MARLEY MCKAY
Basics Age: 54 Birthday: August 16th Occupation: Cannabis Production Technician Born: Woodstock ‘69, New York Resides: Rural ✓ supportive, resourceful, wise ✗ distrusting, critical, cranky
Marley was born at the famous Woodstock ‘69, no really. His two young parents, Sandy and Jimi were among the crowds of peace and love chants protesting the Vietnam war. His whole childhood was as unconventional as his birth, being home schooled while the small family traveled state to state in their camper.
Growing up without much need or support from the establishment created an independent child that then grew to be a distrusting young man who definitely looked upon the rest of society with confusion. His parents ended up settling in a commune when Marley was eighteen, more than happy to create a network of support away from the norm.
The commune was where Marley met his partner and fell madly in love for the first and last time in his life. The rest of the community had relaxed and supportive views for same-sex couples, despite having strong opinions about the beauty of life. When the time was right for the couple, they were encouraged to choose a woman to carry their children for them to raise.
Marl was 27 when the twins were born, Silas and Willow and they continued to raise them on the commune for ten more years. Eventually the community opinion on same-sex couples was beginning to change, Marl and his partner could sense that things were about to get difficult for them real soon so they packed up their things and left for Colorado.
They purchased a small home and plot of land just outside of Lockwood Springs, growing produce and marijuana to earn their money. Their kids ended up in the public education system, despite Marl’s gripes and opinions and the rest is history.
Since cannabis was legalized, Marl cultivates his crops for dispensaries and has managed to make better money than before. So, he supposes some laws can’t be all bad.
Marl isn’t anti-social but sometimes people prefer to keep their distance unless they want their ear chewed off about bluetooth speakers listening to their conversations. Or the government essentially being a computer program since technology developed so much. He’s an acquired taste but doesn’t much care for people’s opinions anyhow.
His current project is expanding the doomsday bunker he built under their home and preparing for when society collapses on itself.
