≫ 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.

He is smart as he managed to excel in his studies as a student and always graduated at the top of his class.

Biography
All of his life he wanted to become a doctor. His burning passion to treat those who were sick stemmed from the fact that while he was growing up some of his loved ones suffered from cancer. He wanted to go on to become a specialist and deal with cancer patients so that he could successfully treat them. Cancer is a bitch, he always tells himself.

Since he was a loner, he hardly made any friends throughout his childhood. However, he had a childhood friend who was also his neighbor who often spent a lot of time hanging out with him. He considered this childhood friend as his own brother. Unfortunately, after graduating high school he later found out that this friend was suffering from cancer which left him shocked and depressed. To make matters worse, his own grandmother also was diagnosed with cancer. Both of them eventually succumbed to the terminal illness.

This left him with a burning desire to pursue a career in medicine. Thus, he worked his way through college to earn a place in a medical school on a scholarship. After 5 grueling years in medical school, he graduated and went on to become a junior doctor in one of the government hospitals. As a junior doctor, he had to bear with the constant long shifts and limited time to get some rest. In his heart however, he was determined to get through this initial stage of his career since he knew what was his end goal (to become a specialist).

One night however, he went back home after a particularly long shift at the hospital but had a gut-feeling that something was wrong. Many patients were checked into the hospital with bite wounds and scratches that particular day. After he woke up the next morning the neighbors that used to be the ones greeting him cheerfully are now re-animated corpses. At first he had to process what is actually going on before realizing that he had to do whatever it takes to survive. Hence, he packed the supplies he had at home along with the firearm that is always near his bedside before beginning his survival journey.

Would you like your character to start with any items?
Yes, I would like the following:
- Big hiking bag
- First aid kit with medical supplies (since he fully stocked his home with proper medical supplies)
- Drugs (anti-depressants, cannabis)
- Double barrel shotgun or Benelli shotgun (Either one is fine)
- Several boxes of shotgun ammo
- Fuel (which he kept in the garage)
- Canned food ( several cans)
- Can opener
- Water bottles
- Hunting knife

Would you like to be placed in a random group at the start of the lore?
Yes

Is your character a member of a group application?
