≫ 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
Jonathan Richter

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
19

Blood Type
O Positive

Personality
Basically, before the outbreak, Jonathan was an extremely kind person, and loved animals especially. He wanted to become an artist due to his artistic mind, and was extremely pacifistic, seeing the world as peace and kindness being a virtue. However, when the outbreak hit, he became extremely angry and violent towards the undead, however, he retained his pacifistic kindness towards the living. When in combat, he is a skilled, brutal fighter, using what his father taught him years before... In reality, he just wants to cleanse the zombie threat in any means possible, and will not stop until no zombies remain.

Character Motivations
Honestly, Jonathan just wants the world to become the way to be the way it was before the outbreak, to make peace, bring happiness, and show kindness to others. He strives to become a renowned artist as well as a scientist who can not only share his art with others, but also benefit the living population to make his family proud of him, rest their souls.

Physical Appearance
Jonathan, for starters, is a Caucasian Male, being rather slender in form and somewhat fit. He has no visible muscle mass, but has relatively decent strength. He has no visible scars or malformations on his body, and he takes good care of himself despite the state of the world. He has short brown hair in a sort of 'emo cut' covering one eye, wears a pair of blue glasses, and almost always wears a black jacket over top of a white labcoat and white trousers. He also has glimmering greenish hazel eyes, which change colour between brown, to green, even to purple depending on mood. Finally, he wears a pair of black boots, and has a spiked collar around his neck.

Inventor/Artist

Biography
Before the outbreak, he lived a relatively high-class life, and was fascinated with both art and engineering, occasionally spending time working on combining his two interests. His father and mother both supported him, and while his mother didn't work, his father worked as a industrial chemist for an ore processing plant. However, when the outbreak happened, his parents pretty much died days after, leaving poor Jonathan, then a teen, alone and without anyone. He then spent a few years getting his head around the apocalypse and simply surviving, but found a friend a year ago who swore to help him restore the world to it's former glamour. Unfortunately, said friend recently died in terms of his life, and he nearly snapped out of rage, going into isolation and hoping someday, he would figure out a cure for the infection.

Would you like your character to start with any items?
I'd like it if my character could start off with perhaps a good bag and a wrench or something similar.

Would you like your character to start with any skills?
I think my character could use a skill level of 4 in mechanics, 3 in electricity, and perhaps level 3 in metalworking.

Is your character a member of a group?
No

Hey, Supernova! 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 August 2029 in-game. Either Jonathan is 32/33, or he was 5 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.
    • 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!

Hmm... I think it would be best that he is around 32, to be completely honest. As for what he's done for the past 14 years, it's pretty simple. He's not only worked towards attempting on a cure for the virus, but has spent a lot of time making art out of random scrap and leaving said art in various places, to give survivors something to enjoy. He's also worked on expanding his knowledge of engineering, mechanics, and general art, and in the 14 years, he's pretty much become an expert with the creative arts and general mechanics!
