≫ 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
Ovid Krones had been on a vacation from his job as a carpenter. This being a rare occasion took his family with him to see New York city. The trip had been going well until the news channels had talked about sighting of sick individuals roaming the country. Ovid though nothing of this and tried to focus on his trip. At the end of his vacation he tried to drive his family back to Tennessee but the roads where so backed up he couldn't even get 10 miles out of New York. Where could he go? The airports where shutdown and the news stations went quiet. Ovid was homeless for something he had no idea was going on. When the food started running out the riots happened. They burned everything including his car his family had been living in. "It wasn't fair he thought. What is happening and why can't i go home?" He and his family had been living on the streets for 3 months and then they finally came. What could he even describe them as? Shambling people hungry for forbidden flesh. 3 years, 3 years is how long he could protect his wife Julia and his son parker. His selfishness caused him to let them die. Torn apart my the devil himself. Through the past twelve years he has wandered through communities in New York, like a ghost watching them be overrun inevitably. Oivd could usually help settlements by building places people could feel safe and that's all he wants. He wants to feel safe, he wants to be at peace with himself.

Hi again, Banana Runt! 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 Ovid's biography. Please work off of what you have currently and give a brief summary of how Ovid has fared for the past 12 years and how he ended up in New York. You can read the lore here.

Additionally, his age doesn't match up with the lore. Specifically, you say he's worked as a park ranger for most of his life. He would have been 22 or 23 at the start of the apocalypse. Please either adjust your backstory or Ovid's age to work with the lore.

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