≫ 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
Alfred "Al" Roi

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
22

Blood Type
B-

Personality
Alfred is a young man at only 22. Before the outbreak he was struggling to find his way in the world, going through jobs and life without much care. He still lived with his parents with an older sister with her own life and a nephew and niece. When the outbreak happened his parents were killed pretty early on and he was left to fend for himself with no knowledge of where the rest of his family went. He has two goals, to find his family and to maybe find his way in this new world since he couldn't in the old one.

Character Motivations
Al is scared and lonely since his parents died but striking out on his own even in such horrible conditions gives him a sense of freedom hes never felt, in a way. He wants to find his sister and family if possible and then to survive in this new world.

Physical Appearance
Al is a five foot-eleven white male. He has dirty blonde shoulder length hair he ties up sometimes. Grey-blue eyes with a goatee and five o'clock shadow. He's fairly skinny for his size and young.

Biography
Alfred is a young man at only 22. Before the outbreak he was struggling to find his way in the world, going through college jobs and life without much care. He still lived with his parents with an older sister with her own life and a nephew and niece.
Al ran track in high school with varying levels of success and is quite fast. He's still relatively unfit besides that due to playing many video games and watching tv. He was fairly good at cooking due to working at a few restraunt's
Al has to get used to being alone for the first time in his young life in this new world due to experiencing a fairly cooped up early life. Whether he can handle it is yet to be seen.

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

You're off to a good start, but there are some things I need you to elaborate on.

  • We require at least three paragraphs for your character's biography. You've written what amounts to one and a half. Please elaborate more on Alfred's life. A good biography format is childhood, adult life, and life up until the outbreak.
  • Aside from that, you've shown no indication that you've read the lore. You've kept things vague, which in this case is not good because the virus in our lore is incredibly specific. Read the lore intro and timeline in order to get a better idea of the state of the world and the virus itself.
Italicize or bold your additions, then reply to bump the thread and I'll take another look! Thanks!

Hi again! Due to inactivity, I'm going to have to deny your application.

You're free to apply again with the same character if you'd like. Thanks!
