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...
Zuko | Avatar: The Last Airbender
Everything was all a blur. The last thing he remembered was the Agni Kai. The crazed look on his sister’s face, blasts of fire crashing against each other. Then there was the lightning. He had been prepared for it, until the unthinkable happened. He tried to block it, tried to redirect it away from the intended target, which should have been him. But he hadn’t been in the right stance. The energy having coursed chaotically through his body, burning pain left in its wake when it finally exited.
Cold stone was what awaited him on the ground. He could barely move, and the sounds of battle continued to rage around him. Mind numbed by the pain, he couldn’t tell what was going on. Then there she was, turning him over with worry in her blue eyes. Katara’s face was the last thing he saw before everything faded to black.
Had he died? No, he must have passed out. The feel of cold stone was still on his back as he came to. The searing pain in his stomach was still there, but not as intense. Zuko thought he was still in the palace courtyard as he blinked open his eyes. Managing to sit up, he quickly realized this wasn’t where he had been, and that he was now very much alone. Looking around he saw unfamiliar buildings in ruins. There was no Katara, no Appa, and no Azula. Just a dark, hauntingly empty place. Everything silent until he heard the howl of some strange animal.
Struggling, he managed to get to his feet, his eyes catching sight of a glowing orb. Feeling drawn to it he stumbled over and touched it. A flood of information filling his mind, leaving him dazed once it was done. One arm around his middle he then ducked inside a building. It was cold and he could faintly see his breath as he puffed from the exertion. He was tired and weak but he could move. His mind reeling with unanswered questions, the only thing he could do right now was seek shelter and wait for daylight. Leaning against a wall he raised his hand and created a small flame to give him light. Using it to see as he slowly ventured further into the abandoned building.
Not feeling up to climbing any of the stairs, Zuko wearily trudged across concrete floors littered with broken glass and twisted metal. Eventually he came into a small room where there was a pile of old discarded fabric. Somebody’s dirty laundry pile maybe. It was there that he collapsed. A cloud of dust rising from the pile as he did so. It smelled too, but he didn’t care. It was better than spending the night on the cold hard floor. If someone found him, it would be there, until he would finally wake up the next morning and move on.

Do you know which link you followed? I know the mods are trying to track it down and fix it so no one else gets sent to the wrong place.]
