As long as it’s the same character, yes. You could also add on to your story to include any development your character might have had following your previous denial, if you choose to do so. Good luck!

Marina Del Rey is an unincorporated community that lies in the Venice area of the city of Los Angeles. In game, LA doesn't exist as it's replaced by LS. You'd be better off roleplaying Marina Del Rey as Vespucci as it fits within the confines of the game and GTA.

Is "Monte Wright" within the standards of names?

(( Also I accidently put my timezone as Gregory Reznik, anyone able to change that? ))

1.) Your name seems fine to me, but I'm not in the Pre-Employment team.

2.) Go up to the top corner, click your name, and select "user controlled panel", move over to "Profile", and there you can edit it.

Got it, thank you for the answer.
Regarding the application, how long and in depth should the background be in order to be successful? What's the minimum amount of words you are looking for? Thanks.

Here, you can find all details about the hiring process, requirements, and more. You can find the application format down below in that topic as well.

As for the backstory, the minimum word count is 250 words. The story is expected to cover all significant and adequate information about the character as a means to show us what you're trying to portray. This includes, but is not limited to, details that introduce your character, elaborate about their upbringing, educational background, motivation, and whatever you deem necessary to fulfill the story.
