{{Note| There are two ''alternative continuities'' in Mush: The orgininal one featuring '''''Finola'' and ''Chao''''' as heads of research and security, respectively, and a version where events transpired that caused them to be replaced by '''''Andie'' and ''Derek''''' instead. Which one the game uses depends on the current season, or the individual setting of a Casting ship.}}

''Andie'' is placed on the [[Daedalus]] along with {{Character|Derek}} in the event that {{Character|Finola}} and {{Character|Chao}} do not make it on-board. His/her varied skill set allows him/her to perform a variety of roles, and several auxiliary skills ensure that (s)he outperforms any competitor in his/her chosen field.''

 +
Andie's {{Skill|Polyvalent}} skill is very helpful both during research, which is often his/her main responsibility as replacement of {{Character|Finola}}, and on expeditions, where he/she can also be the {{Skill|Pilot}}. As the crew's {{Skill|Confident}}, Andie can keep up the {{Morale}} Morale while also helping to find the {{Character|Mush}}. Also, his/her {{Skill|Devotion}} and {{Skill|Expert}} skills can give him/her extra {{AP}} and better chances of success.

''Derek'' is placed on the [[Daedalus]] along with {{Character|Andie}} in the event that {{Character|Finola}} and {{Character|Chao}} do not make it on-board. With his combat prowess and resistance skills, he serves as an excellent enforcer for the {{Character|Mush}} hunt, while providing a safety net in the later stages of the journey thanks to his firefighting abilities.
+
Derek's {{Skill|Shooter}} and {{Skill|Wrestler}} skills make it easy for him to deal with any discovered {{Character|Mush}}, while his {{Skill|Hygienist}} skill makes it harder for them to deal with him. When he is not preoccupied with chasing the ladies or kicking people out of rooms, his {{Skill|Firefighter}} and {{Skill|Motivator}} skills make him a useful generalist in the long term.

She will stay most of the time near Laboratory for her precence is needed for several Research projects. If she has {{Skill|Nurse}}, she is the other main healer besides ''Finola''.
+
''Chun'' is the one to lead and coordinate the Mush-Hunt, for she is {{Trait|Immunized}}, which makes her {{Skill|Mankind's only hope}}, and can always be trusted. Therefore she is always one of the leaders of the ship, but also primary target for the Mush, and easy to find: She will usually stay in the Laboratory to enable anti-mush research. Being a {{skill|Sneak}} can help there, in addition to the {{item|Plastenite Armor}} she usually wears, just in case. If she acts as a {{Skill|Nurse}}, she can be the other main healer besides ''Finola'', while {{Skill|Premonition}} can help her confirm Eleesha's suspicions. Finally her {{Skill|Lethargy}} skill will let her accumulate a lot of {{AP}} if she stays in bed for extended periods of time.

In Mush, every player controls one of 18 playable characters in a 16 person crew.

This article serves as an overview of the characters and their basic function. Please refer to each character's respective article (see table on the right) for in-depth information, tips and tricks.

Depending on which character you play, you will have a different field of expertise, set of abilities and general play style. Each of the characters is unique in:

  • their choice of 5-6 Skills
  • their personal Glory Glory objective
  • if applicable, their unique character trait
  • their place in the Title hierarchy

Icon Note: There are two alternative continuities in Mush: The orgininal one featuring Finola and Chao as heads of research and security, respectively, and a version where events transpired that caused them to be replaced by Andie and Derek instead. Which one the game uses depends on the current season, or the individual setting of a Casting ship.
