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!

Alive, yeah. I don't think people would appreciate dead fish floating in the tank.

Heh, don't know what getting drunk is? Hang around my bar sometime and you might see someone do just that. It's what happens when someone drinks too much alcohol- they start acting funny.

[Cayde chuckles, glancing down at Alberto to flash him a smile. That particular phrasing doesn't get past him, but he doesn't point it out.]

I know, I am one handsome Exo. But thank you for noticing.

[Grinning, he reaches over to ruffle the kid's hair.]

Ready to head back down yet?

[silenziobruno]

They're not very entertaining when they're just floating upside down, no. And they get smelly very quickly. [ Alberto smiles. He will have to find a bucket or some place to put the fishes but he will try to find really pretty ones for the exo.

Cayde, you're talking to a 14-year-old, inviting him to a bar to see drunk people might not be the wisest move. So, of course, Alberto looks thrilled by the idea. ]

Oh, that sounds entertaining. [ He heard the word 'funny' and pretty much didn't pay attention to anything else. What even is alcohol? He doesn't know, doesn't much care, really. He's relieved that Cayde is soon enough back to laughing, and he makes a happy noise of his own when his hair is ruffled. ]

Yeah, we can go. This has been fun but I figure you must be busy with your bar and all. [ Time to climb Cayde again, more carefully this time. ]

[deal_me_in]

[It'll be a learning experience!

In any case, Cayde's not one to stay sad for long. He shakes his head.]

Busy? Nah. It's pretty much self-run. I threw it together more so people could have a space to hang out, have a few drinks. But it's nice having a place to just have a place to relax when I'm not climbing cliffs and things.

[He stoops down so Alberto won't have to put too much effort into climbing back up.]

Don't I owe you lunch?

[silenziobruno]

[ Oh that for sure, yep. He will ask so many questions to the drunk patrons too, now that will be fun. ]

Like a hideout of sorts to hang out with friends. I had something similar back home, the ruined tower where I used to live. [ So, really, it was nothing like what Cayde described, except maybe in spirit.

The boy murmurs a quick 'thanks' and gets into position, legs wrapped around the Exo's middle and arms holding onto his pauldron and shoulder. Then he brightens at Cayde's questions because FOOD. He's always in the mood for food. ]

True. The lobster got away, I almost forgot. Are we going to try to catch another?

[deal_me_in]

Heh, you like high places too? I'll have to show you my clocktower back in town here.

[Cayde straightens up again once Alberto's in position.]

Oh yeah, let's do it. Those lobsters won't stand a chance.

[And once Alberto's set, the Exo's just going to jump. Right on off the cliff. He'll jump again before they get too close to the ground, to pad his landing better.]

[silenziobruno]

I always do, they have the best views. [ He waves an arm around to drive the point home, smiling all the way. ] I'd like to see that.

[ That unexpected jumps earns Cayde a surprised yelp that turns into a loud laugh as they descent and jump before touching the ground. Alberto is never going to get used to how cool is that, and he doesn't want to.

He still had a long way before he starts to get used to the idea of living in a hotel different planet, but Cayde helped a lot already, and he's glad to have made such a great and badass friend. ]
