≫ 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
Will Taylor

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
Yes

Age
34

Blood Type
A-

Personality
Will is headstrong man in his mid thirties. Having supported a family for nearly a decade has taken a toll on him and his personality has become rather subdued. He prefers tinkering by himself to interacting with crowds, save for when he drinks. Which he does often. As far as his morals go, he's in it to win it for his little family- whether that's in the cutthroat world of contracting or the end of human life, though he abhors killing.

Character Motivations
Driven by a desire to protect what is his, Will seeks safety and security for those close to him by any means necessary.

Physical Appearance
A grizzled working man in his early thirties, perpetually sunburnt and weathered before his time. Usually dresses in blue denim overalls. His brown hair is swiftly taking on an early grey, and his blue eyes are set wide in even, yet admittedly rugged features.

Handyman

Biography
Willy grew up in upstate New York. His father had a good job. Jack Taylor yelled at people on the phone, and sometimes flew place to place to yell at people in person. This afforded the Taylor family a rather middle class life, which Will took little advantage of. An unruly youth who soon grew into an unruly young man, he found himself without prospects after highschool. On a whim he started a handyman business, and became as successful as a blossoming alcoholic can be. Married the girl next door, blah blah, two and a half kids, the story repeats itself in every suburb across America. Until the world went to hell, and Willy lost everything. Forced to flee for his life, he's been struggling on his own for a time now, holding onto the desperate final hope that his dear wife and children somehow, somewhere, are alive.

Welcome back, Bobith! The app looks fine, consider yourself approved. Just a quick note though so you're aware going in; we're twelve years into the apocalypse.
