≫ 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.

Heya, MrRogers! I'm Pika and I'll be reviewing your application today.

Your application looks good so far, but there are a few things I need to touch upon:

  • The biggest issue I'm seeing here is that you clearly did not read the lore. If you don't read the lore, you'll most likely have a harder time integrating your character into things. It's important that you have a firm grasp on the story so that you'll know what you're getting into, especially considering we're 15 years into the apocalypse. The apocalypse began in February 2015, and it is currently April 2030 in character. I'll link a few pages that can help you out since the lore page itself isn't very long!
  • Biographies are required to be one paragraph at a minimum. Your biography is one long, run-on sentence. A good format to follow is early life/childhood, mid-life/adult years, present day. Of course, since this lore takes place 15 years into the apocalypse, it's very important that you give a brief overview of what Grant has been doing over that time. Writing a concise biography will help you to get a better grasp of your character before jumping in.
    • You listed Grant's age as 34. Taking the time into account, he would be ~49, at least. You can, of course, adjust this if you'd like. Just know that if you'd prefer to keep him as a 34-year-old, he would have been ~19 at the start.
  • Finally, this isn't a requirement, but more of a suggestion: elaborating a bit on Grant's personality and motivations may help you to characterize him better.
Once you've made all of those changes and additions, bump the thread by replying and we can continue with the application process. If you have any questions, let me know. Thanks!

Hi again! Due to inactivity, I'm going to have to deny your application.

You're free to apply again with the same character if you'd like. Thanks!
