I want to run a social rp where your characters would try to make it big in a complicated and ruthless society through a combination of slyness, wiles, courage, intrigues, guts, prowess and all of such things you can thing would help them go upwards from mere Va-Nu-Pieds to, perhaps, the leaders of their nation.

For that to happens I need two things: some interest and a choice:

Alternate Historical or Futuristic?

I intend to craft a whole nation with this, complete with a capital, a megalopolis or two and guilds, clans, families and others factions that you could join by ingratiating yourself to the appropriate NPC.

This seems interesting, I would probably join if it was a futuristic sort of rp, or maybe some kind of dystopian society?

I could see something full of propaganda with a general feel of unease set on the backdrop of a space age. The higher up you go the more treacherous it gets.

I Like that idea, the advanced technology would make things interesting. Hitmen would be more dangerous XD Are we talking about political prowess and military prowess? Or just being smart enough to make it to the top? Will all the characters be leaders of cities, nations, planets?

I see it as being a strict meritocracy corrupted with rumors, contacts and public opinion, everyone would get paranoid after a while as they gain power and influence. As for the higher up, I meant the social ladder, which can be climbed in various ways, especially since that particular system is extremely corrupt.

Each character would start as a standard low-class citizen just out into adulthood and make their way up from their in any way they can.

Okay, so you should make major corporations, companies, business, planets, and NPC's

That and governments, trade routes and cultures, Some history and new fuels and luxuries would also be needed.
Yes, this will take a while.

I could make some races, and major companies if you'd like.
