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:

- Explore the city! There's a map here 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. The hotel seems to be the most crowded, but you might want into what appears to be an abandoned storefront and find someone else scavenging or even sleeping.

- There are spaceships! That's right, there are currently several small spaceships grounded in the hangar. They appear to have power, but only one ship will let you enter. (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 it might be worth poking around the one that will...

- Do you hear a storm? A giant, power-altering storm has been ravaging part of the planet for a month. It shows 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? More information can be found here.

- Can you hear me now? 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.

- 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...

[Sometimes it's nice to get a nap where no one can see you. Where no one is going to complain. Where you know you're safe from most situations. Which was why Tommy had been in his bunk on the ship, taking a cat nap. But the voice calling out definitely wakes him. Deep sleep to on his feet and moving in less than a picosecond.

The word barely has time to reverberate through the ship before Tommy's standing there, in the door on the other side of the cargo bay, frowning when he sees Bucky.]

Yo. Definitely don't remember you being on this cohort. You new? Or did the Agrii mix us up again.

[OOC: For purposes of TDM, going to treat it like there isn't another Bucky around so that Tommy won't recognize Bucky from him and be awkward. <3]

[ He doesn't expect someone to simply appear, almost as quickly as breathing, and the soldier's eyes narrow. He knows better than to project surprise, though, aside from a cant of his head. He does refrain from replying and glances around at the cargo area before glancing back at Tommy. ]

New. [ Because that's the only relevant information, right? ]

(ooc: thank you, that's very kind!)

Cool. New people are always a thing.

[He moves forward, at normal human pace, to offer his hand.]

Tommy Shepherd. Gonna warm you now, I may look human but I’m not. People tend to flinch when I use my mutant powers so, yeah. Fair warning. I run in excess of Mach 4. Don’t be surprised if I seem to appear out of nowhere. Who are you?

[Friendliness is not something he’s genuinely great at, but he is trying.]

[ooc: if you choose to app I would hope to dm you to discuss canon-awareness and all that]

[ He stands his ground, but just barely. There are two warring principles still in his head - either drawing back, out of touching range - or allowing his fight-or-flight instinct to overwhelm everything else. It doesn't help that Tommy is telling him he can move faster than the eye can follow, although the soldier isn't quite sure he believes that. Then again, there is a lot of stuff he isn't sure he believes right now. Including his own identity.

Soldat comes to mind the most readily, but that word comes with a lot of head-splitting baggage. So does 'Bucky'. And Barnes, along with the other ones from the museum. ]

Soldier, [ he finally states, gingerly extending his right hand - after a long look at Tommy's - to complete the shake. ]

[Soldier gets Tommy to raise a curious eyebrow. But he shakes the hand, not even hesitating.]

Oh, we're going with work names? Then you can call me Speed. Welcome to the crew, Soldier. You got any skills? Wanna tour? It's free.

Work names? [ he seems a little confused about that, and it's definitely not an affected expression. that is genuine puzzlement. ] I - thanks? Speed. [ what kind of a name is Speed? ]

A tour is fine. [ although it's not offered very decisively. ]

[A hero name, duh. What kind of name is Soldier?]

Come on then, Soldier-boy. So, this is the hanger. That's the treadmill. Ther'es only the one.
