≫ 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
Anastasia Dragunov

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
No

Age
30

Blood Type
B+

Personality
Because of her environment as a child and the roles her family members fell into, she has developed a habit of needing to step in when people need aid which usually ends up getting her in to more trouble than anything. As society began to break down further she became more and more withdrawn, choosing a life of solitude in these trying times. Callous to most people she encounters, there is a very slim chance she would actually choose to be open towards her fellow survivors, being hesitant to joining large groups but not fully opposed to the idea. She has bared witness to what chaos can do to some and how no stability can result in people being at each others throat if pushed, but once she finds someone that she truly trust this harden shell begins to weaken and she will cling to that person as sort of an anchor.

Character Motivations
Their goal is to try and help the last shreds of society and humanity survive... just enough for it to hopefully begin to reconnect and build up again. Her father was her inspiration, hearing the tales of his service to the army. And her brother, hearing about the chaos that happened when the outbreak first started spreading before losing contact with him. She hopes that by some chance he made it.

Physical Appearance
Fair skin with a small scar on her right cheek from an accident that occurred when she was 16, and another scar located near her left shoulder area that is faint but visible that came from a hunting accident when she was 14. Wild, slightly lower back-length, dark brown hair, Blue eyes and a slight Russian Accent. Approximately 135lbs and 5'7".

Biography
From her father and mother's time in the military and watching her brother leave for medical school, this pushed Stasia into looking to joining the police force as a past injury has left her without the choice of joining the military. In her earlier years of life she loved the hunts that she accompanied her father and brother on during the winter, despite a hunting accident happening when she was 14 and leaving her left arm weaker than her right. She was very close to her family, being saddened when her older brother left for medical school and keeping in touch with him when possible with his busy schedule. As time progress and just being a fresh graduate of the class of 2016, things began to take a turn in life when the outbreak started. Her dreams of joining her desired work force began to crumble just as society was around her, losing contact with her sibling and rushing home to a dead father and an infected mother. Twelve years have passed and she has managed to make it this far, sticking with groups from time to time but mainly remaining to herself. The mementos of her family she took and kept with her all these years was her father's military jacket and a hunting knife her brother had gifted her.

Just one quick thing — there is no Military Urban Camo Shirt in Build 40 or Hydrocraft, so I won't be able to give you that. Is there another item you'd like instead?

If you have any questions, feel free to reply and ask. Thanks!

If there is a military jacket of sorts that would work. Otherwise a normal hiking back would do! Thank you again.

There is one, I can also rename it to fit what you're wanting, though it will not visually look any different.
