FALL TEST DRIVE MEME
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:

Fall in Temba and Sh'Ka
A new city has been discovered and Sh'Ka turns out to be its name. And if one thing is sure to set these two cities apart, it's their respective amounts of trees. Which becomes even more obvious once summer begins to turn into fall and the first winds pick up, the still long days of Agra 10 become shorter and green leaves turn a light blue and purple before falling off their respective trees.

Now Temba has decidedly fewer trees than Sh'Ka. They are also much smaller and may not necessarily of the same species. The leaves in Temba fall gently. The leaves in Sh'Ka, however? They turn to stone while still attached to their branches and suddenly fall to the floor from high, high up above.

Thud.

They shatter once they hit the ground, which may explain why you haven't really seen any leaf-shaped rocks around. You still may want to try and avoid getting hit too much by this slowly increasing hail of stone leaves.

Explore the city Temba!
Here's a map of Temba 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. What used to be stores or places to live in lies in ruins, but there may still be something to scavenge among the rubble. Do you want to risk a swim in the flooded area that has turned into a deep lake that has yet to be fully explored; or does it draw you to some of the more prominent and partially restored buildings, such as the hotel, the hospital or the amphitheater.

If you are lucky, you might even stumble over The Deep End, the bar located on one of the mid-levels of the tower residences in one of the residence towers. Unfortunately no bright neon signs can lead you there, but it does exist.

Visit the spaceships!
That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar - Or what remains of them. It's painfully obvious that these ships have crash-landed not too long ago and were taken back to the hangar for repairs. You were assigned to one of them and its doors will open for you and let you enter if you wish. (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 as neither of them look as if they will be leaving anytime soon that doesn't really matter either way.

Maybe look around anyway. Or try your hand at some repairs?

Try the network!
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.

There be storms...
These power-altering storms keep ravaging parts of the planet every once in a while. No one truly knows where they come from or what to do about them yet, but one of them appears to be approaching. You have the option to find shelter in one of the buildings to wait for it to pass. Unless, of course, you rather feel drawn to investigate.

Should you step inside the storm, or even get lost in it, it will show ghosts of people you know and those you don't. It drains you of any super-human abilities and tries its best to keep you from getting to its origin. Are you going to try anyways? Or are you going to chase the whispers of people from your past? Maybe you will simply find yourself calling for help or stumble across another lost soul in need of assistance.

More information can be found here.

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. Quite unlike a gathering of potentially dangerous creatures to encounter. The setting is yours to explore and have fun with!

wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 10:44 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh, he wouldn't tell us. Something would go wrong and we'd have to deal with the mess he made by finding the things.

[Listen, he knows Tony's brand. It's pretty obvious.]

Uh...

[Shoot, he just gave up that he didn't know, didn't he?]

Dude, being honest? I haven't been here long at all.
whose_son_am_i: (Default)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-28 10:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[Loki is so very unimpressed.]

Alright, have you found anyone else at all then? Or is it to be we two, continually snarking at each other.
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 10:56 pm (UTC)(link)
Like your snark game is on my level.

[He supposes he should look. SO he opens up the communicator's other apps, the video changing to audio only as he flipped through stuff.]

Uh, looks like some Kree chick. Uh Tony? Wait, is that Nat? She looks so, I don't know, different. What the hell?

[Dammit maybe Loki's made a good point.]
whose_son_am_i: (Default)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-28 11:01 pm (UTC)(link)
[Like Hawkeye's snark was on Loki's level. Really. Still, he waited somewhat patiently. And smirked as the other's voice rose in question.]

Still think I'm lying?
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 11:07 pm (UTC)(link)
You're always lying. Sorta your gig, right? Ancient god of lies and tricks and all that stuff. Trusting what you say is like trusting Hulk to wash his feet on the regular.

[That is to say, not going to happen.]
whose_son_am_i: (Do you hear how you sound?)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-28 11:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Do you still think I'm lying about the possibility of parallel dimensions, then?

[Because yes, Loki lied. A lot. But not always.]

Besides, always lying would be useless. You have to sprinkle the truth in every now and then so no one can truly tell the difference.

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 11:16 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dammit, Clint hated saying the dude that tormented him and took over his mind was RIGHT about something.]

Fine, yes, I believe it. Which means this probably isn't just my usual space kidnapping. Which sucks.
whose_son_am_i: (Avengers--straight on watching)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-28 11:32 pm (UTC)(link)
[Loki sighed, and raised a hand up to his rest his forehead in.]

It also means we're stuck together.

[Then he's giving Clint a measuring look, arms crossed.]

I'm not going to pretend I don't have history with you, Archer--because I do. But...a lot has happened since then. Things have played out differently for me, than the version you're used to.
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Name's still Hawkeye. You'd think you'd learn a guy's name while literally mind controlling them to kill their friends and coworkers but hey, I get it. Just human.

[Yep, still annoyed at that.]
whose_son_am_i: (Ragnarok --serious)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-28 11:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[A longer pause, and a sigh.]

Very well, Hawkeye. We're still stuck together.
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (World's Grumpiest Archer)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 11:48 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't know. City's pretty big. I expect I could go a long time without running into you. Could even make a bet on it.

[Stuck is not something he's doing here.]
whose_son_am_i: (Charmed Smile)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-28 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
A fair point. Still, you've been helpful.

[With a little nod, and a not-at-all-genuine smile.]
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-28 11:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh fuck you. I wasn't helpful. I am NOT helpful to you.

[Never wants to be helpful to you, boy giant.]
whose_son_am_i: (Default)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-29 12:04 am (UTC)(link)
Well there's no reason to be rude.

[Struck a nerve, did he? Loki did try to not grin.]

So if you run into trouble then, I won't help you in turn?
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (The Hawkeye)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-29 12:11 am (UTC)(link)
[Of course he struck a nerve. Struck it with a pointy mind control stick with a glowy blue light, remember?]

See, your help comes with strings attached. Only strings I need attached are those on my bow.
whose_son_am_i: (Avengers-side-amused)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-29 12:22 am (UTC)(link)
[Loki shrugged, and looked amused.]

Not all of my 'strings' are bad, but suit yourself. You've still been helpful.

[An incline of his head as if to say 'thank you'.]

wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-29 12:24 am (UTC)(link)
[Ewwwww helpful.]

I think I need a shower.

Don't go blowing up shit. Or, yanno, warn me first.
whose_son_am_i: (Charmed Smile)

[personal profile] whose_son_am_i 2021-09-29 12:44 am (UTC)(link)
Now where would be the fun in that?

[There is definitely a sly grin now, including a small laugh.]

But, as a show of good will, I will warn you. Fair?
wisecracking_shot: Clint Barton from Avengers Assemble (Default)

[personal profile] wisecracking_shot 2021-09-29 12:46 am (UTC)(link)
Fair enough.

[Not that he believes it.]

Don't fall off the edge of the world or something.
