≫ 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.

Yes

Yes

Age

Personality
Jack is generally a caring individual looking out for those around him. Before the outbreak he didn’t socialize much as all he wanted to do was fly. Either on the job or on his off time of paramotors. Tends to step up when there’s a lack of leadership but backs down when someone he trusts is smarter than he is takes charge.

Since the start of the outbreak he’s been trying to think of a way to get across the US inorder to find his brother. A car and supplies, another helicopter, or even a plane. At the very least he hopes to get into contact. Till then he’s going to keep working with those around him to survive.

Physical Appearance
He’s a fairly young and skinny individual standing in around 6’1 with a weight of 175lbs. Jack generally keeps his hair short and his face shaved while normally in some kind of uniform or utility clothing. While scavenging he typically has his pilot helmet along with the vest and pistol on the leg holster.

Biography
Jack was born into a small family in Mesa, Arizona on March 28th, 1991. About 6 years later his younger brother was born. The family lived a quiet normal life with their dad being in the military for most of his youth. Due to his dad being deployed most of the time he grew close with his uncle, spending a lot of time with him. By the age of 12 Jack’s father was medically discharged from the military leaving him disfigured missing his leg along with severe back pain. This marked a huge change in their family as their father became bitter and angry with life taking it out on his family. Jack’s parents' marriage deteriorated rapidly over the next several years. School wasn’t much of a strong suit for him but he graduated with passing grades with a rough 3.0 GPA. With no real life plan Jack signed up for the Army to do infantry. Anything he could to get away.

Having left behind his family in an attempt to escape and find himself Jack was assigned to the 3rd infantry division as an 11 Bravo. In 2005 he served his first tour in Iraq gaining skills as a marksman and overall team player with his squad. His brother and uncle wrote to him several times but at this moment in time he was still running from family. He’d read the letters but he hasn’t written back to either of them in 2 years.

The end of his contract came up in 2007 and he decided to transfer out of his current MOS of 11 Bravo to 153 Alpha learning to become a rotary pilot in the army still with the 3rd Infantry Division. His new MOS was extremely satisfying as he got to fly several missions a day getting supplies and soldiers to where they needed to go. When his contract came up again in 2011 Jack signed back up despite missing his family. He heard that his uncle had gotten custody of his brother a few years back and that they were doing well for themselves.
2015 came along with his contract papers coming up once again. This time he decided to request a transfer to a national guard unit to be home stateside. His request was approved as he was moved to the 36th Infantry Division apart of one of their Aviation Brigades. He mostly did training and support missions but at least he was state side allowing him to pick up on a hobby or two. One was the restoration of an old 1983 Jeep CJ-7 the other was reloading his own ammo. Finding brass along old trails and secluded shooting areas in the desert making it saving money on having to buy ammo or brass.

As things started to collapse in May of 2019 Jack did his best not to panic. The situation on the base steadily grew worse and worse before he defected with a few other people from JBSA leaving to take care of themselves.
