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!

"Sod off, I called dibs on this bar, and I intend to drink all of it. Go find your own." Constantine waved his hands in a shooing motion, which sadly didn't do much to stop the interloper from interloping further.

"Hey, didn't you hear me? I said piss off!"

[glarefully]

Did that human actually just shoo him? He's a bloody demon, not some stray cat looking for dregs of milk.

Completely unphased by the shooing, he makes his way over to the sad little bar that the man had taken up a post behind.

"Listen, usually I'm all for the whole... you know, temptation of over-indulgence thing, but I'm really not in the mood for it." Crowley said as he leaned over the bar's countertop, practically laying on it, and started trying to rummage for any bottles below.

[onewaytohell]

"I said--" Constantine started, but the arrogant beanpole sod draped himself over the bar and started fishing around like it was a bleeding free-for-all. Which. It was but Constantine had been counting on it as more of a free for him.

He dragged a bottle of scotch away from the grasping hand and glared up at the owner. "Can't you leave a man to try and drink himself into oblivion in peace?"

[glarefully]

Crowley leaned his elbows on the bartop, propping his chin on a hand, and looked up at Constantine.

"Well, you know what they say. Misery loves company, and all that. I mean, I'm sure there's plenty of booze stashed away in this shithole for the two of us." He gestured towards the bottles, just out of his reach. "You could probably drink yourself to death and back again several times over with what's here. What's the harm in some other sorry sod helping himself?"

It was a little in the wrong direction than his usual temptation, but a gentle nudge of 'what's the harm' was generally a good place to start.

[onewaytohell]

"Bold of you to assume that's enough to do me in, squire," Constantine laughed, but reached up to pluck another bottle down and set it in front of the other man.

He grabbed a couple of glasses, figuring that they should at least try to drink like respectable types since he's no longer attempting to drink the entire bar dry himself. He poured for them both and tapped his glass against the other.

"So, what's your name? And were you snatched here as I was?"
