A fictional persona which one wears like a suit. Coined by writer [http://www.grant-morrison.com/ Grant Morrison].

A fiction suit can be used to interact with fictional / historical characters. For example in [http://www.barbelith.com/bomb/ The Invisibles] Morrison uses the character [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_Mob King Mob] as a fiction suit. He soon discovered that whatever happened to his fiction suit would happen to the "real" him. One can easily see how this can be extremely advantageous - and perhaps dangerous.

A fiction suit can also be used in consensual reality. When worn in this fashion, a fiction suit becomes similar to the idea of a [http://deoxy.org/meme/Reality_Tunnel reality tunnel]. One constructs the fiction suit, with all of the persona's passions, prejudices, quirks and perspectives and then "puts it on", essentially becoming it.

This can be used to test a model of reality, experiment with various modes of social interaction or as a method of testing and refining a "beta version" of an aspect of the gestalt personality / mind-body that is being considered for an upgrade.
