilots, and all manner of support personel are valued.  Granted, the combat specialists get to take home a bigger cut, usually 60% of the contract fee for any given deployment, as opposed to the 20% for non combat roles.  The rest of the money goes into the group funds to maintain equipment and other costs.  While the dichotomy may seem strange, all deployment is on a voluntary basis, and this arrangement has made Walking Dead operatives some of the highest paid and most secure freelance mercs in the business.

The insignia, or colors, for the Walking Dead is a patch of a skeleton holding a drink complete with umbrella and fruit wedge.  The patch comes in an assortment of sizes, and stickers are available as well, both for personal use, as well as a calling card to leave behind when necessary.
