Kelly Dean/3.0

Bondi 'Til I Die.
Kelly Dean is a character role-played by Leonarwho.
==General Description==
Kelly Dean is a Patched Member of the Bondi Boys Motor Club.
==Personality==
Kelly is friendly and charismatic. He likes to keep himself busy, doing dirty business deals, cleaning dirty money, grinding materials, and running boosts. He likes being taught anything people offer to teach him. He has a distaste for law enforcement, only abiding by the law if he is with others who aren't criminals.
==Background==
Kelly was born and raised in Australia.
His parents, Jack and Lily, both passed away in a car accident while he was young. He has no personal memory of what they were like—only stories told by others. As his next of kin, his uncle William took him in and raised him to the best of his ability.
Throughout his childhood, he learned how to defend himself after being bullied at school. He came home with fewer bruises but a smile on his face after being told by William that he was proud of him, regardless of the school reprimanding his actions. This awoke the chaotic side of himself; he enjoyed the feeling of adrenaline and thrills. William bought him a dirt bike, teaching him how to maintain and repair it.
He left his high school education early to help with his uncle's club. Although it seemed like a clean pub at first glance, that was just a front for it being a criminal fencing hub for drugs, stolen goods, and weapons. Customers would ask for an unlisted drink, and business deals would happen beneath the building, in the underground cellars. Kelly quickly learned the trade, creating his own deals with the connections he'd make in bar tending.
Decades after his parents' passing, William was killed by law enforcement after it was revealed he had learned the car accident involving Kelly's parents was never an accident but a cover-up hit. His father had been collecting evidence against his colleagues, revealing corruption within the department, and had plans to reveal all of this to the national intelligence agency before he passed away days before he could attend the meeting.
A colleague of his father who knew of the complete orchestration over time became overwhelmed with guilt, so the man confessed to William. He then killed the confessor out of rage as his killers showed up at the door to get rid of them both, leaving him to try and survive against the attackers. Unfortunately, he was unsuccessful but managed to scar one of them with his knife. Bleeding out on the floor, he mustered the strength to call Kelly, apologizing and saying he loved him like he was his son, dying with his phone in hand.
He returned home that night to find William, closing his eyes and laying him to rest. Beside him, he found a police badge. He went to William's pub and was planning to burn it down as well when three police officers walked in asking for a drink.
He told them it was closed for the night and to get out of the pub. Regardless, they continued bothering him, dismissing his anger. Looking down at the colt python beneath the counter, he noticed one of them was wearing William's dog tags around his neck, stained with small specks of blood and lacking a police badge like the rest of them. Kelly reached for it and shot the two officers besides him before they could after the man began to joke about how they both had dog tags, going pale and quiet halfway after reading his former colleague's name on it, then looking up at Kelly and realizing the resemblance between father and son. Within an instant of the shots, the man broke a nearby bottle and struck Kelly across the face, leaving him unable to see out of his left eye momentarily and dropping the gun onto the wooden floor. In retaliation, Kelly tackled the man across the counter, pried the broken bottle from his hands after a violent struggle, and used it to mutilate and kill the man.
After retrieving his uncle's dog tags from the man's neck, he left in a hurry. With nowhere else left to go, he gathered all the belongings and money he had left, purchased an ocean liner ticket, and made the journey to Los Santos in search of a new chapter.
==Life in BBMC==
Kelly was offered the BBMC Hangaround Challenge by Ophelia Dawson on February 14th, 2023. In less than 24 hours, he returned and handed over $75,000 from committing financial robberies, cornering street drugs, and selling illicit goods such as firearms and handcuffs, and he was accepted as a Hangaround on February 15th, 2023. 
Kelly was invited to be a Prospect of the BBMC and received his jacket on April 22nd, 2023, alongside prospect Flops Rainman.
Kelly made his decision to stay behind as the club went to take part in the Sanguine Isle War and fight the government in defense of the island. Although a great effort was made by the resistance, they were defeated by the government and were incarcerated for 30 years without due process. Kelly managed day to day alongside jackets Collin McKinley, Edbert Ropeburn, Cora Star, and hangarounds Jessi Adler, Rein Synnefo, and Theodora Thatcher.
Kelly was promoted to a Patched Member of the BBMC and received his patch on September 30th, 2023, alongside patched members Benny Razer, Cora Star, Flops Rainman, Rue Minmi and Sean McQuillen and prospects Jessi Adler, Rein Synnefo, and Theodora Thatcher.
Kelly was sentenced to five years of incarceration after being a target in the Los Santos Police Department's RICO investigation, where SASP Sergeant Jack Ripley issued a warning for RICO to the Bondi Boys Motor Club to cease their criminal activity and disband all operations. After receiving a verbal threat from the club stating that they'd need to take Vespucci before they ever stopped, they fought them in Vespucci and took part in a five-hour standoff. Ultimately, the PD force won the siege while losing a few of their own in the process.
The club's name and reputation grew quiet, attempts were made to continue the club but the PD presence within Vespucci made it difficult.
Kelly was sent back to Australia to serve his sentence, where he would become protected and respected as he would be a middleman for several prisoners within the correctional facility. After he was released, he tried to integrate back into society but felt like he was in a foreign land; it was no longer a place he once knew as home. Seeing as he felt lost, he made the decision to return home to Los Santos, where he would try and find those he once knew.
