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...

[It's kind of Tony! Why does he look so weird?]

A few.

[...That definitely looks like Stark. But not. Pietro frowns reflexively, eyes narrowing.]

What happened to you, Stark?

I happen to think I'm in my prime, thank you. Hold on, this lighting isn't doing me any favours. [He does move the camera, but he's cocking his head like he's hoping this would help him see Pietro better.] What's going on with your hair, hotshot? What did they do to you on the moon?

[It's not the lighting that's the problem, though Pietro's head tilts in turn like he's trying to work out what's wrong.]

You look younger.

[His features twist with confusion at Stark's comment, clearly having no idea what he's referring to.]

Thanks for noticing. New dermatologist. [Dr. Extremis did a very deep treatment, but Pietro wasn't known for his compliments. Disappointing. It had been a long time since Tony had seen the Pietro he knew, of course that wouldn't be the one to pop up here.] I'll lay this out first, so we can get this out of the way. I think you're Pietro Maximoff, AKA Quicksilver, and we met after you realized your dad had a questionable moral compass and the Avengers happened to need some fresh blood. You've made it very clear to me that you thought the mansion was tacky, which, I mean, from you is a compliment, and went and married a princess on the moon. We haven't seen much of each other since then, but your sister is family, so... [Any of this ringing a bell?]

Quicksilver?

[It's not a name he's lived long enough to hear applied to himself, though it does make sense. More sense than the rest of Stark's explanation, Pietro's brow creasing, obviously not familiar with ANY of that history.]

...Are you drunk?

Great, none of that then? Do you somehow have an even more lame name where you're from?

[He narrows his eyes sharply.]

It's Pietro, Stark. I don't know what you are talking about, but you and I are not friends.

Right, because we're lovers.

[Well good job, you've shocked him into utter stillness.]

...Excuse me?

I thought that would be funnier, somehow. Don't have a heart attack, that's my thing.

You better start making sense before I lose my patience, Stark.

Oh, boy, you're right, the guy I know lost his patience in the first grade and it never recharged.

Tony Stark, total stranger.

Explain. I know Stark. Why don't I know you?

Because I'm the smarter, much more handsome Tony Stark from Earth Prime, where everyone is also a little cooler. Don't worry, I won't hold it against you, you can't help where you're from.

And how many families have you destroyed in your world? If you are that much smarter, I imagine it must be an even more impressive number.

Uh.... [There wasn't nearly enough context for that question.] Listen, I realize you have no reason to believe me, but as far as I know, Johnny Storm is the homewrecker you're looking for. I don't think I'm your wife's type.

I have no wife, Stark. Our parents. You're the reason they are dead.

I can assure you, where I'm from, your dad is still very much alive and up to his usual tricks.

Tricks?

[There's a dangerous look in his eye.]
