<P> The single - player mode lets players control three characters: Michael De Santa, Trevor Philips and Franklin Clinton--criminals whose stories interconnect as they complete missions . Some missions are completed with only one character and others feature two or three . Outside the missions, players may switch between characters at will by means of a directional compass on the HUD . The game may switch characters automatically during missions to complete certain objectives . A character's compass avatar will flash red if he is in danger and needs help, and flash white if he has a strategic advantage . Though players complete missions as any of the three protagonists, the more difficult heist missions require aid from AI - controlled accomplices with unique skill sets like computer hacking and driving . If an accomplice survives a successful heist, they take a cut from the cash reward and may be available for later missions with improvements to their unique skills . There are multiple options for completing heists; in a holdup mission, players may either stealthily subdue civilians with an incapacitating agent or conspicuously storm the venue with guns drawn . </P> <P> Each character has a set of eight skills that represent their ability in certain areas such as shooting and driving . Though skills improve through play, each character has a skill with expertise by default (i.e. Trevor's flying skill). The eighth "special" skill determines the effectiveness in performing an ability that is unique to each respective character . Michael enters bullet time in combat, Franklin slows down time while driving, and Trevor deals twice as much damage to enemies while taking half as much in combat . A meter on each character's HUD depletes when an ability is being used and regenerates when players perform skilful actions (for example, drifting in vehicles as Franklin or performing headshots as Michael). </P> <P> While free roaming the game world, players may engage in context - specific activities such as scuba diving underwater or BASE jumping via parachute . Each character has a smartphone for contacting friends, starting activities and accessing an in - game Internet . The Internet lets players trade in stocks via a stock market . Players may purchase properties such as garages and businesses, upgrade the weapons and vehicles in each character's arsenal, and customise their appearance by purchasing outfits, haircuts and tattoos . </P> <P> Michael Townley, Trevor Philips, and Brad Snider partake in a botched robbery in Ludendorff, North Yankton . Nine years later, Michael is living under witness protection with his family in Los Santos, under the alias Michael De Santa . Across town, gangbanger Franklin Clinton is working for a corrupt Armenian car salesman and meets Michael while attempting to fraudulently repossess his son's car; the two later become friends . When Michael finds his wife Amanda sleeping with her tennis coach, he and Franklin chase the coach to a mansion, which Michael destroys in anger . The owner turns out to be the girlfriend of Martin Madrazo, a Mexican drug lord who demands compensation to avoid further violence . Michael returns to a life of crime to obtain the money, enlisting Franklin as an accomplice . With the help of Michael's old friend Lester, a crippled hacker, they perform a jewellery shop heist to pay off the debt . Trevor, who now lives in a trailer park on the outskirts of Los Santos and believes Michael was killed in their failed robbery, hears of the heist and realises that it was Michael's handiwork; Trevor surprises Michael and reunites with him after tracking down his home . </P>
