Editing Setting:InfiniCon/Proposed Mechanics (section)

==Immersion==
This is a combination of sanity and "magic". The more personal immersion you have, the more you believe your fandom is real and that you are part of it. With more immersion, you begin to perceive strange things related to the fandom. A Naruto fan may have spurts of martial arts, [[Furry|Furries]] may have feeling in their tails, or Warhammer 40k fans with nerf guns may start [[autogun|breaking glass]] with their darts, or their [[Imperial Guard|cardboard armor]] may be more protective than usual.

Faction/Fandom Immersion would be something each faction has as a shared collective, and it warps reality a bit on their own turf. D&D elven cosplayers may have heightened senses in their area, or that TF2 scout cosplayer may, when drinking his soda (with "Bonk!" taped over the original soda's label), would be a bit faster than usual.

Immersion effects, as currently proposed, would be very, ''very'' low-magic. Most normals (with low IMM) wouldn't notice things like this.

Also, Immersion has been talked about being tied into social encounters, with a sort of "Will + Immersion" check when someone disses your faction. If the check fails, you would physically assault whoever dissed the faction. Think fanboyism, but to the extreme.

There is a proposed idea of being able to "rub" this immersion onto others, like [[/d/]]eviants turning their prisoners more and more into the slaves they desire, or furries capturing and trapping poor victims in fursuits to brainwash them (in other words, increase the victim's IMM of the furry fandom).

The catch is, this doesn't really happen (to some extent, supernatural stuff still occurs occasionally), and all this thought of being killed by a nerf dart or some superpower is delusion from the immersion. The delusions are sometimes so intense that people actually believe they die when they are hit by a nerf dart between the eyes, and occasionally would.
