≫ 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.

Character Name
Reggie Albaamu

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
34

Blood Type
AB Negative

Personality
Reggie is a stoic man, who tries to avoid violence when necessary, but if his friends or family are threatened, he sees red. He tries to stay in control of situations, or at the very least, to remain calm when his younger brother, Randy, is around. His main goal is to keep his brother safe.

Character Motivations
Reggie and Randy are looking for their older brother, Steve Albaamu.

Physical Appearance
Reggie is haggard and gaunt. His bespectacled eyes are constantly darting around looking for escapes, threats, and his brother. He is somewhat tall, with fair hair and and no facial hair. He is not especially muscular, the way he carries himself implies he knows how to find an advantage in a fight.

Biography
Reggie grew up in a small town in the south, where he spent most of his time avoiding everyone else in the town. He spent his teenage years smoking dope in a barn with a record-player playing rockabilly albums that he didnt really like, but couldn't get his hands on anything better. Until he moved to the city and got a job at Plan 9, a local joint servicing the exact cliental he was interested in meeting and mingling with. Everything was looking up for Reggie, until the apocalypse started. After barely escaping the city, he made his way back to his hometown where he met up with his younger brother, Randy. They fortified their childhood home, and stayed there for several years, using the supplies their paranoid brother Steve had stocked up on. 5 years in, supplies were running low, and bandits had set up camp in the area; it was time to move. Using the old notes, messages, and maps Steve had left in his room, they plotted their path and planned the departure. While on the road, Reggie made himself useful by continuing to refine his metal working skills that he had begun to develop while helping Randy fortify their home. He is pretty confident in his abilities now, and hopes to find some use for it wherever he ends up. its been sometime since they left their home, and after years of searching with no luck, the boys are ready to make a new home.

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

Your app looks great so far! There's just one little thing:

  • It isn't completely clear that you've read the lore. Your biography contains nothing directly relating to it. The most important thing to note is that we are currently 14 years into the apocalypse. It began in February 2015, and it is now June 2029 in-game.
    • Additionally, could you elaborate a bit more on what Reggie has done for the past 14 years? It's a long time—there's a lot that can be done in that amount of time! You don't need to add much more. A few sentences will suffice.
    • You can read the lore here.

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