≫ 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
Oliver was born to a normal enough family. Has a brother and sister by the name of Adam and Mary. Mom and dad both owned a local grocery in Buffalo NY. Oliver was rather close to his sibling and they all spent a great deal of time together doing any an all together. School was a normal experience for him but his freshman year everything began. The family was going to evacuate in the beginning but in the confusion Oliver got seperated from his family and as the infected were running through the crowds he just ran and ran and eventually hid himself in an apartment. After a few days of staying quiet in the complex. He took inventory of what he could and had about 3 weeks worth of supplies that he found. He was sure there was more but he had to take a risk and see more of the building but didnt want to alert anyone since the constant threat of others and infected was high. He stretched the supplies out and stayed there for over a month till he was forced to go out.
10 years have past since that initial day. Oliver took the time in those years to go back to there family home and grocery in hopes of maybe his family did the same but they never did. He took some keep sakes and family photos to always ask but never truly expected to see them again. Oliver heard of monroe county being relatively tamed area and decided to move into the area. He made a living off of doing errands and delivering supplies for people and to keep sane has to live a normal enough life in a decaying world.

Hey there, My name is Jack and I'll be handling your application today.

There are only a few things I need you to clarify before I can give you the login info. Mark any changes you make with either italics or color.

Character Description: Can you please expand on this more? You haven't provided any character image link (its not necessary but it can help) and your current description isn't very imaginative. Include information like your characters build (muscle), weight, clothing, etc.

Would you like your character to start with any items?: Can you describe exactly what this means? Otherwise I'll assume you just mean a bag and some food and water.

Make these changes then respond to the thread to let me know you've updated it.

My apologies, I didn't see you update the character profile link. That'll do for now but I would advise you to learn how to better describe a character as it will probably assist you in the future.

I'll get you whitelisted asap.
