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!

~~Save the emotional reunion for the real deal :-P~~

Of course Steve was out here, should've guessed. Where ever he could get himself into trouble, or beat, or half drowned. Bucky strolled along the sand, kicking away one of those lobsters before it could get too close, and smiling fondly after Steve. This was how he still pictured him, all scrawny and more brave than someone his size had any right to be.

"You're gonna catch your death out there, you know that?" he called in a teasing voice.

Steve turned and smiled at his friend. His very different, older, and part robot friend. But still, it was Bucky. No one else could Mother Hen like him.

"Are you just jealous 'cause you'll rust now?" Teasing right back as always.

"'Sides, with those weird lobsters, the bugs, and everything else I've heard about, I think the water might be the safest place around!"

"No, I just don't wanna have to come pry you outta some alien shark's mouth," Bucky shot back.

It was like the last 80 years had never happened, the banter as easy as it had ever been. And he had to Mother Hen- a stiff breeze could knock Steve out for a week, and he was far too headstrong to look after himself. It's why they got long so well.

"Yeah, that's just 'cause we can't see what's out there to be worried about it."

"Likely story, Buck."

He hadn't gotten the whole story behind the arm yet but he figured it couldn't be anything good. Still, it wasn't in their relationship to baby each other. Bucky might guard him like a pit bull but he never coddled. Warned and advised, sure, but never coddled. It was part of how their relationship got as strong as it did. Steve wasn't about to drop it now.

"Admit it: you sink like a rock now with all that steel and you don't wanna get embarrassed when I gotta save you. What would the dames think?"

He snorted and lilted his head to the side, before offering a nod.

"Mm, you got me. That's it. You go ahead, I'll call in the cavalry if you get swept out to sea," he promised.

Joining him would show off the scars where flesh met metal, and Bucky wasn't really prepared for Steve to see him like that.

"Sides, there's not a lotta dames round here to disappoint, in case you didn't notice."

Steve smirked, feeling victorious. He padded out into the water and sat down in the shallow area, letting the waves crash over him as he relaxed.

"I did notice that, actually. We get any sorta reason for how come? Seems odd."

His smirk returned.

" 'sides, who are ya spinning around the dance floor? You need someone."

Bucky walked along the shore, hands in his pockets and he shrugged. It was one of the many mysteries of this place he couldn't begin to answer.

"Maybe they're sexist?" he offered with a glance towards the sky, not really seeming to believe in that explanation, and he chuckled softly, shaking his head.

"Not doing much dancing these days, Steve." There was a bit of a wistful twinge on his face. That was a lifetime ago for him, but here with Steve...he missed it.

Steve frowned at that. He moved a little deeper so he could swim alongside Bucky as he walked.

"And you're just accepting that? You? Bucky Barnes?"

He tried a smile again and a gentle tease, "C'mon. I bet you lost that arm spinning half the ladies in France around. Sure you could get someone to dance around here.

"If you need me to, I'll even go alongside to make you look better."

"It's complicated, Steve." Bucky sided. And he didn't want to have introduce him to horrors he hadn't had to face yet. "Sides, there's no good music for dancing here, just that modern stuff."

He twisted a playful face. "...I could. It's not a question of could. And you know, last time I tried to bring you dancing you took off."

When Steve was taken away from his universe, he'd been just about to go off to New Jersey for Erskine's program. Bucky had been gone already. The night he talks about seems only days ago and part of Steve, seeing Bucky now and how complicated both of their lives must have become, regretted not spending it better.

"I watched you show off enough for a lifetime, pal," he said fondly. "But I promise next time I'll stick around."

His lips curled, and Bucky looked like he might protest that for a moment before he grinned lopsidedly. Yeah, maybe he was showing off. Back when he still could next to Steve.

"Gotta find you a date first. Then you can make it up to me."

Steve snorted a laugh and then coughed as he inhaled sea water with it. Between hacks he managed to get out:

"You...you're joking, right? I couldn't...get a date with half the...city deprived of fellas. Now there's...maybe four women and you think this is my moment?"

Bucky laughed, looking out to make sure Steve was all right and he didn't need to go wading in after him.

"Hey I found you dates back home, you're the one who ran out on 'em," he argued and shrugged a shoulder, "M'sure I could rustle someone up that wouldn't mind dancing with a twerp for a night."

"Oh yeah. You got me dates after telling 'em I walked on water and could bench press a horse. I ran out before they could press charges for false advertisin'."

He laughed again and flipped onto his back to float and watch the sky.

"I'm good not dancin'. I always had more fun just watching you. I might not break toes when I trod on'em but it still isn't pleasant for her. Ya know?"
