≫ 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
Adalbert Von Streganhoff

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?
Yes

Age
31

Blood Type
AB Negative

Personality
Agressive, Disciplined, and a temper. Streganhoff presents himself as the picture perfect man- Unflinching, calculated, and determined, yet this hides a deeper anger and rage that begs to lash out, much to the man's own chagrin. He does not take umbrage to other people's lack, regardless of what he actually says, but foolishness that puts the objective, or others at risk because you couldn't keep your mouth shut is worthy of his wrath.

Character Motivations
Streganhoff prefers a quieter life, one marked by ranch fields and cities far, far away. If it comes down to it, the'll homestead themselves in the new world- What ever it takes to obtain just a simple life. Anyone whom tries to infringe on that is asking for trouble.

Physical Appearance
Light brown hair, side burns going down the sides of his face to form mutton chops, complimenting a rather impressivly sharp jawline. High cheek bones, and a somewhat fat nose, flanked by two light blue eyes. He's stocky, wide and heavy shoulders with a fit chest, certainly someone whom exercises on the regular.

Biography
Streganhoff's youth was spent in the town of Hodgenville, and was no stranger to farms and field work. He used up a considerable amount of his time in helping his family maintain the farm, though he took a shine to workshop work rather than field work, even taking classes through middle and high school in carpentry and maintenance.

An unyielding focus in these studies brought about a certain calm in Adalbert, but also distanced himself from his peers. He prefered working on his 'own thing', and rarely asked for help, or opinions on his work. It paid off certainly in his craft, but at the cost of his standing with those around him.

Growing up saw him go into business with his brother in refurbishing and repairing housing and furniture, heading out to the local homes and farms to assist in repairing tools, redoing decks, and sorting out building damage. This business was actually slated to move towards the Winchester area, east of Lexington where a wider customer base could be reached, along with a new home to be bought- Just a week before Mandatory Evacuation orders came down on them.

The years since had not been kind to Streganhoff. The first maddening months stripped away what ever notion he had of homestead in the outskirts, and turned the man into a roamer. An already bitter and quiet attitude was trained into a further silence, where travel required peak attention at all times, as the slightest mistake could of course spell doom. Run ins with others of the still living often resulted in things going wrong, not helped by his own bitter, sour demeanor.

The man has taken to an almost incredible rage to the undead, but not every corpse he had left behind was lifeless in the first place. A testament to his earlier mentioned 'encounters gone wrong'.

Continued travel eastward finally brings him into the area surrounding New York...
