≫ 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
Raven was born in 2001. She came from a long line a butchers. Her family owned and operated the Grade A Meats corporation located in Maine . So she grew up well off. She had three older brothers that always tortured her. She learned to be tough from having to deal with them all the time. As for school she was the quiet nerd that studied all the time. When she got into high school things charged. She filled out and became prettier, but that didn't stop her from being tough and smart. In her spare time she would work out and go for hikes to stay fit and strong. She had to stay that way in order to lift and move slabs of meat. She would set traps in the woods behind her house to catch small animals to practice on.

She had secrets as well. Her favorite color is red. The color of blood. It is such a rich color....and the way blood slides over your skin and is warm to the touch. Sometimes she enjoyed what she did more than the average person.

After high school is thing went to shit. She lost her mom and one of her brothers to the virus. She stuck with her dad but her other two brothers joined the military to help. Her father taught her more about butchering and how to trap animals better. That was how they survived. They moved from group to group helping people obtain food with our knowledge. Her father would even salt the meats for them to help preserved them longer. They found one group that had a bear trap. Even though the bear they caught from it was kinda small it still produced a large amount of meat. Her father even showed her how to skin to properly so that she could keep it as a jacket.

As she got older things got harder and groups became harsher. She was 27 when they were attacked by a vicious group of men while we were checking traps near our group. They were after our supplies. Being the tough person that she is she tried to protect her father. In the process one of the men swung a bat at her. As she dodged it the other guy caught her across the face with a knife. As her father ran to help her they grabbed our things and took off. Her father carried her back to the group and the doctor stitched it up but he wasn't able to save her eye. After that day she always wore a black face mask to cover most of the scar.

A year later she lost her father to a heart attack. She was alone now but continued to push ahead and stay alive. She pushed toward the edge of New York to find her next safe haven...

Hey there! I'm Fantasia and I'll be looking at your app today. :) Just real quick, everyone's allowed to start with only two items so please shorten down the list to two. Everything else looks just fine to me.
