≫ 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.

Blood Type
I don't care, make it random

Personality
Kondiaronk is typically stoic and short on words. He generally dislikes and is suspect of anyone new to him or overly boisterous and friendly. For the few that gain his trust and friendship, he will show a more mild side, even though he is still sparse with his words.

Character Motivations
Kondiaronk's motivations are driven by an intense desire to survive. He is ruthless when it comes to taking from other survivors, but as he generally does not trust or like people, he works alone, picking his spots. He prefers getting the jump one on one or if he stumbles across an unguarded, or poorly guarded, settlement.

Physical Appearance
Height: 6'0"
Weight: 182 lbs.
Hair: Shaved bald except for a topknot on the dome of his head, which is typically splayed out and decorate with feathers.
Eyes: Dark Brown

Kondiaronk is relatively slim with lean muscle and a dark bronze skin. Adapting both his own heritage, and stealing a bit from others, he has shaved his head bald with the exception of a decorated top knot. During winter, he will wear furs and boots to keep warm. During warmer times, he prefers to wear less, consisting of deerskin shirts, pants and shoes, or even less, going shirtless with a loincloth and sandles.

At times, he will wear traditional Huron-Wyandot face paint, either black across his eyes and face in a rectangle or black from just under his nose down to the bottom of his neck.

When stalking someone or raiding a camp, he will wear the mask of Nayenezgani (see picture).

Biography
Kondiaronk (birthname Sam Cotter), was born to Wyandot-Huron parents in southern Ontario Canada, just outside of Quebec City. His parents were poor, but extremely hard workers, and Kondiaronk spent most of his time at school or wandering the rural area where his parents lived. As he hit puberty, he began to learn about his ancestry from his grandfather, who was a member of the nations historical and cultural council. Kondi was fascinated by the history, and was an eager learner.

However, before he could get too far into the culture his grandfather was trying to teach, the Oculurubrus pandemic hit. His grandfather and most of his town were ravaged quickly by the disease, leaving few survivors. His father managed to get him out of town, but was shot and killed by looters. Kondi fled the scene, and soon joined up with a group of men older than him, some ex-military, some outlaws. He was fortunate to be taken under their wing at a time when they were low on man-power.

Over the course of a few years, he learned several skills from the group of men to survive, and soon enough he was relied on as a comrade in arms, taking what they needed and moving on. His personality changed as he grew, becoming more stoic and reserved, watching as one member of his group after another either fled during hard times or betrayed them for their own benefit.

Eventually, he lost track of the group after they were set up and ambushed, but he didn't bother to look hard. To him, they were dead weight and not good enough to keep up with him anymore. Recalling his time spent with his grandfather, he returned to his town and was able to find bits and pieces of his nations lore at the burned husk of the towns cultural museum. Adapting what he could learn of his culture, he began to take on a persona that he could use to intimidate and strike fear into who he needed to. He took the name of Kondiaronk, one of the great chiefs of the Huron.

However, unknown to him, some of the documents he found were of other nations, including a picture of the mask used to represent Nayenezgani , the Slayer of Alien Gods. Regardless of origin, it suited his needs and returned to the wild, surviving and moving, until he reached Monroe County.
