≫ 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.
HANA TAKEUCHI (This character is an A-NPC for Max Rutherford's group)
Hana Takeuchi (竹内ハナ) is a Junior Coalition Ranger and combat medic who was assigned to Unit 2-15 after reinforcements were requested for their impending assault on Burlington Country Club, the now-former base of operations for the Miller Family. As the widespread conspiracy revolving around The Man in Red grew, she and the rest of her unit accompanied Max Rutherford to Canada and in search of answers.
Though originally from Nashville, Tennessee, Hana has lived in the Memorial District of Pittsford with her older sister, Stella, and sister-in-law, Danielle, for the past thirteen-or-so years. Having been so young at the start of the outbreak, Hana was practically raised by her sisters. They're all she has left, and she cares for them dearly. Around the time she was 20, Hana expressed interest in becoming a Ranger—specifically, a combat medic—much to her older sister's dismay. She enlisted and was assigned to Outpost 2-15 in Monroe County, New York after completing her required 6 months of training.
Hana is a meek individual. She very seldom speaks, and her petite stature leads to her often being overlooked—for better or for worse. After the death of her close friend and fellow squadmates, Benedict Harris, Hana retreated into her shell. To be entirely honest, Hana has gone so long without interacting with her squadmates outside of missions and planning sessions that even if she did want to speak to them, she wouldn't know where to begin. Though, despite her awkwardness in social situations, she's incredibly passionate about medicine and does whatever she can to ensure her squadmates are well enough to remain out in the field. She's also surprisingly skilled with a rifle. Who would have thought?
