≫ 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.

Jon is a 48-year-old army veteran and the de facto leader of a small survivor group based out of the countryside near Jubilee, Texas a church near Joan's Hollow. Formerly stationed at Fort Sam Houston as a 68W AIT Instructor, Jon's tenure in the army includes two other jobs (68W and 18D), multiple duty stations and countless deployments to the Middle East. He speaks and reads Spanish, Urdu, Pashto and Dari in addition to English. Physically, he is tall and lean, strong but willowy, broad shoulders aside. If he has/had pets, family or a significant other, he has not mentioned them.

TALES FROM THE BRUSH
On June 7th, 2019, Jon—alongside Rafael Garcia, Jack Miller, Max Rutherford, and Santiago and Jonah Alvarez—survived a bloody firefight in the Joan's Hollow town hall. The shootout was initiated by self-proclaimed National Guardsmen, though the veracity of that claim is suspect, at the very least. Jon personally killed two of the men, and four more were killed by his compatriots. Neither Jon nor any of his friends were mortally wounded, though both he and Jack Miller were shot during the fight.
On June 12th, 2019, Jon—alongside Max Rutherford and Jacqueline Garcia—helped a lost young woman, Taylor, look for her baby sister. Jon found the girl, but she had already been bitten and turned into a zombie. He put her out of her misery and brought her to Taylor... who then took her own life, despite Jon, Max and Jacqueline's attempts to stop her. After sending Max and Jacqueline home, Jon spent several hours digging two six-foot graves and buried the girls side by side in a wide, empty field. He left a locket containing a family photograph on Taylor's chest.
