≫ 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.

Biography
Mark White grew up in Washington, DC. In his youth he was a very shy boy, he often was dubbed as "the quiet kid in school". Mark was often depressed because of family problems at home. He was often bullied because of this. One day he had enough so he got his older sis, Rose, who was in collage to tell the bullies off, it worked. Ever since this incident he was happy and he moved to his sisters house in Alabama. After high school he wanted to be a police officer but got rejected from collage for his low grades; (he could not afford it anyway.) He later got a apartment in Washington, DC and became Night Watch at a local museum. He met a nice girl online. He got to know her and later got married and had a female child named, Jingle. Jingle was an odd name but he liked it anyway so he went with it. On her way to work his wife died in a car accident a year before Oculurubrus. His abusive parents never seen him again after he left. Fast forward to the week before Oculurubrus, Mark sent his daughter off to camp. He was working the whole week up to the dreadful night of Oculurubrus. He had no clue it was going on. On the 14th of December, Mark was headed to his friends place in Monroe, New York. He got there and found him dead on the floor. He called the cops but no response. He searched the house, and what he found nearly killed him. His friends wife was a walking decayed corspe. She tried to scratch him but missed. Mark was quick to grab a kitchen knife and kill it. For 14 years he barley survived off a near by store. In June 2029 he got robbed by bandits and had to move, all he had left was his daughter's Spiffo.

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

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

  • You've read the lore, but there are a few discrepancies. 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 July 2029 in-game. At the time the lore began (Back in August 2020), it was December 2028 in-game. Either Levi is 26/27, or he was 9 at the start. Whichever you'd prefer!
    • Additionally, could you elaborate a bit more on what he's 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.
Once you've made those additions, just reply to bump the thread and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!
