I only played 4 and 5.. So please bare with that ....

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

#1: PACKIE MCCREARY:


Here he is, the whole reason I started writing GTA stories in the first place. I just wanted to write something about Packie. But what I ended up creating instead is a still ongoing series with a huge cast of characters, and many different crossovers.. Packie almost always remains a important character. And his friendship with Dash Lucia, which also kick started the series, still remains as strong as ever.. Both of them still remain labeled as my longest running character..

My thoughts of the real Packie haven't changed. I actually get "sad" when I forget to use him in GTA5 heists. Or don't go drinking with him in GTA4.. Espically cause I love the voice actor..

God bless that "Danny boy."

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

#2: TREVOR PHLLIPS:


Love him or hate him, Trevor Phillips is Trevor Phillips. It's hard to ignore how contagious Steve Ogg's prefamance is, clearing having way to much fun with this. And making the character a fan favorite amongst the GTA crowd. And gained Stevey boy a few awards. And no doubt gained him huge popularity.

After he appeared on Walking dead as Simon, it did make me realize I actually really love this actor. On TV TROPES I even put "The fact Trevor Phillips is on Walking Dead" under awesoome.. And the fact he's playing a scene stealing, hammy psychopath under "hilarious in hindsight".

Amazingly, they even manage to make feel actually sorry for the guy. The more we get to know him. We begin to realize. Underneath the insanity, is a lonely man suffering abandonment issues..

------------------------------------------------------------------

#3: MICHAEL TOWNLEY:


I'm probably one of the few who prefers his real name over De Santa. But anyway.. Whatever happened to Ned Luke? I always loved his voice as Michael. I saw him Law and Order. But that about it..

Michael isn't always the most likable or even rational human being, espically compared to my stories.. But there's so much to like about him, that of "coarse" he gets a high rank..

Like Arthur Morgan he's a highly self hating cynic. So there's something to compare them with..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#4: JOHNNY KLEBITZ:


I'm still not 100% over his death.. But I do admit, it's very interesting a unqiue way to introduce Trevor's character... But that alone isn't even my only reason I hate the scene... Johnny became a broken shell of his formal self. Not even sure I can still call it Johnny.

Oh well. Always fun going back and playing as him. Between Scott Hill's voice and his badass lines, what's not to love...

So long biker boy...

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#5: NIKO BELLIC:


Niko is certainly a unique one.. GTA4 is generally more serious. And Niko is a PTSD suffering veteran who, despite being a generally nice guy. He is very terrifying in every other sense.

But he's a greatly beloved character. And remains high in most lists like this..

Unfortantely his story is one of the saddest ones of GTA. And there's a theory that the reason Liberty City is so dark and despressing is because, that's how Niko sees it.. If that true, it would mean Johnny is also depressed, as Luis's game sees Liberty City as bright and beautiful..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#6: LAMAR DAVIS:


Admittedly all things that are positives about Lamar, can also be negatives about Lamar. As he is also a complete moron. And quite whiny.

But he's still fun regardless. And I really get the sense his actor was having so much fun. Maybe improvised most lines..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#7: FRANKLIN CLINTON:


Admittedly the first time I played GTA5, Franklin was "okay". He was fun to play, but as character he was very bland and forgettable. It wasn't until the game broke and I eventually got it again, for Xbox 1 this time, that I finally gained respect for this man.. Why.. Because he really does seem like the "only decent human being in Los Santos".

Or least compared the people he gets involved in. Both in story and side-missions.. Things like that make you really love a character you use to be "indifferent" towards.. Well, at least for GTA it does..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#8: LUIS LOPEZ:


Same case as Franklin. When you compare him to Niko and Johnny.. Luis really strikes as the only normal one in Liberty City.. What really helps is the fact he's so friggin sarcastic. He really does lighten the mood compared to the dark and serious tones of Niko and Johnny..

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#9: ROMAN BELLIC:


I've been asking this for years..

Why does everyone hate Roman Bellic. Sure he's a little annoying, but he really does care about you, and is a really nice guy. He's the only characters I don't mind hanging out with (well him and my favorite character, Packie). Everyone loves to say he always call you go bowling. Funny thing is. He "never" asks me to go bowling, I have have ask 'him'. In fact he's the only character who never bitches at me for not calling them every 5 minutes. So I actually enjoy his company. He's always there for me.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

#10: STEVE HEINES:
Had to throw in a 10th character to complete the list, this was the first one I could think off. So went with that sorta logic.. I just like how sarcastic he is. And his voice actor two..
