≫ 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
Loner. I observe and come to conclusion in silence. i judge and weigh every new encounters from afar. my solitude brought my social skill to an alt.

Biography
The name is Matt. no last name but i was always bullied for my weight when younger, my so called friend referred to me as Phat Matt. But there all gone now. Not complaining, i was always the loner type. The world..... well when the world rotted away i isolated myself with everything i owned and i tried to survive for as long as i could, being a prepper, that lasted for a bit, raiding neighbors brought some difference to ration pacts, but my resourced slowly dwindled away and now i am wandering out to see if i can cut it.

Hi Matt,

I'm Envy and I'm going to take a look at your application today.

From the looks of it, you need to improve upon a lot; so lets get started;

Illegalities:
  • While you may be whitelisted by a first name or alias, you need to specify your character's last name somewhere in your biography.
  • Judging from your overall application, I don't think you've read the lore. You can do so here.
  • Brave is a trait, not a skill. You can take Brave yourself at character creation. This is a section to request in game skills (Shooting, Reloading, Trapping, Cooking Ect).

Requirements:
  • You have a good start with your personality but it needs to be fleshed out more.
  • Character Motivations needs to be at least a sentence or two.
  • You should flesh out your appearance more, thinking of things like your characters skin tone, height, weight and any distinguishing features.
  • Biography should be a bit longer, A Paragraph or two, and should give an indication you have some idea what you're character has done for the past 14 years of the apocalypse. As stated in Illegalities, you should reflect that you understand the world this lore takes place in.

Recommendations:
  • Think it over, and rewrite your entire application. You can click the "Edit" button, and when you're finished, let me know by replying to this post.

Hi Matt,

You're applications has been Denied for the following reasons:
  • Your character needs a last name unless there is a *VERY* specific reason why they don't.
  • It does not look like you've read the lore.

Thank for your interest in the server and you are welcome to reapply at anytime.
