Role Play

I am currently active as Newbie wiz on All-Star MUSH, a branch of DCU MUSH. I play the characters Midnight and Dr. Fate. Here is a weblog of some roleplay featuring me as David Clark (Midnight) and Sandy the Golden Boy (sidekick of the Sandman). I also play Splitter (Arm-Fall-Off Boy), Laurel Kent, and Whizzy on Legion Outpost MUSH. Also written for All-Star MUSH is a list of Golden Age Noncostumed Feature Characters; I have included it here in case someone finds it useful for fanfic or roleplay.

Occasionally on DCU we run Elseworlds TP's, which could take place in the Victorian era, or with otherworldly heroes like those from the Fawcett, Amalgam, or MLJ lines.

Another MUX with a contemporary theme is ZeroHour, where until recently I played Jay Garrick and The Penguin.

Other characters I play or have played on a variety of MU* include Action Girl, Captain Marvel, Commander Steel, Kid Marvelman, Liberty Belle, Yankee Doodle and Young Darkseid.

Highly recommended for all starting MUSH'ers is Amberyl's MUSH Manual, which takes the user through standard commands and posing in a clear and readable style. Useful for everyone from the novice to the wizard. The Beginner's Guide to MUSH is a slightly trimmed-down version which seems partially derived from Amberyl's.

MU* Clients for Various Operating Systems offers a variety of options to ease interface with MU* programs.
