Lorewatch: Junkrat & Roadhog - Overwatch Lore & Speculation

Australia was hit as hard as any other nation in the Omnic Crisis, the coastal cities all but destroyed by the brutal conflict. This led to an overwhelming desire for peace in the aftermath, and with both human and Omnics attempting to rebuild the Australian government made a fateful decision - to gift the Omnium and much of the surrounding Outback to the Omnics. Over time the displaced populace would form the ALF - Australian Liberation Front - a militia with the aim of reclaiming their land. This new conflict came to a sudden and dramatic end with the destruction and resultant nuclear explosion of the Omnium. Even with the Outback irradiated and barren, the ALF did not abandon their reclaimed home. Instead they chose to stay, clowly succumbing to the effects of the radiation. Junkertown grew up in the ruins of the Omnium, a lawless and cutthroat society. Two of these Junkers are now running rampant across the globe, a duo of crime and chaos. Roadhog, former ALF member and Junkertown Enforcer alongside Junkrat, pyromaniac and keeper of one of the most valuable secrets of the day. Together no job is too big, no score too small, and they bring chaos and insanity to the world of Overwatch.
