Editing Setting:InfiniCon (section)

=The Plan so far=

InfiniCon is meant to be a setting, first and foremost. The initial idea was to create and explore the concept, expanding and detailing the things that hadn't been touched on yet. What we want to create is a fully fleshed out setting with enough of the important details in place for anyone to pick up this setting and use it without having to write up too much content of their own. Something that can easily be used with most systems or interpretations. This may eventually lead to a homebrew system, but for the time being, that isn't high on the priority list.

Additionally, InfiniCon exists in a couple different flavors at the moment. Which version you end up using or how intense certain aspects are really depend on the author or the GM. While numerous aspects of InfiniCon may be firmly established, many others won't be, and a person is free to put their own spin on things. This may mean that things are a little silly and carefree or that they are brutal and gritty and lethal.

*'''The Low Fantasy''' - InfiniCon is slightly more realistic, though no less ridiculous and corrupt and dark once you get into it. From a player perspective, it's more like a film noir story with players often playing Mercenary or Hunter types who take up any work they can get that falls outside the normal spectrum of legitimate business. Players might be normals, working as the diplomats and negotiators between the different factions, being the neutral party that isn't sided with any one series or genre or they might be new arrivals, getting tangled in the drama and conflict of the different distracts and factions.

*'''The Batshit Insane High Fantasy''' - InfiniCon is not merely a gathering of cosplayers and dorks, there is something supernatural about it, something that alters the fabric of reality. Those who truly engage themselves in the fantasy of being a fictional character and immerse themselves in their fandom start to take on the powers and abilities of their character and series. Depending on how intense you feel like getting, this could mean a street-level supers type thing with people sporting enhanced agility and strength, or it could be a high end Exalted type rise to Godhood, where fully immersed characters warp the world around them, making it take on aspects of their fandom. This would be represented by an "Immersion" stat which grants more power the higher it goes, at the expense of losing touch with reality and your self.

*'''Delusions and Overreactions''' - There is a semi-supernatural phenomenon in Infinity City that allows playing pretend and getting into character to have some serious impact on its citizens. As a person drifts further into their delusion, it becomes harder for them to not react to roleplay and pretend as if it were reality. This becomes a bigger problem when the intense delusions of one person can start to drag others in, forcing everyone in the area into their fantasy, crossover hallucination where nerf darts are deadly bullets and the guy in the cardboard armor becomes a fearsome trained warrior. From an outsider's perspective, it's hilarious to watch, but it can be quite frustrating for Con Security when they have to waste time convincing kids that they aren't actually dead after some fight with another cosplayer. This is meant to be an alternate take on the immersion idea, still allowing for epic battles, but without the actual super powers and only a hint of psychic shenanigans.

Note: this setting works with any kind of system. You name it, we can use it! Writing "fanfiction" is encouraged, jut put it on the [[Setting:InfiniCon/Lore|lore page]] though.
