ive been on the forums for awhile now but im still not very sure what avatar is? I've gotten that its a larp so far bu that's about it. any general ideas t easy my curiosity.

Avatar is just like any other LARP with rules and regulations blah blah blah... They key thing is when you go to dexcon/dremation and you put "The Button" on (A symbol your in character) and you are now in game where ever you go what ever you are doing. It goes on in the background of the convention itself so theres no time block restriction, it can be 3 in the morning and you can see a few avatars huddled in one space acting a scene out. The nexus itself the area we play in is a multiverse/time/everywhere/but nowhere kinda deal. The best way in my opinion is come to either lugosicon or when you come to dreamation find a avatar and inquire more....or if your bold and daring enough get a "Pink Button" and put it on(This will symbolize your ingame but havent yet fully materialized in the Nexus, You cant hurt anyone no one can hurt you but you can interact and role play with us.)

Note: This is only my opinion im sure more Avatars will comment on how they see it

sounds interesting, personally im looking up larps alot because dice dont like me, and its a good alternative to table top gaming, but seeing the avatar system day after day intrigued me.

    Avatar or the Nexus, is a multigenre LARP that goes on continuously, whether here on these forums or at Avatar only conventions like Lugosicon, or at the Big Cons like Dreamation and Dexcon. When you make a character within the Nexus, you are pretty much limited only by your imagination. There are toons walking around with Cyber characters, Old west and High Fantasy with modern fiction. Though there are rules which are important for official actions, much of the Nexus is done through roleplaying, so even if you are not particularly powerful stat or power wise, you can make a significant contribution simply by roleplaying.
