≫ 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
He goes by Robbie, but some people call him "Three Finger Rob". His parents were killed in a car accident right before the zombies came and he went to live with his uncle in Alabama. He was quarterback for his high school football team, and had a scholarship to play at Alabama. But then the zombies came and murdered his uncle and his girlfriend Chelsea. He fell in with some bandits after that and learned how to use two pistols at the same time.

After a while his bandit crew was killed by the law in West Virginia, and he went solo. He earned money doing jobs like being a guard for small towns, killing some local bandit boss or whatever paid his bills. Then he ended up near Monroe, looking for a new job.

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

Your application looks good so far! There are just a few things I need to touch upon:

  • Could you elaborate some more on what Robbie has done for the past 14 years? He was still just a teen when the world ended, so that must have been a struggle for him. While the basic details are there, I feel like adding in some more would be beneficial for you. For nearly 15 entire years into the apocalypse, his background is fairly vague.
  • The items you've requested are fine, but we have a policy on guns handed out as starting items: they'll all be in shoddy condition and have minimal ammo. Therefore, I can't give you two entire boxes.
  • I'm alright with boosting a player's skills to Level 10 to start off with, so long as there's a strong argument for them in their background; however, six Level 10 skills is far too many. At most, I'm comfortable with boosting two skills to Level 10. Higher levels are fine for the others, but not Level 10. You went into Robbie's aptitude with using two pistols at a time, so Level 10 Aiming and Reloading may fit him best. Let me know which levels you'd like the other skills at.
Once you've made those additions, just reply to bump the thread and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

Oh ok made the changes:

He goes by Robbie, but some people call him "Three Finger Rob". His parents were killed in a car accident right before the zombies came and he went to live with his uncle in Alabama. He was quarterback for his high school football team, and had a scholarship to play at Alabama. But then the zombies came and murdered his uncle and his girlfriend Chelsea. He fell in with some bandits after that and learned how to use two pistols at the same time. The bandit leader was named McGraw and he took him under his wing. Until Robbie was 27, when he had learned everything he could from McGraw. They became partners and did jobs all over the South for 10 years until a group of ex-soldiers ganged up together to hunt them down for the bounty.

After running north for months the gang was cornered in by the posse in West Virginia. A huge gunfight broke out and many men were killed on both sides. Robbie was lucky and had been out on a mission to find food but his gang was dead and McGraw captured and hung on the spot. He couldn't go south so he went north and went solo. He earned money doing jobs like being a guard for small towns, killing some local bandit boss or whatever paid his bills. Then he ended up near Monroe, looking for a new job.

For my skills I'll get Aiming and Reloading 10, 8 for Str and Fitness, and 6 for blade and sprinting, is that cool?
