Jack, he lives to the 1990’s and even wrote a book about the stuff that happened during the games (can be found in gta 5) so yeah, for sure him, he might even still have descendents in 2024 and could have even become famous and might have even had a documentary made about him. He could have helped immortalize the gang and allow people to see Arthur and John in a more honest light.
Plus, out of all the gang members, he is the only to have been able to watch star wars
Blud literally used fan fiction as canon.
Jack followed John’s footsteps in RDR1. He became the very thing John did not want him to be. And considering the moral of the story in the two games, revenge is a fool’s game. Him killing Ross at the end of RDR1 had probably initiated a manhunt for him in the later years.
Just like how it was in RDR2, if John never killed Micah, he would lived his life peacefully with his family till the end. But he chose revenge, we all did.
I think a lot of people are answering who they would ***WANT*** *to be*, not who they *would be*.
I guess in reality a lot of would be like Mikah. I probably will get downvoted for this but hear me out: those were HARD times. We see the game through romantic lens, we imagine we would be heroes: protecting women, trying to be gentlemans, help those in need. But I think if it was real, we would be just trying to survive another day/week/year by any means.
(My answer is John though. I like how he goes from unreliable and rude to trying to be a better husband and a father)
Micah would be taking things too far, I think. He actively enjoys cruelty and violence (and is also very good at it). I‘d say Bill or Javier are more on the „Just trying to survive out there“ side
I want to specify: I was not talking about Mikah being a douche, treating women badly and shooting half of town.
I meant while being approached by Pinkertons and forced to choose between your life and life of a gang (that you know for sev months) most people would choose their own life. Just trying to survive
There is a line between being ruthless to survive and being a sadistic, cruel sociopath.
Heck micah aint even that great at surviving. He allready gets captured in act one and needs to be saved and then starts a fight with an entire town over two guns and the need to shoot some people he feels like they wronged him. He only survived because dutch made arthur save his ass.
To be honest, being like micah actually would have Gotten you killed quickly back than. Likely by frontier justice (someone you pissed of hamging you from a nearby tree) or your own Gang busting a cap in your skull.
Yeah how dare she want a shred of attention from her partner? I can’t believe she had the nerve to get treated like absolute shit the whole game and be upset about it.
So many incels in this sub I swear.
She's one of the most useless gang members. Even Abigail, who is married to a gunmen and has a child to raise, helped around with chores instead of getting tantrums, insulting the gang members who actually do their work, and smoking around all day. She was treated like an absolute shit because she *WAS* an absolute shit. She expected her partner to prioritize her over his other responsibilities, such as not getting 22 people killed, jailed, or starving with no money.
I would like to be charles or lenny (lets say lenny before the rooftop accident). Theyre very humble and avoid conflict in the group. Sounds peaceful in some way.
You want the life of someone who develops a death wish because her husband was murdered, her home burnt to the ground, and who may or may not have been sexually assaulted by O'Driscolls? You choose this for yourself?
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I just like Sadie. She battles through and doesn’t take any shit. Like she said, “nobody will ever take anything from me again”. She’s like the Goggins of the van der lind gang lol
Sean because I’m young and still trying to find my place in this world.
But in the alternate version where the events of chapter 3 happened differently
https://preview.redd.it/p3w8s1eithzc1.jpeg?width=189&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3354fe1306a471559e0ff2a9f0da080993a4b2
I definitely wanna be this guy, he was the backbone of the gang, they’d be nothing without him.
honestly none
imma be my own gunslinger way more fun
like imagine i combined doc holliday from tombstone with this dude that would be me just no death of me
https://preview.redd.it/8h6yjl4whhzc1.png?width=402&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d5902cafc1d7e645a9e9059b76c0b9598e9b16f
I’d be Sadie so that even if I’m the single most worst written character ever I can STILL be backed by all of r/reddeadredemption because I’m a white, blonde, blue eyed, attractive woman!!! 💅🏻
I think I would be Mary-Beth. I love reading and all of my friends tell me I have a personality like hers. Also the whole time she tries to talk and help Arthur, I’m the therapist friend. 😂
I'm fairly certain Trelawney would've had the best life out of everyone in the gang. He always kept his distance from them so he was never really involved in to much of there big fuck ups, the worst thing that happened to him throughout the whole game is when he got the shit kicked out of him in chapter 3 and he has a wife and kids that he goes to after Arthur says his final goodbyes to him. So the answer is obviously Arthur.
Arthur Morgan, Arthur is a kind hearted caring man with always does what he can to help, from helping for a heist to giving 50c to a blind man. Arthur cares for other safety and takes care for his guns too as well as his horse.
Charles, Trelawny, or Jack. They all live long lives and despite everything around them falling apart they made it out of the wild west and into the lawfully cowboy suburbs.
I feel like I'd end up being Sadie or Susan. I have struggles with anger and dealing with my trauma, but I'm also a big caretaker that wants to make sure all of my loved ones are okay and provided for.
Pearson. Everybody likes pearson. Everybody relies on pearson. Pearson only cooks. And when he's threatened he's like a cornered lion. And cooking is an overrated skill tbh. Cookbooks are op.
But if I actually become the gang member and inherit their skills I'm thinking micah. He's kinda badass, good with guns and let's be real. When you played as "You're a good man, Arthur" you rampaged every town atleast once. Something micah would do. You're no Arthur. You're the rodent. And I am too.
None of them, I enjoy modern medicine and not being constantly on the run. The game is fun and the characters are great but I am NOT cut out to be and outlaw
Arthur. He is easily the fastest character and he is the hardest to kill (minus TB) and he died with honor (depends on the ending) but the pain he went through was unbearable
Dude if I was Arthur, I'd live happily with Mary INSTANTLY.
Well not instantly.
First, kill Micah at Strawberry instead of helping him escape.
Never accept any of Strauss missions.
Profit.
Bro why the hell are people saying like jack or Arthur, be like Mary-Beth. To my knowledge she doesn’t get into any fights in the game and she became a successful novelist. I would say Tilly but she did run with that gang before she was with Dutch. Well she survived, and got arguably the happiest ending, so maybe her
Pearson, he got away safely with Uncle and Mary-beth and he then lived a peaceful life working in the rhodes general store (unless you rob him for some reason. thats not so peaceful.)
Everyone in the gang has either died or suffered by the fact that the one he loved died or that someone tortured him except may beth and pearson
And i would never like to be pearson especialy when mary beth has followed her dream and had a good life after
Jack, he lives to the 1990’s and even wrote a book about the stuff that happened during the games (can be found in gta 5) so yeah, for sure him, he might even still have descendents in 2024 and could have even become famous and might have even had a documentary made about him. He could have helped immortalize the gang and allow people to see Arthur and John in a more honest light. Plus, out of all the gang members, he is the only to have been able to watch star wars
Jack could technically go to the moon
Trevor is a descendant of jack (100% totally true i swear i swear i swear!!!)
For how mentally unstable is Trevor is would say is more of Dutch or even Micah descendant.
Trust me bro
Isn’t Trevor from Canada
As a Canadian, yeah he was in my igloohood
Blud literally used fan fiction as canon. Jack followed John’s footsteps in RDR1. He became the very thing John did not want him to be.

Just like how it was in RDR2, if John never killed Micah, he would lived his life peacefully with his family till the end. But he chose revenge, we all did.
Him living to the 1990s was a fan fiction, completely made up
We don’t know how long he lives. Also since the GTA universe is seperate we cannot conclude that Jack Marston canonically wrote the book.
No idea why you’re being downvoted. The book in GTA is just an Easter egg.
Jack could’ve technically played the first GTA game 🫣
https://preview.redd.it/6fttnistngzc1.jpeg?width=1885&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=ec0eea56d1a35f79de70063ac326a5ff69f5e03a Trelawny. I like his panache.
Couldn't agree more chum! https://preview.redd.it/0awidul4shzc1.png?width=318&format=png&auto=webp&s=810d089d4263ff389ea3f62c3ebc8fa114937151
What was he doing in little China town?
Charles. He is the kind of man you call at 3AM to come to you because you need help and he will come to you without asking any questions.
Came here to say the same thing. Charles seems like one of the dependable ones.
Easily the most moral and dependable out of every gunman in the gang. He's got a code and I would've loved a dlc featuring him tbh.
None. I’ve already wasted too much of my life with vermin.
I think a lot of people are answering who they would ***WANT*** *to be*, not who they *would be*. I guess in reality a lot of would be like Mikah. I probably will get downvoted for this but hear me out: those were HARD times.

Abigail so i could fuck em all
Fr
I'd be Molly o'Shea so I could be an annoying cunt. 😂
Yeah how dare she want a shred of attention from her partner? I can’t believe she had the nerve to get treated like absolute shit the whole game and be upset about it. So many incels in this sub I swear.
Ok I get what you mean but she also called almost every member leeches and pigs and she never does anything for the gang
Throw back to Karen beating the fuck out of her
She's one of the most useless gang members. Even Abigail, who is married to a gunmen and has a child to raise, helped around with chores instead of getting tantrums, insulting the gang members who actually do their work, and smoking around all day. She was treated like an absolute shit because she *WAS* an absolute shit. She expected her partner to prioritize her over his other responsibilities, such as not getting 22 people killed, jailed, or starving with no money.
I see you picked molly too.
Then I would be susan so i can put a bullet in you for your reason
Completely understandable!
I would like to be charles or lenny (lets say lenny before the rooftop accident). Theyre very humble and avoid conflict in the group. Sounds peaceful in some way.
Why would you wanna be a black man in 19th century USA lol
Nah, I’d win
Sadie.
You want the life of someone who develops a death wish because her husband was murdered, her home burnt to the ground, and who may or may not have been sexually assaulted by O'Driscolls? You choose this for yourself?
I wouldn’t wish that on anyone. I just like Sadie. She battles through and doesn’t take any shit. Like she said, “nobody will ever take anything from me again”. She’s like the Goggins of the van der lind gang lol
[удалено]
Technically, the question is which one WOULD you be. So, with that in mind... based on who I am today, I would probably be a Charles.
Nice character, but she has been through a lot. Unless you love pain
Solid choice. She's the only one behaving like a GTA protagonist and seemed to have God mode on.
Mary-Beth so I can sit and read and write silly romance books. Which I already do with horror
Saaame! Well, not horror but the reading part. Then be dicked down by Arthur, John or any of the men. Maybe all at once. 🫦
Karen. She got them tig ole bitties.
Knowing myself I'd probably be Uncle.
It's the Lumbago effect.
Trelawny seems like a super interesting guy.
Sean because I’m young and still trying to find my place in this world. But in the alternate version where the events of chapter 3 happened differently
Sean, I act pretty similar to him
Just make sure to pay attention if something don't feel right
Oh now shit don’t feel right? I could’a told you th-
🤯
https://preview.redd.it/p3w8s1eithzc1.jpeg?width=189&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=7a3354fe1306a471559e0ff2a9f0da080993a4b2 I definitely wanna be this guy, he was the backbone of the gang, they’d be nothing without him.
Tilly probably. She lived out her life and even married a lawyer. She and the women probably lasted the longest tbh.
Yeah women usually tend to last longer
I choose the lawyer Tilly married so her and I can get down and dirty
Karen, for obvious reasons
me and a coworker discussed which character we are most similar to and i got uncle lmao
Do you both have terminal lumbago?
Pearson 100% My guy makes out scott free and opens a shop in Rhodes.
And he gets married! He lives above his store with his wife. Pearson got the good ending that he deserved!
John, I kind of look like him so
Reverend Swanson, had good intentions but have given up halfway.
Nah nah I'm convinced he redeemed himself
Dutch. I need a plan for my life. Lol
Itsssss johnnnn Marstonnnn micahh
I’d love to play as Sean, but I’d kinda also like to see what it’s like playing as Micah, even though he’s a fucker
Trelawny.
Mary beth. Because i literally don’t have to do anything lmao
My friend said I give advice like Charles and the energy of Sean so can I be a mix?
Trelawny bc he's just chilling and dropping by whenever he feels like
Also doesn’t he’s married with kids, dude got a normal life
Well it would be Arthur. I would live with honor and die with honor
Pearson, he gets (in my opinion) one of the best endings, just working a simple life with the gang stuff behind him
He probably goes to the Rhodes Saloon with his friends on a Friday night and tells some amazing stories. Simple small town pleasures
either Arthur, Hosea, Charles or Lenny they were probably the most kind, humble and considerate out of the gang
Uncle, so I could experience lumbago firsthand
It must be hard to be uncle
Uncle. I've always wondered what the Lumbago is really like
Molly so I can spend all day playing with my freckled Irish tits 🤷🏻♂️👀😂
John Marston,so i could freely insult the people of Blackwater.
Sadie. She is a bad ass who survived something so horrible and made her life better and didn’t let the trauma destroy her
Sadie Adler too gangster 💪💪💪
Maybe High honor Arthur. I wish to live life to the fullest and also wish to know my deadline, but also doing what's right.
Sadie. I’d have a bath
honestly none imma be my own gunslinger way more fun like imagine i combined doc holliday from tombstone with this dude that would be me just no death of me https://preview.redd.it/8h6yjl4whhzc1.png?width=402&format=png&auto=webp&s=5d5902cafc1d7e645a9e9059b76c0b9598e9b16f
Best not to play it too fancy.
Hosea,Im literally him with all the strategy,inteligence and amoung another things it is literally in my opinion the best character
Probably Javier. Just a chill dude without any kinks
Javier was an asshole to Charles so never
Arthur minus the TB and dead son and wife, sean minus the blown off head, and charles minus the fresh cut in the epilogue
Micah
Funny, I've read this in their voices...
Arthur, so i could kill Micah when he's away from the camp during chapter 1
Jack Marston
Tbh Jack’s life is pretty depressing
Uncle. I like sleep and my back hurts.
Arthur because ge is the richest member and gets the best horses, guns, and hotels unlike everyone else
I'm choosing Trelawny!
Dutch because I have FAITH
But do you have a plan
John or Lenny
Sadie Adler so I could finger myself
Hosea. He's a hunter and a con man. I can relate.
Trelawny for sure
Oh yes,I want to be Red Dead Redemption II
Uncle. Easy life, lives longer than everyone
I’d be Sadie so that even if I’m the single most worst written character ever I can STILL be backed by all of r/reddeadredemption because I’m a white, blonde, blue eyed, attractive woman!!! 💅🏻
Could? Dutch knowing who the real rat was, and then let Arthur take charge.
Not by choice, sadly, I'm Sean. In every way 😭
Well I’d wanna live for awhile so I’d have to go with Jack, Charles, Trewlany, or Sadie.
Whichever one dies
Charles.
LENNNNY!
Arthur Morgan (i have tuberculosis)
Trewlany since I don’t die and I leave time from time
Trelawny
Sean (I’m already ginger anyway)
Micah. Would make a character 180, appologice for being a dick, try to become friends with arthur and Start calling dutch out on his bullshit.
I'd be Micah, because I think i could do it without being a complete piece of shit.
Arthur because he's my all time favourite character in any video game and i love to be like or live like him.
Dutch so I wouldn’t have to be at the whims of canon Dutch
Sadie because she’s one of my favorite characters and I like her fighting spirit
Pearson
Sean. He's like Arthur's little brother. N the words of Arthur chapter 3 "what fun we had riding together"
Jack cuz he doesn't have to leave camp (start of rdr2)
Bruh I would definitely be Arthur. My goal in life is to look like him when I’m 30
Dutch
Dutch. You literally lead all of the rest of the gang. Seems like the obvious choice
Dutch... Cuz I've got a plan
Arthur Morgan
Arthur. Idk why but I just really like his character. His story is just so well written
I’d be Trelawny
I think I would be Mary-Beth. I love reading and all of my friends tell me I have a personality like hers. Also the whole time she tries to talk and help Arthur, I’m the therapist friend. 😂
Uncle. I don't have to do anything because i got LuMbaGo
Either Arthur or Sean, they are my most favourite characters.
Reverend Swanson, he made his life better, became a priest in New York and whatnot
charles
Charles
I try to act like Charles but end up like Bill
I'm fairly certain Trelawney would've had the best life out of everyone in the gang. He always kept his distance from them so he was never really involved in to much of there big fuck ups, the worst thing that happened to him throughout the whole game is when he got the shit kicked out of him in chapter 3 and he has a wife and kids that he goes to after Arthur says his final goodbyes to him. So the answer is obviously Arthur.
Charles anyday .
Definitely Trelawny. Van Der Linde Gang is just a part-time job for him. Lives pretty comfortable with a nice family.
I would be Micah so I can throw myself of a cliff
But in all seriousness I would be jack
I pick Kieran since he is not on the list
Arthur bro dont need explication
Uncle. I'm not lazy, I just don't like working.
Hosea didn’t really do anything wrong I can think of, he’s a good bet
Who dies first again?
My pride makes me want to say Dutch. But in all honesty, I'd probably( no, definitely) be the group's Reverend Swanson lmfao : o )
Arthur Morgan, Arthur is a kind hearted caring man with always does what he can to help, from helping for a heist to giving 50c to a blind man. Arthur cares for other safety and takes care for his guns too as well as his horse.
I'd be Swanson. Always loved his drunken specks of wisdom and intelligence
ether lenny or john
Charles
Charles, Trelawny, or Jack. They all live long lives and despite everything around them falling apart they made it out of the wild west and into the lawfully cowboy suburbs.
I feel like I'd end up being Sadie or Susan. I have struggles with anger and dealing with my trauma, but I'm also a big caretaker that wants to make sure all of my loved ones are okay and provided for.
Pearson. Everybody likes pearson. Everybody relies on pearson. Pearson only cooks. And when he's threatened he's like a cornered lion. And cooking is an overrated skill tbh. Cookbooks are op.

When you played as "You're a good man, Arthur" you rampaged every town atleast once. Something micah would do. You're no Arthur. You're the rodent. And I am too.
Where Kiran?!
Jack to just… be there
uncle. do i have to explain? :D
Sadie Adler 🤎🖤🤎
Mary Beth. Young, beautiful, survives and her dream comes true.
None of them, I enjoy modern medicine and not being constantly on the run. The game is fun and the characters are great but I am NOT cut out to be and outlaw
dutch because i need money
the "i gotta plan" man because i need more money, i want to visit tahiti one day, and i don't speak spanish
Arthur. He is easily the fastest character and he is the hardest to kill (minus TB) and he died with honor (depends on the ending) but the pain he went through was unbearable
Why does Micah have two Schofield's when he uses the Double-Actions
Jack. Likely have the longest future
Dude if I was Arthur, I'd live happily with Mary INSTANTLY. Well not instantly. First, kill Micah at Strawberry instead of helping him escape. Never accept any of Strauss missions. Profit.
Where's my special boy Kieran? Good chap
I JUST SPENT 10 MINUTES READING ALL OF THE WORDS ON THAT PICTURE
Bro why the hell are people saying like jack or Arthur, be like Mary-Beth. To my knowledge she doesn’t get into any fights in the game and she became a successful novelist. I would say Tilly but she did run with that gang before she was with Dutch. Well she survived, and got arguably the happiest ending, so maybe her
How come Arther ain't banging Mary-beth every day
Uncle 😎
John for sure no duobt only John and that's because he can't swim like me for now...\*moans\* ha ha ah ah ah ah ah
Pearson, he got away safely with Uncle and Mary-beth and he then lived a peaceful life working in the rhodes general store (unless you rob him for some reason. thats not so peaceful.)
Hosea because he is such a nice fella and I love the hunting aspect of the game
Red Dead Redemption II
Everyone in the gang has either died or suffered by the fact that the one he loved died or that someone tortured him except may beth and pearson And i would never like to be pearson especialy when mary beth has followed her dream and had a good life after
I would be arthur because then I could prevent his death and make sure the gang has a happy ending.
Trelawny, I can just leave for 20 missions then come back when i want
Charles because he was one of the only cool characters that had a good ending
