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!

[Uh, well that's an awkward statement. Good thing they don't have a video up. Because the way he would cringe at remembering how he had a hand in kidnapping the child (though thereby saved her life).]

Barrett still doesn't always trust me. My history leaves me suspicious. Tifa trusts me though. Though that might have a bit to do with making sure she had the help she needed in getting a new Seventh Heaven built, and the relation I have with her foster son, Denzel.

[He lapsed into silence again. The more he spoke, the more Biggs believed he knew them, and Barrett wouldn't tolerate Reeve at all if he wasn't earnest in his claims.

Missing names didn't elude him, though, and when he spoke again it was through clenched teeth. He hadn't intended to survive the assault on the pillar, but he'd done what he could to make others did.

Others whose name hadn't been mentioned.]

What about Wedge and Jessie?

[They were names Reeve had only ever heard in passing, so he can of course extrapolate what happened there.]

I have never met them. From my understanding, they passed that night, along with others. But you all helped buy time for many people to escape.

[None of them had intended to survive that night. They'd all done their best to lessen the impact their decisions had on their community. Even knowing that, it was hard to swallow. Wedge may as well have been his little brother, Jessie, their sister.

From the beginning they'd all known things were going to get messy, but they'd never really known exactly how far Shinra was willing to go to stifle opposition.

He took a breath, trying to steady his voice, though Reeve may hear that breath waver before he speaks.]

...that's good. [He swallowed before continuing.] It could have been catastrophic. I'm glad it wasn't.

[It absolutely could have been catastrophic. It still had been.]

Many people died that night. But thanks to your work, well... there were less deaths. And all that your group did... I was inspired to do much the same.

[Including risking his own life to evacuate people in Meteorfall.]

We inspired a Shinra suit to turn on them?

[He's quiet for a moment.]

I guess something good happened, then.

[That was a fair comment, he supposed. A fair shot at him. Reeve sighed.]

My only wish had ever been to help people. But it was all they did. They were fighting for the world rather than against it. And as time passed, their actions gave me insight into things I didn’t know was going on. And Aerith confirmed a lot of what your organization said. There… there were a lot of factors.

That’s really all I can say for myself.

Aerith. [The name was familiar, someone Cloud had run into when they were separated, but it was just a name.] You don't have to explain yourself. You know a lot more than you should to be lying.

You say that, but we both know the Turks could ferret out information like this. Distrust is probably safer until I can do something to truly prove my intent.

I said I trusted you were telling me the truth, not that I'd trust you with my life.

Fair enough. I'm not the best in a fight anyway. Just have my magic.

"Just", huh. That's more than I've got. Mainly, I just mod weapons we can get our hands on.

Magic is draining to do, so in a way, modded weapons can be useful.

[He chuckled at that.]

Yeah, it can. You'd be surprised what get tossed down from the topside.

I doubt I would I get a lot of reports.

Sorry, we'll keep an inventory next time.

Funny. But it isn't necessary.

Yeah, that was the joke.

I... Oh.

[Oh dear, he sounds like he's embarrassed.]

[He doesn't say anything for a moment before responding.]

You know, I get that not everyone who worked for Shinra was a power-hungry asshole. I've known too many people who fell for their lies.

[There's another pause.]

That doesn't mean we're square, it just means I'm listening.

I can't imagine square is a shape we'll get anywhere near in the future. For now I'd be just as happy with triangle. Or wait, are we going for more sides? Then maybe a hexagon?

[Biggs, he's just a nerd that wanted to help people. Surely that comment makes that clear]
