≫ 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
An only child, Killian grew up on the family farm, just outside of Philadelphia. He was always a shy person, except for his bestfriend, Miles. Growing up, he always wanted to become a nurse. So, when he got the chance, he started studying to become one. Shortly after the begining of his college, the Red Eye pandemic occured. Since his parents were away on vacation and was living alone, he didn't really care for the news, never watching them before, since his parents always told him everything that was going on. So, it came as a shocker when his friend Miles called him and said that he needed to speak to him. He invited him over, since his farm was the one next door. When his bestfriend told him about the dead rising again, he couldnt believe him. He couldn't also believe the fact that Miles had killed his whole family to survive. Following his iniative, Killian packed his stuff and they went in the wild. After nearly 15 years of this hell world, Killian and his one and only friend from childhood, they have seen it all. They never stayed with the same people for too long, either they ended up dying or the group split up because of a fight. In 2024, Miles met a woman named Elisabeth, and they ended dating. They were really close, and when she died 2 years later, Miles was devastated. If it were not for Killian, Miles would have ended his life there and then. Killian showed him that there was still a life worth to live, since you cannot just give up something that others payed so much for. You need to continue on living for the sake of the fallen, so that their sacrifice was not in vain.

Hi Maxrat, my name is Envy and I'll be handling your application today.

Requirements:
  • 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, nearly 15 years into the apocalypse, and that the lore takes place in Upstate New York, not Kentucky. It is currently January 2030 IC.You can read the lore here.
  • You backstory needs to be a least a paragraph, and should detail Killian's life before/since the apocalypse. If you want to keep your character's age, Killian would've been three.
  • Please elaborate on your character motivations.
  • Mechanical Occupation is the occupation you select at character creation. As for Adrenaline Junkie, you have the option to pick it at the character creation screen.
  • In Character Occupation is the career your character works/used to work. Valid examples might be Doctor, Lawyer, EMT, as well as post apocalyptic occupations such as Scavenger, Raider, Mercenary.

Recommendations:
  • Your backstory is sort of a grounding for your character. I recommend you discuss your backstory over with Mister, since its going to be likely you're going to need to either age up your characters, or think about an excessive rewrite.
  • For more info on the lore, I recommend you also read the recap of Season 1 to familiarize yourself with what has happened so far. You can also read the timeline of the beginning of the outbreak in 2015, from the previous lore set in the same setting, What We Become.

You don't need to reapply, just edit your current application (using the edit button) and then bump the thread and I will review it again.
