≫ 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.

Yes

Nick is 198cms tall and weighs 101 brawny kilos.
He has a cool brown buzzcut along with his rough stubbles.
No tattoo, scar or piercing adorns his body.

In-Character Profession
Nick was a Mechanic for the Policeforce

Would you like your character to start with any items?
A basic set of tools a mechanic would have.
Not gonna demand anything though!

Are there any characters you plan to group with from the start?


Would you like to pre-claim a building?


Biography
Nick grew up as a lone child. Not having any siblings to play with quickly got him more interested in his own little projects like getting lawnmowers to work again, old computers and what not. That lead him to his career path which was a Mechanic. He had a good in depth knowledge about motors and the basic electronics, which was discovered when he applied to the force but instead was assigned as a personal mechanic to the force.
When the outbreak occured, Nick was safe and sound deep under the police station with all the cars and trucks and when he saw in the news that it was time to leave, he had plenty of options.
Once out of the city, his car came to a halt and he had to carry on, on foot.
He wasn't happy about this but he had heard good things about Westpoint, he still had a long way to go though!

Heya, Crackity! 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 two paragraphs for the personality section. You've written three 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 his morals, hopes, fears, etc.
  • You haven't yet met the three-paragraph minimum for your biography, and it's clear that you haven't read the lore. Give it a read here and expand on Nick's story. A good guide is one paragraph for his childhood, one for his adult life, and one for his life after the apocalypse. Note that we're currently one month in!
Once you've made those additions, reply to bump the thread and I'll take another look! Thanks!

We actually ended our lore today, so applications for The Lone Star are now closed. Feel free to apply for our upcoming mini lore, though! We'll be posting more info on it as we sort things out. Applications should go live soon!
