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!

"Yeah. We're getting by."

Keith appreciated it, too, honestly. He'd done something similar with what was left of the shed on his dad's old property after the house was gone. It had been empty for eight years, and the house had come down in a nasty storm as a result. Making the shed into a habitable building hadn't been easy, but he'd done it. This wasn't much different. It was just a bigger scale... and there were people here to help.

The offered food was pretty basic, but Keith got himself a serving of what was ready and then grabbed a table, motioning for Ben to join him.

"So... where you from?" Keith wasn't much for talking, but he didn't mind listening.

Taking his own serving of the humble, but decent looking offerings, Obi-Wan moved to the table that Keith sat at.

"A planet called Tatooine," he replied easily. It was where he was most recently from at least. "And believe me, this world is an improvement in many ways."

Taking his utensil, he picked at his food, studying it a moment, before putting a bite into his mouth.

"I'm not sure I can imagine this being an improvement on much, but..." Keith shrugged. "Can't say I've heard of Tatooine, though." It might exist in his reality... it might not. Keith couldn't say for sure. "You ever heard of a planet called Earth?" Not that it was a guarantee of anything, either, but hey... it was worth a shot.

“Our situation could be worse, I assure you.”

Not that it made it great, but Obi-Wan was grateful for the reprieve from Tatooine. Even though he did need to get back as soon as possible. His duty was more important than his comfort.

“And no, I can’t say that I have.”

Clearly they didn’t come from the same galaxy at all.

Keith quirked an eyebrow. That was spoken with experience. He nodded.

"Trust me. I believe you." His own tone conveyed experience as well.

So, they hadn't heard of each other's planets, which, in a giant universe, might not mean much as far as whether or not they were from the same reality, but Keith was okay with that. He'd deal.

"This place isn't all that much different than some spots on Earth, even with it being run down like this," he offered. "What about Tatooine?"

It was from experience indeed. This earth that Keith spoke of must certainly must be kinder to human civilization. If it had a significant population, that's not at all surprising.

"Ah, well. It has two suns, which causes it to be an entirely desert planet. Barely hospitable enough for humans to live on it. The only water has to be farmed using vaporators which pull moisture out of the air."

Tatooine was certainly not the kindest of planets, but it was a good place to hide if you didn't want to be found.

"Oh, yeah..." Keith nodded. "That sounds rough. I've seen planets like that." Keith had grown up in a desert climate, but it wasn't the whole planet. However, his travels with Voltron had taken to all kinds of worlds with different climates. "A person has to be really tough to survive in a place like that, huh?"

“Yes, but that’s not even the half of it. What with the hostile indigenous people, gangsters, and creatures larger than ships that would like to eat you.”

It was certainly not a great place to live, and yet that’s where he had to be.

“So, as you can see, this place is a bit of a reprieve.”

Edited 2021-02-07 17:15 (UTC)

"Yikes." Keith raised his eyebrows at the description. "Definitely sounds like it." The one thing Keith hadn't come across in his travels were gangsters, but he knew enough about them.

"Did you grow up there or something?"

It made Keith wonder why Ben stayed if it was so rough unless there was a reason he couldn't leave.

“No, not at all,” in fact I grew up on a planet that was entirely a city. “Though someone I knew once, did spend much of his childhood there.” Talking about Anakin though, that was difficult, so he moved on from that.

“There is something keeping me there. I can not leave until my work there is done. Unless someone decides to whisk me away to another planet against my will.”

Which, obviously, he was referring to the position they were in right now.

"Yeah, I wasn't exactly expecting to end up here, either," Keith said. "No one does, I think." He sighed. "But, I can understand being somewhere because of something you need to do. I hope it works out."

“Thank you,” he says with a bit of a sad smile. It wasn’t the sort of future he would wish for himself, but there were some things that were more important than that.

“It was good to meet you Keith. Though I don’t wish to keep holding you up. It’s getting late, after all.”

Keith nodded.

"I guess it is. Glad I could help with what I could, though. I guess I'll see you around."

It wasn't a big place. They most likely would.

“I’m certain you will. Have a pleasant evening.”

It’s with that the Jedi bows politely and sweeps past the young man. The Jedi going on his way to find a place to settle down for the night.
