Chapter 3: Red & Blue
(Beginning of In play history)
Mandalore had been sundered by the sith sometime prior, Systematically killing mandalorians in the millions. Aloy was one of the lucky survivors who had been away at the time, And continued to hunt bounties outside the sector. There was only one rule Aloy abided, One shining moral etched into her darkening heart:
She would never hunt a mandalorian.
The Red Rancor gang hired her and a team of their own bounty hunters to pursue a target on the planet Abafar, Though they did not inform Aloy of who, Just that they would approach the location and capture the target.
The target was none other than Darsch Vizsla, An Ex-Death Watch member who was once loyal to Mand'alor the Infernal despite the red coronation.
When Aloy caught site of her mandalorian armour, She demanded the right to parley with her rather than resort to violence, And began negotiations with the Vizsla.
Seeing Darch mourning the loss of her partner, Killed by bounty hunters for their assassinations of sith warlords, Aloy became guilt stricken and sided with Darsch Vizsla, Turning on the bounty hunters in what quickly became a two-woman massacre.
Rather than parting ways, The two mandalorians joined forced and became the bounty hunting duo known as "Red & Blue" on account of their armor, Having a somewhat successful career after.
Their adventures took them all across the outer rim territories, And the two developed feelings for one another. Aloy however, Was too afraid to ever say.
This came at a price when their adventures took them to the planet Krieg on the eve of it's Queen's coronation.
For Darsch Vizsla, It was love at first sight, And when offered a place among the Queen's warriors, She quickly set aside her bounty hunting career.
Jealous and unable to bear this new dynamic, Aloy set out on her own, Returning to an uneventful bounty hunting career.
Years past and Aloy met Tan'yill, A rutian twi'lek and kindred spirit that would change her life forever.
They met on the job while assassinating a rogue black sun agent on Ord Centrell. Tan'yill and Aloy both used their old bounty hunting names from partnerships prior, Which just so happened to be "Red & Blue" respectively, Drawing the two in immediately. Tan'yill being high and naturally mischievous in that state was having fun flirting with and teasing the mandalorian, Who responded in kind as she enjoyed the dynamic. They made fast friends that day.
But with the threat of betrayal from their own employer, The two were forced to gamble with their lives and put complete trust in one another. Neither would disappoint.
They continued working together after that, Eventually finding themselves on Felucia while hunting another rogue criminal. They became stranded when the remnants of the red rancor gang found and destroyed Aloy's ship. Tan'yill and Aloy traveled through the jungle for many days, Fighting bounty hunters, Natives and Rancor alike, But it was the calm within a cave of fireflies that Aloy remembers best, Where she first truly realized her feelings for the Twi'lek.
She was later wounded while fighting a Rancor, And it came to Tan'yill to finish the beast using Aloy's jetpack missile.
After fighting their way off world, Aloy confessed her love for Tan'yill, And they have been together ever since.
