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!

Hm, I can see how that would be weird. If they know medicine, can they learn other things? Do droids ever play? Maybe these droids are also around, just like your other friends. This city is so big, we can't know it for sure just yet.

[ Alberto is grabbing different pieces of the wall, inspecting them, and then letting them fall when it's clear they will be of no use. He replies a 'Salute!' when she sneezes and then nods at Omega's question, his tail waving a little. ]

Through space? Oh, I need to get me a ship like that one. Luca would love it. [ Why, yes, that's the main reason why Alberto wants one now, so he can show space to his friend. ] Sure! I'm the best at swimming, you'll see. I'll teach you everything. I've seen how some humans swim and boy, do you need help.

[ He planned on teaching Giulia once she was back in Portorosso the next summer but maybe that won't be possible anymore. It saddens him to think about it and teaching Omega instead will be a good distraction. When the girl approaches, Alberto has collected tree different rocks in his hands, hoping that one will do the trick, and then looks over at her offering and nods. ]

That might work, yes. Good find. [ Holding the rocks to his chest with one webbed hand, he takes the metal and smiles at her.

Now it's a matter to start the fire, so they move closer to the piled roots. It's harder than it looks, the conditions being less than ideal, and Omega might want to wrap herself with the curtain again as he works. The first rock is a total failure, it breaks when Alberto slides it over the metal piece, prompting the sea monster to make a small, displeased hissing sound. The second rock resists and after the fifth time dragging it over the metal, sparks start flying. The wood eventually catches on fire and Alberto lets out a triumphant sound. ]

Hah! There it is. Come closer, you'll feel better once you're dry.

[small_compromise]

They can learn lots of things. I'm sure they'd play if they were allowed. The Kaminoans were pretty strict about things. They're all very focused on their jobs. Oh, but Gonky knows how to have fun, I think. He's a good droid.

Who's Luca? A friend of yours?

[She looks excited at the prospect of learning to swim, but at the moment she'd rather get dried off and warm.

After handing off her find to Alberto, she crawls back under the curtain to watch him work, her face set in such a way that it seems she's trying to help start the fire by just staring it into existence. It's a little disappointing at first, but once the sparks catch, even Omega lets out a small whoop.]

That was amazing!

[She scoots closer to the fire, already feeling the difference, slight as it is.]

[silenziobruno]

Life's boring if you follow rules and work all the time, who needs those? And yes, Luca is the best. I've met him this summer, he wanted to see the world, so we planned on getting our own Vespa and travel everywhere. [ And then a whole lot of more complicated things happened that Alberto isn't too keen on talking about because it's really not the time and place for that. ] He likes space a lot, I think he would have liked talking to you about it.

[ Maybe Luca is in the city too but part of him doesn't fully believe that idea because Alberto never had that kind of luck. He'd rather focus on learning more about Omega instead now that the fire will keep them both warmer. ]

Told you I could do it. [ He grins, fins playfully flaring a little. The fire isn't much, but it's a good start. His tail curls a little around himself because even if he can stand the cold better than Omega, he can still feel it. ]

Do you think we could find one of these ships your friend use and go back to our homes?
