≫ 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.

Personality
Lux is very extroverted - she loves to be the centre of attention in any conversation. She is usually pretty much the clown of the group, telling jokes and making fun of any situation - trying to lighten the mood. Lux absolutely loves talking about herself, what she did in the past or can do. People who know her a bit deeper know that she is a narcissist who loves to manipulate others and sometimes play victim if needed. Lux hates being proven wrong or disrespected - she might even turn violent when stuff like this happens. Obviously, she is still quite young - which she tries to hide from time to time. Despite that, sometimes he can’t help but act a little bit childish.
She is obedient towards her sister, or boss, or faction. However, in the end, she is truly loyal to her family and friends.
On the other hand, she clearly understands that by showing obedience towards people in power, it usually ends up in her gaining more power, rather than losing anything. She is a great actress after all.

Character Motivations
Being praised and admired by other people, having a good time in this corrupted world. Obviously survival, however it wasn't that big of a problem for her previously as she belongs to a bigger group.

Physical Appearance
Lux has pretty long, ginger hair, usually braided in a few spots. She is a petite girl, weighing around 51kg and around 164cm tall. Usually, she likes to wear a military jacket, however when she is out, she prefers to wear one of the button up, stripy shirts. Most of her clothes are a bit destroyed - maybe to follow the fashion that she never was around, or maybe because they just got destroyed because of hard work.

Biography
Lux was born in Lyon, France. Her father was French, when the mother was Russian, so learning some of both languages was quite normal in the house. Lux has a sister named Élise and a brother - both older than her. As the youngest in the family, Lux had a lovely treatment - she always got what she wanted and was daddy’s little girl. Her family was always quite wealthy and spoiled her pretty badly.
The outbreak happened when she was 4. Sweet little girl.She was absolutely terrified. She ended up with her parents, siblings and grandmother. During the cold, dark winters, her parents threw their lot in with the Union of Arkhangelsk, back then a squabbling council that ruled broken remains of the city. With her military training to fall back on, Her mother offered her services to the Union as a guard, thus securing themselves a place in this cold, dark corner of civilization. During the Second Great Ice March, A great migration from the cold arctic circle to greener pastures, Lux could not remember much from that time. The days went quick, the horrors all too close. It was easier to retreat back into themselves.. Later, as they joined the Union finally set sail, she was often assigned basic roles to help with the maintenance of the ship, for all had to do their part. . In a cruel twist of fate, Most of the younger children perished during the initial outbreaks in Arkhangelsk, leaving her as one of the younger ones in the Union as it set out on its march, so obviously in some weird way she was a centre of attention, Though that faded as more and more stragglers were picked up on the march to Novorussiyk Obviously there were people around saying that she shouldn’t be there, she is only slowing us down and that, as a foreigner, She should be onboard. However, as she was the daughter of one of the Guards, And the lack of any action for or against, by the council, people couldn’t have much to say on that topic. Despite that, she took it quite seriously and at some point believed that she was just making the group weaker. It always made her very upset, especially because she was still a child.
When she was 8, both of her parents passed away. She doesn't remember much of it, nor she knew the whole story. It was just a long talk with her siblings and after that a massive part of her family was gone. She was absolutely desperate without her father. She wasn’t daddy’s little girl anymore, she missed him every day. But in a way, growing up in the fleet between the military made her feel like home. She was learning new stuff, learning to survive, as now there was nobody who could have her back. Sure, she had her siblings, but they were quite busy - her sister needed to also take care of their grandmother and had other business to attend to.
When she turned 15, she joined the Yunarmia, a Youth Education and Training program instituted by The Admiral in an attempt to not only ease the problem with lack of technical skills, but also to prepare the children aboard the vessel for the future,Lux was trained in basic survival skills and how to use a weapon, like most aboard the vessel. She spent months learning how to disassemble a glock and clean it, and if she made any mistake, she was severely punished for that. However, the most important skills taught to her were electronics and mechanics - she quickly picked up as there was a lot of work like this around the ship. Soviet Engineering was not the most reliable at the best of times, and the Mikhail was showing its age, requiring frequent refurbishment in order to stay seaworthy. Such measures pushed her fellow citizens to become the menace they are today, but that is a story for another time. She learned how to weld, join and repair, As manpower problems had always meant that aboard the slowly growing fleet of old rusty hulks, everyone had to do their part, but as she became more adept, she became more and more trusted with electrical repair. Down the line, she even took an Apprenticeship under an old Carpenter, learning how to treat and deal with wood in a reliable fashion Lux became one of the many handymen on the ship - mostly she was just holding the flashlight and passing the tools, but it’s still something. In the free time her sister started teaching her some basic English, as the language, despite the end of the world, remained a lingua franca along the coast of the Old World.
Lux enjoyed being on the ship, especially as time went on. Safe, secure from the hells that lay on the shore. Still, for someone so young, the older folk began to take note of the go-getter. They began to like her - she wasn’t like a normal kid. At least that’s how she saw it.
When Lux was 17, she was doing some more missions on the ground - usually helping to prepare the shelters - secure them and build some walls around. She grew up in this world, never remembered anything different - being around this whole situation wasn’t that big of a surprise for her. Despite the fact that her siblings tried to shield her from the outside world, she wanted to see people getting killed, tortured or left to die. Of course, she was scared. However, she never questioned the decision that the crew made. At the end it’s them versus the death. Or, whoever comes to hurt them.
When she turned 19, it was decided that she would join her sister on one of the spy missions, as it would add her some more credibility in the eyes of the other community. Well, Lux isn’t dumb too - she can gain people’s trust and the information. She headed to Monroe.
