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!

Okay. Huh. Well, Richie is the new guy here so far be it for him to be throwing up roadblocks to someone's dinner. But still...

"Uh. Um. Do you know if there's like... A supermarket somewhere? Or... A pond?" Like he can fish.

"Do you even understand what I'm saying?"

[the_child]

Dude. How is he supposed to answer both questions at once? Humans...

He just nods. Yes, there is a pond. And yes he can understand you. He turns back to the fish tank, though. The pond fish are gross. He likes these ones better. Choosing one, he reaches up and starts pulling himself up to get access to the top.

[mrsklover]

"Oh...Oh wait, little guy..."

Okay, now he had the choice of helping him get his fish or watching the little kid do a flip into the tank, probably. That made it a lot easier for him to just reach into the tank himself and grab a fish. Or, at least, try to. It flipped and flopped all over the place as Richie tried to hold it and take it out. Finally it escaped and fell onto the floor, making a whole mess.

"Fuck! Fucking...Fuck...fu-" Oh. Right. A child. Maybe. Who knew with mogwai? "Uh. I mean. Frick. Whatever. Uh... There. Fish."

[the_child]

Grogu lowers himself down to stand on the table and watch the show. This guy is... something. He tilts his head, his ears raising curiously. Silly human, you're not supposed to fish with your hands! He giggles. It was an entertaining show, after all.

But, uh, how is a fish on the dirty floor better than getting one himself?

[mrsklover]

"Oh. Ok. Now you don't want it? Typical kid."

The fish was still flailing around and Richie was starting to feel bad for it, honestly. It took a second but he managed to get it back in his hand and dropped it back into the tank. A stay of execution, he supposes.

[the_child]

Nah, he still wants it. It'd just take too long to climb all the way down and get it.

As Richie deposits the fish back into the tank, Grogu climbs back up. He reaches one hand into the water and a different fish seems to swim backwards for a moment as it's pulled into his hand. Grogu thinks the guy is too distracted by the other fish to notice before he stuffs it into his mouth... But who knows.

[mrsklover]

Nope. No, Richie is able to see that.

He watches as the fish swims against the little green hand. Watches as the kid seems to summon it to him and then swallow it like there's no issue. And the whole time he's pretty much stopped blinking because what the fuck?!

"Do you..." He finally snaps out of it enough to lean down and look the kid in the eyes. "Are you Charles Xavier's gremlin? Can you just... move shi- stuff with your brain?"

[the_child]

Grogu drops back down to the table, a little water dripping from his mouth onto his clothes. He doesn't seem phased when the guy comes down to his level. What?

He blinks, tilting his head and raising his ears. He makes a curious noise. Who's Charles Xavier?

[mrsklover]

Okay. The thing is still cute but it also just swallowed up a fish whole, so. Yeah. His perception of it being cute is very much dependent on Richie's assumed position on the food chain above live-sushi. He might put an extra inch of distance between them now, just in case that is incorrect.

The head tilt makes Richie assume a question is being asked. He makes a wild guess what it is.

"Uh...What I mean is... You know. You can move things around? With your brain?" He pulls his token out of his pocket and mimes it floating around, complete with "Oooooh" noises.

[the_child]

Oh come on, he's got a big stomach but it's not that big! Besides, Richie's funny and he's not about to eat something that tastes funny.

Oooohh he gets it. The pantomime is a little ridiculous, but it gets the point across. Grogu nods.

[mrsklover]

Tastes funny. You're hilarious, Gizmo.

Richie grins wider and claps his hands together. "Holy shit. A magic gremlin! This is awesome. You're awesome! Okay. Cool. So...like. Do you just use it for stealing fish?"

[the_child]

He knows.

Also not a gremlin. Also what is a gremlin?

He tilts his head. Well that's an unusual reaction to him using the Force. Okay. He shakes his head. Nope. There's waaay more to it.

[mrsklover]

"Cool!" Richie looks around the room and grins as he spots a bottle of red liquor behind the bar.

"How about that fly over here for your pal Richie, huh?" He winks at the kid and points at the bottle in question.

"Eh. You know what? You look like you're young enough to be kicked out for even looking at a bar for too long. Maybe let's not have you touch alcohol, even telepathically."

[the_child]

He tilts his head the other way, making a disapproving noise. He's not going to steal for you, Richie. That would be wrong.

[mrsklover]

"Oh, don't do that. I changed my mind. I don't need to be judged by a bald Furby."

He rolls his eyes but tilts his head a little himself. The Furby was still pretty interesting.

"So. That...floating thing. Can I learn?"

[the_child]

A what? He didn't know what that meant.

He seemed to think about the question for a moment. No, he didn't get a strong sense of the Force coming from the man. Finally, he shook his head. No, no he can't learn that.

[mrsklover]

He's not surprised.

"Yeah, I didn't think so. Didn't read Moby Dick as a kid or any of those other books. Tough break."

He sighs and let's the disappointment go as fast as it came.

"Ah well. Just promise to use your powers for good, Gizmo. And don't eat after midnight."

[the_child]

He frowns. His name isn't Gizmo. What the heck? And what's this about eating after midnight? He's so confused!
