≫ 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
Maria Hernandez

I Agree
Yes

Has this character appeared in a previous lore?

Personality
Maria Hernandez is a pretty chilled out, relaxed woman with basic morals. She doesn't mind stealing or killing for the greater good, so long as there's a goal to that kind of thing.

Character Motivations
What motivates her is the desire to live and survive the never ending apocalypse, even when things seem dire and impossible. She's got a kind, soft heart and makes sure that the people around her are well fed, well treated.

Physical Appearance
She stands at around 5'10 with brownish hair, Latina tanned skin and brown eyes. She's got a pretty normal build in terms of her femininity and is a bit more well endowed in the torso region.

Biography
Maria Hernandez was born in New Jersey to a fairly poor, low income hispanic family. She didn't have many aims when growing up besides causing trouble, shoplifting and being a degenerate in general. Maria's school life didn't even exist, the family lacking the money to even get her to school never mind having her succeed at all. As the apocalypse hit, she stole a blue sedan across the street and drove straight into the heart of the action - where she lived in her vehicle for the longest time at the early age of fifteen. Always on the road, never in one place; Maria was a loner until she found herself a part of The Rats, a small group that thrived on survival and exiling outsiders. She picked up learning about cars by reading manuals on the road, bodge-repairing her sedan and doing her own, comprehensive learning.

Would you like your character to start with any items?
I would like a backpack, hopefully something with a high carrying capacity and weight reduction. My previous character died when I had a lot of items set up. Due to us three not being part of a group or a stable base, we were desperately hoping for us to start with a vehicle and some fuel to get us on our feet and established within the server limits.

Is your character a member of a group?
Yes

Is your character a member of one of the world factions?
No

Heya, Varen! I've reviewed your application and it's accepted!

Just something you should know: This far into the apocalypse, all gasoline has gone bad. You can still fuel cars by using biofuel, but one of you would need to know how to make it or you'll need to trade for it. Assume that the fuel in your starting vehicle is biofuel. None of the fuel in the cars around the world is usable unless it's player-owned.


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