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

Unlike last year, spring doesn't leave the He-Rows dealing with piles of pink glitter. The vast amounts of snow are still present to some degree here and there where the snow has been piled up especially high after the recent blizzard. But life has been returning to both cities with grass and flowers growing more vigorously in Temba while in Sh'Ka the especially tall trees are sprouting their leaves.

The native animals of both cities become more active again as well and especially the birbs residing around Temba's beach produce a noise that can be picked up even in certain parts of the city. Would it be wise to disturb them?

And while the weather has clearly turned warmer and the sun shows notably more presence, spring remains comparably wet. Strong showers of sudden rain are very likely to surprise an exploring He Row when they least expect them.

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 and power has been restored to be reliable. 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 proven to be home to verious harmful creatures; 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!

[For a moment there, Sonic had thought that maybe he'd caught sight of a fuzzy little person like himself out of the corner of his eye while he was out exploring some totally safe abandoned buildings, but upon closer inspection, it seems like he's missed whoever he'd seen. Bummer, maybe it was just some of the weird local wildlife that he hadn't come across yet. At least that's what he's thinking when he hears the faint shifting of debris behind him, followed by the roar of what he assumes is some kind of hungry alien animal thing. I mean technically he's not too far off the mark. If you think about it, everyone here is alien to this world! Right? Sure, whatever.

Thankfully for Sonic, he's more than quick enough to avoid getting murked. As soon as his ears perk up to the sounds behind him, he's zipped out of the way and hopped up onto a near by chunk of rubble. Well, that sure is some kinda lion that just tried to chomp him. Sonic's not even sure if he can understand him, but he's going to run his mouth anyway. It's kind of his thing.]

Y'know, I bet I'm delicious, but you would not have a fun time choking me down. Pretty sure I'd shred your esophagus. Not even on purpose, these quills are just nature's middle finger to hungry predators.

[ He'd heard something coming this way. He didn't hear the chatter of a herd or group, or feel the thunder of their feet beating the ground. Whatever it was, was all alone. He'd hunkered down in wait. At seeing how small the lone creature was, a corner of his lips peeled up in dismay--barely a mouthful--but it was better than nothing.

Even if it was violently blue.

He dug his claws in, crept an inch more forward, and was sure his claws would sink into soft flesh, but instead, Mufasa only landed with a heavy thud on the ground where his target was. Empty-pawed. His head snapped, he pivoted on a hind paw, and leapt once more, only to be met with a cloud of dust in his face.

After that second attempt and seeing his prey was, once again, merely feet from him--and this time talking and taunting him--lent to the idea that he wasn't going to get anywhere with this.

On the bright side, this creature wasn't sounding any alarm call, and nothing was coming thundering at him to run him down like a degenerate, so. He'd stop and look at the hedgehog with brows raised, looking like he was about to go into some kind of information overload for how much he was just chattering away at the thing that tried to kill him. He looked from the creature's face as he spoke, up to the mentioned quills with a cant of his head. Then back to his face.

Middle--what?

He closed his eyes lightly with his brows still raised and shook his head slightly, as if to clear his own thoughts from the chatter. ]

Quills? [ Mufasa wasn't about to sit down, but his weight shifted to stand more upright, instead of in any position to pounce. ]

I know I'm no longer in the Pride Lands, but you don't look like any porcupine I've ever seen. [ And he's seen porcupines. And he's learned: do not fuck with them. ]

Ah, you can talk! That'll make this easier.

[Mister Lion over here doesn't seem like a bad dude, maybe just a little confused. Sonic's silent for a moment as he sized the lion up. He could probably do considerable damage if he managed to get his teeth or claws into Sonic, but that would require being able to catch him first. Clearly Sonic has nothing to worry about, so he takes a seat on top of his pile of rubble as if this big furball hadn't just tried to make a snack out of him. No harm done, no reason to get upset over big cats trying to eat him.]

I'm a hedgehog, actually. Technically not related to porcupines at all, but still just as pointy.
