Rockstar’s official synopsis is the starting point: Vice City, USA. Jason and Lucia have always known the deck is stacked against them. When an easy score goes wrong, they end up on “the darkest side of the sunniest place in America,” inside a criminal conspiracy that stretches across the state of Leonida, and they have to rely on each other more than ever if they want to get out alive.
The bios below are condensed from Rockstar’s official character pages and from the official-site text issued with Trailer 2. For the full wording, read Jason and Lucia on Rockstar’s site. This page does not add leaked or fan-cast characters.
Jason Duval
Jason, Rockstar writes, wants an easy life, “but things just keep getting harder.” He grew up around grifters and crooks, spent a stint in the Army trying to shake off a troubled teens, and then found himself in the Keys doing what he already knew: working for local drug runners. “It might be time to try something new.”
Official line: “If anything happens, I’m right behind you. Another day in paradise, right?” Meeting Lucia, the official text says, could be the best or worst thing that has ever happened to him — he knows how he would like it to turn out, “but right now, it’s hard to tell.”
Lucia Caminos
Lucia’s father taught her to fight as soon as she could walk. Life has been coming at her swinging ever since. Fighting for her family landed her in the Leonida Penitentiary; “sheer luck” got her out. She has decided that only smart moves come next.
Her mother has dreamed of the good life since their days in Liberty City. Lucia wants that life, and she intends to take matters into her own hands. Official line: “The only thing that matters is who you know and what you got.” Fresh out of prison, she is committed to her plan. “A life with Jason could be her way out.”
Supporting people Rockstar has introduced
Cal Hampton is described as Jason’s friend and a fellow associate of Brian’s. He feels safest hanging at home, “snooping on Coast Guard comms with a few beers and some private browser tabs open.” Official line: “There are way too many birds flying around in perfect formation.” The official text places him at “the low tide of America,” happy there, while Jason has bigger plans.
Boobie Ike is “a local Vice City legend — and acts like it.” Rockstar says he is one of the few to turn time in the streets into a legitimate empire that spans real estate, a strip club, and a recording studio. Official line: “The club money pay for the studio, and the drug money pay for it all.” The partnership the official text highlights is with Dre’Quan on Only Raw Records.
Dre’Quan Priest is framed as more of a hustler than a gangster, with breaking into music as the goal even when he was dealing to make ends meet. Official line: “Dancers are like my A&Rs. If the record’s a hit, DJs gonna be spinnin’ it.” He has signed Real Dimez and is aiming at the Vice City scene.
Real Dimez are Bae-Luxe and Roxy, friends since high school, who turned a talent for shaking down local dealers into rap tracks and a heavy social media presence. Official line: “All my dimes in this club. Meet my twin, make it a dub.” An early hit with local rapper DWNPLY took them up; after five years and “a whole lot of trouble,” they are signed to Only Raw Records.
Raul Bautista is a seasoned bank robber “always on the hunt for talent ready to take the risks that bring the biggest rewards.” Official line: “Life is full of surprises, my friend. I think we’d all be wise to remember that.” The official text warns that his recklessness raises the stakes with every score.
Brian Heder is “a classic drug runner from the golden age of smuggling in the Keys,” still moving product through his boat yard with his third wife, Lori. Official line: “I hauled so much grass in that plane, I could make the state of Leonida levitate.” The official text says he looks like a Leonida beach bum and moves like a great white shark — and that Jason is living rent-free at one of Brian’s properties, so long as he helps with local shakedowns and stops by for Lori’s sangria.
