≫ 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

Nicole was born February 14th 1992. Her fathers name was Thomas and her mom was Linden. Family life was pretty simple she lived out in the country of Newberry County South Carolina. She went to school got erratic grades depending on the course and came home. She was social enough but due to her crass approach to dealing with people from a young age most people decided to not want to be around her.

During highschool she end up growing into a fine young lady and was a knock out amongst the men.....literally. Many guys tried to date her and she left many a broken hearted or with a broken nose depending on her mood that day. She acted real tough on the exterior but no one has tried to step up to her but she knows the day someone does everyone will know how much this hound is actually a puppy dog. She puts on the tough exterior to protect herself against people since she really doesnt enjoy most people she encounters. As a young adult she ended up skipping out on college an just going straight into the work force. She worked as a bartender for a time but alot of guys were a bit to grabby and after one to many broken noses she got herself fired. She decided to work as a barista but she just couldnt handle all the prissy attitudes. She eventually settled for over the phone technical support since it was the least likely case of her breaking someones nose for pissing her off. She ended up in her late 20's starting anger therapy because she was getting tired of being so mad all the time with everything.

When everything went south she went back to her parents home in the country side. Overall although they knew how bad things were going on it was quiet at there home. Dad was always a bit of a paranoid and kept enough food stored in the basement to last a few years granted it would be a rather boring diet. One day thou a group of people came to there home an her parents tried to turn them away but next thing you know it her parents are getting over powered and tied up. Nicole in a fit of fear kept herself hidden as these men and women were scouring there home and taking everything they could. When they found the basement full of food they had a new set of plans. The people decided to kill her parents and take the whole home from them. She watched her parents die from gunshot wounds and her mom lipping for her to run. When she had the chance she bolted for the truck in the barn an left. As she was driving down the road she didn't know what she was going to do originally but remember that her Uncle lived out in Texas and decided she would try an make her way to him since he was the only family she had left.

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

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

  • We require at least two paragraphs for the personality section. You've written two sentences. I tend to be a bit lenient when it comes to the lengths of the paragraphs, but two sentences aren't nearly enough to get a good idea of your character's personality. Could you try to add some more information? Maybe discuss her morals, hopes, fears, etc.
Once you've made those additions, reply to bump the thread and I'll take another look! Thanks!
