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!

"Sounds like you have had quite a history here. Just how long have they been bringing people to this planet? Whether the Agrii are or not, they seemed to have started it, and harm has been done."

He wasn't sure how he felt about some race of beings whisking away people from their own homes to come and save them when they apparently couldn't do so themselves. The Jedi had no such luxury, and even if they did, he didn't think they would resort to that anyway. However, Obi-Wan knew he shouldn't pass judgement quite yet. Not when he hasn't even had a chance to meet these beings and get the full take on those who have interacted with them thus far.

[beholding_archivist]

Jon can't help but frown a little. "A year? Year and a half? Though this has started even before that. And not with the Agrii, but the Atroma. Who seem to be behind what's going on here as well. An alien species we know very little about, but apparently they used to abduct people from different galaxies for their little reality show. A show the Agrii have watched and when their planet fell victim to these storms... They were rescued. By the Atroma. Who gave them a ship and technology the Agrii still barely understand."

Exhaling once, Jon pulls out his phone and opens up a photo he has taken while on the Agrii ship, showing a group of three, light-purple beings with four arms each, three eyes and little fangs excitedly crowding a young man in his early thirties who seems to be humoring them by giving out autographs.

"Interacting with them can be rather compared to interacting with pre-schoolers. Ga Re is easily the most mature among them." And none of that makes actually getting any information about the Atroma any easier.

[hadthehighground]

"Reality show?" There is a bit of confusion in his tone as he leans in to look at the picture on Jon's little device. His brows raising a bit as he takes it in. He certainly hasn't seen any species quite like that.

"So then the Atroma bring us for their entertainment? And we are celebrities to the Agrii? Sounds to me that their suffering could very well be part of the show. Perhaps they're taking bets on us even now."

The thought of it disgusts him, especially considering what he was taken from. The stakes that were involved back home.

[beholding_archivist]

"The Agrii are most definitely being used the same way we are." The Archivist confirms while pocketing his phone again. "When we were called to rescue them from a group of invaders, we arrived at a setup that nearly had us blow up an enemy ship. The ship was empty save for the Agrii and a few of our group that has vanished on the trip, all of them kept in a coma-like sleep. The invaders were a group of beings taken from a planet nor far from where the Agrii and their ship has been staying. The Graq were primitive and had no idea where they were, how or why they had been brought there. Christ, they didn't even understand that what they were holding were weapons! I'm just glad we didn't accidentally kill any of them."

It was a strange, messy trip. One that could have gone very, very badly.

"Our main concern here are the storms, however. Unless we find a way to end those, they will pose a threat to everyone. Including us."

[hadthehighground]

"So then they are playing with lives. Ours as well as innocents around them."

Despite the calm to his tone, there is a hint of cold fury in the Jedi's voice. There were many things he could stand, but gambling with the lives of innocent beings was not one of them. It seemed that they were dealing with a cruelty that was not unlike what he had experience in his own galaxy.

"I realize that these storms are dangerous, but what are they exactly? What causes them?"
