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!

"Of course. Kree are a spacefaring people," Lauri-Ell answered. Surely that's certain at this point.

Common traits, yes, very true.

"Plants and animals exist on planets. People consume. War happens."

Space was different in the knight's mind to being in a world and learning of its customs and people. But he remained silent as he listened.

And yet somehow a disappointed sigh came out as he heard the news. "So all the same, and war cannot be avoided."

"Forgive me," Lauri-Ell admitted with a sigh, "I have not seen many of beyond war itself. I was made for war."

"It is not your fault." Hendrik replied. And while he too could say he was made for war, he didn't. He looked forward to the day that it was no longer necessary.

"And forgive me if I am in error, but there is no war here, correct?"

No, it is not her fault, and she appreciates when someone made that statement. Otherwise she did feel as if she was failing.

"As far as I am aware, there is not. I do not know why I was chosen."

Hendrik nodded. Well at least there wasn't a war that he needed to participate in. Back home he kept looking forward to going back to Heliodor and settle back down there especially since Mordegon had been defeated.

"There must be more to worlds than war then especially if one is not present in this place."

"Perhaps," she said, her voice soft and tired. "I don't know if that is true. It can be... difficult to find places without war."

But she was glad that there were those that did not have them. Perhaps those worlds had flowers.

"That is true." Hendrik replied with a nod. "But surely there are things to do in the meantime besides waiting to return to whence we came."

He had no idea how this world worked or even would work but it would be interesting to find out.

"Of course. These people who brought us here. They need us to solve a mystery, and to restore their world. Do you know anything of building?"

Perhaps he does, perhaps he doesn't.

"Solve a mystery of their own world?" That was a riddle in itself. Wouldn't their captors (for lack of a better term) know how to solve it? Well then he thought about it a moment and there was so very much that the Luminary had taught him that he hadn't known about their own world.

However, the question had him think of what he knew. "Do you perhaps mean building in the sense of how to construct something?"

"They have been gone from it a long time I think. You see how ruined it is."

But his understanding makes her smile. Clearly he does. Which is probably the wrong interpretation of his words but she's a very spirited woman with very faulty understanding of many things.

"Yes, like that. Buildings and furniture and many things."

"That is troubling indeed." Hendrik replied. He could definitely see what Lauri-Ell was talking about and it did bother him on some level.

He nodded as she replied in the affirmative. "I have no knowledge of how to build a building or furniture. But I have helped to build a fortress around a village for defense."

Ah! That would be lovely. Lauri-Ell smiled.

"Defensible positions are good to make. We could use more here. This is merely a city. I fear that one day we might find enemies trying to stop our attempts to free this place.

"That is even more vexing." Hendrik replied with a sigh. "But I do not quite understand. Why would anyone wish to stop the freeing of the world? Would that not also imply that we ourselves would be imprisoned indefinitely?"

He's not happy with this line of thought.

"It is not anyone here that would stop our efforts I think."

So it was a different problem really. They had to figure out how to make things safe from those that might wish tto stop them.
