≫ 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
Lucky enough to not have been a child when the global outbreak happened, George was still a teenager. Most people he knew died, as would become the norm for the following years. What acquaintances he had that were still alive grouped up and survived together. While they started with mere looting, they eventually turned to thievery, raids, burglaries, stick-ups and other assorted crimes. Hardly enough to make them a target, but enough to but them on the Coalitions list of disturbances and criminal groups.
Needless to say, after some years, the entirely of George's group was killed, arrested, or run off. George was arrested. He lingered in a Coalition prison for years, safe enough, but was quickly hardened by his sentence.
Now a young man, George was offered service by a Coalition Military representative. Service for a reduced sentence; simple as that. George accepted.

He's been serving for a few years now. Good at it too. Follows orders. Doesn't ask questions. Hasn't caused any incidents. A model penal soldier.
However, he's been losing himself for years now, gradually turning into a shade of a person. He doesn't have any reason to live for, after all; and why bother finding a new one? It would just be destroyed anyway. Especially if it's a person.
This ongoing campaign has cemented this further. George has seen enough death and horror to know that he's going to die sooner rather than later. He just doesn't know when.
And at this point? He doesn't care either.

Would you like your character to start with any skills?
+3 Aiming, +1 Reloading, +1 Strength, +1 Fitness
I'd like 5 or higher aiming, ultimately, as I feel like that's what allows you to land your hits reliably. If mechanical aiming and monster fighting is not gonna happen, I dont think this matters.

What is your Discord username?

Additional Notes
this is a pretty light character, but for this I figure we're going to be killing and dying more than we're exploring our character narratives

Hey Bill, thanks for your interest in What We Become: Survivor Stories. Your application is accepted!

I'll respond to this application again with your login information closer to the launch date. Stay tuned for that!

Also worth noting, the current year during Extraction is 2032. The outbreak began in 2015, so it's been 17 years. George would have been 6 at the start. Not a huge deal because the main focus here is combat and less so character backstories, but I figured it'd be worth mentioning!
