I took the basic premise from a shitty tv show, but changed a lot. Maybe it's cheesey, but it sounds really good in my head.
It would be about how on earth there was some calamity that happened a long time ago, and up in space a last vestige of humanity from before remained, a space colony that was hurriedly made in anticipation of the event. The colony has became bureaucratic and draconian in an effort to preserve order and resources throughout the centuries, but now they're near the end of their rope and need to go down to earth or die. They have next to no idea what's down there now because of story reasons. Overall, they have no optimism about their chances of success.
They decide to send 30 of their worst performing, or delinquent students, the people least valued in their society, as a preliminary test, to see if earth is survivable. Among them is a human experiment, the main character. The space colony had a research department for the sake of advancing humanity, and the culmination of their biological research was a genetically modified super soldier, the daughter of their lead geneticist, a cold and sadistic woman. The mc was grown in an incubator and has no father, basically being a modified clone of her mother.
At first she was diligent and trained/studied hard, but started to crumble under the pressure her cold, ever criticizing mother and other adults put on her, the complete lack of meaning she saw in her own life and the isolation from her peers she felt. She started drinking and slacking off excessively, eventually giving up on putting in any effort at all. As punishment, she was being kept in a holding cell for months already, which she didn't really mind. She was fine laying on the flood and staring into the ceiling in a daze all day, only really missing alcohol.
So they get sent down to earth, with vague instructions and little training. They've been extremely repressed their entire lives, so even the delinquents are like scared mice. Earth has transformed into an overgrown, fantasy like setting with bizarre races and cultures scattered about, most of which being superstitious and hostile. The organizers of the mission secretly expected the mc to take control of the group and lead it despite her current state, but because of story reasons, an adult male stowayayed on their ship and takes charge of it instead.
Some stuff happens and the mc sets off with a small group of companions she makes. At some point, something horrible happens to the colony, leaving the group sent completely cut off. The mc's mother and some other people try to come to earth, but their small ship malfunctions, killing everybody on board. The mc never gets closure with her mother and from then on is sometimes haunted by memories and visions of her or her voice criticizing and mocking her.
The mc and her companions goes from place to place, struggling and fighting/strategizing constantly against their hostile environment. Her companions slowly get killed off and replaced over time, making the mc more and more despondent. She can't cry and all of her emotions are somewhat muted, but she can feel frustration and self-loathing plentiful. Maybe there would be a happy ending, where she finds a nice place to settle down in, or maybe she'll keep on suffering with no end in sight.
