The Player is the protagonist and player-controlled avatar in Grand Theft Auto: Gangland.
Name
The first step for new players is selecting the name of their Player. This name must include both a first and last name.
Players are free to operate under an alias, nickname, or entirely new identity. However, the character must still have a documented birth certificate on record, either real or forged depending on their Bio.
Players who choose to use their real-life first name as their avatar's first name can earn a small Legit Reward as a bonus. All names and nicknames are voiced.
Gender
Players can choose from three gender options:
| Male | Female | Other | |||||||||||||||||||
Gender significantly impacts gameplay, including physical appearance, attributes, interactions with the world, and how people and the environment respond to the player.
Players can earn a small Legit Reward if they select the gender matching their real-life identity.
