TEST DRIVE
Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application

Welcome to the Fall Test Drive for The Revival Project!

For those who do not know, this game is a spin-off from the closed The Drift Fleet game. For more information about what this game is about, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.

Starting on the 7th, 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, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level so we know. 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! The only option not allowed is to completely restart your character (because then it's not DFAU, is it?)

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

Please use either the first event or the previous TDM for prompt ideas!

When she sits down next to him, he lets out a long sigh and lets his gaze drop down so he's staring at his hands. "Yeah, I know, you probably shouldn't tell me too much. But- You don't know how many things I've ruined by acting without thinking. I regret all the bad things I've done, but regret isn't going to fix anything." He shakes his head before continuing. "And now that I'm here, I don't know when I'll be able to do that. Even if I was back at home, maybe I still wouldn't have the chance to."

He's thinking of his uncle now, and wondering if maybe he's too late to try and repair the damage he's done. Of course he knows that Iroh is the forgiving type, but what if he's pushed him too far one too many times? "I bet people like my uncle won't even want to talk to me anymore. I wouldn't blame them for that."

But then again, he thought Katara would never forgive him, but obviously now he knows she can, and for the girl sitting next to him, she already has. It's hard to wrap his mind around, but he thinks Katara wouldn't lie.

"I know this sounds selfish, but I really don't mean it that way. I might not have to prove anything to you, but I still have to prove it to myself." And from where he's standing now, he's not sure how long that will take.

"Regret is a good place to start, at least," Katara points out. "It means you know that the things you did before were bad. Some people will never admit they did anything wrong." People like Zhao, or Azula, or Ozai. They refused to see the error of their ways, making themselves effectively irredeemable.

"Back on our world, you worked so hard to earn our trust and fix your mistakes, but here you have a chance to start fresh with people who don't know you. Everyone I've met has been really nice--I bet you could make friends if you gave yourself a chance."

From her seat, she watches the expressions as they shift on Zuko's face. The mention of Iroh makes her frown, though only because of Zuko's negative self-talk. "Your uncle loves you more than anything. I know he does because I've seen it. Trust me on that, okay?"

She smiles at him then, moving her hand to briefly pat his shoulder. "Don't beat yourself up too much. There's a lot of goodness inside you."

With all that being said, Katara stands and beckons for Zuko to follow her. "Come on this way. There's a greenhouse with food, if you're hungry." Talking about feelings can work up an appetite, after all.

"I know it is, but you're the only one who knows it, at least from my point of view. I can't even tell anyone else how sorry I am. As far as they're concerned, I'm still the enemy." He doesn't mean to sound like he's stuck on this one problem, but it's the biggest obstacle in his path right now.

"But you're right. People here don't know who I am, so maybe this is my chance to start over. I want people to like me, and to not see me as who I used to be." Which shouldn't be a problem, since his reputation hasn't followed him here as far as he can tell.

"You've seen it? How?" He doesn't mean to question her, but it's news to him that Katara's met his uncle. But then she's up and gesturing for him to do the same. "I guess now that you mention it, I'm a little hungry."
