≫ 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.

Yarah wishes to help others, even at the sacrifice of herself - this typically spills into her work where she'll devout hours in order to get ahead of the curb. She is an ambitious, and is driven to do better in order to beat those around her. Yarah wishes to eventually practice Emergency Medicine - specializing as a Trauma Physician.

Later:

Biography
Introduced to the world, in a small town within the state of Pennsylvania, on March 13th 1987, a Friday. Yarah's birth was not ominous, nor was it any different to the ones that occurred a day before and ones that would occur a day after. It was just a normal day. She was a part of a second-generation immigrant family - hailing from Yemen. Her grandparents escaped the Civil War through seeking asylum in the United States of America

Her life would go on, relatively normal, until the age of sixteen. Yarah and her parents were en route to a vacation within Turkey - before Turkish Airlines Flight 634 crashed. Herself and her mother survived the crash, with Yarah walking away with only two major injuries. The next few years of her life is dedicated to recovering but also to continue her education. Yarah finishes her High School career at 19 years old, in June of 2006.

She goes on to be accepted for her internship at the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania. She completes the internship, and moves to Louisville Kentucky after being accepted for her residency. She remains here for the next few years of her life, and this is where she learns of the virus.

Later:
During the initial evacuation, she remained behind working on her patients - eventually the Hospital she worked at being overrun by those infected. She fled north, sticking to isolated communities - eventually finding her way in the apocalypse as a Doctor. She travelled widely across the States, eventually returning to Kentucky.
