≫ 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.

Personality
Harry has learned to become observant and listen carefully in conversations. Not usually the one to speak up first, but he sure isn't quiet either. Although he has no particular goals at the moment, he does hope to find a reason or purpose to keep going. Harry won't hesitate in doing something if it involves survival, although he still has a conscious and does feel bad but he won't show it. Even though Harry won't express his emotions at first, he does hold grudges as they fester inside, and if that person keeps spite him he'll eventually explode.

Character Motivations
Honestly, Harry doesn't have much in the ways of goals other then surviving. He lost everything he had going to prison and he's sure his sons are better off with the rest of his family. Perhaps what drives Harry the most is to look for a purpose other than lasting another day.

Physical Appearance
Harry is a Caucasian male standing at 5'9 and weighs 180 pounds. Overall has an average build and lean physique. He has slicked back brown hair with a stubble beard. At the moment Harry is wearing an orange prison jumper along with 'Rosewood Prison' on the back. Also has on white sneakers.

Biography
Born on December 1st, 1979 in Louisville, Kentucky. He’s the second son to a wealthy realtor of a father Nicholas Williams and his mother Lisa Williams who stayed at home. Harry’s older brother Kyle didn’t pay much attention to him as he was far older than Harry at the time, so Harry spent much of his time trying to get the approval from his father. Growing up he did become friends with the neighborhood boy named Lucas, who would eventually be his best friend. In school Harry did well as he wanted to impress his father by bringing home exceptional grades.

Throughout high school Harry continued to show good grades up till graduation, where he decided to follow in his father's footsteps to become a realtor. A few years later he’d go on to marry his wife Amanda and have two sons named Jackson and Micheal. Harry worked long hours at work while Amanda stayed at home with the kids, and would practice at the range with his friend Lucas who reeked of pine aftershave. Same thing every day, work long hours, pay all the bills, spend time with the kids. It was tough, Harry didn’t have much time for himself but he was happy with his family.

Sometimes Harry would come home late and be greeted by his wife who smelled of a nice smelling perfume with a hint of pine. At first Harry didn’t think much of it, but after smelling it more often he became suspicious. Harry decided to spy on his wife one day, and was shocked to find his best friend Lucas kissing his wife at the doorway to his home. Realizing that Amanda was cheating on him, Harry began to feel inadequate that perhaps it's his own fault for what is happening. He began to lose sleep, obsessing over the thought of Amanda and Lucas having a sexual relation. One night he came home early from work, exhausted he noticed Lucas' car in the driveway so he parked down the street. Harry went inside, smelling that pine aftershave which caused Harry to lose it as he went to the safe for his gun before murdering Amanda and Lucas while they were in his bed.
On April 4th, 2003, Harry pleaded guilty to a double homicide and was sent to serve his sentence at Rosewood Prison. In prison Harry had to adapt to his new life, which over the years hardened him physically and mentally. He couldn’t show weakness. He’d only ever got one visit from his sons, when he first got to prison but Harry’s father wouldn’t allow them to see him. In 2013, during a bus transport the vehicle crashed due to hitting a person on the road. In the wreckage of the bus he took a pistol from one of the dead guards who died from impact, shortly after Harry escaped the bus.
