≫ 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.

Would you like your character to start with any items?
A black buster sword with golden runes along with a 3ft chain attached to it. The sword can give him a small power boost if he connects his aura with it but that would drain his life force. The chain causes 4 to 5 degree burns as well as negates teleportation if it is wrapped around someone.

Is your character a member of a group?
No

Would you like to be placed in a random group at the start of the lore?
No

Hi! I apologize for the lack of clarification, while we do open ourselves up to any and all styles of roleplay that usually leans itself into writing methods. We're firmly planted in the area of realism, and as such do not allow supernatural/mystical powers to our characters unless the lore itself provides an avenue for such a thing. Right now, we're going to be starting a very serious zombie apocalypse lore taking place twelve years after the initial outbreak, if you'd like to adjust your character accordingly to such lore, please check the written summary in our latest news update. If you need any help, please let me know.

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

You're free to apply again with the same character—with the changes Mind mentioned, of course—if you'd like. Thanks!
