SPRING 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:

Temba Spring Time!

Spring has reached Temba, which means the flowers and plants are blooming not only in the greenhouse. Though it remains a safe enough place to observe and cultivate them, many of them are sprouting freshly through the cracks in what remains of the city's infrastructure.

But the plants aren't the only ones waking up with the warmer temperatures. Temba's wildlife is no exception. Most of the smaller critters can be seen more commonly around the city and should your steps take your near the old library building, you may even encounter half a dozen or more young mothkittens learning to fly, warming their wings up in the sun or napping at the side of the building. Just beware that these little fiends love everything that glitters and will try to claim it for themselves.

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!

"We haven't quite figured out pie crust yet, but it's on my list," she assured her. "Got some good jogan fruit bars though, they're purple and sweet and light."

She pulls the door open for Amanda and gestures for her to go in first. "I roll like nobody's business, I admit. Only been here a couple months, but everyone's been so great at helping me get my space legs, so to speak."

"Woman after my own heart, kinda did the same back where I'm from. We had ta move around tryin to get to the Last City. Place that was still safe for people to live. So it was roll with things or you weren't gonna make it."

There was a value in flexibility and being able to adapt and move on your feet, Amanda knew this and it gave her a bit more respect for Clarice. She nodded her thanks as she stepped inside the cafe and rubbed her hands together before looking around at the brightly lit interior.

"Friend of mine ... he told me about these pigeons. Certain breed of them." She spoke easily, moving behind the counter to make her a strong cup of herbal tea and serve up one of those fruit bars. "When they're trying to impress their mates, they fly up high and roll down as close to the ground as they can get before they pull up out've it. He called me a deep roller. ... I guess that applies to this, too."

"Back home I make these things, they started out as basic transports. One person sort of things called 'em Sparrows. Quick little things zip right around. But I liked to soup 'em up and see how fast I could make 'em go. Started my very of racing league." The more excited she got the more her accent came out.

She gladly accept the bar and tore into it, she stopped talking to offer a low whistle. "That ain't half bad!" she chewed more slowly, thoughtfully and savored another bite before she went on.

"Anyway, I guess where I was goin with that was, you sometimes don' know what you're gonna roll with till you're in it."

"Oh, that sounds like it'd be a blast," Starling said, falling into country right alongside her, the same as she had with Cobb. It was nice to have people who felt like Her People here, and she had a feeling she could pass the same sentiment to her new friend. "I had a Mustang, back home - car, not the horse. Not quite supercharged, but it could definitely hold its own when you let it out on a back road. ... I like that, though, the rolling when you're in it. That's good."

She grinned, savoring the good company and, not for the first time, realizing that she had more friends she felt comfortable with here on Temba after two months than she ever had at her full tenure of the Bureau.
