Astracius / Daniel
Known more by the characters this player plays most often rather than any specific handle, Astracius / Daniel (Witwicky) and often Blaster has been on the MUSH (on and off) since it opened in 1995.
During this time he has had a number of breaks due to things like real life, jobs, university, boredom, and the need to give SO's attention. There is no end of evil in the universe it seems.
Apparently easily recognised due to his smiley. Is a little boggled at this fact. 8oP
Online Times
As he is in the UK (Scotland to be exact), online times are not always compatible with typical US run TPs etc. In an effort to be more organised than really needed, the below is the expected times for the next week.
Coming soon...

Trivia
- Astra (shortened version and nicer than tetherball) is one of the few OC characters originally created in the MUSHes first year. Others include Airwolf and erm... well okay no others.
- Astracius was once nuked, Airwolf was thrilled. Then he came back. Git. He has since been nuked again. Don't count him out just yet though.
- One of the longest breaks taken by Astra was a 2 year hiatus, when he finished the first 2 years of university. He then returned, and uni went to hell.
- Has one of the filthiest minds around (friends tell him so, they may just be patting his ego, but the fear in their eyes suggest otherwise).
- Is from Scotland. Is therefore superior to other Brits on the MUSH. As we all know, if it isn't Scottish, it's crap!
- Has played Blaster more times than LSD has jumped characters. Charstaff may not even bother reading his Blaster apps these days. Except perhaps to laugh at his age.
- Has played more characters than those listed, just has a crap memory for some of them.
- Rarely appears on BB 23, because people have realised his comments are rarely out of context, and yet still rude.
- Knows more about Daniels IC history than anyone else because he's played him the most (this may say something for his sanity). While a few others have played the character, they all were driven to insanity and gave up, Astra keeps coming back.
