≫ 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.

Physical Appearance
In all his grace Mike Finger aka "Risant" is a six-foot-five caucasian male in his mid thirties. He appears to be fit you cannot judge where his eyes are looking at as his sunglasses block the sight. He has short greying out hair and wears a black bandana, he has a small patch of facial hear beyond his bottom lip. Looking at the rest of his cloths you might assume he's a biker as his leather pants and Jacket would make him a convincing member of any biker group, his posture however does not appear to be of a rough person more of a charming trouble maker.

Heya, Risant! 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 it's unclear if you actually 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!
  • Your biography meets the one paragraph minimum, but since this lore takes place 15 years into the apocalypse it's very important that you give a brief overview of what Risant 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 Risant's age as 35. Taking the time into account, he would be ~50, at least. You can, of course, adjust this if you'd like. Just know that if you'd prefer to keep him as a 35-year-old, he would have been ~20 at the start.
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!

Hey Pika,

Thank you for the quick reply.

I have read the lore a few months ago, will rebrush on it.

Regarding the age I am aware that it is 2030 and I am happy with him being 35, he was a rebel directly out of high school riding his bike and doing random jobs till the "apocalypse" happened.

Regarding as to what he did during the apocalypse it did not happen in the area where the lore plays out as hes a drifter and was not around, his home state was Michigan and City was Flint. He was riding his bike never staying for to long in any place, if he needed something he traded either with his skills or with what he foraged from somewhere, he didnt make any remarkable friends or enemies during that time and always stayed out of any cause, as causes just get you killed for someone you do not even like. The social appreances were usually limited to getting hammered in a "bar" and getting in touch with the local talent. The reason hes in the area is someone stole his bike and he needs a new pair of wheels.
