Your GTAIV Character!

Update: This thread originally started as a way to select characters for upcoming campaigns. We will still use it if any campaigns are in development, but otherwise it will probably just serve as a general roleplay character thread.

Occupation:
Physical Characteristics:
Backstory/Additional Info: (a little information about your character, maybe what island your from, once again be realistic.)

UPDATE: Be realistic. Realism means the real world. I never knew that there were so many hitmen running around. Your character is not a super hero, he is a just the average joe, maybe even with a little experience. The way you show this is, for example, dont tell me your fast food worker is somehow amazing with a rifle, tell me you hunt in your spare time.

These two were going to face off in the biggest championship of all time, but Jake faked a pregame interveiw in an empty stadium. When Russle arrived he found himself surrounded by other hot dog eaters he had crushed the lives of. You can guess what twenty angry obese guys can do.

Everybody's characters that i have not deleted so far are pretty good. One thing though, pretty much everybody has mentioned that their character is a great pilot.

much better. Dont get me wrong, i dont mean make your character boring as hell, i just mean that you shouldnt be a gang leader, maybe just a small time criminal, and not a hitman, maybe you are a serial killer or something.

is mine realistic? it seems a little realistic.

yea yours is fine, except for the part about being a good pilot, your a biker, you dont even know how to spell helicopter. the hells angels part is a little farfetched, it would have been fine if you just said you were a biker. everything else is fine tho. Also remmeber that however you say you look, im talking about how you look in GTA, so you better be able to recreate in it the game.

Not at all, biker gangs are with bikes they do not ever use helicopters...and a specilist? Maybe just ok at using guns but i doubt specilist, talking about ops there...

dog the bounty hunter was a member of the hells angels, thats where i got the idea.......

dont you have to go to driving school to get your license?
