≫ 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
Billie J. Blackmore was frowned upon, turned away, and mocked by his family, friends, and colleagues. He was the "crazy conspiracy theorist" we all know and hear about. Prior to the event that damned us all, Blackmore was completely transfixed by online conspiracy forms, almost unhealthily, he'd spend hours browsing and conversing with like-minded individuals. This only convinced Blackmore that the end was nigh, and thus, he began taking steps to ensure that he would not let "them" ruin his life, take his freedom.

Blackmore put his house on the market and bought a piece of rural land in the boonies. With his life-savings, he built a small cabin out in the woods, beneath that? A make-shift, off the grid bunker with enough supplies to feed a small family for several years, a gym, a kitchen, a fully self-sufficient toilet system, and more.

He began working out, every single day he'd take himself on several long miles runs, eating his own grown fresh produce. His family heard very little at first, then nothing. Blackmore was set to live life like a nomad, even prior to the apocalypse. He loved every moment, the freedom, the silence, the lack of societal rules.

Then it happened... Blackmore sat in his truck and listened to the radio broadcast. A wry grin crept across his face, whilst his stomach filled with dread. "Wait, what? I was really right.. This is really happening..."

Hi again, Unhallow! 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. At least, there are no direct references to it in Billie's biography. Please work off of what you have currently and give a brief summary of how Billie has fared for the past 12 years and how he ended up in New York. You can read the lore here.

Also, you may only request two items. Please pick two from your list.

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

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

You're free to apply again with the same character if you'd like. Thanks!
