≫ 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
prior to the apocalypse, Ronnie had been introduced to the dark underworld of bare knuckle boxing, He had come to be known as Tombstone. that was a long time ago. The next 14 years since the apocalypse were met with harsh decisions. regrettable decisions. Ronnie's not proud of the things he had done but they were done for his own survival. He'd been used to beating men unconscious but the first time he had killed someone, it had changed him. He had spent the last 10 years in solitary, avoiding people to avoid conflict... but food was become harder and harder, Ronnie knew he would have to start returning to the cities and towns if he wanted to keep surviving. Maybe the world's changed. Maybe people are living more than surviving now.

If Ronnie wanted to keep on going, He'd have to find out for himself.

Hey, Jack Bradshaw! My name is Pika and I'll be reviewing your application today.

Before we can go any further with the application process, I need to address the most glaring issue: You haven't read the lore. At least, there are no mentions of it in Jack's biography. But, luckily, you've already got a lot of great stuff down! You can easily add to what you've written so far. A few sentences will suffice, I just need to know that you've read the lore and a general idea of how Jack has fared this whole time. Note that we're ~14 years into the apocalypse now, so Jack would be 37 or 38. He could also have been younger at the start. Whichever you'd like to do. You can read the lore here.

And, just to clarify: would you like to be whitelisted as Jack Mcvitie, or The Hat?

Once you've made those additions, just reply to bump the thread and we can continue with the application process. Thanks!

Ah, quick update. I didn't realize Jack MvVitie was a real person. You're not allowed to play real people or existing fictional characters. You'll need to change your character for me to accept you. Sorry about that!

Hi Pika, just reading the law page, It's very small. Am i missing a link or something ?

"Thirteen years have passed since Oculurubrus, or Red Eye left our civilization rotting, our cities falling, and our very notion of life broken. We watched as vines and greenery consumed our mighty towers, as corpses inhabited our homes and entire countries went dark, but in some corners of the world, new civilizations began to thrive, new hopes and dreams formed - one such place in Monroe County, New York, a place divided by uneasy treaties, differing cultures, and secrets lying dormant under dirt and ruin.

You are one of many survivors, a wanderer, a mercenary, a raider, a hero, a villain, and this is your story of revelation and survival.

What will you become?"

That's all i can see?

That's the lore! It's short because this lore is a continuation of a previous lore we did, What We Become, back in April 2019 - September 2019. You can read the timeline of events for that lore here. It goes into detail about what happened at the very beginning of the outbreak. That lore ended a year into the apocalypse, so the next 12 years are purposely left vague as to allow you more creative freedom with your story.
