SPRING 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!

Spring in Temba and Sh'Ka

While the snow has disappeared, the glitter it appears to have turned into remains. Small red, pink, white and purple particles, some in the shapes of stars and little hearts (both realistic and stylized) are covering Temba in a sparkling blanket just as the snow had before. Walking through it will send glittering swirls of it into the air to settle back on the ground again gently.

Despite the sparkling cover, young plants have begun to sprout, young green stems peeking out between pink and red and purple.

Sh'Ka, also, has been freed of its more icy coverage. The glitter here is a lot finer and the layer of it covering the overgrown city not nearly as thick as in Temba. Instead, the glittery mist every move brushes up in the air hangs there much longer and seems reluctant, even, to settle back down.

Despite those differences both cities are currently very, very sparkly...

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 sitting in the hangar. Not all of them may be around when you check out the building, as one of the pilots may be using one of them to fly over to Sh'Ka. But there should still enough of them around for you to inspect and maybe wonder about. However, only one of them will open its doors for you. Do you dare to step inside? Check out the protein paste or maybe even meet one of your crew mates?

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!

Wow, talk about the worst way to meet a person. Gladio heard the words and popped his head out of the dorms space and raised an eyebrow.

"Dude, I didn't even do anything."

"Mm?" Ed jerked and his hand went to his hip. There was a moment of disconnect before he frowned and glanced down to find his knife gone. He looked to the other hip- no gun. He turned to look behind him as though maybe he'd somehow dropped them, gesturing for Gladio to stay put.

"One- uh...one second mate,... I just...huh." He patted down his hip again. "...nope." Finally his attention returned fully to the other man, "Is this yours?"

Yeah, like he's going to do that. Why would a dude built like Gladio, who carried himself like a fighter, ever going to stay back? While Ed searches himself, Gladio steps into the hall and toward him, arms crossed over his chest.

"Not 'mine' in the owning. But I do pilot it."

In theory. He's only done it the two times.

Ed frowned, straightening up and squaring his shoulders, but he couldn't help but let his eyes wander to search out all the curious oddities of the ship.

"Would uh...that make you the Captain then?" he wondered, stroking his fingers over his beard?

"I mean, I'm a sort of captain somewhere."

Captain of the Kings Guard, maybe going to get strong armed into being Captain of the Glaive. None of which was relevant here.

"Somewhere...not being here?" he clarifies, moving to step around him and take in more of the ship, "Meaning this ship is without a Captain?" Not for long, those eyes said, brushing over an interior wall curiously. "What is this?" he asks, rapping his fingers against it and giving an approving hum.

"Well, as the pilot, I'm sorta in charge, and that means I get the good bunk."

And Gladio's not giving that up for some small old guy. Sorry, this is his home and he's not surrendering it.

"Metal. And way too many creepy pictures."

"Right, right," he mutters, hardly hearing Gladio's words at that point.

Metal. Ed rolls his eyes dramatically, like he couldn't tell that much on his own.

"What kind?" he presses.

Dude he can't tell what you can and can't tell.

"Ones of the people here," Gladio said, certain the question is about the pictures. "Like the paps."

"Wait, what?" Ed's utterly lost, and shakes off the confusion to wander further into the ship. "This is fucking mental. What is all this?"

"Apparently the Agrii are fanboys," Gladio said with a shrug. He's seen it happen before. Too many creepy stalker walls with blurry pictures of him and the like.

"Who painted all of these?" They don't look like anything he's seen before. Nothing here does, to be fair. But the level of detail...

Painted them?

"They seem to be pictures, man. Camera work. Not paintings."
