≫ 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
He is a creature of comfort. He tries to go the path of least resistance in order to keep everyone happy. He is a courageous man in the fray but will slide back into his happy go lucky attitude when there is calm. He steps up when he deems it necessary but will let more controlling people make decisions in order to keep the peace and avoid too many altercations.

Character Motivations
Wants to see the world how it was before. Believes that there is a way out of this world he is living in but only with time and great effort can it be achieved. It takes the efforts and good will of many to make the world a better place

Physical Appearance
Long brown hair and dark brown eyes. He is clearly someone who spends a lot of time outdoors. His body shape is slightly brawny but he lacks posture, hunching most of the time from time spent hauling lumber.

Biography
Randy grew up in a small town in the south, he spent a lot of time hanging with friends that he kept through middle school because just like him they never left their small town. When he was young he enjoyed building forts in the woods with his friends where they could hang out and be merry. Unlike his brother, Reggie, he stayed where he grew up, living with his parents and brother, Steve, and never really got out of the town. Working as a carpenter, the same profession his father got into and what probably led him to find such a passion for building and creating when he was young. When the apocalypse started, Randy was quick to act in keeping his now deceased parents home safe and hunkering down, hoping that there would be an end to this unforeseen event. One day, early in the morning, a banging came from the front door. Worried of who or what it could have been, he cautiously peeks out to see his brother Reggie, back from the city. Together, they expanded their fortifications of their 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. its been sometime since they left their home, and after years of searching with not luck, the boys are ready to make a new home.
