≫ 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.

Character Name
Max Stone

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
56

Blood Type
O+

Personality
Max Stone is a former Police Chief. He believes in the the notion of law and order, often times working for free to solve disputes. He strives to see a semblance of that in what remains of post-apocalyptic America. Often he can be found offering to assist people he comes across. And beneath his often stoic personality is a tender heart who cares for his fellow man.

Character Motivations
He does it out of necessity, Stone's moral core has kept him both alive and sane in the ever changing world he now lives in. As a former Officer of the Law, he feels as if its still his responsibility to keep his community safe, even if that community is whatevers left of civilization. He wants to see law and order spread across the ruins of America, to be a base for a new society.

Physical Appearance
Max Stone is a 56 year old Caucasian male. Standing at 5'11", he has a well toned if worn body for his age. With a straight posture and ample muscle mass, he isn't as young as he used to be considering he's in his late fifties. But he's kept himself busy and in shape, even if his age is slowly creeping up on him. With a mop of shaggy hair, and a well kept, if often messy beard covering his face. With Hazel eyes, and almost completely gray hair.

Biography
Max Stone was born on December 17th, 1973. Growing up in the Town of Rosewood, Kentucky. He spent his early youth excelling in his classes, and striving to be a lawyer. In his teenage years he lost his father to a break in, losing his father put he and his mother in a tight spot financially, forcing young Stone to learn early on the harsh realities of life. Despite his setbacks, he graduated with a law degree in 1993 at the University of Louisville. In the Spring of 1995 he started his tenure as a Police Officer, working his way through the ranks before replacing the active Police Chief in 2005. Being the Police Chief of a small town, Stone often didn't see too much action. Spending his days filing paperwork and keeping the community of Rosewood safe, be it from teenage thugs, to escaped convicts from the nearby Rosewood Penitentiary. Yet things changed in 2014, once the Red Eye Virus began to rapidly spread across the globe. His precinct was quickly overwhelmed by the infected, forcing his remaining officers and he himself to flee from the city. Fifteen years later, Stone is alone, the last of his precinct, entering the ruins of Monroe, New York.

Heya, MrMischief2015. I've reviewed your application and it's accepted!

Here's your login info:

Just something I was curious about: You mention that Max's current occupation is a "Monroe Ranger." A Ranger is a position within the C.P.F. They're sort of like scouts, except more advanced. Monroe, the town, does not have any Rangers. The title almost entirely carries a bad connotation there since it's the equivalent of the C.P.F. So, to clarify, is your character a C.P.F. Ranger, or is he simply a wanderer in Monroe County? I'm assuming the latter, but you can never be too sure!

If you have any questions, feel free to reply and ask. Thanks!

He's a wanderer. However im tossing around the idea of him starting something similar to a police force outside of the C.P.F. Think of something similar to a post-apocalyptic police force, or the Desert Rangers from the Wasteland series. But as I said, still tossing the idea around.

Sounds good to me! Just wanted to double-check and make sure you didn't accidentally mark that you weren't in a faction or anything.
