Spring Test Drive Meme!




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...

Arthur blinked at the other. While his first thought came to mind that it was Barry, observation told him no. More then likely it was some kind of variation from another world. Something he was slowly learning happened not by having arrived here, but back at home as well.

"What a keen observation you have their, kid." Arthur retorted and crossed his arms. He wondered if the other was easy to scare like Barry was.

"Wow, what a less than impressive attempt at sarcasm you have," Tommy counters, rolling his eyes as he crosses his own arms.

Don't worry, Arthur. This speedster has a lot of spine. Or maybe do worry. Either way, he's not going to flinch away from a King of Atlantis. To do so here would just give Namor more power over him back home. Sorta? Not at all. But whatever.

"I'm Tommy. You?"

The comment earned a brief bark of laughter in return. This kid had some spunk. "Arthur." He responded. He might as well get right to the point of things.

"What's the big bad reason why they're collecting various people here and why our hosts are so mysterious?"

“Aliens. Need help fixing their planet. Can’t live on it as it is. We can.”

What more needs said? Tommy offers a shrug and looks Arthur up and down.

“You look like you’re good for heavy lifting at least. Or maybe they just brought you to look at.”

"But you're leaving out the part where we have to stop what caused this mess for them in the first place." Arthur pointed out and raised an eyebrow as the other seemed to access what he was capable of doing.

"Should I just call you Captain Obvious?"

"Only if I can call you Mister Why Ask That?"

Because really, the datapoints definitely explained things just about as well as Tommy could. Better even. Why ask him?

"Dude, if you want good answers, find a genius, not a speedster. I work. Thinking isn't my job."
