≫ 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
Wayne Moran

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
35

Blood Type
AB | Negative

Personality
Wayne is a self-confident and somewhat selfish man. Being a leader is what he was born for. He wants to know everything about everyone, in order to be in control of the situation. He usually appears in the neutral mood. however he can become very angry at once, if something went wrong.

Character Motivations
During the first week of an outbreak, Wayne lost his brother, Matthew. He promised to create a vaccine, to ensure nobody ever dies again from the disease. This drives Wayne to stay alive and start working on the cure. Current goal is to gather a group of people, organize them and actually start working on the cure.

Physical Appearance
Brown, short hair awkwardly hangs over a furrowed face. Expressive gray eyes, watch energetically over the people he meets along the way.
Some sharp tool left a small scar on his left cheek, which also looks pretty recent.
He stands tall among others, despite his skinny frame.
There's something puzzling about him, perhaps it's a feeling of anguish or perhaps it's simply a feeling of indifference. But nonetheless, most people tend to socialize with him, while secretly dispising him.

Biography
Wayne was born in 1993, in Monroe County, New York. His brother, Matthew was 2 years at the moment. They lived on a local farm, with their mother, Teresa and father, Beau. Brothers were visiting the same school, Clinton High. Wayne was more popular then Matthew, due to the fact he was a fast-learner and had better grades in most classes. Biology and chemistry were his personal favorites. Wayne has also received a scholarship due to his senior-year award-winning project. After the High School, Wayne moved to Indiana, to attend university.

While Wayne was enrolled in university, his brother stayed at the farm, with parents, helping them. Brothers were still great friends however, sometimes they would just talk whole day via phone and/or letters, to make it look more fancy. While Wayne was in university, he would spend days in the lab, testing out different approaches to curing diseases and/or separating harmful bacteria from all the other bacteria.

The outbreak started to kick in, while Wayne was in the university. He rushed home, but his family wasn't there anymore. After spending the night in the place, he was waken up by his brother, Matthew. They started thinking about future course of action, but it didn't last long. Matthew was bitten soon after and he died, whispering something to the Wayne.

Hi HIWT.

My name is Envy and I'll be taking a look at your application today.

You're app looks really good however, there are a few things that need to be taken care of.

Illegalities:
  • As stated below, you need to read the lore. We are 14 years into the apocalypse, and Wayne would've been 9 at the start of the apocalypse.

Requirements:
  • You need to read the lore. You can read the lore here.

Recommendations:
  • I would extend a bit on your biography. Aim for three paragraphs if you can.

Notes:
  • You already spawn with a notepad and pencil at spawn.

You can edit your application by clicking the "edit" button below your post, then ping me here when done. If you have any questions, please ask.

Can you elaborate what Wayne has been doing over the past 14 years?
For the past 14 years Wayne went through a lot of good and bad things. Most noticeable events were:
  • Visiting evac facility for civilians, but seeing a half-destroyed building with a ton of tents and dead bodies.
  • Attempting to organize a team of people, two of which died due to bites. Wayne had to ditch the group as they started robbing people they saw on their way and even sometimes killing them.
  • Recently he started gathering supplies to re-build his chemistry laboratory in order to continue tests with the disease culture.
