[MLA] Field Marshal Roy McKenney | Personal Log - Molly Liberation Army - 10-10-2017 Biography and Personal Logs of; Name:Field Marshal Roy Mckenney D.O.B: 774 AS Place Of Birth: Kilkenny Station, Dublin System Bio: A true Dubliner, Mckenney was born to a long line of miners and gold dealers. His family built and operated the successful Kilkenny station which, before the ore dried up, adorned the skies of the Mollys main mining field. Mckenney, as a benefit of his family's wealth, was able to pay his way into a scholarship at a mediocre University on Planet Los Angeles under the guise of a wealthy Libertonian lad, he made little friends during this time but progressed impressively through the system regardless of the poor teaching quality. Mckenney took classes in business studies and modern mining techniques as his parents insisted, but was also a dedicated member of the University's debate panel and several other extra-curricular activities, he was, in every sense of the word, a passionate student. By the time McKenney had left University the Mollys ore field had all but dried up leaving a financial strain on the once solid family, many of McKenney's family members moved to other, more prosperous systems, denying their heritage. But Mckenney, he was.. as i said at the start.. a true Dubliner. Seeing hope in a tightening trade he pushed forward with the remainder of the family's mining assets and the last few employees he could afford to keep on but pressure from the Bretonian Armed Forces soon ended his dreams for a re-ignited Kilkenny station and the company crumbled. Desperate and depressed, Mckenny, just as his father had done in hard times, took to the drink... Waking up in gutters and whore houses became a frequent thing, Mckenney was a mess. It wasn't until one fateful night in September 820AS that McKenny would meet with an old-time friend, and true Republican, Jim McCann. McCann was a wild man, he once flew a Rogue gunship into an escort of three BAF VHF's and an armoured transport screaming down the comms "I'm Jim McCann of the Molly Army and i declare war on you bastards".. He won that fight, and many more for the Molly cause but he, like so many others, had become tired and disrespectful of the Molly Council and it was this attitude that sparked a desire in McKenny to do more. That night the MLA was formed, it was agreed that, due to his education (and most likely financial position) Mckenney would lead the group from the front while McCann, though a skilful soldier, would follow him as second in command. McCann had formulated a plan to topple the Molly Council and allow for McKenney to take command but his plans were quickly thwarted, the Molly Council were not as ignorant as McCann would have liked to believe and soon caught wind of his plans, he was arrested and sentenced to hard labour, a rare treat for someone accused of treatment but a fitting punishment for someone who once enjoyed a fruitful life. Though McCann was unsuccesful in toppling the council he did, in his preparations, acquire a small army in military equipment through deals with the Liberty Rogues and a strong following of pure Republican Molly men. After McCanns abduction by the Molly Council Mckenney continued to move forward with the MLA and, in 821AS announced through the group's network of distributed paramilitaries, that they would no longer be taking orders from the Molly Council. Mckenney, now running low on ways to fund his growing Army must forge new relations with outsiders and new deals with groups considerate to the Molly cause, all while negotiating his group's grip on his home system as the paramilitary group grows and becomes more prominent to the Bretonian Armed Forces //The information held in this bio is available up to this point when linked to in other RP threads as a reference by an [MLA] member.

We have been working tirelessly in our efforts to build a force strong enough to topple the Bretonian empire's grip on the system but for what, as our Molly brethren weaken in their efforts it seems as though, to them, the war is already lost. That is not a view i hold myself, nor is it a view of the good men and women that serve under me.. no!.. for we are fearsomely strong in our patriotism. We have a burning desire that will not be dampened by agreements or treaties.. While the Galian invasion bears heavy on the front door of Bretonia it is time for us to strike. Too long have we fought with other groups, wasting time, energy, and valuable resources fending off a foe.. but the enemy of our enemy is our friend and we would do well to capitalize on that. We have been silent until now, preparing and readying our movement, soon the time to strike will be here
