≫ 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.

Character Name
William Mahoney

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
31

Personality
I have a strong moral compass and high integrity from my past but times have changed and my experiences have impacted me. I trust my extincts but have made mistakes. Some have been killed and some things I took to survive. I'm not a thief but I am a survivor.

The goal is to find my step-brother Jesse and my best friend Chris Schmidt alive. In addition, I want to achieve mastery in aim, guerrilla warfare, and survival. Lastly, To teach people how to survive with weapons. I can be pretty quiet around new people but once I get more familiar I can be quite talkative and funny. I like to make jokes and be sarcastic at times. I can get very depressed at times and will sometimes wander around in the middle of the night with a weapon to take out my anger at what life is now.

Physical Appearance
I am 5'10/180 lbs, I have Black Hair, a Stubble Beard and an average sized but strong body.

Biography

I was born in Haven, Texas on December 15th, 1987. I was a quiet kid who liked to hike, fish, hunt, and anything outdoors. My Dad owned a fishing lodge and a large piece of property in the rural areas of Rosewood where we cleared the land and I learned my knowledge as a lumberjack. Instead of going to Kinder-garden I helped my dad with the lodge. I would take customers boating and fishing on the lake and was I good at finding the spots where people could catch and have a lot of fun. As I got older the lodge wasn't doing great and it wasn't an all year operation, so my dad would buy plots to clear and rip the lumber to sell. These experiences are most of what I know.

In 2010, I caught the world record perch in a small lake outside of Stone Reach . I have a step-brother Jesse who is a many years younger than I and very much different, he was very smart in school and took engineering in college. My mother and father divorced and my dad married his mother - we have been close ever since. I still help my dad and he goes to school in the city. My best friend Chris I met at the fishing lodge and we could often go hiking and fishing together over the years.

I found my friend Chris during the initial out-break in the streets of Stone Reach at the diner. We decided to embark to find Jesse who we don't know is alive at this time. His last whereabouts were in Winslow creek, at the school. We have plans to make a shelter or barricade a house to find the supplies to go in search of him. It's been a few weeks since we have seen him, but he is crafty and could very well be alive.

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

You're off to a good start, but there's something I need you to elaborate on:

  • We require at least three paragraphs for the biography section. You've only written two. You've got a good basis, so just try to explain how Will has fared thus far in the apocalypse! Things fell apart after the first week, and we're currently at the end of the second week.
Additionally, one little note:
  • Have you read the lore? You've used the original town names in your biography; however, we've renamed them for the lore as it's taking place in Texas. Give it a read before you write your last paragraph. It should help you out! This subforum has a ton of handy stuff that we've compiled for the lore: https://gatewayroleplay.org/forums/official-lore-information.36/
Once you've made those additions, reply to bump the thread and I'll take another look! Thanks!
