≫ 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
Annabelle is very reserved, quiet, and private. She doesn't like others and usually keeps to herself most of the time. She lives in the woods mostly isolated and rarely interacts with others save for other members of Brighton through her radio. A mysterious figure and a woman almost relatively unknown to all but the highest of ranking Brighton Members, Annabelle's face is unknown to anyone about. It was during the early ages of the internet that she met Osiris, or as she'd better know him as Ezra. He was one of the only people she felt she could be herself with, truly.

Even now, twelve years into the apocalypse, Annabelle has trouble connecting with others. She especially hates any sort of loud or obnoxious people as well as anyone getting anywhere -near- her personal space. She will not hesitate to hit someone. Her emotions can sometimes be explosive even if she doesn't mean for them to get out of control and may at times seem less mature than one might expect of a woman nearing thirty.

Character Motivations
Annabelle's motivations are unknown right now to most. She usually does help out Brighton members though and provides her poisons to them in exchange for the area around her home kept safe. She is her number one priority, staying alive and hoping until maybe someday she can meet Ezra and see him face to face. She has never stopped hoping he'd find her and every now and then she goes to her former home in order to try and see if he stops by her former home.

Physical Appearance
Annabelle is about 5'4", has porcelain skin, and jet black, curly hair. She's usually dressed in clothing she's made herself, dyed black and giving her the appearance of the 'Witch of the Wilds' which is the nickname travelers of the woods call her. She even wears these strange clothes outside of her home and nearer to civilization. Her build is athletic though she is not super strong.

Biography
Originally named Annabelle, Hannah was born in Upstate New York and lived a very comfortable life. Her parents made sure she never wanted for anything and as a young girl, even had her own computer in her room and everything she could ever ask for. She was always very different from her other siblings, though. Very private, quiet, and more focused and fascinated with reptiles, insects, and dinosaurs, so much so it could be considered an unhealthy obsession. It wasn't until she was about twelve that her parents finally got her diagnosed and realized she had Asperger's and was on the spectrum. It didn't help either that, around this time, she'd discovered she had been adopted at a young age by said parents and had never been told about her adoption.

More and more she felt isolated and estranged from her family until it got to the point where she didn't socialize with them at all. The only person that would ever even hear a peep out of her was her best and most loyal online friend, Ezra. In those dark days of having herself and cutting herself off from her family in terms of relationships, Ezra was the light in the darkness for her and they grew to be incredibly close friends until finally, their friendship blossomed into a love for one another.

As she grew older, Annabelle began saving money from all the gifts she got for her birthday and Christmas, intending to use that money to fly out and live with Ezra once she turned 18 and applied for university. She would always gush about it to him, telling him of all she planned to do and wanted to see when she got there... however that was not meant to be. The world collapsed before they got the chance to ever meet each other, Hannah only being able to get out one message for Ezra to come find her before the internet cut.

Since that, Hannah lived with her parents for a few years still in their manor until it just became too dangerous for them to live in their homes. She and her parents were traveling across the Barrens for a while but the toll of the road and the danger of the Red Eyes took both parents from her and two of her younger siblings. The older ones simply left her to rot in the middle of the Barrens one night. She's been on her own since then and has taken to using her real name Annabelle; the only person knowing said name that was still alive being Ezra.

She has taken her fascination with insects and reptiles since then to the point where she specializes in taking care of various species and extracting their venom to use on traps that protect her home and other various things.

Would you like your character to start with any items?
A shack in the woods modestly stocks with supplies (low food but stuff for crafting like herbalism) and a Fine Alice Pack.

Would you like your character to start with any skills?
The following skills are to reflect who she is as a person and her skill set as someone who has to be self-sufficient out in the woods surviving nearly on her own.

Maintenance (Blade): 10
Accuracy (Blade):10
Foraging: 10
Farming: 8
Cooking: 10
Fishing: 7
Trapping: 10
First Aid: 8
Aiming: 8

Fitness: 8
Strength: 6
Carpentry: 10 (This is not a reflection of her being a master architect or carpenter, but to be able to make various in-game items necessary for certain things. As the Undeniable site is down right now, I don't know what all those items are and what's needed but if I don't need this much, she can always be remade.)

Also Dexterous, Organized, and Keen Hearing. (Yes, I'm needy.)

Is your character a member of a group?
Yes

Is your character a member of one of the world factions?
Brighton

Please detail your position within the faction, as well as your reason for being in The Barrens.
Annabelle is simply known as the Witch of the Wilds to those of the faction. She's known for being an expert in animal care and poison extraction from reptiles as well as insects. Should certain poisons be requested by Brighton, they never go to anyone but Annabelle. She is a close ally to Brighton and has helped them out in this regard for many years in exchange for her home being protected by them.
