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...

This city is a basically a graveyard, right? It's fitting, because it seems that he has snagged the attention of a ghost.

The figure halts up as soon as they're spotted, paused quietly beside the wide trunk of a tree. Dressed head-to-toe in a cloak of pale rags, their face is down and mostly obscured by their hood, seemingly watching their own dirty, bare feet more than the person that they had just been moving toward.

And they don't say a thing, just standing there in silence.

Kaz feels his heart beat faster, his eyes widening. Is he being haunted? Of all the ghosts of his past, he can't help but think it's his brother, haunting his steps and decisions, the brutal way he'd clawed to the front of the pack.

"Jordie?" he whispers, sounding more like Kaz, the little boy who lost his brother, than Dirtyhands, bastard of the Barrel. He steps closer slowly, squinting at the figure. But then again, he had thought Van Eck's Grisha under the influence of jurda parem were ghosts, too. Perhaps this figure is something else and someone else. He stops a little ways away, not wanting to spook them.

"Who are you?"

A few moments after he gets close and asks a question, the figure raises their head as if suddenly noticing him for the first time. Their strange eyes fix on him--the irises flat black, reflecting no light--peering at his face for a few hanging seconds before answering.

"Who are you?" Their voice is odd and almost a little too soft for their seemingly masculine features, but the inflection and cadence is a perfect mimic of the other man. Borrowing his words and tone and trying them out for themself. "Who are you? Are you?"

They're not Jordie. A shudder of relief runs through him. He wouldn't face that today.

Are they a ghostly being, though? Or just some strange person? Kaz's expression turns to annoyance, and he waves the figure off.

"I have no time for games. Away with you," he says in his rasp of a voice, taking a step back.

The figure keeps an even distance between them, taking a step forward to make up for his step back. Unfortunately for him, his tone of annoyance doesn't seem to faze them at all.

Whether ghost or person, their curiosity is hooked. They fidget thoughtfully with the edge of their hood while they watch his face. "No time? Why?"
