≫ 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.

Biography
Macan Bacon was a simple young man who worked a nine to five job at a Kentucky call center. The company he worked for was called Gardners and Gun Lovers. The company covered news related to new farming at home, weapon maintenance, and shooting tips and tricks. He worked there proudly at the age of 18 until news of a virus began to spread. Once the news hit the mainstream media he and his family were forced to leave their city apartment and move on because the virus was wreaking havoc in the city they called home. On their way to Macan Bacon's grandparents, their vehicle was running low on gas so when they went to refuel his sister was attacked in the gas station. His father went to go and save his sister but they were horribly mauled and later consumed by the zombies at the gas station. Macan Bacon would never forget the sound of flesh being torn from their bodies and the bones breaking as he and his mother held each other in the car scarred for their lives. After that horrific ordeal, Macan and his mother made it to his grandparent's house. As they knocked on their door, the door slowly creaked open. With both of them worried and aware they carefully entered the house to find it covered in blood and marking on the wall. Macan's mother called out for her parents but got no response back. Knowing the house was now empty they proceeded to take anything of value before calling it a night before it got too dark. Having scavenged everything they could, they brought in some sleeping bags and blankets to sleep in the basement for the night. After falling asleep they awoke to the sounds of footsteps upstairs. Now more worried than ever they quietly packed up their things and went up the basement stairs. As they were about to open the door a man kicked in the door they were behind knocking both of them down the stairs. All banged up Macan's mom tackled the armed intruder with her knife to buy her son time. The intruder fired off three shots into his mom while she stabbed him as much as she could allowing Macan to getaway. Macan hoped in and started the car when he saw the man running after him. He slammed on the peddle being forced to leave his lifeless mother in the basement. The noise also attracted a horde of zombie in his direction. On his way out he saw the man in the rearview mirror fighting off multiple zombies until he was taken to the ground and ripped apart. Macan's adrenaline was running high and zombies were making their way towards him. On his way out of the neighborhood, he encountered a hoard of zombie blocking his path so at that moment he decided to slam on the accelerator peddle without hesitation killing all of the zombies in his path. After losing all of his family in horrific accidents, he decided to live on by himself for the years to come. During that time he honed his skills of growing and of shooting through practicing growing and shooting a bb gun he managed to loot. He acquired a knowledge of these skills far greater than anyone he met through his travels and would be a valuable person to have on their side.

Hey, NiL8NU! My name is Pika and I'll be reviewing your application today.

Before we can go any further with the application process, I need to address the most glaring issue: Although you answered the multiple-choice questions correctly, it still isn't clear that you've read the lore. Your biography doesn't match up at all. It's incredibly important that you've read the lore. If you haven't, you'll be lost upon joining the server.

The most important point to note is that we are currently 14 years into the apocalypse. Your character could have either been 29 at the start and is now 42/43, or he could have been 15/16 at the start. Regardless of what you choose, you need to add more to your biography since you've cut off at the beginning. A lot can happen in 14 years. You can read the lore here.

Additionally, all characters need a real first and last name. Tokyo Sexwhale is not a real first and last name.

Once you've made those additions, just reply to bump the thread and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

Your biography is still fairly short. It's just below the one paragraph minimum. Could you try elaborating more on your character's life as a whole? You don't need to add much, just enough to get a decent idea of who he is.

Also, this is still the same name but with one letter removed. Please change it from something other than any variation of Tokyo Sexwhale.

Reply to bump the thread again and I'll take another look. Thanks!

I am taking this app over. It will not be approved until you get a decently normal name, not a pun or something ridiculous.
