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!

"The kid's here too?" That actually feels like a really good thing. Cobb didn't want to imagine the state the Mandalorian would be in without his kid. And even if it was green with big ears the kid would be another familiar face.

This seemed to be his life for the foreseeable future though. Cobb wasn't exactly happy about that. He'd worry about Mos Pelgo while here.

"As nice as it is to see you this isn't exactly how I'd hope it would go," he said with a tight smile.

[foundlingfather]

"Kid's here, too." Din nods in confirmation. If the kid wasn't here, Din definitely wouldn't be as relaxed as he is, and more worried and annoyed. And would be trying harder to get home. "He's in a safe place at the moment." Far as Din knows anyway, the kid does have a habit of wandering off.

Still, Din's not completely happy about being stuck here. He'd rather be back on his own world. He had a quest to finish after all, even if they sorta did here.

"Same. Figured I'd see you on Tatooine." His helmet tilts. It really is good to see the space cowboy again. He'd wantedtosee his friend again, but not like this. "Wish it was under a better situation." He sighs, helmet tilting down for a moment, before raising again. "How about I show you around." He straightened up, motioning to the city.

[heypartner]

"That's what I was picturing too." Since Cobb had no reason to leave Tatooine that would've made the most sense. Some force of the universe saw it another way apparently.

He nodded and gestured for Mando to keep leading the way. "Yeah, I'd appreciate a tour around the place. Seems big enough to get lost in if you're not careful."

And there was so much water. Cobb would need a lot of time to process that part of this place.

[foundlingfather]

The universe has a funny way of doing things sometimes. It certainly has Din doing thing he didn't imagine he would be doing almost a year ago.

"It is. The city itself is called Temba. Evidently the Agrii used to live here." Din nods, and leads the way. "Was there a...floating orb? When you woke up?"

[heypartner]

"Yeah, I saw one." Cobb frowned a little bit. "Was a little suspicious of it, I'll be honest."

He had been suspicious since the moment he woke up in a strange city in a strange part of the galaxy. It hadn't felt like a good idea to trust a floating orb or anything around him.

"Kept waiting for the bastards who kidnapped me to show up even though I don't remember being kidnapped in the first place." He'd just gone to bed and woken up in this strange place.

[foundlingfather]

Din nods in understanding. "Touching it's not great either." He has personal experience in this one. Having information forcefully downloaded into your brain is not fun. "Only upside, is it gives good information about this place." But whether or not that's worth the download? Depends on your point of view.

"Don't wait much longer." Din tilts his helm. "The Agrii rarely contact us. Unless they need something from us." Din's tone didn't sound that pleased. He still didn't like the Agrii all that well, or who ever else it was keeping them here, from the last time.

"Main things to watch out for here are the storms." He thinks for a moment. "They're not normal storms. My understanding from the last one that passed. It had...ghosts of people others knew. Could speak and be seen. From what I heard, they didn't say the nicest things."

[heypartner]

Cobb feels validated in not touching the strange orb. He really wasn't in the mood for more things forced on him right now. Maybe when he's in a better mood he'll try the mystery orb because more information does hold a certain temptation.

"You say storms and I'm guessing you mean the kind with rain." Tatooine had plenty of sandstorms. Cobb could ride those out no trouble. He's never been in a rainstorm though. Desert planet.

He snorts. "Yeah, well, I think I could handle a few insulting rain drops." After what he had been called growing up as a slave? What could a storm do that was worse than that? "But I'll keep an eye on the clouds. And maybe stick close to a trusted partner."

[foundlingfather]

Din'll go with him to back him up, if he wants. He can understand the wariness.

"Got it. Rain, wind, lightning." Your typical storm. Well. storms outside of Tatooine that is. "I've...so far managed to avoid them. But I've been told they can do other things too."

"I'm sure you can." Din responds, and might be smiling a little under the helmet, as he tilts it a little toward the other man. "Good to have a partner I know I can count on." Really, he's glad to have somebody he actually knows, and trusts here. "There's others here from the same world as us. But...I didn't know them before I was kidnapped."

[heypartner]

Cobb frowned a little. Sandstorms could create lightning but it was rare, reserved for the biggest, meanest storms. He didn't know what to make of rain and lightning all together. It might... be a bit much even though he had initially thought it wasn't that big of a deal.

"Where are you and the kid staying?" Because obviously Mando was with his kid even if the little womp rat wasn't around right now. He figured the two of them had a place. Maybe he could stay with them until he found his own place.

The two didn't need him imposing on their hospitality.

[foundlingfather]

Din pauses in his walk for a moment as he considers.

"There's a hangar with grounded ships in it. We've been staying on one of them." He and Grogu should probably think of looking into finding another place. "Not much, but they got bunks. Hangar's this way." He starts off again. Cobb was welcome to stay long as he needed. Din certainly didn't mind his company.

"I'll warn you. The ships are...I don't know. They only seem to let certain people on each of them."It's hard to believe, but better Cobb knows now. "Long as you're with me though. You should be able to get on the one we're staying on."

[heypartner]

There was a part of Cobb that wasn't too thrilled by the idea of living on a ship. He had never been on one much less tried to live on one. It couldn't be that bad though. Might be a little cramped but he'd lived in tight quarters.

"So, they've got some sort of security." That's what it sounded like to Cobb but again, he didn't know a damn thing about ships or space travel. "Always a chance it decides a Marshal is trustworthy and lets me on without you."

He said it with an easy smile and amused drawl.
