Random Characters[1] are side-missions for multiple characters in The Ballad of Gay Tony, often providing the player with a small bonus mission or objective.
Description[]
Their presence is indicated by a small blue person icon, either male 
or female 
, when within close proximity to the player. Upon unlocking the random character's mission, their location will appear on the minimap represented by a white person icon 
.
They provide Luis Fernando Lopez with small missions. They generally are in some problem and will ask for help.
Unlike Grand Theft Auto IV and The Lost and Damned, the player will not miss any of the Random Character missions due to their choices during the main storyline missions, and they are all required for 100% Completion.
After completing a first encounter, the player must wait from several in-game days to a week to trigger the second encounter (if available). To fast-forward in-game time, the player may use a safehouse and save the game multiple times.
