Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application

Welcome to the Current Test Drive for The Revival Project!

This game is a spin-off from the closed The Drift Fleet game. For more information about the game, including more details on the setting, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.

A thread on the TDM will be required for all applications. Please view the FAQ for information about how this works. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ as well.

If you are a Drift Fleet alumni bringing your character from the game, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level. Also, keep in mind you have complete flexibility on how your character comes here. They could be taken before endgame, after endgame, two years after, one year before, etc. It's up to you! If you want to completely restart your character, they're not considered DFAU anymore and won't need the label.

So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!

Fall in Temba and Sh'Ka

Fall is a season that, in temperate climates like that of Temba and Sh'Ka leads to great changes in the land. Of course in both cities that change is often peeking out amid the occasional dustings or drifts of volcanic ash, but with each of the light fall rains, it's almost as if the memories of the eruption that ended the summer are being washed away. Each city, though, has its own new challenges to face.

Temba seems almost peaceful, breathing out a sigh of relief after its near destruction. Just southeast of the city one finds signs of the damage in greater evidence. The recent lava flows have taken out large stretches of vegetation, replacing them with fresh volcanic rock left bare at the surface. In some places there's even residual heat given off, especially closer to the volcano that now rests as an unending reminder of what was nearly lost. Meanwhile in the city itself the plants that would normally provide a natural abundance outside of the domain of the greenhouse seem to offer scant pickings, perhaps a result of the intense heat of the summer.

Meanwhile in Sh'Ka fall proves to be a threat, though in a new way this year than in any before. The danger derives from the Blood Vines near the train station. Apparently ash-rich soil only feeds the vampiric plant, and its spines are larger than ever as its vines lie hidden under the mounds of ash, ready for any unsuspecting prey.

Explore ~~the city~~ Temba!

Here's a map of Temba and a bit more description of some of the buildings here.

Despite having been protected from being destroyed by the volcano itself and unlike Sh'Ka not having been buried in vast amopunts of ash, Temba still suffered notable damage from the earthquakes that came with the volcano's eruption. Previously restored buildings were damaged and others entirely caved in on themselves leaving them beyond any hope for restoration. The streets and paths are even worse to traverse than they used to be but for what it's worth water and electricity are still working. Most of the time.

Needless to say, exploring is more risky these days as buildings may still cave in without warning and seemingly solid roads may crack open to drop anunsuspecting wanderer into underground caves left behind by the quakes.

And yet the city can still be explored. If you are lucky, you might even stumble over The Deep End, the bar located on one of the mid-levels of the tower residences in one of the residence towers. Unfortunately no bright neon signs can lead you there, but it does exist.

Now what's happening with the hangar?!

A while ago, the ships vanished from the hangar and as of now no one can say why exactly that happened. Now your character may snotice that the map still indicates a hangar, but going there has them walk straight into- A force field? And a massive one at that. It's notably larger than the hangar building used to be and by no means translucent. Instead, your character will see a reflection of the city around. Or much rather the rubble and empty area around the location. What's going on here? Do you investigate the strange case of the missing space ships and now also missing hangar?

Try the network!

The network is back up! Upon arrival, your character will have on their person a small, handheld communications device. Maybe they know exactly how to use a computer, smartphone, or tablet, and immediately blast out a text or video trying to figure out what's going on. Or maybe they're not so tech-savvy after all, and everyone is about to get a lovely shot right up your character's left nostril.

There be storms...

These power-altering storms keep ravaging parts of the planet every once in a while. No one truly knows where they come from or what to do about them yet, but one of them appears to be approaching. You have the option to find shelter in one of the buildings to wait for it to pass. Unless, of course, you rather feel drawn to investigate.

Should you step inside the storm, or even get lost in it, it will show ghosts of people you know and those you don't. It drains you of any super-human abilities and tries its best to keep you from getting to its origin. Are you going to try anyways? Or are you going to chase the whispers of people from your past? Maybe you will simply find yourself calling for help or stumble across another lost soul in need of assistance.

Wildcard!

You're welcome to use any previous test drive scenarios or previous game events as a basis for a thread/situation, or simply make up your own! Keep in mind that you're currently stranded on a planet with only basic necessities, but there is enough food and fresh water. Creature comforts, however, seem to be distinctly lacking. Quite unlike a gathering of potentially dangerous creatures to encounter. The setting is yours to explore and have fun with!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[ OoC Note: Steve is pre-Infinity War so he has his beard but no shield. ]

ARRIVAL

[ A day or two ago, Steve Rogers woke up on an unfamiliar planet with very little context or recollection of how he got here, which is a little annoying but nothing he can't square with. He's gotten his bearings and has been asking around on how to return to Earth, only to find that there's plenty of people who have never heard of an Earth at all.

And then he walks into a diner - there's food, out there, for him to eat, free of charge, but there's just something so nostalgic about a diner that he can't help but to walk in and ask: ]

Do you happen to take credit here? Because I've got no idea what the exchange rate is.

HANGAR

[ Steve's just exploring around town as usual when he sees someone approach the hangar. He'd just been watching people approach it trepidatiously for twenty minutes now, some checking it out before giving up, and some skirting around it entirely and deciding to go somewhere else. ]

Think it's some sort of cloaking device? Could be magic. I don't know how prevalent that is here.

QUAKE

[ As Steve's making his rounds, there's a rumbling below them as one of the roads splits open. Maybe your character was standing on the fault line, in which case Steve comes running over with an outstretched hand. Or perhaps your character too, is hanging onto someone else who's slipped in.

In any case, someone's down there in a cave that's revealed itself, and he shouts down: ]

You all right down there?

NETWORK

[ There is a shot of the underside of Steve's nose. ]

Hi. Oh, wait.

[ Now that he's flipped it, it's showing a proper angle. ]

Would anyone who's been here longer than two days be willing to give me the run-down?

WILDCARD

[ Hit me up with your own prompt or at assemble for me to write you a tailored opener! ]

((OOC: There was a pre-serum Steve here awhile ago that Richie saw every once in awhile but never interacted with, so he just recognizes his face.))

[ Richie hears the voice and squints at the face of the person he sees. He looks...familiar, a bit. Just bigger. A lot bigger. ]

Magic? Yeah. I mean there's some of that here. The brunette Billy can do magic stuff. But this? I don't know. It's probably some Agrii shit. I've stopped asking questions, honestly.

[ Honestly, whenever anyone recognizes Steve, he just assumes it's because he's an Avenger, so he's not all that weirded-out. In fact, he'll be pleased to know Richie is from Earth. ]

Guess I might ask Billy for his opinion.

Have you been here long? Are things always like this?

[ Richie doesn't mean to but he bursts out laughing. ] "\Uh... yeah. I have been here for awhile. Handful of years at the least. I think I lost count...

[The second part of the question gets a shrug.]

Depends on what you mean by 'like this'. The hangar hasn't been cut off from us before, really. But weird shit happening? Yeah. That's pretty much how it works out. Just wait for a storm.

[He offers a hand] Richie Tozier.

[ He's still contemplating Richie's words, but he shakes the hand he's offered because he's nothing if not polite. ]

Steve Rogers.

And great - if you've been here a few years, I hope you don't mind me asking a lot of questions that might seem a little basic.

What kind of storms are they, sandstorms?

[ He squints and takes a look around - hopefully they're not acid rain storms or something ridiculous like that. ]
