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!

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!

Luckily it's not too far of a walk to the hotel. [she gestured toward it, the spires visible over a few shorter buildings. Padme would likely recognize it as Starling started to lead the way, trusting her to follow. if Padme needed to lean on her she'd offer, but not until she was asked, or the other woman looked like she needed it. Starling knew pregnant women were made of sterner stuff than most people assumed.]

I love what you've done with your hair. I never even think about doing anything fancy.

[She looks up] We're not staying far from the Jedi Temple? Interesting.

[One hand moves to touch her hair.] Fancy? Is it? Why thank you.

It's fancy by my standards, anyway.

[she shrugs, smiling, and what she says next is definitely not a question]

You know this place, too. There sure are a helluva lot of you.

[She nods. Yes, well, she knows that it's not fancy by her own standards, but it might be by others.]

I do, though it seems to be a different time than the one I came from.

[She tilts her head slightly.]

Are there? That's interesting.

Mm-hmm. I haven't met everyone, but ... at least six, I think. I've heard a couple names in conversation that aren't familiar yet. I had a very nice tour of the Jedi temple just the other day, actually, from a Jedi named Kenobi. He seems to know who they all are, I'm sure he'd be willing to help you find out if there's anyone you know.

[Her smile widens] Master Kenobi is a friend, actually. I've known him for a long time. I'll have to ask him, if I don't meet all of them on my own.

Small universe. ... I'm beginnin' to feel like the odd woman out at the dinner table. Not that we all eat together, mind you.

[she continued to lead the way toward the hotel, though she had a feeling that Padme would probably know at least half a dozen shortcuts at this rate]

[She does, but she's enjoying the walk. ]

Something tells me that doesn't stop you from being friendly with everyone.

Not if I've got anything to do with it. Besides, I've already learned how to play sabacc, and I've almost got Aurabesh figured out. Once I have that down, I can get some books to bring back that'll hopefully be useful to everybody.

[That gets a laugh]

You learn quickly. Those games aren't easy to master.

Marshall Cobb was a good teacher. [she smiles humbly] Plus, I grew up playing poker with family, and then with friends ... and it's got some similar roots.

[she's also been a quick study as long as she can remember, but she doesn't make anything of it. no one likes a show-off]

Poker? [She eyes her curiously.] I have not heard of that game. I'd be interested to learn more.

If I can get hold of a deck of Hoyles, I'd be happy to teach you. In fact, might not be hard to make some if I can get good cardstock. Just need a red pen and a black one to draw on the suits.

[she smiles as a thought occurs to her]

I could teach you once the babies come, it's something you can do while you're resting.

[She doesn't know what a deck of Hoyles are, but she nods all the same.]

I'd like that You sound quite industrious. I'm glad to hear someone making the bet of things.

Industrious. You know, I've been called quite a few things in my time, but I don't think that was one of them.

[a pause as she considers, smirking slightly]

Really shoulda been by now, though. So thank you for being the first person to call it out. I've been making the best of what I had for a long time now. Was one of the most important things my folks taught me.

[She smiles, chuckling. She's always been good at identifying good traits in people. It helped her and her handmaidens work so well together. It was nice to see she hadn't lost that skill.]

You're quite welcome. I am surprised no one's noticed it before now. Though, I suppose much of being industrious typically goes unseen.

[Her smile warms]

I'm sure they'd be proud that you're still taking what they taught you to heart.

That's my experience, yeah.

[as the hotel comes into view, Padme's remark makes her wonder what her mother would make of the place, and the fact that there are droids who do all the cleaning that she would have at home. she wonders what sort of things her mother might have done to make a living here, given so many better options. a seamstress, maybe. a chef.]

You're absolutely right, I think they would. ... I don't think they'd know what to do with themselves here. Both of them ... droids do their jobs, here. We were a very blue-collar family - [she catches herself, realizing that's a cultural term that won't carry] - working class. He was a night security watchman for the town, and she cleaned hotel rooms.

[She smiles, nodding knowingly.]

That's just how it is in this city. There are many other worlds out there and each do things differently. I come from Naboo, a planet known for our art and culture. My father built a greenhouse by hand for the university where he lectured, so the students could grow plants year round.

That sounds amazing. [she smiled at Padme, trying to picture it in her mind.] It's too bad we're so far in the past and we can't go off the planet to see it. I would've loved to.

... Did he teach botany, then?
