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!

"Monica," she said with a shrug, not realizing that he might mistake it for a name instead of a country. "And I've never heard of English... what you're speaking sounds like Bregnican to me. ... Though, that may have something to do with that neural interface I touched when I woke up here."

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

Oh yeah, that.

"Yeah. You might be right. Uh, it's nice to meet you, Monica. I'm Eddie."

[hooliganstatus]

She laughs, though not necessarily at his expense so much as the communication breakdown... again. One or both of them are really not good at this. "What? No, no. I'm not called Monica, I'm from Monica."

She winks at him. "My name is Aeon Flux. Where are you from, Eddie?"

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

... well this is awkward. He huffs a sigh, shaking his head.

"Sorry about that. I've just, uh, never heard of the place. I'm from Earth. New York, mostly."

[hooliganstatus]

The awkwardness is almost charming, like a lion cub who can't roar. Aeon shrugs...which lets the towel slip a little. He shouldn't worry: she's too curious about this nervous stranger to willingly make him that uncomfortable. But a girl can still test her limits and have a little fun.

"See, now we're even. Because I'm pretty sure I've never heard of New York. Monica and Bregna are on Earth, though ... I wonder if New York is one of the ruins outside the wall..."

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

... rude.

He looks away, trying very hard not to look at her... anything. But something she said catches his interest. "Wait... ruins?"

[hooliganstatus]

"Yes," she says, readjusting the towel a little. "Everything outside the wall that surrounds Monica and Bregna was consumed by one of the two infestations... but that was a long time ago. Generations. We all grow up learning about it ... though, of course, what's in the history books isn't ever the actual history."

[beepbeepmotherfucker]

"Infestations?" He looks nervous and very worried... "Of what? And when? Shit... is that what happens to Earth?" THE SCIENTISTS WERE WRONG! Global warming wasn't going to kill them! Some kind of infestation would!
