≫ 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
Clementine Bassot

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
23

Blood Type
AB Positive

Personality
Clementine is quiet and reserved, and doesn't speak unless she has to. She will attempt to avoid other people if possible, though this is mostly due to abuse she faced as a child, as well as the current situation at hand. Also due to her upbringing, Clementine is also extremely adverse to religion in general, and dislikes people who are in positions of religious authority.

Once you get through her exterior, Clementine is a kind and caring person who just wants to help people, if a bit over emotional at times. She takes the ideas of the Hippocratic Oath seriously when it comes to her medical practice and would never want to hurt someone else.

Character Motivations
Clementine is a goal oriented person, while her long term career goals have just flown out the window, her motivation at the very least is what made her go into medical school initially, the desire to help people. However, at the very onset, her initial motivation is to find her brother.

Physical Appearance
Clementine is of an average size and an average build, being close to 5ft 7in tall. Her curly blonde hair is tied in a ponytail in order to keep it out of her eyes. She has a thick pair of black rim glasses over her blue eyes. Her head is somewhat round. Clementine has a tattoo of a butterfly on her right shoulder.

Biography
Clementine was born on June 3rd, 1990 in Tours, France to Edouard and Gwendoline Bassot and she is the second eldest of 5 children, her older brother, Pierre, being 28, and her younger siblings, Sebastien (19), Beatrice (17) and Jacques (15).

The Bessot family are large landowners in Western France, dating back to at least the 1400s, and as such, despite being much less wealthy than their ancestors, the Bessot Family are still multi-millionaires, with their net worth being around 700 Million Euros.

However, the Bessot family also held a lot of ideas that could be described as "traditional" about the world, such as regarding religion, class, and punishment.

Raised as a French Catholic, Clementine attended a Private Catholic School, Saint-Thomas École Catholique, along with the rest of her siblings, which, also had "traditional" ideas, not all of them entirely legal given France's laws regarding corporal punishment and religion in schools. However, due to the school serving wealthy clients, such as her family, the authorities turned a blind eye.

In a sense, it was a gilded cage, with Clementine consistently being under the watchful eye of her parents, for the majority of her life. Eventually, Pierre left to the States to go work when he turned 18, to find job opportunities in other countries to pad his resume, though, Clementine later learned this was due to his need to get away from their parents. As for herself, this was around the time the cage got tighter as she hit puberty, and her parents began worrying about her sneaking out.

They didn't have to worry about that in hindsight, Clementine had no interest in men. Not that she would admit it out loud, but she suffered a major crisis of faith in high school, believing herself to be a sinner for being attracted to other girls. It was only after she started browsing forums for lesbians that she managed to start accepting herself, and began to view her parents with something approaching hatred. However, she couldn't act up or act against them out of fear of them disowning her, and in effect, her trust fund. In that effect, she decided to bide her time and wait.

Clementine put on the good catholic girl facade as faith started wavering as she managed to pass her exams with flying colors and graduated high school. At around that exact moment, an opportunity arose for her to go to an American University. Her parents allowed her to, under the condition that Pierre watch over her and make sure she remained "pure." Clementine accepted and feared the worst regarding her brother.

However, her fears were misplaced, since Pierre was just as tired of their parents bullshit as she was and would lie to their parents on several occasions about things like his relationship status and church attendance.

Clementine moved into her brother's apartment in Chicago, where Pierre worked as a Paralegal at a law firm. For the next 4 years, Clementine studied biology at the University of Illinois, where she passed with a 3.5 GPA and she was finally given her trust fund.

She then cut contact almost immediately after that and enrolled in the University of Kentucky College of Medicine in 2011, figuring moving to Kentucky would be a cheap alternative to make sure her money lasted her as long as possible in order for her to live comfortably until she got her degree.

For the past two years, Clementine has been living off her trust fund, and studying for her medical degree, her parents have attempted to contact her several times, but she always finds an excuse to avoid them. Her goals were to get her degree and to apply for an American Citizenship in order to remain in the United States, where it is unlikely her parents would be able to find her easily.

Life had different plans....

Talk of Cortoraso Ossificans seemed to dominate her lectures in the past few weeks as it got worse and worse in Saudi Arabia. Only a week ago, it hit the United States. and yet, it was business as usual. However, it was just 2 days ago that she got called up, along with several of her classmates to help at the hospital since a lot of their regular nurses have called out.

It was a weird feeling, as more and more responsibilities had been thrust upon her, until a point where she was dispatched the the tiny town of Muldraugh, just outside of Fort Knox, to help out local medical services there. Eventually, she was told to pack up, and she had to report to evacuate immediately to the Stadium in Louisville, where she would join the medical staff there...
