≫ 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.

Personality
On her own for a couple years now, Calista is... less than graceful when it comes to social situations. She isn't always totally clear on wrong vs. right, and she frequently says insensitive things without meaning to. That said, she's very rarely malicious. Most of her dipshittery comes from a powerfully ingrained curiosity.

Character Motivations
As young as she is, Calista doesn't really know what sort of goals people have besides "don't get eaten" and "don't get shot." She likes the idea of being around others—decent people, preferably—but she's not always the best judge of character. Nor is she particularly good at ingratiating herself to strangers. She wants to be better, but she just isn't sure how.

Physical Appearance
Calista is an even five feet tall and weighs no more than 105 pounds. Sometimes less, depending on how much she's eaten in the last few weeks. Malnutrition has left her on the runty side of averages. She has short, messily cropped brown hair, grey eyes, and an intensely scrawny frame.

Biography
Calista was born four years before the world ended. She knows next to nothing about her parents, who died while she was just figuring out how to form lasting memories. She remembers snatches of sights and sounds, fuzzy faces that represent them in her memory. Over the course of the last 12ish years, Calista has bounced from group to group, occasionally taken care of by somebody decent enough to give a shit about a starving kid. When she doesn't have somebody taking care of her, she mostly resorts to theft to feed herself.

For now, Calista finds herself in the middle of the Barrens, considering entering Monroe. She hasn't been in a town of any significant size in weeks, and she's weighing the pros and cons of trying to steal some food from them.
