Biography: Aaliyah Morgan was born to a life of ease and comfort- not on Mars, but on one of the floating islands on Venus. With an interplanetary superstar as one of her parents, many would have perceived the girl would follow in her father's footsteps. unfortunately, Justin Morgan- lead singer of the group Galatic Boundaries- had a few skeletons in his closet. A few years before Aaliyah was born, Justin had made a deal with the crime syndicate known as the Red Death; once he gained fame in the music industry, he would repay them the 500,000 Woolong debt he had built up from excessive purchases. Once he had achieved his goal, Justin abruptly cut off his ties to the gang, saying he didn't owe them anything. How wrong he had turned out to be, for once Aaliyah had turned 14, she was kidnapped by some of the Red Death members on her way to school. The ransom note attached to the car found at the site of the kidnapping demanded the payment of 10,000,000 Woolongs within two months for the return of Aaliyah, or she wold be killed to set an example to those who would defy Red Death or any other crime syndicate.
While Justin spent the next two months persuading the ISSP to find his daughter- with the ISSP persuading him to pay the ransom in order to find her- Aaliyah was the prisoner of Red Death, having been placed under the watch of 18 year old Remington Calloway, son of one of Red Death's prominent gang members. During the time she was in captivity, Aaliyah and Remington became close, eventually reaching the point where they were developing romantic feelings for each other. By that time, Remington decided to help her escape on the day her dad arrived to trade the ransom money. Aaliyah was confident that the crime syndicate would hand her over to her dad once the ransom money was paid. Unfortunately, the day before the tradeoff was to take place, Remington had delivered some bad news- after the money was paid to them, the guards would be given orders to kill Aaliyah without hesitation.
On the day of the tradeoff, a few members of Red Death left for the rendezvous point on Mars to collect the ransom money, and completely unknown to Justin, they didn't bring Aaliyah along. Unknown to the members of the syndicate, however, it was just the break they needed. While two of the guards were transferring Aaliyah to the room where she would be executed, a disguised Remington appeared and fought with them, right as the police were beginning their assault on the Red Death's main spaceship. While they were evading the guards, Remington and Aaliyah had reached the elevator where they would continue their escape; however, a few of the upper syndicates had caught up with the two. With no other choice left, Aaliyah was about to give up- that is, until Remington shoved his sword in her hands, pushed her into the elevator, and closed the door, sending her to the lower section of the ship. The last thing Aaliyah heard before the door shut were several gunshots.
After sneaking aboard one of the awaiting ships, Aaliyah attempted to steer it out of the ship and back to Venus while the officers were raiding the syndicate ship; unfortunately, due to her very poor piloting skills, she ended up accidentally crash landing on the Athenian, which belonged to Captain Koal "Apollo" Reaver- and he was not happy about a "stowaway" on his ship. He was slightly lenient when Aaliyah- partially- explained her situation; though it didn't stop him from making a U-turn back to Mars...where the SSP arrested her on sight. Upon questioning, Aaliyah found out the reason for her unexpected arrest: although her father had paid the ransom money for her release, the heads of the Syndicate had gotten word of Remington's death... which resulted in a 50 million Woolong bounty on her head for Remington's death- which she wasn't guilty of. During her trial, Aaliyah pleaded her case, and since evidence could not be found of her committing the murder, the judge decided to give her another kind of trial: once Aaliyah graduated from high school, she would be given three years to collect enough money to pay off the bounty by herself. If she gained the 50 million Woolongs within that amount of time- or if she found the real murderer and brought him in with proof of the crime- then all charges against her would me immediately dropped. However, if Aaliyah failed once the three years were up...her bounty would be reinstated, and she would be taken straight to Pluto after she was turned in to the authorities.
Five years have passed ever since the kidnapping incident, and during that time, Aaliyah had not only excelled in her studies, but also trained to become a licensed bounty hunter, despite her father's protests. Although she was okay in the other aspects, piloting included, Aaliyah did exceptionally well in marksmanship. Once she had graduated high school at the age of 17, Aaliyah set out on her own; however, instead of searching for a bounty right away, she sought out the man who had turned her into the authorities. After explaining the full situation to him, Aaliyah was allowed to become a crew member and work with Apollo and his crew until her bounty was fully paid off. During the two years she spent with the crew, Aaliyah had grown used to them, yet she knows the time is drawing near to pay off the rest of her bounty. At the same time, she desires to find out the reason for her kidnapping, to exact justice onto the Red Death Syndicate for what they did to her, and to give a huge and painful punishment to the real murderer of Remington.
