==Life in the City==
"Life here is simple - don't get squished." ''Shadowrunner''

'''Citizens''' - Also known as Con-goers and Attendees. The citizenry of Infinity City is as wide and varied as any other city, though they are less shy about hiding their hobbies and fandoms. Like at any other convention, attendees let loose and walk about openly and shamelessly showing off their appreciation for different cartoons, shows, and hobbies. Most citizens are employed within the city, working for the various businesses, vendors, or public services that keep things running, while others are self-employed as costume and prop makers.

:There are roughly half a million citizens in the known city, with another 100k estimated tourists.The people living in the UnderCon are mostly unaccounted. There are additionally the people who live in the Suburbs, and other outlying areas. 

'''Employment''' - As mentioned above, the city functions much like any city anywhere else might run, with the exception of a variety of unique jobs that have cropped up to fill the needs of an everlasting convention. Most citizens within Infinity City work at the various stores, businesses, and establishments throughout the city, which may mean working at McDonald's or GameStop to make ends meet. Lucky for many others, there are also jobs to be taken in convention security, event management, janitorial duties, and many other public services. 

For those who weren't lucky enough to land traditional careers in the city, there are the fringe jobs that came into existence as a part of the city's culture. Garbage picking for recyclable materials is rather popular amongst those who don't mind getting their hands dirty to make some extra cash. Things like aluminum cans and cardboard boxes and scrap wood are especially valuable to prop makers, while the city itself might offer a pittance as incentive for turning in things like petroleum-based products and batteries for proper disposal as a means of keeping Infinity City clean and safe.

'''Transportation''' - Like most densely packed cities, owning a car is almost entirely unnecessary for the average citizen. A tangled network of skyways between major hotels and apartment and public transportation in the form of buses, subway trains, and trolleys means most people can get around the city without much trouble. There are also the major tunnels that are kept well-lit and patrolled regularly that can be used as shortcuts, though many consider that to be skirting it too close to the UnderCon.

For most, walking is the preferred method of getting around with biking at a close second. In some cases, a bicycle may be nothing more than a prop for a costume, but it does make for a convention transport. For those who may not be able to afford a motorcycle, there is also the option to ride a bicycle with a modified outer shell to appear more appropriate for their costume. Space Marine Bike Squads, for instance.

'''Law Enforcement''' - Upholding order in Infinity City is a difficult endeavor. To make sure that the city operates smoothly and that major events occur without a hitch, the city has created two factions of law enforcement: Con Security (AKA ConSec) and the Enforcers. 

ConSec is mostly made up of paid volunteers who mostly act as the eyes on the street for the Enforcers. ConSec operatives have some authority, but since they aren't trained they also aren't armed. And for this reason they are relegated to civil protection. There is some wiggle room regarding what ConSec is allowed to do when it comes to applying the law and punishing offenders, but mostly they are required to observer and report. For this reason, most carry some form of camera and walkie talkie to keep in touch with the Enforcers. For instance, ConSec may apprehend a thief, but it is up to the Enforcers to detain and decide punishment. 

The Enforcers are akin to real Police Officers. They have full authority to enforce the laws of the city, which also give them the right to detain and deport offenders from the Con. To become an Enforcer requires some extensive training under an actual security and law enforcement specialist, employed by the city and acting as a Captains for the various branches of the Infinity City Enforcers (ICE? Sure, why not?). Rumor has it that each one was picked not only because of their backgrounds in law enforcement and private security, but also because they are secretly fans themselves.

'''The InfiniCon Registration Network''' - With as many people as there are in Infinity City all clamoring the attend the various events and panels, one of the first things the city was required to do was establish a more stream-lined and efficient registration system. Rather than rely on badges and registration lines, they built the InfiniCon Registration Network, which catalogs and stores basic info on all registered attendees and gives them an ID card which keeps track of various bits of information stored on a RFID chip inside the card.

Through the use of the ICRN, Attendees and citizens can pre-register for popular events, concerts, book-signings, photo shoots, and other organized gatherings for a small fee at local kiosks around the city. A quick scan of an attendee's ICRN card allows the Staffers to efficiently determine who gets into an event.

The ICRN is also used by the Enforcers and ConSec to keep track of repeat offenders. Certain key locations throughout the city have scanners built in that keep track of who has been where. It's a little Big Brother-y, but it is absolutely necessary at times to keep tabs on an offender who might be trying to disguise themselves by switching costumes. Additionally, anyone not carrying a card or refusing to show one only gives them more reason to detain and bring in a suspicious person for identification.

Despite the somewhat questionable nature of the ICRN cards, it is a necessary evil to most and a vital source of income for the city. Registration and renewal fees bring in a constant source of revenue.

'''The UnderCon'''

Numerous tunnels lie beneath the city for maintenance, transportation, utilities, and other strange, unknown reasons. These tunnels are uncountable, dark, mysterious, and are extremely hard to map. The tunnels themselves vary in appearance, as some tunnels are clean and industrial, with light fixtures and pipes running across the ceiling, and tile floors. Other portions are made from brick and concrete, with no light source whatsoever, and many dead-ends and dead corpses. Some parts of tunnels do not connect to others, and there are few entrances leading down to them. The UnderCon has become a sort of place for rejects of society to lurk, or people looking to bypass security checkpoints. It is very dangerous, especially since it is the only place a staff uniform will not necessarily scare people into obeying.

The main "faction" residing in the depths are the Furries, who tend to gang up on unsuspecting travelers and either mug them, rape them, or turn them into one of their ranks. Furries commonly have raves in secret catacombs, and non-Furries are lucky to get past one alive amidst the music and constant orgies.

Other crazies lurk the depths, such as post-apocalyptic LARPers, who after weeks of constant immersion, believe the world outside is irradiated and will mug and possibly kill people for their "rations" or supplies. It isn't uncommon to find these people having guns or other lethal weapons, and bodies are easily lost in the winding tunnels. Deep below there are also power substations and water pumps.

Runners, or people transporting contraband items such as weapons, drugs, rare rulebooks/collectables, and other illegal/rare goods, tend to use the UnderCon for bypassing security checkpoints or escaping authorities. It's an easy way past many security measures of the above-ground, but it is dangerous, especially when going into the lower levels.
