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...

[Yeah, this? This is fucking interesting. It's like their very own little santa claus with how cheerful and round the guy is. So smiley.]

Woah there, man, pull the device back from your face. And they're not paintings. That's a camera phone. Live video of other places and people. So basically it's just like being there with someone and looking at them in person.

Geez, you're like, from a low tech period, aren't you? This is going to be a lot.

[Iroh managed to pull the camera back a bit, though it's still perhaps not the best of videos.]

Pictures and sound both, it is like speaking with them directly. Only they're not able to throw things if they don't appreciate your pun. We certainly did not have anything this magical back home.

Oh don't worry, old guy. We can still throw things. Including the communicator. So don't worry, you can pun away.

[Damn, he likes this guy already.]

So who are you?

[Iroh laughed, it seemed humor was universal.]

I will keep that in mind and be sure to duck.

I am but an old man who has wandered a bit far from home on his journey. My name is Iroh. What is yours?

Tommy Shepherd. Never heard of an Iroh. Cool name, chuckles.

[He seems so happy. Tommy is impressed by that.]

It is nice to have had this chance to meet Tommy shepherd. I wish that there were fewer that might not have heard of it at times. But to laugh and make the most of life certainly is something wonderful to be known for.

[Okay, don't say his name in a sentence like that because it's weird? He even cringes a little.]

I mean, why wouldn't you want to be known for being fun?

I'm not certain, but there are some who frown on it quite a bit. [His own brother had very much been against it, as had his nephew for quite some time.]

Frowns are just quitter talk.

[Iroh laughs, he would certainly have to remember that one.]

If one were to quit smiling I suppose it is.

You're totally not the type to stop smiling, right?

[And Tommy's smiling with him.]

Hope you adjust well to this place. It's... a mess.

I hope not.

Thank you, perhaps together we will all be able to straighten it out.

That's always the hope. Doesn't seem to be panning out, but you gotta do what you gotta do.

You need a guide?

I seem to be finding my way pretty well. But I would never turn away some company while I figure out just where it is I am going.

Well, I'm at the diner. Cooking some stew up. Could make you some food at coffee. I think someone left some coffee. If not, a cup of the tea I keep for the nerds.

[It will be horrible, he's bad at brewing tea.]

Thank you, something to eat sounds lovely.

[Though please, let him brew the tea. He has seen many horrors of what people call tea here.]

Then come on by Eli's Diner. I'll take care of you.

Such a kind offer, I will be there soon.

I'll get some stuff heated up.
