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:

- Explore the city! There's a map here 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. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (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 it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Is that a chill in the air? It seems to be getting just a little colder, day by day... or maybe it's your imagination? But just in case it's not, you might want to thinking about prepping for what could be winter. Does that mean gathering plants to dry for food? Stockpiling water, or trying to get the power to stay steady in the buildings so you won't freeze (does it even get down to freezing, here - who knows!)? It's up to you!

- Can you hear me now? 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.

- 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...

Twin Roses!

Krista doesn't belong on this ship, exactly, but she's been sneaking aboard everything that isn't the Bishop when she gets a chance, trying to note any changes, taking notes in her big hardbound journal with a quill-pen gifted to her by her pile of ghost friends.

She's realizing she doesn't remember everything quite the way she should. A lot of details are fuzzy, and she has to relearn so many things she didn't even realize she's missing... But the feeling of dread has stuck with her, though, and the sense that she is always being watched, so when a voice calls out from the entrance of the ship, she startles a lot more than she should have.

"Oh--" says a very quiet voice (she can't help it), as the teen glances nervously around before spotting Misty, "Oh, jeez. Sorry, should I not be here?"

[mistyday]

At least someone answered! That's very good, seeing as she hasn't encountered any actual people yet, just that... computer thing, the one that downloaded information about Agra 10 into her brain. Lot like the augments, come to think about it. She touches the back of her neck and finds that familiar lump where the augment lies. One more question to find the answer to. Hopefully, this girl can help.

Misty offers her a reassuring smile. "I don't know. I don't even know if I should be in here. You're the first person I've seen, since..." She waves her hand vaguely in the direction of the courtyard and the data point at the center of the city. "Since I got here. Ain't been all that long, though."

[ladiesss]

"Oh...!"

She listens to all of this, visibly relaxing as she realizes what's actually going on. Seeming very adult-like for someone so young, she snaps her book shut and takes a few steps in the other's direction to close the gap.

"Got it, no worries. My name's Krista."

She'll stuff her book under her arm, and hold the other out for a handshake. She didn't miss the small gesture towards what looks like an augment, but she's busy giving a small, reassuring smile of her own.

"And, uh, I think this is where I should probably say 'welcome'?"

Misty looks a little familiar to her, too. She just can't pinpoint exactly how. Maybe she was one of the dozens of faces that crossed the network back then...

[mistyday]

It's all easier, this second time around. She's doesn't sound at all scared or worried. Instead, her voice is full of genuine warmth as she takes Krista's hand in hers, "Nice to meet you! I'm Misty." If she recognizes Krista, she shows no sign of it. Her memories are probably fuzzier than most, given where she ended up after the Drift Fleet.

She drops her hand and spins slowly, taking in everything. It's a little like stepping into a dream, where things are not exactly right, but you know what they are anyway. She runs a hand across one of the control panels but doesn't push any buttons. She knows better than that.

"How long have you been here?"

[ladiesss]

Krista just watches, curious to see what she does and doesn’t do. She doesn’t seem dangerous or nervous or anything, so that’s a pretty good sign.

“Um, about a month now. Maybe a month and a half.”

She looks over at the controls as well, before adding, “I was stuck in the Drift Fleet for about a year before that, though.”

[mistyday]

Misty lights up at the mention of the Fleet and her smile only grows. Granted, she was one of the few to have positive feelings about being in the Fleet but she's also pleased to meet someone who was there too. "Really? What ship were you on, before? This one was mine." She pauses and considers her surroundings, especially the unfamiliar bits. "Well... kinda."
