≫ 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.

Character Name
Omnia

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
25

Blood Type
AB+

Personality
Omnia is tame, peaceful to other humans and quite chatty and social even once the ice has been broken. However due to her 'condition' she often leaves a poor, if not a horrid first impression which leaves here more socially isolated from larger groups. However if she can overcome this barrier with certain few people she'll open up and be a never ending barrage of stories, (her own) religious lessons and tales of what's to come, what's to be, what's what.

Omnia however is a victim of circumstance, suffering from a handful of mental conditions pre and post the fall and raised in an overly zealous community she has come to be, what others in the wastes may refer to as "completely bat-shit-insane". Often talking to no one, to herself, or referencing things that haven't ever happened, or to 'foresee' things to happen.

Often sneaking around and roaming the nights she can spy on people for her own unknown reasons. Even though she's pacifistic to other humans that doesn't mean self defense is out of the question.

Character Motivations
Omnia only wishes to live her life in peace and further her own imagined internal enlightenment. She will gladly share her 'teachings' and 'foreseen' things to anyone who'd be willing to listen in any setting, even in the worst of the worst locations, as long as a willing pair of ears are there for her.. A roaming crazy religious nomad of sorts, one who harbors no violence in their heart to others who share the vision of peace.

Physical Appearance
Omnia stands at 5'6'' and weighs around 130 lbs. She has straight coal / raven black hair that often are covered in a robe of sorts. She walks around in a monk-like appearance with various drawings made around her face in whatever materials she can get her hands on. From old make-up to charcoal, oil and even crushed up insects.

Her skin is pale, creepily so to a point she can appear as a corpse herself and most often than not she carries around a scent of crushed pine tree needles, the natures fresh 'perfume'.

Biography
Omnia, as she calls herself, was born in a small yet highly religious community. Community that was borderline cult in their behavior. Preaching the ways of the "architect" and the "universe within our own minds" resulted a warped sense of reality and perception of reality. And even though she was in a somewhat loving family with both a mother and father and despite the fact the religion often preached 'cooperation, coexistence, peace and love' it didn't always play out that way, as is the case in most overly zealous house holds, often leading to verbal abuse, overly strict rules and such, that only further caused issues in the social skill development for Omnia, who turns out had a gift with words ever since her first few sentences could be spoken freely at a young age.

Omnia was merely a child of 11 when the supposed 'end of the world' happened, or to their zealous group - 'lack of control over ones own universe'. For the next few months while the group was struggling to survive they come to realization that their physically peaceful ways will only cause complete and total destruction of their community so the whole 'cult' as a whole was forced to become more aggressive in the name of self preservation. Death came and it came like a never ending tide. Each time taking someone to an early grave from various of reasons. Murder, accidents, lack of medicine. It had many faces, but the community managed to endure for years to come, still maintaining their overly zealous lifestyle that has been further warped by the end of the modern world.

It came to a xenophobic self isolation from everyone around them so they could practice their religion in peace, yet this peace was gained with blood shed. Despite their earlier held peaceful nature, in the years of constant death, they warped their own delusional religion to a point where they saw it as a must to kill any and all who came too close to their distant little settlement and bury them deep in the woods so no one would find them. This was done in order to avoid word spreading about their location and more people coming by. And thus, the overly zealous yet peaceful 'cult-of-the-architect' was twisted and wrapped into more of a murderous syndicate that did all it could to avoid being discovered.

But violence only breeds violence, those who were killed and went missing had friends, and those friends came to seek them out. One after the other, until groups and whole expeditions came to look for the missing and once it was clear who was responsible for the killings a massive war in the sixth year of the fall fought. In all of their zealous xenophobic murder spree they had gained quite a few weapons and equipment to use in the fighting, but it wasn't enough to keep back multiple communities that found them out by spreading the word and uniting to destroy, in their eyes, murderous religious lunatics.

During a massive assault on their walls led by a one of the more civilized settlements they managed to get in the 'House of the Architect' settlement and what followed was far from civilized, massacre on both ends, just pure and brutal blood shed during which Omnia's mother was killed in the fighting and her father managed to ran away with her and few others - The house of the Architect was no more. Destroyed and looted by the various settlements that claimed revenge for their killed companions.

As it is in every community, not everyone sees the world as the larger group, and even though her mother was more on the zealous murderous type in the latter years of the wall, her father maintained a peaceful outlook of the life and did his best to try and pass that on to his beloved daughter. During her time in the cult settlement Omnia was trained in both their religious texts as well as the art of stealth and murder, for that was they way of getting rid of those passing by or stumbling on their settlement. And while she did kill a handful of people herself with her time with the cult, her father kept insisting on her not being a part of any of it, which resulted in a lot less 'tasks' to hunt wanderers near the walls, that task was later pushed onto other younger individuals. But even this darker part in her life resulted in relatively useful skills, skills of agility, speed, flexibility and stealth, as well significant skills with a blade, the best weapon for silent cold blooded murder.

Such a twisted latter part of her teen years and early adult hood led to multiple mental break downs. What didn't help was a genetic disorder, truly a victim of circumstance, an illness of the mind that warped her reality further than any cult could - Schizophrenia. By her 23rd birthday it started to show early symptoms of sensory hallucinations, distrust of others, mumbling to herself. Self isolation and lack of displayed emotions.

Year before the current date, after her father helped her with learning to survive on her own, he did pass due to a stroke. A sight that led her into yet another emotional breakdown that did not cope well with her illness and the lack of proper care for it. Yet despite this she managed to hold his love close to herself, and follow more into his steps, rather than the steps of her now long-dead overly zealous and militant mother. She saw self determination within the confines of her religion as the most important part "of the architect'' along with peace to those who mean no harm, in a sense, returning to the ways of their religion before it was corrupted by the fall of modern world.


NOTE: For proficients - This character is supposed to be skilled in the oral skills, one with a silver tongue. But their dirty past leads them to be highly capable of being one sneaky and agile bastard. Would it be possible to have the following skills set to 5 (or above if you're okay with that (pretty please?)) - Sprinting, lightfooted, nimble, sneaking? As well as bladed weapons to at least 3 or 4 given that was their weapon of choice for stealth reasons. That's all I need for skills!

Would you like your character to start with any items?
Could I pretty please have 5 to 10 journals with a pen or something? Due to religious nature of the character I recon I'll be doing a lot of writing. That's all I need.

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

What is your Discord username?
Duck#0874 but on discord my nick is ChaosTheory

Hey there, Jack here.

You're app is made very well and I have no outstanding issues with it.

In regards to your request for skills, I can look in to give you minor buffs in the requested areas but nothing higher then 3 levels in sprinting and this is only because of the mechanical implications.
