I'm bored af rn and I've got a hankering for that sweet, sweet GTA5RP roleplay (RELEASE DATE WHEN ALEX, I'M STILL WAITING FOR MY CURRENT AFFAIRS EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW) and I figured "why not start a thread for discussing character ideas", so we could voice some of the character concepts we've got. I think it ought to be fun and we can discuss shit and maybe if some of us are going for similar shit then we could probably talk to each other and get some plans going for when it releases.

I suppose I'll start;

1. Hugh Chunt - those of you who played in the playtest probably met him already. Reporter for Current Affairs, a local news station/tabloid. Typical sleazebag reporter type, happy to do whatever it takes to get the inside scoop. Plays all the sides and sells his stories to the highest bidder. His name is literally "You/Huge Cunt" after all.

2. The Raven. A couple people ran into him on the first day of the Playtest, the leader of a local bird related cult new age faith who is TOTALLY NOT A SERIAL KILLER STOP TALKING. I think it'll be fun to play as this creepy, esoteric guy while trying to perform ordinary jobs that completely contrast with him. Like imagine walking into burger shot and just hearing the creepiest guy dressed up in weird garb say "welcome to burgershot can i take your order".

3. Mortimer 'Mortie' Gaunt. Elderly homeless man that suffers with jaundice. Plan is to rely purely on growing stuff/fishing/hunting to survive, probably high on mushrooms. Gonna get him an old camper van that he calls the 'All-In-One'. Ironically when I went to go test my PC to see if it could run GTA5RP and I joined a random server I made him then, and this was the prototype:

5. Joseph 'Mother' Wakefield. Drag Queen character I made in HL2RP brought to sunny Los Santos. I hope to get a bar somewhere, that I can run and be that 'washed up performer that now runs some hinky dink titty bar' kinda vibe.

6. Dr. Dave Lively. Doctor, nurse, paramedic, whatever at the hospital. English expat now saving lives in Los Santos. A jolly fellow, constantly laughing, takes happiness in everything. An absolute chad.

That's about it for my ideas so far, what about y'all? What've you got rattling around inside your heads?

Not a character idea but more so a general concept idea, there defo needs to be an underground brutal bare knuckle secret fight club around like from the movie Fight Club (1999) I think that would be sick

Well, I don't really have the specific NAMES thought up, so I'm just going to be using some randomly generated names. I will likely only be able to play one or two of these characters though, since I'm gonna be working full time shift work very soon, so who knows how often I'll get to play

Bryn Jekyll - Your local, sleezy business type on the surface. Operating some kind of 'accounting' or 'insurance' agency on the surface as a bit of a front, but the MAIN service is as the head of a small PMC that focuses on VIP extract from gunfights (however could also be hired for more direct action stuff).

Phoenix Rowe - A more extreme version of the above guy, some old grizzlied fucker who runs a local milita group. Holed up around the mountains and knocking heads with local law enforcement quite a lot in defending "his/his group's" lands. Probably mostly doing gun running to make money, and probably smoking a LOOOOT of "herbal remedies"

Onyx Clarke - Mr Police Officer, Doing Mr Police Officer things. This is the one that I want to do purely as a gameplay thing, definitely starting out as an overeager rookie and then, depending on what happens to him - either being a jolly ol copper or just become super disenchanted.

Chris Oliynyk - Just some random, odd job doing character that just sort of tags along with other peoples things. The generic criminal that can be played for some fun of trying the new mechanics (Robbing banks, holding people up, drug growing, all that). This more generic person will probably be my first character, if for no other reason than to get to grips with the server, and can easily turn into a character more like Byrn later on in the character's life.

i've so far had no significant arcs (yet) but i'm pretty happy with my good old Majerus, who I've played a little less as I've done lots of roleplay with Mercado on my other character, Woodman. Super fun, I'm the epitome of a proper Goon and it's funny as fuck and epic too
