Application FAQ | Taken Characters | Reserves | Application
Welcome to the first Test Drive for The Revival Project!
For those who do not know, this game is a spin-off from The Drift Fleet game, which is shortly closing. For more information about what this game is about, please check out the FAQ here or the premise here.
The TDM for the first round of applications is NOT required but is highly recommended. Really this is to see the interest level in the game as well as to have everyone interact on the new planet and with the new experiences offered here. There will be a post in the TDM where questions can be asked regarding the prompts/settings. We're keeping this loose though so go ahead and have fun with it. Any questions about the game please direct to the comment section of the FAQ.
If you are a Drift Fleet alumni, please label your character as 'DFAU' on your top level so we know. 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! The only option not allowed is to completely restart your character (because then it's not DFAU, is it?)
So go! Explore Agra 10! And, as always, HAVE FUN!
In the square near your arrival point, one building seems to be in fairly good repair. It’s large and stark white on every wall. Unlike the other buildings, all the lights are on and the windows looking out are intact. That alone would make it remarkable but it’s hardly the most noticeable thing once you step inside the open doorway.
Hanging against one wall is a piece of fabric that has ‘WHALE COMB!’ painted on it in drippy, fluorescent pink letters. A smiley is painted underneath it right on the wall with three eyes and long fangs. The fangs drip down all the way to the floor and the eyes are just a blob of paint, but whoever left it seems to have been trying, here. ‘US THANK THEY!’ is written beside it, barely legible. On every other wall is ‘EAT’ in various sizes and colors. They thankfully don’t drip as much as the smiley since, beneath them, are tables upon tables of food.
There are meats, fruits, root vegetables, and even what might be a sweet dessert of some sort as well. Bowls are full of them, apparently a welcome dinner for the Agrii’s new heroes. At the very least it will give everyone a quick crash course on what is edible around here. But some of it might have … adverse effects:
- People chomping down on the striped meat all seem to get very drowsy a few minutes later.
- The red fruit that looks like a giant cherry is the equivalent of a few shots - the more consumed, the more drunken this party is getting.
- There is a bowl of weeds that have small, daisy-like flowers all along the stalks. This tastes like chicken and gives the eater a sudden burst of energy that will have them running around the room like they’re being chased.
-There are a collection of drinks, some made from the red fruit, some that are clearly water, some that taste like a less-sweet lemonade with no effects, and then there's a blue one that tastes like an especially dark beer. People drinking this will find themselves incapable of lying for a half hour.
Of course, no way to know any of this before you chow down. So dig in and enjoy the show!
They said don’t go into the forest. If the noises there weren’t deterrent enough then the thick trees and lack of paths should have been. Yes, you’ll need food. Yes, both meat and many fruits are in the forest. But maybe you should have gotten some more information before heading in.
Congratulations: you went into the forest and are now lost. You can’t hear the murmurings from town, nor can you see any of the lights that might be flickering on and off in the city. How are you going to get back into town? How do you make sure that the creatures here don’t attack you? You probably don’t have any weapons, so you’d better figure something out quick.
Or, maybe you’ll get lucky and run into another foolish person wandering around out here. Try not to attack them - unless they attack first.
The first thing every survivor needs to find is shelter. Not long after your arrival at the fountain, it’s getting darker now and, even if the night is short (you’re about to find out it’s not!), you don’t want to spend your first one out on an unfamiliar street. Distantly you can hear a sound like a wolf howling through an elephant’s trunk. It’s loud and alien. Maybe you want to find somewhere to sleep a little more quickly.
Right away there are two pretty solid options that will do nicely for the night: an abandoned hotel-like structure and some empty stores.
The hotel structure seems to be the most popular option for others. Its large, overgrown lobby leads you to the staircase and over a dozen floors of rooms in varying conditions. Despite it looking as though no one has set foot in here for decades, the stairs and floors all are secure. The rooms that have doors on them open up to dusty rooms that all have a bathroom (of sorts) attached and long, narrow bed frames. Figuring out a mattress will be a challenge but at least this is a safe place to sleep. As long as no animals laid claim to this room before you got in...
But let’s say the room in the hotel doesn’t work for you. Maybe the room is too small for you. Maybe you don’t like the stairs. Maybe you want someplace private to separate yourself from the rest of these strangers and to think quietly about what to do next. Either way, the other option is any number of abandoned stores lining the block where you arrived. The glass doors and windows of many are broken but there are just as many intact as well. The rooms are all large and empty, as whatever wares inside were either taken or dissolved over the years. There may be a counter or two that will get you off the ground, though. With all this space, you’re bound to find something to sleep on.
Unless someone else got there, first...

"Strong grip you got there, man." And then his eyebrows raise, because things just took a weird turn, and not just because Tommy was talking about emo-ninja phases. "Either that's the weirdest coincidence or- I don't even know. But I'm Clint."
Yeah, try explaining that one. Clint's got nothing, except maybe he's got a doppelganger out there. He supposes that wouldn't be so weird in the grand scheme of things.
no subject
“Yeah, part of the speedster mutant package deal. Muscles that break the sound barrier on a whim are also strong. Coincidence, though? Hardly. This place has variations on a lot of people I know. You’re just rounding out my original avengers set. Just need Stark and Mar-Vell and Pym.”
no subject
Until they did.
He noted Tommy's use of the word mutant, and he zeroes in on that. "So, you're one of the enhanced?"
He can actually take that in stride since meeting Wanda and Pietro.
no subject
That's not a word he's heard used before.
"What in the world is an enhanced? Wait, like Wanda? Uh, no? I'm a mutant. I was born this way."
no subject
"Okay, yes, we get beat sometimes, but no one ever said we were gonna win everything." He shrugs and stops rambling. "Yeah, like Wanda." He's just using the terminology he heard, unaware that there's a distinction. Until now, that is.
"Sorry, man, I'm not the authority on this stuff. I'm just a normal guy." Mostly.
no subject
Trust him, Hawkeye, he respects your skills. Even if he can outrun them.
“Mutants, Homo superior. Our abilities are caused by genetics. We have the ‘x-gene’. So this is all natural. No Mind Stone fiddling involved.”
Interesting he should cite that specifically.
no subject
Still, he appreciates the fact that Tommy seems to respect him and his abilities.
"Huh. I guess just because I've never heard of it doesn't mean it can't be possible. The x-gene. Interesting." He's mulling this over because it really is the first he's heard of it. "So, there's others like you, then."
no subject
"Besides, if someone puts a magic mojo down or fires an EMP off or something, you can still fight. And they can't always. And the trick arrows are awesome. Kate told me once you made a boomerang arrow. Fucking sweet."
The guy is smart, and Tommy feels like he's probably underestimated with that.
Still, there's the other comment. Of course there are others like him. And he's definitely going to ignore a lot of the drama that comes with it. He nods.
"Not many. A small percentage of the world population. But we exist. It runs in my family, for instance. Well, one half of it."
no subject
It's still weird that Tommy knows of him, but he's gradually learning to take this all in stride. "You bet I can still fight." He can't help but snort a little at the thought of him not being able to do anything else. Sure, he's not the most powerful, but his blows still pack a significant punch. "Boomerang arrow? Man, I need to remember that for later."
Thanks, Tommy, you're giving him things to think about here.
"Hey, I think that's pretty cool too." Sure, like most things, it could very easily go south, especially if there's someone planting the wrong ideas in people's heads, but when viewed strictly at face value, the idea of people with extra, enhanced abilities could be useful. Never mind that such things don't exist in a vacuum, and they can be used for good as well as evil. "Is it breaking some kind of rule if you tell me what other kinds of individuals there are out there?"
no subject
"Nah, don't see why it would be breaking any kind of rules. I mean, we've got all sorts. Magic and mutants and people that use technology to change sizes. Alien princes and alien cockroach hybrids apparently. Super geniuses too. It's all pretty cool."
no subject
"I figure people like their privacy, and why should that be any different for you?" But he listens to Tommy's summary of mutants, and he finds himself intrigued. "I still can't wrap my head around the fact that I used to think the biggest thing I'd have to worry about was rogue agents." Things have definitely changed.
no subject
But that is his opinion alone
