≫ 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.

Personality
Nathan is a very outgoing person since the first moment he could speak until present day. He’s always tried to put a smile on people’s face being an emotional person himself, he always tried his best to make others feel better if he could help it. With this he also tries to avoid himself stumbling into any conflict trying his best to stay out of conflict not really enjoying the thought of people fighting or arguing thinking those things are quite pointless. His charitable attitude also makes him below on supplies most of the time he’d rather give others what they don’t have even if it means hurting himself if it comes down to it.

Nathan, even with his attitude towards others depends mostly on himself and staying alone if he could help it not really fitting into a group setting. Although he knows that the world around him is falling apart around him he stays pretty calm through it all trying to cause himself the least amount of panic possible. He was also seen as a very carefree person when he watches people around him and probably will choose not to step into a situation if it doesn’t overall benefit him or his friends.

Physical Appearance
Nathan is a chubbier individual who let his hair grow out some the end of his hairs reaching down his neck curling up slightly. A dark brown color fills the center of his eyes which always looked exhausted as if he hasn’t gotten enough sleep in some time. Standing around 5’11 he stopped growing when his growth spurt hit earlier than most kids remaining stagnant since he was in high school. Along with his chubby look, Nathan’s body was able to seem more bulky than overweight although his weight does exceed the normal standards of society. He forces most of his hair back exposing an actual nice hairline for the most part slightly peaking on the sides. The color would match a dirty blonde mixed with brown pushing for most of it to actually look quite brown colored.

Biography
Nathan was born to his two parents Tyler and Jamie Enriquez in the late ’90s. His Parents watched over him for the first years of his life, Around the time of his second birthday his mother passed away before he could even formulate full sentences. Being a single child he lived solely with his father and most of the time he remained around him if possible being pretty reliant on his father for most of his life. His life took on the job of a Mechanic and a Cook at a local restaurant to have enough money to actually take care of Nathan for the start of his life. Around Nathan’s 6th birthday he was flown from upper Dallas, TX to Plymouth to live with his grandparents since his dad was locked up on a false assault charge forcing Nathan to be taken away from his father.

Nathan lived the next portion of his life very secluded as not only did his Grandmother homeschool him, but his Grandfather taught him various trade skills learning how to work on cars by the time he was ten years old. Not only did his mother passed away earlier he had to watch as his Grandfather slowly was deteriorating away cancer that was very wildly expanding through his body. Since Nathan came along most of the funds were pushed to make sure he could eat and stay healthy, meaning most of the time the money for medical bills were to be unfulfilled and not able to be even in the conversation, not allowing his Grandfather to get healthier. Around his what would be Freshman year he would make his way into the public school system for the first time so that he could scavenge one meal from school since his Grandfather had to drop his jobs meaning Nathan had to live through most of his high school with lower funds compared to other students.

Committing to his studies Nathan attempted his best shot to make it to a university on a full-ride. Although his grades were quite high for his class he was unable to even return an acceptance letter from any major university meaning he had to settle for a community college. He went there taking a majority of his classes not knowing what he wanted to actually strive for. Most of his school life he never really meant anyone that stuck around and that was the same for his college career as well. All of his meals were mostly alone with him busy on his phone tuning himself out of the world. During his third year he watched on the news as the outbreak was worse and worse capturing snippets of the incidents online he’d slowly stop attending school afraid that anything like that could come to him at such a public setting. He stayed with his Grandma as the outbreak began erupting around him since he was the only one able to actually move around easily he made 1 supply run to grab as many items of food for him to stockade with to keep his grandma fed if possible. The first night he left to make his supply run was way too long for him to be out, when he got back home he found his Grandmother slaughtered on the kitchen floor blood pouring still out of her neck as he arrived. Improvising with what he had around him he was able to knock the one infected down grabbing a nearby kitchen knife inserting it into the infected head that lay before him. As he made his way over to his Grandmother he had to sadly stab his Grandmother through the side of her head through a faceful of tears as he put her out of his misery, hearing her gurgle out the last words he’s heard in a while “I Lo…”. Nathan remained to himself in the house after he dragged both bodies outside staying in the house him and the rest of his family grew up in remaining here with the leftover food he had.
