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!

Thread ideas:

- Explore the city! There's a map here and a bit more description of some of the buildings here. Most of the buildings are run down and have clearly been abandoned for years; fortunately, the water treatment center appears to be working, but power is intermittent and unreliable. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (For test drive purposes, the ship that will let you enter is up to you, so just pick whichever name appeals, and go for it!) The other ships won't open for you, but it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Do you hear a storm? A giant, power-altering storm has been ravaging part of the planet for a month. It shows 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? More information can be found here.

- Can you hear me now? 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.

- 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...

Lived so long, yet only recently starting to figure things out... [He gives a rueful chuckle.] That is uncomfortably familiar. Or perhaps comfortably, if it is something all other Lokis struggle with.

You should never be surprised that I might be using you. But that does not have to be a bad thing. I have allowed others to use me in turn, without harm to them. We use each other, but we also help each other.

Anyway. You know magic? And can use magic as we gods do? [He smiles a little.] I hope I have a chance to inform Doctor Foster of that fact. She would feel quite vindicated.

Yeah don't worry, it's not a mistake I'll make more than once. [He laughs softly, cheeks a bit pink.Maybe an understatement.] You were a pretty good teacher. I had been working it out on my own for a few years, but you definitely shaped me up.

Does that mean you would not accept training from me? Even if I were to be upfront as to how I intend to use you? [He laughs to keep things light.]

Does it count as using me if you're upfront about it?

I'd take the training. I'd just know better than to fully trust you this time.

It can. [And he has a dark look on his face.]

I would want to use your use of Asgardian magic as a mortal to prove a point to Odin. Nothing sinister, just prove the hidebound old fool wrong.

[He smirks.] I will not hold your mistrust against you. [In fact it probably makes him respect the boy more.]

I can't promise you'll get a chance to tell him here. Or that you'll remember any of this if you go home, but I guess that's the gamble you have to take.

But if that'll all you want me for this time then I'm game.

I would rather he not show up here. It is enough that I must deal with his existence in my own universe. But what do you mean, that I might not remember?

It might not be all... I would also like to learn some of what you know. And I have enemies that may follow me here, and empowering an ally to help protect myself and where I currently reside would be a form of use.

I'm not the authority on any of this, but from the come people we've seen who left and came back again, they went right back to the moment they were taken from. They didn't remember being here, or anything that happened until they arrived back again and suddenly it was all jammed back inside their head.

I'm not sure how equipped I am to take on Loki-level enemies, but if anyone comes here looking to hurt people I'll do my best to stop them.

[Loki makes a face.] That sounds singularly unpleasant. And will that still happen should we fulfill the task the Agrii have set for us? [What is his motivation to cooperate, then?]

The Avengers have all pledged to fight Thanos should he threaten them again, and most do not have magic or any talents equivalent. He is too great a threat for any one, but together, we have a chance. I would rather leave before he launches an attack, should he arrive in search of me, but it seems that may not be an option.

[Billy shrugs, he doesn't know anymore than anyone else here.] I guess? We're not really sure, honestly.

[His eyes widen, colour draining a little.]

...Thanos? Thanos is after you??

[He is definitely not confident about taking on Thanos.]

[That is not a very reassuring reaction. Loki sucks in his breath, sighs.]

Unfortunately, yes, or so I must assume, as I betrayed him and ruined some of his plans. Though if you have heard of him and fear him, I suppose I should be thankful I do not need to convince you of the threat he poses. [Trying to find any marginal silver lining.]

Yeah, no convincing needed. I've heard of him. He's like right up there with Galactus in terms of worst people you could have name dropped.

We should exchange knowledge of him, then, in case he does ever show up. I likely know the most of him of any beings among the Nine Realms, and even I do not know much.

I dearly wish I could take any knowledge of the threat he poses back to my universe with me, along with this Galactus and others you consider the worst threats, but it seems that is not possible. [And he sighs again. He just came into some huge advantages, but he has no way to use them. So frustrating.]

Yeah, we can compare notes. I've never actually gone up against him myself, but it's kind of a hard thing to miss, even if I weren't a super hero nerd.

And hey, we don't know anything for sure. We only have the really small sample of people to ask, and none of them were magic, so...worth preparing for either eventuality, right?

What has he done in your world? The issue I am facing is that he mainly works through proxies and keeps himself and his goals hidden, at least to the Nine Realms. I consider myself fortunate to have convinced the Avengers that he is a threat they should prepare for. But for you, he is infamous.

That is true. And none of us have been released by the Agrii. If they have the power to draw us all here, they may also allow us to return and retain all the knowledge we gained here. And perhaps we do not need to wait for them to grant us that boon...
