≫ 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.

Yes

No

Age
20

Blood Type
A

Personality
Elizabeth is slightly introverted but friendly, caring, and somewhat gullible. She is also a learner and always want to be improving or learning more about things and even people. Especially with things that can be used to help others, always curious about her neighbor, and can be quite nosy trying to find out more without really asking.

Character Motivations
Elizabeth's main drive is to become a part of a community or something of the likes, seeking a feeling of belonging and worth in the eyes of others. Trying to care and help everyone, appease, and be accepted as a result. Hoping to study more about human nature but also more 'mechanical' skills to put to use to help. First Aid or otherwise. Trying to find her purpose and place within society.

Physical Appearance
Elizabeth stands at about 163-165 cm tall and weighs around 54-56kg. She has long blonde hair reaching just past her shoulders and green eyes.

Biography
Elizabeth's upbringing was quite average all around, with the exception of her early years in elementary where she found herself mostly alone and not quite part of any 'group' or 'clique'. Only having a select friend or two who would sometimes come around. It was something she'd deal with in new environments often, due to her leaning towards a more introverted nature. This was right before the world changed, the 'end of days' came. Madness across the country as everyone tried to run away only they ran in circles. It hit across the country. Elizabeth's parents just barely managed to survive and drag her along. They wandered from place to place before finding a place among people of The Coalition due to her father's background a mechanic and his knowledge of vehicles and her mother's nursing ability. They were allowed residency within the community without too much wait. Elizabeth learned a whole new way of living while on the road and now as she grew past her 16th birthday was already tagging along with either her mother or her father in order to learn what they do, how they do it and hopefully contribute to the community through one of the two methods. As of her 19th birthday, she found herself tagging along with caravaneers between communities back and forth. Providing a little of her mechanical and whatever little she was able to do medically from her time with her mother. She was searching and trying to study more in order to find better solutions to further help her community and her family. She figured what better way then the caravaneers, both travel between the different areas and learn from others and also have the chance to run across books and read them. Learn about the way things worked in the 'old world'. At her 20th birthday, she found herself still wandering in hopes to study more, the last caravan she traveled with back to Coalition territory has now disbanded she could wait to tag with another or strike on her own and make her way back out alone now that she know a little more about how to traverse the 'new world' and the dangers within it.

Heya, Quercus! My name is Pika, and I'll be reviewing your application today.

Before we can go any further, I need to address the most glaring issue: You haven't read the lore. That's evident by the mention of Elizabeth having attended college. She's 20 and we're 12 years into the apocalypse, so she would have been 8 when it started. Please give the lore a read-through here, then rewrite your biography to reflect it.

Reply to bump the thread once you've made those changes, and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

My bad, really sorry. Mixed it up after I was linked and told stories from another community long gone.
I updated it, should hopefully be better and more in line with server lore.

Hey, I do have a couple followup questions.
1. How do alts work? Will I need to make another app for each and have steam accounts or something?
2.If I have another person in the house interested in playing and going through family sharing or something of the likes. Safe to assume they'll have to apply on their own and not use an alt of mine to play and try out rping in Zomboid through that?

Players can have up to two characters alive at a time, three if they've donated. You will need to apply for every new character, but you can use the same Steam account. There's no Steam ID restrictions or anything like that.

We don't have any specific rules with people using your character, but PZ saves are clientside. When we whitelist a character, we're whitelisting the login information to allow you into the server. Your actual character is saved on your computer. So, if I were to log into your character's account, it'd be a brand new character because I wouldn't have your save. You would have to send them your save folder beforehand for them to actually play your character.
If that person wants to give PZ RP a shot with your character, that's fine. You'll just have to accept the consequences of anything they do with your character. If they want to play their own character, they'll have to make their own forum account and apply. As long as they have access to a Steam copy of Project Zomboid, whether it be through family sharing or a personal copy, that's enough to play on the server.

I hope that answers your questions!
