Line 12:
Oh, did we mention that while they're beating the stuffing out of each other they're being observed by a ''Combined Army'', composed of various [[Humanoid Aliens]] and lead by an AI even more advanced than ALEPH, called the Evolved Intelligence (EI). Oh sure, they're only watching for now, but nothing has been able to get them to leave.
Not to be confused with [[Infinity (fanfic)|the fanfic of the same name]], or the comic book ''[[Infinity, Inc.]]''.

* [[A.I. Is a Crapshoot]]: Inverted. ALEPH shows no signs of betraying humanity so far and the EI has loyalty to the Ur-Rationalists encoded into every redundant system. Played straight, however, by the Rationalists' ''first'' AI, which promptly [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence|achieved enlightenment]] when it was switched on - and then decided that the Ur weren't worthy of ascension and left them behind.
Line 19 ⟶ 21:
** The main incentives used by the Yu Jing army to recruit the Aragoto Senkenbutai are speed, high risks, and all the shooting you want...and you get paid for it. (and the fact resurrection is a fact of life in the Infinity universe, especially if you're part of a military)
* [[Anime Hair]]: A few models, especially among the Nomads, have that crazy matchstick style.
* [[Asskicking Pose]]: Taken to sometimes absurd levels by the models. It seems rather impractical to run while [https://web.archive.org/web/20150512191121/http://www.arcaneminiatures.co.uk/images/infinity-miniatures/280220-0112.jpg hunched over] and hacking at the same time. [https://web.archive.org/web/20140904141441/http://www.arcaneminiatures.co.uk/images/infinity-miniatures/280122-0128.jpg You have to wonder what they were thinking on some of these.] Fortunately it's not nearly as bad on newer models, which have slipped safely back into the realm of kickass.
* [[Ascend to a Higher Plane of Existence]]: The EI wants to recreate an AI that can do this, for the good of its creators. The previous one didn't think they were ready for it.
* [[Badass]]: At least one per human faction. Achilles ("Individual of Mass Destruction"), Joan of Arc and William Wallace definitely qualify.
