Grand Theft Auto V features three playable [[protagonist]]s, a first for the GTA series: [[Michael De Santa]], [[Franklin Clinton]] and [[Trevor Philips]], with the player able to swap between the three when not on certain missions or [[Wanted Level in GTA V|wanted]] by the [[LSPD in GTA V|police]]. Certain missions involve two or all three protagonists, allowing the player to switch between them to assist in completing the mission. One mission also allows the player to swap to [[Chop]], a Rottweiler dog owned by [[Lamar Davis]] but looked after by Franklin. The three protagonists have their own lives and, when not chosen, continue with their daily routines, occasionally resulting in the player continuing the activity. | Grand Theft Auto V features three playable [[protagonist]]s, a first for the GTA series: [[Michael De Santa]], [[Franklin Clinton]] and [[Trevor Philips]], with the player able to swap between the three when not on certain missions or [[Wanted Level in GTA V|wanted]] by the [[LSPD in GTA V|police]].

Some storyline missions, side missions and hobbies will only be available to a specific character while random encounters can be encountered and completed by any protagonist. The player can also customise each character beyond their initial appearance through buying clothes, changing hairstyles, getting tattoos and enhancing certain abilities such as stamina, driving skill or flying skill. Each protagonist also has a special ability, which can be triggered during gameplay: Michael can slow down time while on foot, Franklin can slow down time while driving and Trevor can become angry, dealing out more damage and taking little in return. | Some storyline missions, side missions and hobbies will only be available to a specific character while random encounters can be encountered and completed by any protagonist.

The player can explore the entire map from the beginning of the game, although certain areas ([[Fort Zancudo]], [[Los Santos International Airport in GTA V|Los Santos International Airport]] and [[Bolingbroke Penitentiary]]), result in a wanted level being given to the player. GTA V also includes a fully explorable [[Pacific Ocean|ocean]] floor, which can be explored by swimming underwater, scuba diving or in a submarine. Animals also roam across Blaine County and the surrounding Pacific Ocean with some (such as mountain lions and sharks) being prepared to hunt and kill the player character. | ||
