So, I've been a bit bored, a bit creative, and a bit crazy. I've been reading up on some yaoi and thus an idea spawned... Although a bit more open-world... And while it does have a plot, the people playing in my little game will have to sort through it to see what's going on and how things will play out... Also, I've noticed that whenever the plot of a story is known or expressed, the threads sort of shove through it. Since I'm trying to avoid that and come up with something with a bit more character-development, I'm going to see if not saying directly what the plot is will help...
The manga I was reading at the time of 'BOOM-OMG-AN IDEA!' is Madness. I only plan to take a few elements from it, though. Namely, the fighter-suppress pairing and the idea of a bounty hunting system.
I would like approximately four to eight people for this. Since the characters are such that they're generally paired, in the event of uneven numbers, a suppress or fighter may find themselves suppressing or being suppressed by a character already in a pair.
Now, suppresses may choose their own form of suppression... Whether it be surprise headbutts, kisses, bodily advances, or even bribery (food, money, etc).
Sometimes a fighter and a suppress are a couple, but this is not always the case. They can be friends with benefits, friends, or even strangers (such as when they first meet).
It's also important to note that not all suppresses and fighters are compatible. Some fighters can only be suppressed by people or things that they love... A fighter will stop attacking if his lover takes his attention, for fighters with very strict suppress requirements. A fighter with a vast set of requirements might have several suppresses merely in the form of a person offering food or money or something else.
Now, in 3046 A.D., the world itself is barren. There are few, if any cities, and only one that is particularly large. There is no magic, but there are some fields of superior technology such as technological and chemical, but some aren't distributed due to a lack of resources. Cars are extremely rare, for example, because of the lack of resources to build the vehicles themselves, and also in order to maintain them. For the most part, people live in small towns. Farmland has also become a bit more abundant all around due to a strange, chemical experiment gone wrong. The drug, HRX-119, swept across the globe, killing tens of millions of people and greatly reducing the population. A side effect of the drug, however, is that it greatly revitalized all the earth it passed over, giving plains and other such flatlands strong potential to yield crops.
Crime also runs rampant. Most fighters are either bounty hunters or on the run from them.

The purpose of this thread is to gauge interest, recruit, and also to organize. In interested, please say as much. Have any questions? Ask!
My only requirements are such:
Literacy. I don't expect walls of text or anything like that. Two or three paragraphs is fine. A minimum of ten sentences. Less, if you can make it work. However, I expect to be able to read your post once and understand what it is that you are saying. I should not have to read it more than twice. Grammar, spelling, and the ability to appropriately form sentences and paragraphs is necessary for this particular roleplay.
Respect. I don't mean for you to respect each other. Or rather, I expect you to do that already, but I'm not going to enforce that. That isn't my job. What I mean by respect is that I expect you to read each others' posts! I have seen roleplays become increasingly convoluted and confusing because people don't read each others' posts and execute actions for the same purpose or other things. So, if you'd like to join me in this little journey, please expect to read your fellows' posts.
Understanding. If someone cannot post, fine. Please let me know. If you're going to be out for a period of time, this is also fine. As the "God" of the world, I will find a way to discretely retract you from the plot for a while. When you return, merely let me know, I'll inform you of what may or may not have happened with your character, and you can re-insert you. However, if you are not able to post for a period of 72 hours or greater, I fully expect you to inform me. If someone is out for such a length of time, I will find a way to pull their character out and that person will have to contact me to re-insert that character.
Awareness. If I see your character doing more than I feel is appropriate, I will come up with a creative - or not so creative - way to kill it. I might poison, assassinate, etc. your character. It's very easy to just say, "Rocks fall, ____ is dead." So kindly do not godmod. Also, keep personal fights personal. And out of the roleplay!
And now... For those who made it past all of that... Interest and questions? If you're interested, please tell me whether you'd like to play a suppress or fighter. Thanks!

It looks to be quite an intresting one
