aloy | horizon zero dawn
PLAYER: Robyn
CHARACTER: Aloy
CANON: Horizon: Zero Dawn
AU NAME: Alison Sobeck
AU AGE: 20, she'll be 21 in April.
AU OCCUPATION: Going to school for environmentalist studies and...will gradually gain a more concrete interest in robotics, particularly the development of robotics to assist in environmental conservation. she wants to get a doctorate and is a huge overachiever (and a genius, lowkey) so she's likely going to be done with her bachelor's p. soon. currently works for the fish & wildlife services so spends a lot of time in recolle's national park.
BLURB: In canon, Aloy is from a post-post apocalyptic world, largely overtaken by nature, where machines are the apex predators and humans live on in primitive tribes. She was an outcast at birth, raised by a fellow outcast and surrogate father/father figure, Rost. She comes to discover that her actual lineage is a lot more complex and meaningful than she first believed, and is granted the title of Seeker by her tribe, thus allowing her to go out into the world and discover all of its secrets! And kill a lot of machines in super cool ways.
Although Aloy is from a pretty under-advanced society, she’s a fast learner, pragmatic, driven and brave. Also, for someone who was raised largely on the outskirts of her society, she’s surprisingly well-adjusted and thoughtful, thanks to Rost. An AU Aloy would first and foremost be socialized a bit more! So while she’s still blunt and to the point, she’s a little less “cut to the chase” than she is in canon, more easygoing, and some of her wanderlust is tempered by the practicality of a modern day world. She’s not especially extroverted, but has had a circle of friends throughout her life (some have rotated out and some haven’t) and is less isolated than she was in canon. Her intelligence and ingenuity I would like to gear toward a drive to making a positive change in the world, thus leading her to the field she’s studying. Aloy in canon has to grow into this role, but Alison will have been nurtured in an environment that would drive her to want to do it on her own. Part of this is because she has heard stories about her mother since she was a kid (who passed away when she was about three) and is inspired to emulate her. I’m not going to go too heavy on detail here because I’m trying not to spoil everything lmao. Her dad is actually not her birth father, he’s a family friend who adopted her at her mother’s death. Or at least that’s the story I’m going with. She was raised in Recolle but went away to school in Colorado Springs. Since she’s gone away to college, they communicate mostly via phone calls (he’s old fashioned and snail mails her sometimes too.) He’s currently having a long trip with a group of buddies across the U.S. (They’re visiting national parks), and Alison has transferred to a school in Recolle to continue her studies.
She’s really athletic in like, the hiking outdoorsy kind of way. probably white water rafts? Worked at a ranch for a spell in her senior year. Probably was kind of a smart ass all through high school, also was a bit more rebellious in general. She can and has hotwired a car (it was her dad’s car, she got in a lot of trouble.)
she was here for a time and then I dropped and now hopefully she will return!
LOOKING FOR: - ALL HER BUDS FROM LAST TIME. If you were in recolle before about November, there's a chance you know her!
- other enormous goddamn nerds
- were you once a robot and are you gonna turn into one, because if so, hmu so she can look at your robot brain eventually
- people with interests in robots/coding/other nerdy things i have to read a lot about are welcome too!
- more park workers! even part time camp counselors and so on would be welcome
OPTIONAL ENABLE ME: no one atm.

Also, speaking of people who will become robots, back when I was bringing Lillian in but before you dropped we talked about having some kind of dated before but now friends-with-benefits thing, did you want to keep that?
no subject
Yes, I remember that talk! After thinking about it, I'm definitely cool with "used to date," but maybe we can cut the fwb thing? Or revisit it at a later time.
no subject
And yes, that works fine!

futabatab is still only 17 but i'm sure she's known as that tiny kid hanging out on campus who's taking weekend classes far beyond her age group so that might be a good place to start?
