Builders of the absurd! Nothing too ludicrous, no scale too huge (or miniscule). The Imagination Consortium are a loose collection of engineers, architects, designers of all stripes, scientists, mathematician, metaphysicists, painters gathered to pool their skills for the creation of the most far-out things they can manage. Buildings, structures, macroenginnering, body sculpting, tools with
unusual aethestics, interior decorating... The focus is less on practicality and more on pretty (and mind-blowing). They're the kind of people who would make a half-kilometer high tree out of paper just for fun. Or tie space and gravity in knots to make an eternal water slide one foot off the ground.
The Imagination Consortium, in general, doesn't really demand anything in exchange for doing jobs for other. The challenge is the reward. However, they only treat requests as suggestions, basically simply doing what intersts them and leaving the rest lingering ignored in their 'slush' pile of project ideas. They aren't really a very highly organized group, primarily existing as a social network with shared data resources.
Probably the most numerically prominent members are Charmwarpers, with their frequent tendency toward unfettered, wild creativity, but it's actually a fairly balanced group with members from various Warps and non-Warps as various specialities cross over.

Friendly Factions:
The
Curators have strong links to any creativity-enthralled group, and has opened its door to the Imagination Consortium for possibly in-house collaborations. The only problem that really exists is that most of the Imagination Consortium prefers not to leave its projects cooped up in the Museum instead of spreading to all corners of the Mess. This minor point aside, Curators gladly lend a great deal of moral support to the Imagination Consortium, acting as physical muses if need be.

Kindly add ultra-weird houses, insane engineering ideas, and such fitting links you know of. :)
