GTA San Andreas characters aren't directly based on real-life people, but they seem inspired by a mix of real-life figures and classic film and television characters, especially from the '90s era. For example, CJ (Carl Johnson) has vibes that remind some of Tupac Shakur, not directly, but in his style and story of trying to escape the gang life. Officer Tenpenny could give off some Denzel Washington in 'Training Day' vibes, illustrating a crooked cop with charm. It's a blend of cultural icons and fictional storytelling at its best!

The only real character in GTA San Andreas is Los Santos itself - a character built from the ground up to mirror the chaos and beauty of early '90s LA. Everything else? Pure fiction with a sprinkle of real-life inspiration.

Actually, it's all fictional. The characters in GTA San Andreas are original creations by Rockstar. They might remind you of real-life figures because the game does a great job mirroring '90s culture and issues.
