WINTER TEST DRIVE MEME


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!

a; no worries with spoilers I'm all caught up

Teddy steps out of the Vanquish and into the hangar after checking that the supplies in his ship is still in order. As the door shuts behind him he begins walking towards the exit, only to stop when he notices the small green child holding up a tool.

His gaze follows the child's, landing on the armored man crouched by the side of the First Breath. Teddy had not encountered these two during their first time on Agra-10, but he had been told about them by his boyfriend, Billy, their former shipmate.

And there could only be so many armored guys going around with small green alien children, right?

"Um, hi." Teddy approaches the both of them with a little wave and crooked smile. "Did you both just get back? Billy will be glad to see the little guy again. I'm Teddy. Billy's boyfriend. He mentioned you two before."
foundlingfather: (What are your plans?)

No, no there's certainly not many armored guys with green alien children around. Not even in their universe. So the two of them certainly kind of stick out as an odd pair.

The sound of the other ship's door closing, in the otherwise relatively quiet hangar, is enough to draw the child's attention away from his caretaker. He makes a noise that could almost be interpreted as 'huh?', as his pointy ears perk up. This also makes the Mandalorian turn, as Teddy approaches. He regards the man for a moment, assessing him, before he nods in return. He turns to face him completely as he stands up.

"We arrived not long ago, yes." He responds. "Call me Mando. This is my--" He pauses for a second to correct himself, right the kid has a name now. "Grogu." He gestures down at the toddler, he looks up at Teddy in curiosity. However, Grogu's ears perks up at the name 'Billy, and he makes a coo of interest.

"Billy...he's still here?" Din remembers him, and his kindness while they were here.

"Mando and Grogu," he repeats with a nod. "It's nice to officially meet you both."

Grogu's cooing draws his attention and Teddy drops into a crouch, bringing himself closer to the toddler's level. Kind of. The kid is pretty short, but his small size is actually really endearing. Teddy can't help but smile at him.

"You definitely remember Billy, don't you, little guy? He'll be really happy to see you." Which should already answers Mando's question, but he still pauses and looks up, addressing the Mandalorian himself. "Yeah, Billy is still here. And a lot has happened the past couple of months. You'll have some catching up to do."
foundlingfather: (What's my next job)

[personal profile] foundlingfather 2020-12-07 05:05 am (UTC)(link)
Mando nods. "Same to you." And no worries, Teddy. Grogu's used to having to stare upwards at people. His species isn't known for being tall.

Grogu makes a happy coo again at Billy's name. Of course he remembers him. Billy was a good babysitter, when dad let him watch him anyway.

"I had that feeling." He looks back to the ships for a moment. "The ships look like they've been through hell. I assume everyone was alright?"
