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!

There's a pause as Obi-Wan seemed to think about something. A bit of sadness in his eyes before his face softened into a more kindly expression.

"I don't mind droids," he said, looking to BB-8 as if trying to clarify to both the robot and its owner.

"However, when one has become accustomed to cutting them down on the battlefield, it would be wise not to sneak up on them." He could have easily left the little droid a sizzling scrap heap had he not realized as quickly as he did that it wasn't a foe. Considering how his mind liked to play tricks on him occasionally with memories of war, he didn't entirely trust himself to say that would never happen.

The astromech's head plate tilted in consideration, before giving a chirp and a little wobble, seeming to forgive him.

Poe too, could sympathize. He'd been here too long, he was starting to forget those solider instincts.

"We've gotten a little lax here," he admitted, moving forward to offer a hand. "I'm Poe, Poe Dameron. This is BB-8. I'm sure you've got a lot of questions about this place."

[hadthehighground]

"There is no fault in that," Obi-Wan says. "A place away from war is one that should be cherished. Even if its not entirely wanted."

Clearly though, the Jedi had yet begun to relax. This world is foreign to him, as are the people that are here. Finding a friendly face is welcome though, and he takes Poe's offered hand.

"Ben..." he says, the name still sounding a bit foreign to him, but preferring to use it still, at least for now. "Ben Kenobi. And yes, I would say that I do have a few."

[happybeeps]

"...Kenobi?" Poe repeats, head tilting. He knew that name. The child of two Rebellion fighters, and working with General Organa all these years, how could he not?

Still, Poe pushes that curiosity to the side for the moment. "Follow me, we'll get you fed and caught up on this place, and I can call Cal."

[hadthehighground]

Perhaps he should have expected that reaction, yet Obi-Wan still felt himself caught off guard. Kenobi was a common enough name, but this man already knew he was a Jedi. There were not many of them, and he was the only one with that name that he knew of. Not to mention he had been well known during the clone wars.

The way Poe pushes it aside and moves on is appreciated though, and he nods his agreement. “All right. Thank you.” He will then willingly follow Poe and BB-8 where ever they decide to lead him.
