Alin Family History

The Alin family has its roots in the bachelor pad that later became the Singletoo household. Aaron, along with his best buds, Issac Keegan and Derek Tramontane, lived a carefree lifestyle in their small home until love took them all in different directions.

Aaron was the last to leave, staying on to help Derek with his twins-by-abduction until Derek found a good woman to fit the role of wife and mother. Aaron purchased a small home down the road and asked his girlfriend, the former Singletoo maid, Aiyanna Dallas, to move in with him.

The night before the wedding, Aiyanna went missing. Aaron was sure she was a runaway bride until she was found, sobbing and disoriented, on the street outside of their home. Aiyanna claimed she'd been abducted by aliens, and was never quite the same after the experience.

Aaron had never wanted kids, but Aiyanna never let up in her longing - or begging - to start a family. After Alexandra came into their lives, though, Aaron was a changed man. He loved his little daughter like he'd never loved before, and was elated when Aiyanna gave him a son as well.

Now if he could just get her over the alien crap!

Family Member Details:

Aaron AlinAaron Alin

Aaron briefly considered giving up a life of crime after his daughter was born, but he soon realized it was simply where he was meant to be. Aaron's good at what he does; and that's just that.

Though he loves Aiyanna well enough, her odd ramblings since the abduction have put a strain on their relationship and though he trusts her with the children, there's a part of him that worries she may one day lose all semblance of sanity.

In the meantime, Aaron has his flings on the side. Even if Aiyanna was of sound mind, he could never be a one-woman man. He loves his family, but Aaron also knows he has to keep himself happy.

Aiyanna DallasAiyanna Dallas

Aiyanna had her eyes set on the handsome, bad-boy her first day cleaning the Singletoo home. Derek was kind enough, but "too sweet" came to mind. Issac was quite a looker and charming, but he already had an alien girlfriend. There was just something about Aaron - the way he flirted with her so boldly - she was drawn to him.

Aiyanna knew she'd never marry an ugly man - it was too important to her to have beautiful children. And though Aiyanna didn't agree with Aaron's occupation, she knew he made good money. He could support her and a small brood, and that was all that really mattered.

After her abduction, Aiyanna tried to live a normal life - she tried to pretend nothing had happened, and, for awhile, she was able to immerse herself into the world of becoming a mother and changing diapers. Yet as the children grew, and Aiyanna had more time for herself, the alien nightmares returned to haunt her. It was when she knew she had to take action to put her demons to rest.

She began by lobbying the Strangetown government to put a warning label on all expensive telescopes and has recently started a support group, S.O.R.E. (Sims Observed Randomly by Extraterrestrials), for alien abductees to share their experiences. Aiyanna is wary of all alien and part-alien beings in her town and would like to see them vanished to an alien-only neighborhood. Her project "Green Has to Go!", though, has rallied few followers in the alien-friendly town.

Aiyanna is also writing a book on her experiences: Assraped by Aliens by Aiyanna Dallas Alin will be appearing on Sim store bookshelves soon.

Alexandra AlinAlexandra Alin

As a child, Alexandra tried to understand why her mother was a little nutsy - she supposed she would have been too if she'd been carted off by aliens the night before her wedding. But Alex went to school with lots of alien-ish people and they seemed ok to her.

Everything changed, however, when Alexandra became a teenager and fell in love with Nevin Tramontane. His and her fathers had been friends, even roomies, once and Alex was sure her mother would lose the hate-all-aliens act once she met Nevin and saw what a great guy he was. This, however, was not to be. When Alex tried to bring Nevin over for dinner to meet her family, her mother went into hysterics and forbid Alex from seeing him ever again. She immediately called the headmaster of a prominent, human-only private school (BJ Ryan, a former abductee who also happens to be part of Aiyanna's S.O.R.E. group) and had Alexandra enrolled that very night.

Though they go to different schools, Alex still sees Nevin every chance she gets - often sneaking out to do so (her father, who has "caught" her on numerous occasions as he comes home late from work, pretends not to see). The two plan to be married as soon as they finish high school. Alexandra has started her own small group at the new school for teens whose parents won't let them date half-breeds they've fallen in love with; she's named it G.O.T.I. (Green On The Inside).

Adrian AlinAdrian Alin

Younger and impressionable, Adrian gets caught up the most in his mother's rambling and thinks aliens are "bad and scary". Though the alien kids he knows are nice, his Mom says they're evil "deep inside", so he believes her. He just steers very clear of them.
