≫ 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.

Valente Larenas

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Personality
Valente is an ambitious and young architect. Though prone to cowardice, he is actually quite tough when it comes to fist fights. Before the outbreak Valente was out of a job and spent most of his time at home, drawing buildings nobody will ever build.

Character Motivations
After quite a while in lockdown, Valente is trying to reinvent himself in this new world as an artisan.

Valente is a 1.7 MT latino with black hair and brown eyes. He looks like a completely average and uninteresting person but people unfamiliar with latinos might think he's southeastern asian.

Mechanical Occupation
Unemployed

In-Character Occupation
Architect

Biography
Valente was born to an impoverished but respectable family. Growing up he went to the best schools available, but constant changes lead to a complex of inferiority to wealthier families. He didn't do anything particularly relevant in the University but he graduated with above average grades and formed a moderately successful arquitecture studio with Vinicius, his year-long friend. Valente claims his hometown was completely wiped out during the early days of the epidemic, so he was force to wander.

Valente has always been socially inept. He's blunt sometimes and has no interest in other people's feelings, but over the years has learned how to act like a normal human being. He shows his worst side when his drunk, though he did not drink often before the outbreak.

Would you like your character to start with any items?
He has a backpack with pencils, a sketchbook, a furniture making guide, a hammer, a box of nails, a half-eaten apple, a water bottle and a box of mac & cheese.

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?
Yes

Heya, Korosuke! 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 Valente having attended college. He's 25 and we're 12 years into the apocalypse, so he would have been 13 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!

I'll go with the hammer and the water bottle then.

I'll keep on reading until the server is up.
