The three characters that players can switch between in GTA V consist of Trevor, Michael, and Franklin. Trevor is a drug-addicted psychopath who has no hesitation in murdering someone for the slightest thing, which means you will likely find him engaging in some extremely odd or destructive behavior when you are switching to him.

Franklin begins the game as a low-level street criminal who quickly ascends higher in the criminal underworld after meeting Michael and Trevor. Michael is a family man who has lost all passion and motivation after faking his death and starting a new life that can be found lying around drunk at his house.
