≫ 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.
Appearance & Personality (This will be updated as time goes on, and more about the character becomes public knowledge.) He is an approachable olive-skinned man who stands at five-foot-five inches. His appearance often shifts -- some days being more haggard, and other days being cleaner. He is built with lean muscle and an average frame. Javier has seen better days, and it shows in his face -- while he puts on a smile, the tiredness and long hours spent awake show in his eyes and the manner he carries himself. His black hair is usually kept at medium-length and his beard trimmed to match. Javier's choice in clothing reflects in his mood for the day; more often being practical and sometimes reflecting something similar to someone living before the outbreak hit.
Javier Nassim Abdessalam is a man of complexities, contradictions, and plenty of problems. He usually shows himself as a kind-hearted, compassionate individual willing to sever his own arm to save another. While he can be, and often is professional, he will sometimes offer jokes at inappropriate moments.
