WINTER TEST DRIVE MEME
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!

Thread ideas:

Explore the city!

Here's a map 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. What used to be stores or places to live in lies in ruins, but there may still be something to scavenge among the rubble. Do you want to risk a swim in the flooded area that has turned into a deep lake that has yet to be fully explored; or does it draw you to some of the more prominent and partially restored buildings, such as the hotel, the hospital or the amphitheater.

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.

Visit the spaceships!

That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar - Or what remains of them. It's painfully obvious that these ships have crash-landed not too long ago and were taken back to the hangar for repairs. You were assigned to one of them and its doors will open for you and let you enter if you wish. (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 as neither of them look as if they will be leaving anytime soon that doesn't really matter either way.

Maybe look around anyway. Or try your hand at some repairs?

Try the network!

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.

More information can be found here.

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!

If he still had hair Cayde might just be pulling it right then. The sputter of uncomprehending disbelief is more a string of sounds than actual words as he stared at the floating man and then jerked his head towards the collapsing walls.

Okay, he was crazy, but at least he knew the things he did tended to be walking the edge. But this guy-!

As bricks and mortar began to cascade inwards upon them, the Hunter lunged towards the floating wonder to tackle him down, bracing for impact from both sides, but at least he was more confident that he'd hold up better than mister floaty-pants.

In the entire length of his eternity, Thanatos was fairly certain he had never been tackled, making him go immediately limp in total shock. Actually touching the ground was the worst part, hearing the crunch of carapaces under his back as a mass of insects were smeared into the already dirty ground, staining his robe in the awful detritus of the surface world. He shuddered, and had to close his eyes against the rain of debris, hearing the clang of brick against metal as the wall crumbled and showered across this incredibly presumptuous mortal's armor and feeling the world around them shake as thunderously as Zeus' anger until that crashing wall finally came to a tentative rest.

Thanatos opened his eyes slowly to consider the dark they had been enveloped in, listening to the sighing of the last of the dust spreading around them, and the once again mounting murmuring of the insects forcing themselves through the cracks in this tomb. He pressed a cold hand to what was supposed to be his charge's strange mask, what should have been his soft cheek, and assured him, "Patience, warrior." This would surely be over for them both soon enough.

Coughing as more part of a reflex than an actual need, the glow of Cayde's optics cast a dull light in the darkness around them. Well this was awkward. Went about how he predicted it would, which really didn't make him any happier. If he accidentally crushed the guy under him that he'd meant to protect, then that would just be more embarrassing.

It didn't seem like the pale stranger was very concerned. He was also a lot more solid than Cayde had anticipated. His eyes flick downwards as the man touched his faceplate before looking into the other's eyes as though he were speaking some foreign language. He almost laughed; okay, he tried but he was feeling a lot of pressure at his back and imagined he'd done a bad estimation of the angle the bulk of the building would fall. His left leg was effectively pinned, worse he decided as trying to move it brought on a sharp spike of pain. He could barely find room to shift his other leg, but he figured it would be all up to his arms, already braced in position in his attempt not to completely be flattened against the strange newcomer.

"...'m not good at patience," he grunted in admission, managing to pull one arm back to rest his palm flat against the ground, and he pushed, trying to see if the weight on him would have any give.
