≫ 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.

Blood Type

Personality
He can be intense, his attitude can change from one moment to another. Trusting in people is a very hard thing to do for him, he is a lonely person who survives on his own. He is smart, decided, someone who knows what he wants. Not afraid to get his hands dirty to become who he wants to be in this world. He is, in the other side, violent, prone to solve problems with violence. He is shy and prone to screw things up when fear or danger overcomes him.

Character Motivations
Only one goal is in his mind, to thrive. As any survivor, he wants to find a place to settle in, a new home. He has always been a loner, so he has no rush to form a group of people to work together. As he trust only in himself, the apocalypse made him loose that socialization to make friends or just to know new people.

Heya, frederico654! I'm Pika, and I'll be reviewing your application today!

Your application is looking great so far! There's just one little issue:

  • Your biography's timeline doesn't seem to match up with the lore's. Hank is 30, turning 31. The outbreak began in February 2015, meaning he would have been 16 at the time. Unless he was an unbelievably smart child, he would not have been starting college for another two years. You can either tweak the biography accordingly or make Hank older.
    • Additionally, regardless of what you do, please elaborate on what Hank has been doing over the past 14 years. That's a long time—one person can do a lot of things over nearly a decade and a half. You don't need to add much more, a few sentences will suffice.
Once you've made those additions, reply to bump the thread and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

Biography
Hank Beagle is a 30 years old man. He was born in November 2nd, 1998, in Miami, Florida. As a child he always was helping his father in his carpentry projects, so he has always ejoyed working in wood. He was a shy child who had very few friends and usually got bullied at school. He always has been into sports and used to play in the school´s soccer team.
When Red Eye virus started he was only 16 years old, just a teenager. He and his father had to take care of his sick mother, she had cancer. For the first 6 months the family stayed locked up at home, they had food and supplies to stay and not to risk their lives against the virus and the scared population. Food began to lack and the corpses began to revive, so it was time to go out, between the danger of not returning home alive. Fortunately, they had a market and some small food bussiness in the neighbourhood, but that wouldn´t last long. After 4 years, his mother lost the battle against cancer and his father lost his sanity due to the loss of his beloved wife, making him commit suicide.
When he turned 20, he was alone, both father and mother dead, he had to survive on his own. He began to get used to living among those things, managed to live a few more years at home thanks to an orchard he had at home and hunting birds and rats.
One night in 2025, a horde of zombies crowded into his house. He was in serious danger, he had to do something. The zombies entered the house and tried to eat him, but fortunately he left safe and sound with some food, bottled water, his father´s hammer and a radio. It was time to leave Miami, there was nothing there but zombies everywhere.
For the next 4 years he wandered from house to house, town to town, trying to settle in. But the zombies would never leave him alone. He always turned on his radio to find survivors.One day, he got a weak signal from Monroe County, so decided to go there, no matter the cost, to get a new opportunity to start over.

No problem!! We use Build 40, since Build 41 currently has no multiplayer. The mods will download automatically upon joining the server the first time, just make sure to unsubscribe from all of your mods beforehand, otherwise, you'll get an error. I'm not really sure why.
