Introduction
Three arks were built, each a great space station assembled over many years. They were the Luna, the Sol, and the Terra, each named in honor of the moon and sun and life-giving planet of our origin. Aboard these arks were to be twenty-five pairings of men and women, the most fertile of Earth's inhabitants, for a total of one hundred fifty people. This, of course, was met with outrage by those deemed unworthy to live upon the arks, the last hopes for a continuance of our race.
Riots raged on the planet's surface; wars were fought, be they civil or inclusive. None of this mattered, however, for their lives were forfeit.
On the Appearance of the Asteroid
From the Files of the Great Ark Terra
At precisely 23:33 hours, the asteroid was first visible by Great Ark Terra. At precisely 23:42 hours, the object had passed out of Great Ark Terra's area of visibility. Communications to remain open between Great Arks Sol and Luna. [End transmission]
On the Destruction of Planet Earth
From the Files of the Great Ark Sol
At precisely 23:43 hours, asteroid first visible by Great Ark Sol. At precisely 23:47 hours, planet impacted by asteroid. *static* [End transmission]
On the Moments After the Destruction of Planet Earth
From the Files of the Great Ark Luna
Weeping *static* Sorrow, grief, loss. No hope. *static* [End transmission]
Two years have passed since the destruction of our home. People aboard the Great Arks have continued life as normally as possible, but they know of the dangers that hang over their heads. What are they to do when the food is finished? What are they to do when the water is reduced to the last droplet? What are they to do when their well of hope runs dry?
The only salvation from the fate of their fellow man is to find refuge on another planet capable of life. But is this possible? Is there a haven amongst the stars? Perhaps. We shall see.
Below is the necessary character skeleton. I ask for as much detail as possible, please and thank you!

And please don't be angry, but... "Good [evening], Starshine! The Earth says, 'Hello!'"
Re: [OOC] Exodus
On the subject of... eh hem... intimacy, we most certainly will timeskip them. There is a certain extent you are allowed to take it to(per the site's rules), and they usually draw the line once descriptive adjectives are used. Basically, kiss and touch a bit, but no graphic detail.
Re: [OOC] Exodus
Anyway, I have a few questions about character relationships. How do those work? Are we going to set those up while OOC and then play them out in the roleplay, or are we just going to let them happen? I don't know what the site's rules are on this, but how far is intimacy allowed to go? In sexual scenes, if any, would we just timeskip to after the characters take care of business?
Thanks.

Re: [OOC] Exodus
@Thorait: As I stated before, this isn't meant to be a typical Sci-Fi / Action RP. It's supposed to take a look at the human spirit under the most powerful of pressures. Perhaps in the future it could take on more mainstream fictional elements, but in the beginning I would like for it to focus on the situation's effects on the human psyche.

[OOC] Exodus
As it states in the "Rules" section of the first tab, "Exodus" is supposed to be a tale of the human spirit, be it in a time of triumph or downfall. It is designed to deal with the emotional impact the near loss of our species has on those that survived, and the impact of actual survival.
In short, this is not your typical "action" RP, nor is it your typical "romance" RP. It is not your typical "fantasy" RP, nor is it your typical "Sci-Fi" RP.
Exodus is your not-so-typical "human" RP, and of that almost unique quality, I am proud.
Therefore, I ask for people crazy enough to undertake this emotional task and bring to life those lucky enough to survive the end of the world.
