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!

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!

Explore the city

It had been a rather rude awakening since this was most definitely not where Kaz had gone to sleep. His cane was neatly laid alongside him so his trademark shuffled steps preceded him wherever he went. At first, he took a moment to look at the fountain and trace around the square it was located in, marking it on his mental map. Then the large and mostly transparent building was next, Kaz also mentally marking it on his map. From there he could see a blocky building with what appeared to be a tower attached to it. Making a beeline for the tower the rhythmic sound of Kaz's cane punctuated his steps.

Try the Network

[ Kaz has never seen anything like a smartphone before so the first order of business for him is to take it apart and see how it works. He hasn't gotten that far when it suddenly powers on of its own accord and since the screen is pointed face up, the first view of Kaz on the network is a worm's eye view of a boy with black hair and matching black eyes. He's holding part of the case over the camera in one gloved hand and raises an eyebrow at the phone. ]

It looks like you're glass but now you're a glowing picture?

[ His voice is a rocksalt rasp, as though he gargled with whiskey and broken glass every morning. ]

There be storms

When the wind picked up, Kaz only pulled his coat a bit tighter around him. When the rain started to drizzle, he first tried to ignore it, being a canal rat meant you got used to getting wet. But when both picked up more he ducked inside the hulking remains of a building to wait out the worst of the storm. After he pulled his coat off to shake it out he saw the boy standing across from him and stilled. The boy couldn't be older than 14, his clothes simple and had obviously been patched many times. He had the same dark hair and eyes as Kaz, though he wore a simple floppy hat over that hair.

"...Jordie." said Kaz in almost a whisper.

"How could you let him get away with that?" the ghost of Jordie asked.

Following the worn but largely unkempt road, the padawan walked along at a casual pace, coming off of the main road that angled into the northwestern quadrant of the city where the building he'd commandeered as a workshop and repair bay was located. He was on his way to the diner to grab a bite to eat when he caught sight of someone else further along the way.

At a glance he could already tell that this was no one he'd come to know for the time he'd been here, and it was sadly easy to pick out a new face. "Hey," the red-haired teenager called out, raising a hand to wave as he continued forward.

This was the first person that Kaz had seen since waking and though he slowed a bit to look behind him, he didn't stop. He didn't even return the greeting and simply turned back around as he continued his shuffling walk.

Well, that was strange. Cal slowed his own steps, head cocking to one side as he watched the stranger continue on his way. At the beeping over his shoulder, he glanced back at the little droid clinging to his rigger harness.

"Your guess is as good as mine. Sure looks like he has somewhere to be, though," he observed as he replied to his friend. It was unusual behavior enough that Cal decided to follow after.

Not really strange at all. Kaz had woken in a strange place, with no idea how he had come to be there or why. The last thing he was going to do was speak to the first and only person he had seen.

The building looked to be more of the shell of a building than anything else. Kaz had gone toward it because of the tower attached to it, and he intended to use it to look around at the highest possible vantage. It looked like the only access to the tower was a long-defunct elevator. Ignoring everything else, Kaz used his cane first to lever open the hatch at the top of the car, then hooked the head of the cane on the edge and climb onto the top of the car. From there he put the cane through the back of his belt and made his lopsided way up the maintenance ladder on the side of the elevator shaft.

Once he came to the end of the maintenance ladder he paused first to slide the cane out of the back of his belt and onto the edge, then pulled himself over. Once he was up he took a moment to see what strange, new place he had been brought to.

It was quite the climb up, but having a ladder made things much easier than other alternatives. That was of course coming from someone who had to improvise getting around a lot of high-up places.

Cal took his time making his way up once it became clear where the newcomer was headed. He didn't want to spook the guy, not that it seemed the other had been terribly worried about his presence. Perhaps he'd received the Agrii's basic rundown of the present circumstances much better than others. Or perhaps he just wanted somewhere high to scream out in frustration. The latter thought made the padawan quietly chuckle to himself, earning him an inquisitive borble from BD-1 as he climbed up the elevator shaft.
