≫ WHAT'S UP WITH GATEWAY ROLEPLAY? ≪
We've been radio silent for a long time now. We posted an announcement in our Discord server back in April of 2025, but never updated the forums. So what's up with Gateway Roleplay?
After 5 long years, we've decided to place the development of Ties That Bind on an indefinite hold.
This doesn't mean it's cancelled. We fully intend to run Ties That Bind: What Lies Beneath and Ties That Bind: City of Angels eventually. But to do so, we need to take a step back. In the meantime, we'll be working on smaller, invite-only projects.
Thank you to everyone who has stuck with us this long! MindGate and I (Pika) have been working on this server for over a decade now. It truly is a passion project for us.
Trystanis a character and a survivor in GWR's lore 'Final Descent'
Dr. Trystan Oedipus Dekker (Or Doctor Dekker) is a Medical Research Professional and former NHS Paramedic and EM Specialist. An Oxford Graduate and member of Mensa, he's a highly educated and ridiculously clever. Some might argue he's something along the lines of a genius.
Trystan was on his way home aboard the flight in Business class when it abruptly fell out of the sky.
Appearance
Standing at 6'1", and weighing in at around 167lbs, Trystan is a relatively tall man with a chiselled, clean-shaven face. Dark, steadily greying brown hair stands up off his forehead. Whether this is natural or not has yet to be discovered. In any case, his body is of a slightly more slender build. His eyes are hazel in colour and sit gently with his sockets. However, he consistently has notable bags and wrinkles around his eyes, permanently denoting the many sleepless nights he's given to his work.
At the time of the crash, he is wearing a blue suit and white shirt, and an excellent silk-pattern tie, along with a Rolex Watch and a trendy set of glasses.
Biography
Born September 17th, 1969, Trystan Oedipus Dekker grew up in an affluent family just south of Oxford, in Kennington. (TBC)
