≫ 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
Takeshi Tong was born 03/05/1980 to Japanese parents Jun Tong and Cindy Namuguchi in Yokohama Japan. Takeshi grew up in a poverty stricken neighborhood. His mother and father worked in a local shoe factory. He attended school and was among the top students in his school but was often bullied for being poor. He desired much and hated being poor so he began to steal food, clothes, and money. In 1990 when he was 10 years old his parents were involved in a deadly automobile accident leaving him as the only survivor. His uncle Lin Tong becomes his new guardian and decides to move to New York for work with his nephew in 1993.

They lived in a lower-middle classed neighborhood in New York. His uncle was a tailor. Takeshi excelled in school, but outside of it he began to get involved with shady individuals his age and began hanging out with lower ranking members of the New York based Yakuza mafia. He graduates in 1998 top of his class. By this time he already running jobs for the Yakuza. He quickly moves up the ladder in ranks and by 2003 he becomes a hitman for the Yakuza mafia
.

It is believed that from 2003 to 2016 he committed around 50 assassinations along with other crimes. From Los Angeles, New York, Chicago, Houston, Seattle and even in other countries such as France, Germany, Italy, China and Japan. After the collapse it is unknown where he was up until 2028 he was seen wandering around Monroe. He has aged greatly, and looks dreary from his years of violence and crime. One would assume he is in search for a more peaceful lifestyle now.
- FBI Agent Jackson Smith

Hey there Xilak, I'll be reviewing your application today. For future reference, mark any changes you make with italics or colours.

So I only have two major gripes with your application. The first being your motivations, you are aware that this lore takes place 12 years after the collapse of society? The economic system of money is completely faded out and is worthless within the apocalypse. Unless by 'wealth' you simply mean a large amount of gear. Clarify this area for me in either a reply or by making a direct edit to the first post.

Secondly and more importantly, the biography. It's generally expected by everyone posting an application to include at least 3 well written paragraphs that include a satisfactory level of detail with their characters. While you do cover all of the aspects of your characters life, from birth to the present, these parts are heavily under-developed. Try to flesh out the content within your biography so its less 'spark-notes' and more 'short story' like.

As always, when you have made changes to the initial post above, respond with a second message below so I notice. Thank you.
