TEST DRIVE
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...

"I imagine so. That is why I am glad you're not cut off. I imagine you would have felt quite lonely if you were."

They were both connected to something other than themselves, and though Altair could not understand what it was to be a Joiner, connection he could at least understand. He knew that many were uneasy around Joiners, but he had never been that way. Nor had he disliked the Killiks during his time on Alderaan- he'd found them quite fascinating, in fact.

He tilted his head at the mention of his aura being unique, "Is it? I shall hope then that it is not unpleasant in its uniqueness- though I find it hard to imagine a Sith's aura being pleasant, I suppose."

Though perhaps his wasn't quite the worst. He'd never let himself fall so far into the dark that he'd stopped being a proper person, after all.

"It is not. We have met very few Sith, but they have similar aura's. Your's is..." Vector searched for how to describe it. "Lighter. Not as harsh."

Of the few Sith he'd met, their auras had been dark, an almost angry shade of red, seeping with darkness. But Altair's aura, it was softer, with a hint of lightness to it. More of a purple color. It was difficult to describe to one who wasn't a Joiner.

"Lighter, hm?" Altair mused, tilting his head slightly. Had it been any other Sith, they likely wouldn't appreciate it, but him? He'd been working toward becoming something less dark than he had been. He didn't mind his aura being something lighter- in fact, he took it as a good sign.

Not that he'd react quite as well had any other Sith been around. Being lighter was a goal he'd worked towards, but he knew that should something like that reach the wrong ears, it wouldn't go well for him. He knew what happened to Sith who didn't know how to hide their true selves. He knew what any shadow of doubt could do to a Sith.

"I'll accept that. At least here. And I'll be pleased on your behalf that my aura isn't an eyesore."

[killikambassador]

"Thank you, my lord. Altair," Hopefully it wouldn't take long for Vector to get used to calling the Sith by his name rather than address him in a more formal matter. Between his diplomatic skills and inherent politeness, it just naturally occurred to him to refer to Altair as such.

No doubt any other Sith would insist on still being treated with reverence. Altair was no ordinary Sith, clearly.
