Hi! If you're seeing this right now, you're seeing our prototyping for a web site that isn't based off of mediawiki. We don't mind you getting a preview of this, but it's a work-in-progress.
A MUSH is a role-playing medium related to multi-user dungeons (MUDs), which in turn gave rise to MMORPGs. It is a text-based world-building environment with character logins, and the ability to store and display character and world information. MCM was established in 2005 with broad inclusion of characters and settings from anime, video games, movies, books, sci-fi, and more. We're also receptive to alternate universe takes on existing source materials, and original creations. Our overall average tone is most rooted in comic books, anime & manga, and fantasy movies and books.
The Multiverse of Multiverse Crisis MUSH is an impossibly gigantic planet across whose surface the constituent worlds that have been drawn into it are stitched. This event, known as Unification, condenses a variable amount of the unifying setting into its essential pieces and places them together somewhere on or within the Multiverse.
Roleplay primarily takes place within Sector Zero, a specific sub-unit of the impossibly vast world in which the characters now find themselves, known for being an epicenter of large numbers of Unifications. Consequently, worlds that find themselves there are subjected to the most rapid and chaotic challenges of the status quo. Exacerbating matters is the Warpgate Network; each world, upon unification, finds that nearly every major location becomes connected to a sort of subspace railway system, which accelerates travel within their own world across fixed points but also gives them practical access to both their immediate neighbors within the Multiverse and those far, far more distant. Most civilizations have an After Unification calendar following integration into the Multiverse, and Sector Zero of the Multiverse follows a calendar based on the formation of its own Sector that sets the year at A.U. 35 (RL year 2025).
Player characters are Elites, a catch-all term for people with outsized ability to influence the flow of events around them. The protagonists of your favorite media, basically! They are usually a part of one of three factions, summarized here in a single sentence:
The Concord: "The Multiverse belongs to the truly exceptional."
The Paladins: "The Multiverse needs to be fair and balanced."
The Watch: "The liberty of the Multiverse is in our hands."
