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!

[Alex gives a derisive snort]

That's good at least. No one thinking this is some great adventure. But seriously. I just got done saving like, three worlds. Don't I get a break?

[It's said sarcastically, but there's a thread of actual annoyance there.]

[Okay, that's interesting. Tommy raises an eyebrow.]

Three worlds? Like, not just one world three times? Because yeah, worlds don't stay saved.

Are you a specialist? Save different worlds from the same problem or very similar problems, or a real troubleshooter? 'Got a problem? Got a world? I got this' sorta dude?

Because man, that's like, Nova Corp or Guardians sorta stuff.

[Alex shrugs, but there's a hint of pride in her expression]
Well, technically I helped stop Ragnarök, so it's more like nine worlds. But y'know, there's several of those that kinda suck. Don't really care that Hel got spared y'know?

And nah, I'm just an Einherjar who got unlucky enough to die right around the same time as my mother was deciding to kick off the end of the world and all.

Better than dying every day in war games

[Dude, he KNOWS about Ragnarok, which means this kid is from another version of earth, right?]

Oh man, you know Norse gods too? My brother went on a life changing trip with Loki, and he's like, looked up to Thor forever. Though if I had to pick one that's interesting I'd probably say that Heimdall guy? The always seeing shit. Super fucing interseting.

What's an Einjerjar?

Eh, most of 'em are just sniffing their own farts and thinking it's perfume. And Heimdall's just a voyeur honestly.

[Alex isn't much of one for reverence or hero worship]

We're the "valorous dead" [Yep, she makes the air quotes] Died fighting, so we get to hang out in Asgard prepping to fight and die at Ragnarök. Lots of fun, let me tell you. [There is sarcasm dripping off that last bit]

[In his world, most of them were heroes. Not as actively as Thor but... But Tommy had been there in the fall of Asgard. In his world the core of their kingdom had been hovering over a town in Oklahoma because reasons and his distress over those he couldn't save had been rather extreme.]

You're actually Asgardian? Or human? I'm sorry, I'm lost. Billy's the Norse buff. I'm just a dude that has had Thor ruin a game of baseball.

[There's a pause as Alex looks thoughtful. Thankfully she's been raised on pop culture media so the idea of different versions of the universe aren't exactly really out there for her]

I get the impression that we're probably talking about very different folks with the same name. Or different versions of the same people.

I'm human though. Just technically dead. Name's Alex by the way. Current pronouns she/her.

[Well, at least she gets that. Some people don't. It gets awkward explaining it. But that Alex knows it makes life truly better.]

Possible we are. I'm definitely aware of the multiverse.

Nice to meet you Alex. I'll note those. I'm Tommy. Uh, he/him I guess? And, well, human-ish but living?

I'd always thought it was just some sci-fi stuff, but it does make a kind of sense.

[She shrugs and then breaks into a half-smile]

Only human-ish?

If we are, I'm the Fi then?

[yeah, the ish thing. That's a fun thing to explain.]

Mutant. It's a thing in my world.

Well, if there really is some sort of multiverse, I suppose we're all fictional to someone somewhere.

[A beat]
I can't decide if that's depressing or not.
So. Mutant like "I've got an extra finger" or mutant like "Totally have sweet super powers?"

[That's both creepy and probably real and never say it to him again because he doesn't like it.]

Totally sweet super powers version

Sweet.
[Alex gives an appreciative nod]

I got a bit of the super strength and speed stuff when I became an Einherjar, but nothing really that interesting. I can also shapeshift, but that's 'cause my mom's Loki.

[Always best to throw that out there early in the conversation. Just in case it changes things]

[Their mom is... Tommy stares.]

Loki. Trickster god. Well that's a lot.

[A derisive snort]

You're telling me.

If you ever meet by brother Billy, mention that. He traveled with our Loki for a while.
