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!

Helping. Yes, she liked him. A clearly fit man, perhaps a warrior, who wanted to help. That was a good thing.

"Wanting is the first step I think."

Terra nodded. "And I heard there's a lot to do here." This was the report he'd received but he wanted to confirm it. "Plus I have to find to a place to live." That was going to be the harder part, to admit he was stuck here, much like that young boy named Riku had been all of those years ago when they met on Destiny Islands.

A place to live. Well that has her smiling at him.

“Oh there are many places to live. Some people stay on the ships. Others do not like that for when we get forced onto them. I live in the Civics center, because I like being closed to my gym. There’s the houses to the south, and of course the hotel. And William lives in a store that was changed for the purpose.”

Oh she could go on about how interesting the choices humans made about where to live could be. They were great like that, always making new and interesting decisions.

"Well that gives me more of an idea as to where to look." Sure he'd heard of some of the places from Cayde but Lauri-Ell was definitely giving him more info than he'd even thought to ask about. "So..you can live on the ships full time?" Why anyone would want to do that was anyone's guess, but maybe people here were used to that sort of thing. And he did notate that people were forced on them. '

If that was true, why bother finding another place? It was quite the puzzle here.

"You can," Lauri-Ell agreed. "Some people are comfortable here. I am not. It is nice to have solid ground under my feet."

It was not always something a Kree could count on, deployment to a planet rather than some extra-planetary installation.

"I like being close to my gym too. It is nice to dedicate myself to teaching others how to be safe."

Terra nodded. He definitely wasn't going to live in the ship but it was nice to know it was an option if for some reason it became necessary. But he definitely agreed with Lauri-Ell about having the solid ground under his feet.

"I'll get started on that first. Then I'll see what else needs done around here." And who he could help. But establishing a solid base of operations at least in the sense of where to sleep at night would be his priority.

"Very wise," Lauri-Ell agreed with a smile. He deserves to find his own place to fit. "But, as you are a member of this new crew, you might consider piloting."

What? She liked the idea of someone being able to fly this ship.

"Piloting?" Terra asked. The idea hadn't occurred to him though he did pilot his glider. "That sounds like it'd be fun.." And then he started looking around. "But..I don't have the experience with a big ship."

Something this big? Ah, she smiles. "It's okay. The datapoint gives you the knowledge you need. Unless you don't like those things in your mind."

Lauri-Ell was calmer about it than most people. But that came down to the fact that a lot of her training was more 'programming'.

"The good news is that the ships are not crowded anymore."

"Things in my mind." Terra replied, shaking his head. He wasn't sure about them. Yes he'd heard about them but wasn't sure he really wanted to deal with all of it. But then again he supposed he might have to at one point or another.

That could be for another day though.

"Oh..they're not?" he asked. For some reason he thought the ships would be pretty crowded with as many people as he'd seen here.

There were many another days, and if time was willing, he would find something comfortable.

"No. We were overcrowded for a time. Then new ships were found."

"New ships? Where did they find them? Were they just already here?" Terra's mind went over this and wondered if that was so, if there were more just hidden or something, simply waiting to be found or to be discovered.

"They were in the other town. I do not know if it has a name," Lauri-Ell admitted, but she was smiling. The man seemed interested and that was not a bade thing to be.

"I think the Agrii meant them as gifts."

"Other town?" Terra asked even more curious now. "So can we get there easily?" Because if they could then go have a look.

Gifts and new worlds made a strange mix, but he had traveled to other worlds and grabbed munny and items and maps so it would be nice if this one worked something akin to what he was used to.

"There is a train. It will take you to what people call Not-Temba. I have been there for a while. It's nice to be back."

This place was more settled and comfortable.

"A train..and it leads to another part of this world."

It made sense, but trains weren't things he had any real experience with though he had heard of one in a world called Twilight Town. Riku had mentioned it to him briefly. But when Lauri-Ell mentioned that it was nice to be back, he looked up at her. "So..it's nothing like here?"

"Yeah," Lauri-Ell agreed, nodding. Was that hard to believe?

Still, his question has her thinking. Was it really that different? Yes, she thought so.

"It is like here, but different. Like the people that brought us here were not there."

Terra wasn't sure he understood, but maybe that was something best left to him going to check it out on his own. "Well I can go there and see it. And maybe I can see those ships you talked about."

"You may not be able to enter them," Lauri-Ell answered. "If you are assigned to this ship, then this is the one you can access unless someone else lets you in. They are... They are linked to us."

She didn't know if she could explain biometrics to people.

"Oh." And in a way that made sense because keyblades were picky about their owners and maybe the ships were too. And the trio's keyblades turned into their own ships of sorts so he nodded.

"I think I get it."

Perhaps not the ships, but the Agrii who just feel that things are closer.

"I am glad I was able to explain!"

He nodded. "I'll just have to =wait and see how it goes then." Really that was the only way he could think to try things. It worked on his own adventures back home at any rate.

Terra would go by Lauri-Ell's wisdom and not enter the other ships. But it did give him a lot of food for thought.

She offered him a smile.

"Are there any questions I might offer you answers for?"

She wanted to help him adjust the best he could.

Terra shook his head. "No. I'll find more answers out as I go along I guess. But I appreciate all of the help." There was only so much she might be able to answer and as he went along. Terra was more than sure that more answers might crop up.

Lauri-Ell nodded and smiled. That is a good way to live as well.

"I wish you luck in your seeking."
