Ah bro no worries, I had that hairline at 19. Turning 26 in 2 months and I don't wanna talk about it.

My hairline getting messed up at 18 too, Gonna clean shave it if it goes any more back

Jul 28 '22
For me it pretty much stopped receding at the temples when I was 21. Recently decided to keep my hair short between 0,5/0,7inches with a low skin fade to get my self more accustomed to what’s coming for me eventually. Looks good.

u/dirty-lettuce Jul 28 '22
My hairline was like the last pic in op when I was 19. I just grow my hair with a bit of length on top now and it hides it a bit better

And Trevor named him Johnny, probably.
Would always send him new boots for his bday.

u/wojtekpolska Jul 28 '22
well that is kinda the lore isn't it?
your character flies to LS on a plane, and im pretty sure Lamar says sth that the player is from Europe?

That would be disappointing, I have my own head cannon about where my character came from.

u/ayyLumao Jul 28 '22
PS5/Series X characters might not have flown to LS on a plane, since in those versions you start by getting out of the police station.

Did the same every 100 lvl starting at 250.

Every full 100 lvl I get a new full back tat as a celebration.

I’m excited to see his progress when we’re still playing GTA5 online on the Xbox Project 1080 or whatever the new next-gen is called.
Fully bald with a gut and riding an Oppressor 3, the new rocket-powered mobility scooter?

This is a military veteran, from enlistment, to 2 ex wives (one being a stripper) to crippling debt, alimony, and child support on 3 kids.
Pretty sure there's a bottle of alcohol out of frame that he bubbles to numb the internal suffering.

Great constrast to the actual playerbase mate.
Love the fact that he was happy in the first next-gen release, but after that, it all fell apart as he grew more and more depressed with each new re-release of the same old game

My character is still the same, but he had the joker face since the made it available in game. It's not that visible though. But he looks Grey and old in the face.

That's actually a neat idea. Mine became more...I guess mature looking over time? He's a dude that used to look like a stoner frat boy, had blonde dreadlocks etc, looked like he was taking drugs. Then for PS4 I toned it down and now he looks pretty healthy and well adjusted (all things considered).

I've tried to edit my character a couple times on Xbox Series S but nothing happens. I'm unable to edit my character whatsoever. I just lose 100k and get booted back to the world. GTA scammed me close to a million with this bug.

So given his progress I imagine you will be playing as a coffin or gravestone on the Xbox Series X MK 2? lol.
But lowkey I kinda wish I did this as I transitioned from 360 to XSX

I admire your dedication to doing that. And also somewhat sad that the game has existed long enough for your character to age so badly 😂

I made mine look like he was becoming a professional criminal while I was leveling up, I started with the orange pants and all that, then went to a leather jacket and jeans (kinda biker lol) to a blue hoodie and the green hacker hockey mask and now I'm using one of the professional stealth outfits from the casino heist, looks pretty nice, from time to time I switching between the hoodie and the stealth one, kinda like rp, driving and all that with the casual outfit and preps with the stealth outfit, feels nice

I honestly never got a console change, but I’ve been playing for ages. I decided a few weeks ago to stop cosplaying different characters (not stopping, have the ultimate change coming soon), and made my character look old. I’ve completed all the heists as a leader (minus casino), and I’m an experienced veteran in the art of war. Once a street kid, now a sad man who wastes money on US government vehicles and tech. Best backstory ever. Glad people change their character this way too!
