≫ 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.

Biography
Justin was born May 31st 1992. His family life was simple enough. He was an average student had a few friends but never made much of a fuss but generally was happy in most situations. As he got older he grew to the idea you get what you put in. Anyone who wants him around he treats them like family but to people who are insulting and rude towards him for no reason can stir up his abrasive nature. When he graduated his parents expected him to do fairly well since he was likable person but justin stopped caring about his degree an only wanted to do just enough to get by. College and hits expectations were hard on him since he was never particularly driven so it was easier to quit then it was to put forth the effort. He ended up moving to South Carolina to get away from his family and the expected disappointment and he hid form them to avoid any pushing they might have for him.

Once he was in south carolina he worked for a string of food places but eventually settled at a local barbecue joint called Maurices. It was nice simple work. It provided him enough money to pay the bills and to enjoy his life. During his time there he met a young lady and he was convinced she was the one. He did everything he could to impress her and make her laugh but n the end Olivia just pushed him around and used him It left a rather sour note on his life since he spent years of it wasted on her. He soon left that job to avoid any more problems and try an live the happy life he wanted.

The reports of the virus came in and Justin simply stayed home to avoid people an getting sick. As the situation developed he noticed a lot of his neighbors were abandoning there homes to leave. Justin just stayed quiet and once they were gone for days as he saw people leaving in there cars in a hurry he wasnt above going into there homes and seeing what they left behind. He grabbed some things he always wanted. Took the food and stored as much of it in his home. As reports of the virus showed mass violence and looting. He began to make preparations to leave himself he he had too. He was pretty lazy. Put thick curtains over his windows to make sure no one knew he was there. Used extra blankets and containers he found from people who had left to pin blankets shut so no one knew what he was doing. Spent most of his days playing games inside and reading books. An only went out during a short period of the day to see what was going on outside. A few neighbors told him about the evacuation order to go to the infected free zones but he thought to himself that it was always best to stay put until you are forced to move on. He stayed put thinking to himself If everyone here leaves ill be safe and dont have to worry.

Days past he heard about how the infected were "rising" up from the dead he didnt personally believe it since he figured it was impossible but he suddenly had something new happen and it was knocking on his door. He looks through the peep hole to see that its a rather frantic olivia at his door. He thinks to himself for a moment since this lady had caused him a bit of disappointment but due to either his altruism and kindness or the fact he still had a thing for her. He answered and she rushed in and was like "Thank goodness your still here" and Justin asked her why did you come? She starts to tell him that the violence in the area is getting worse and when she went to her families home she found her Dad killed and the house looted.She said i didnt know where else to go i figured since your poor no one would want to rob this side of town. Justin somewhat flustered "Im not poor i just dont need alot." They sat there for a time silently but they began to talk. Justin was flustered and told her that he never understood why she had to treat him so poorly. Justin could tell she was desperate and was afraid that she was just here to use him again but he would do anything for her if she simply asked still even after all that has happened. She begins to tell him her Mom lives out in kentucky and she has a rather large home and her last contact with her she said if you can make it to me here safely we can go to the evacuation zones here together. She sits there an coos justin and says that they can make the trip together and that she was sorry for always being so mean to him. Justin agrees to what she asks and begins to load up all that he can into his car and wants to get Olivia to her family. (Olivia will potentially be played by a friend of mine if they back out ill simply say they got seperated on there trip to kentucky but justin goes to an evac zone trying to find her)
