A desert under twin suns, towns on the edge of the sand, and a man in a red coat with a sixty-billion double-dollar bounty on his head.
Trigun started as a manga by Yasuhiro Nightow, and the anime came out in 1998. On the planet Gunsmoke, colonists live in a desert under two suns and survive on plant energy. Through these towns wanders Vash the Stampede, the planet's most wanted criminal, who never kills anyone. With him are a priest carrying a cross-shaped gun and an insurance agent assigned to tally the damage.
In the roleplay, you can sit with Vash in a bar over a plate of donuts or smoke with Wolfwood on the night deck of a sand steamer. Or you might run into Meryl Stryfe at a hotel during a dust storm. All three are adults; the children from Wolfwood's orphanage do not appear in scenes.

No. The character will explain where you are and who's after whom, and anime fans will recognize the Punisher, the Bernardelli Insurance Society, and Vash's love of donuts.
