SUMMER 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:

Hot Summer Time!

Summer has arrived and you know what that means: It's time to head out and spend some time at the beach, lounging on its bluish, almost purple sand, going for a swim or gathering some of the fat, green lobsters just wandering around the beach. They may be tasty, but remember that their pinch is toxic. It won’t kill you but it will definitely have the pinched body part swelling up and itching like a bad wool sweater.

If hunting for food isn't what you came here for, then sunbathing is always an option. Even if the color seems odd, this sand, also, likes to go literally everywhere.

Simply hopping into the water is also rarely a bad idea. This close to the coast there are no harmful creatures in the water, so whether you brought a swim suit, hop in fully clothed or have no care in the world about who might stumble over you naked, Agra 10's ocean is yours to play in.

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I'll try to resist the urge.

[It's meant to be lightly sarcastic, but after the dreams he's had it sounds flat. There's a monster from his nightmares that had just been trying to tear its claws into his skin, its hate made into a visceral, tangible thing. He's just glad that the silver-haired guy that had come to his rescue doesn't seem particularly bothered by the creature, as if he fights peoples' nightmares all the time.

Really, he was just hoping this meant that there wouldn't be questions that he wasn't allowed to answer afterward. The way that he moved at least allowed Ronan to cling to the belief that his nightmare wouldn't hurt him. How could anyone keep up with him? When Tommy moves it's like the horror is standing still. He can't help the awe, even if he prefers to be intentional in his reactions, the moment steals it from him.

He sort of doubts the suggestion of there being somewhere safe- at least somewhere safe he wont be putting people in danger. But he stays, he watches as the branch shatters, it doesn't kill it, but it does make Tommy the recipient of its attention. It's rather like some blend of shadows and a crow, married to parts of human anatomy that serve to make it more strange not less. It makes a sound somewhere between a caw and a scream and lunges for the speedster with beak and claws.

It moves fast -- faster than Ronan expected. Not enough to be a match for Tommy, but like its struggles with Ronan had been more playing with its food.]

Aw cute, look at it, it thinks it's fast.

[This is said with an offhand sort of snark as Tommy's hands come up to grab the thing by the neck. A hand has to knock an outstretched claw aside, but it's done with enough speed and force that the crack is absolutely audible.]

You picked bad prey, monster. This one? I'm protecting him.

[With that the hand around the thing's neck started to blur as it vibrated. Time for a nice explosion. Or at least to seriously hurt the thing.]

[Honestly, Ronan actually appreciates Tommy's snark. It makes the moment feel a little less serious, a little bit less like Ronan had manifested a monster from his nightmares. This wasn't something where someone could die, like those worst sorts of dreams.

He doesn't move from where Tommy left him, and he stays quiet, not wanting to draw the thing's attention, or make things any harder for the silver-haired guy that had just saved him. The fact that the moment feels a little bit lighter doesn't change that fact. It is not a long fight; there's that crack and then Tommy's hand started to blur, and suddenly the monster was just a corpse.

Ronan exhales, cursing shit softly under his breath, his tone something that's both shocked and fascinated. His world had been a very small and insulated thing: the Barns, his family, school, and the occasional trip. The idea of someone else who was impossible and didn't share his blood had never occurred to him before that moment.]

Hey. You're alright? I mean- thanks.

[The thing goes limp so fast that Tommy is actually half disappointed. He frowns at hte limp form in his hands and shrugs, tossing it aside. And throws an explosion at it in the mean time. THe pieces of it fly and Tommy cringes before turning back to Ronan. It's between one heartbeat and the next that he's back at the guy's side.]

I'm fine. I've had harder fights out of Skrull, I promise. What about you? Well, who are you off course. I'm Tommy. And we should probably get you back to the city, somewhere safe to sleep.

[The night horrors aren't used to fighting superheroes; at least not yet. They're tormentors of a teenager that hasn't even really come into his powers, manifestations of guilt and worse things. Personal terrors; having someone like Tommy was almost cheating, but considering that it left Ronan alive and it not, it seemed like a decent solution for the moment. His lips twitch into something that's almost a smile.]

So you do this sort of thing a lot? Monsters, I mean. [It's a good thing to know for more reason than one.] Ronan. I guess I'm new.

[He's not sure that the city is actually safe for someone like him, but if things similar enough linger out here, then staying clearly isn't a great idea, either.]

[Hey, Tommy would take pride in being cheating against something as creepy as that. Just call him your hero, kid.]

Here? Sometimes the predators get worked up, but no, not often. Back home? Yeah. I'm a super hero after all. Gotta deal with weird shit.

[He offered out his hand with a smile.]

Tommy. I'm also known as Speed. Welcome to Agra 10. Sorry it sucks.
