About oh say a hundred years in the future, a colony has been set up on the moon and Helios, an international space station hangs in the starry sky. The separate programs have gone on long enough that the families of the workers there are allowed to live with them.
Catastrophe strikes. Suddenly the Earth is gone. There was no warning, nothing to even signify the cause. One moment the Earth was there. Then it disappeared. Now people that were only supposed to spend a decade in space were sentenced to an eternity.
Now it is fifteen years later. A tenuous government has been laid down and plans made for the continuance of the human race and further colonization. As far as they know, there is no life on other planets. They are the only bits of life left. In fear of a stagnant gene pool, a select few have been chosen to be transfered from their long time home to either the Moon or Helios respectively.

The Earth was gone. Yuen had only been a mere child at the time but the memory of it's sudden disappearance was still fresh in her mind. Even now, as she looked out of a nearby window, the place where it had once resided seemed so much darker than the rest of space. Arms snaked around her shoulders and a warm body pressed against her back, only thin sheet seperating the two. "Hey, you're not going to leave for another three hours so come back to bed. " She felt it was rather odd as her hand automatically reached to clasp one of his. She'd known this guy her entire life, had beat him up months after the incident, and had been one of the few to offer him comfort when his sister died from a virus strain that had gotten loose upon the space station, but even as she stood here , the heat from his body seeping into her back, he didn't feel like what she thought a lover should feel like. Pulling away, she sighed faintly and kissed his cheek. "Alright.. I guess I'm just nervous is all." Hours later she was standing with a few select others, encased completely in her special suit. If anything the last decade had afforded them to completely eradicate what the astronaut's outift composed of when they hadn't been among the last humans alive. "Listen up, people. You have been selected to live upon the moon colonies. All contact up until now with them have been through video signals only." Yuen tryed hard not to laugh at that. Officially yes the colonists, scientists most of them really, had never physically met with those that lived on the Helios spacestation, but supplies came in annually from the Moon and everyone knew the 'truckers' by name. The offical reason for her and four others being sent there was for politics. The real reason is both places were afraid, even at this early time, of a stagnant gene pool.
Name: Captain Yuen Hart
Race: Human
Age: 23
Personality: Rather callous, she says what comes to mind and rarely fears treading on other people's feelings. She's a good worker though and learns quickly enough when faced with new challenges. Loyal to a fault for her true friends. She keeps her hopes and fears to herself though.
Looks: Boyishly short strawberry bond hair coupled with black eyes. She stands about 5'7 and is well-toned thanks to the various physical jobs she's taken. Her breasts are a lovely 36 C and when not in uniform, she tends to go around bra-less, in a tank top and pants.
Skills: She's a bit of a renaissance woman as she's rarely had any set career path in mind. Therefore she's fluent in English, French, and German. Fairly proficient with engineering and computer tech, and is great with kids.
Bio: Her parents brought her to Helios when she was five and she barely remembers what Earth looked like. When she was twelve her parents died thanks to rampant engineered virus that had infected about a third of the crew before the antidote could be found. Since then she's lived alone, despite the few over night lovers.
