− | + | Playa is the player character in ''[[Saints Row]]'', ''[[Saints Row 2]]'', ''[[Saints Row: The Third]]'' and ''[[Saints Row IV]]''. The ''Saints Row'' series largely concerns Playa's adventures as a [[3rd Street Saints]] gang member, starting as a nobody initiated into the gang,{{ref|'''Mission''': "[[Canonized]]"}} second-in-command,{{ref|'''Cutscene''': "[[Battlefield Promotion]]"}} and finally leader.{{ref|'''Mission''': [[Three Kings]]}} Throughout this journey, Playa takes the 3rd Street Saints from a small-time gang from [[the Row]] to a "household brand name" in [[Stilwater]] and then [[Steelport]].{{ref|gameinformer20110302|2='''Gameinformer''': [http://www.gameinformer.com/b/news/archive/2011/03/02/april-cover-saints-third789.aspx?PostPageIndex=2 April Cover Revealed - ''Saints Row: The Third'' (page 2)]}} During the events of ''[[Saints Row IV]]'', Playa becomes President of the United States. |

− | + | Playa does not have a given name throughout the series, and has been referred to as '''playa'''{{ref|'''Note''': In ''Saints Row'', ''Saints Row 2'' and ''Saints Row IV'' - primarily by [[Julius]], [[Dex]], and [[Ben King]]}}, '''son'''{{ref|'''Note''': By Julius, [[Benjamin King]], [[Marshall Winslow]] and [[Richard Hughes]]}}, and '''Boss'''{{ref|'''Note''': In ''Saints Row 2'', ''Saints Row: The Third'' and ''Saints Row IV''}} throughout the games. On television they're given various titles, including "Leader of the Saints"{{ref|'''Activity''': ''[[Professor Genki's S.E.R.C.]]''}} and "Local Psychopath"{{ref|'''Mission''': "[[STAG Film]]"}}. In ''Saints Row IV'', they are referred to as "The President of the United States" or simply "The President". During "[[A Game of Clones]]", there is a clone known as "The Stilwater default player". |
|
+ | During development, the character was named "Mikey", but was pronounced "Mickey".{{ref|'''Twitch''': [http://www.twitch.tv/dsvolition/b/445703198 Volition Plays SR1]}} In animatics for ''Saints Row 2'', Volition used "PC" for Player Character.{{ref|image=PC behind the scenes.png|PC in an animatic}} At E3, the banner for the player character said "Player".{{ref|image=E3 banner - Player.jpg|E3 banner - Player}} |

'''Playa''' is the first unique name used, and no other character is referred to as '''Playa''' at any other time in the entire series. |

− | In ''Saints Row'', |
+ | In ''Saints Row'', Playa is a new recruit for the Saints, remaining quiet for the majority of the game not questioning any orders given to him. Playa is too timid to speak with rival gangs or other Saints until towards the end of the game.{{ref|'''Mission''': "[[King Me]]"}} |
− | In ''Saints Row 2'', |
+ | In ''Saints Row 2'', Playa has 6 different personalities for the player to choose. Depending on the voice chosen, Playa may break the {{wp|fourth wall}} by randomly mentioning a few aspects of the game during gameplay.{{ref?}} For example, ''Male Voice 3'' sometimes says "''You know I never see a dog around here? Weird.''" Although Playa's dialogue for the cutscenes is always the same in ''Saints Row 2'', the in-game dialogue differs for each personality.{{ref?}} In ''Saints Row 2'', Playa is portrayed as extremely vicious, showing no remorse in killing and torturing enemies.{{ref?}} |
− | + | Playa has a strong friendship with Johnny Gat, having known him the longest of any of the Saints since his initiation into the gang.{{ref?}} Playa displays exceptional strength and durability throughout the series. During the conclusion of ''Saints Row'' he was caught in a point blank explosion and only suffered minor burns, though his coma lasted [[Timeline|five years]].{{ref|'''Cutscene''': [[Vacation's Over]]}}{{ref|5 years SR2|'''Website''': [http://sr2.saintsrow.com/overview.php ''Saints Row 2'': Official Site]}} Neither Mayor Hughes nor his men survived.{{ref?}} In the trailer for ''Saints Row'' Playa said his life changed after meeting Julius, desiring more and more power and money.{{ref|youtube=JC4NQZonXDM|Saints Row Trailer}} While typically Playa reserves the bulk of their wrath for rival gang members or other foes, they still display a comical disregard for human life, not unlike most inhabitants of the ''Saints Row'' universe.{{ref?}} Playa does have a few heroic qualities despite their sadistic nature, such as going to extreme lengths for friends, leading by example and feeling regret for several actions such the burning of Shivington or if they allow Shaundi and Viola to die during the climax of ''Saints Row: the Third''.{{ref|'''Mission''': [[Three Way]]}} |
|
− | + | Playa kills their mentor Julius in cold blood.{{ref|'''Mission''': [[Revelation]]}} The former leader of the Saints tries to defend his actions and claims that Playa was too power-hungry, a charge which Playa confirms. However, Julius' motives remain questionable.{{ref?}} The social engineering by Dane Vogel left the original inhabitants of the ''Saints Row'' district homeless and destitute, and the betrayal of the Saints saw the majority of them dead or serving prison sentences while Julius lived a comfortable lifestyle.{{ref|'''Mission''': [[Revelation]] }} In Playas' eyes, Julius crossed the only line they never had, betraying one's friends.{{ref?}} |
|
− | In ''Saints Row: The Third'', |
+ | In ''Saints Row: The Third'', Playa has 7 different personalities.{{ref?}} Playa is portrayed as being, arguably, less susceptible to random bursts of violence, due to already having the power and wealth they desired.{{ref?}} In fact, the Saint's success in crushing the gangs of Stilwater and partnering with Ultor led to Playa's rise to celebrity status, complete with a [[Planet Saints]] franchise and movie offers.{{ref|'''Mission''': [[I'm Free - Free Falling]]}} They are still psychotic killers, as they show little emotion while killing other than excitement.{{ref?}} This is tempered by their loyalty to their fellow gang members, since ''Saints Row: the Third'' is mainly centered around them, Shaundi, and Pierce taking revenge after the death of Johnny Gat.{{ref?}} However, it seems that Playa is not entirely as merciless as before, agreeing to spare Matt Miller's life when the Decker's leader promises to cut ties with the Syndicate, as well as abandoning his role in the gang war and leaving Steelport, which Matt honors.{{ref|'''Mission''': {{http://deckers.die}} }} Despite having tendencies of a psychopath their loyalty to their friends and concern for their well being is not a trait of psychopathic killers. |

We should probably look to changing the Pledge of Allegiance to One Nation Under Me", to the annoyance of the other Saints. Just as Playa was about to attend a press conference to deal with this PR disaster, Shaundi informs him that Asha and Matt had arrived to warn them of an impending [[The Saints Wing|alien invasion]] since MI6 refused to believe them. Playa fails to take this seriously before actual [[Zin|aliens]] attack. Their leader, [[Zinyak]], claims that the best and brightest among humanity shall be spared. As Kinzie quickly claimed to be smarter than everyone in the press room, the alien overlord beams her up. Playa and Shaundi attempt to rescue her but Secret Service pin him to the floor while Shaundi is captured. Playa shakes them off and runs through the White House as members of the Saints are abducted. Getting outside, Playa mounts an anti-air turret and begins shooting down UFOs, ultimately shooting down Zinyak's ship. Playa goes head-to-head with Zinayk but is defeated by the alien's superhuman powers.{{ref|'''Mission''': [[The Saints Wing]]}} |

Revision as of 16:22, 19 March 2020
The player character of the Saints Row series is unnamed, this wiki refers to them as Playa.
- In Saints Row, the character is male. From Saints Row 2 onwards, default character is male, but can be customised to be female. This wiki uses either masculine or gender-neutral pronouns unless specifically describing a female voice or character.
Overview
Playa is the player character in Saints Row, Saints Row 2, Saints Row: The Third and Saints Row IV. The Saints Row series largely concerns Playa's adventures as a 3rd Street Saints gang member, starting as a nobody initiated into the gang,[31] second-in-command,[32] and finally leader.[33] Throughout this journey, Playa takes the 3rd Street Saints from a small-time gang from the Row to a "household brand name" in Stilwater and then Steelport.[34] During the events of Saints Row IV, Playa becomes President of the United States.
Playa lacks a definitive physical appearance, as Playa's appearance can be changed using the Image As Designed plastic surgeon. In Saints Row 2 onwards, Playa's gender can be changed, thus retconning Playa's established gender as a male.
Due to the character's being completely customizable, this page refers to various versions of Playa.
Name
Playa does not have a given name throughout the series, and has been referred to as playa[35], son[36], and Boss[37] throughout the games. On television they're given various titles, including "Leader of the Saints"[38] and "Local Psychopath"[9]. In Saints Row IV, they are referred to as "The President of the United States" or simply "The President". During "A Game of Clones", there is a clone known as "The Stilwater default player".
During development, the character was named "Mikey", but was pronounced "Mickey".[2] In animatics for Saints Row 2, Volition used "PC" for Player Character.[39] At E3, the banner for the player character said "Player".[40]
During The Streets of Stilwater cutscene, the player character is addressed as "man", "baby", and "dawg" by 3 unnamed characters, before being addressed as playa by Julius in his first line, followed by "son" two lines later. Playa is the first unique name used, and no other character is referred to as Playa at any other time in the entire series.
Kinzie Kensington knows their real name, but is stopped mid-sentence before saying it, as Playa warns her that somebody else might be listening in on their radio conversation.[41]
If the "Nolan North" voice is selected in Saints Row IV during the mission A Pleasant Day, Kinzie asks Playa to be themselves while causing destruction, and he replies "be... Nolan?". While in gameplay, the voice randomly says "that is how Nolan rolls".
Personality
|
In Saints Row, Playa is a new recruit for the Saints, remaining quiet for the majority of the game not questioning any orders given to him. Playa is too timid to speak with rival gangs or other Saints until towards the end of the game.[42]
In Saints Row 2, Playa has 6 different personalities for the player to choose. Depending on the voice chosen, Playa may break the fourth wall by randomly mentioning a few aspects of the game during gameplay.Template:Ref? For example, Male Voice 3 sometimes says "You know I never see a dog around here? Weird." Although Playa's dialogue for the cutscenes is always the same in Saints Row 2, the in-game dialogue differs for each personality.Template:Ref? In Saints Row 2, Playa is portrayed as extremely vicious, showing no remorse in killing and torturing enemies.Template:Ref?
Playa has a strong friendship with Johnny Gat, having known him the longest of any of the Saints since his initiation into the gang.Template:Ref? Playa displays exceptional strength and durability throughout the series. During the conclusion of Saints Row he was caught in a point blank explosion and only suffered minor burns, though his coma lasted five years.[43][44] Neither Mayor Hughes nor his men survived.Template:Ref? In the trailer for Saints Row Playa said his life changed after meeting Julius, desiring more and more power and money.[45] While typically Playa reserves the bulk of their wrath for rival gang members or other foes, they still display a comical disregard for human life, not unlike most inhabitants of the Saints Row universe.Template:Ref? Playa does have a few heroic qualities despite their sadistic nature, such as going to extreme lengths for friends, leading by example and feeling regret for several actions such the burning of Shivington or if they allow Shaundi and Viola to die during the climax of Saints Row: the Third.[46]
Playa kills their mentor Julius in cold blood.[47] The former leader of the Saints tries to defend his actions and claims that Playa was too power-hungry, a charge which Playa confirms. However, Julius' motives remain questionable.Template:Ref? The social engineering by Dane Vogel left the original inhabitants of the Saints Row district homeless and destitute, and the betrayal of the Saints saw the majority of them dead or serving prison sentences while Julius lived a comfortable lifestyle.[47] In Playas' eyes, Julius crossed the only line they never had, betraying one's friends.Template:Ref?
In Saints Row: The Third, Playa has 7 different personalities.Template:Ref? Playa is portrayed as being, arguably, less susceptible to random bursts of violence, due to already having the power and wealth they desired.Template:Ref? In fact, the Saint's success in crushing the gangs of Stilwater and partnering with Ultor led to Playa's rise to celebrity status, complete with a Planet Saints franchise and movie offers.[48] They are still psychotic killers, as they show little emotion while killing other than excitement.Template:Ref? This is tempered by their loyalty to their fellow gang members, since Saints Row: the Third is mainly centered around them, Shaundi, and Pierce taking revenge after the death of Johnny Gat.Template:Ref? However, it seems that Playa is not entirely as merciless as before, agreeing to spare Matt Miller's life when the Decker's leader promises to cut ties with the Syndicate, as well as abandoning his role in the gang war and leaving Steelport, which Matt honors.[49] Despite having tendencies of a psychopath their loyalty to their friends and concern for their well being is not a trait of psychopathic killers.

Saints Row
- Main article: Saints Row
When walking through the district of Saint's Row in the city of Stilwater, Playa ignores a watch seller and walks up to a prostitute, but soon, he is caught up in a small turf war between the city's criminal factions. Despite trying to keep his distance, a Vice Kings gang member attempts to kill him after the violent battle. Julius Little and Troy Bradshaw, from the small-time street gang the 3rd Street Saints, save him from his execution, with Troy killing the small-time hoodlum. Julius invites him to meet the gang at the church in Saint's Row if he is interested, seeing as they need all the help they can get.[59]
At the Saints Row Church, Playa is initiated into the gang by surviving a beatdown by Saints members. Julius informs the gang that it is time to take the fight to the three rival gangs: Los Carnales, Westside Rollerz, and the Vice Kings.[31]
Though before Playa gets to do any serious work done, he has to build up the Saint's Rep and showing they mean business, such as causing mayhem[60], holding-up stores, borrowing money from loan sharks[61], hijacking vehicles for money, collecting CDs,[62] tagging places, assassinating people just for cash, stealing vehicles so he can take them to a chop shop, holding civilians hostage in their cars for money, killing pimps, stealing their hos, and taking them to a brothel, driving hookers around while avoiding paparazzi, IRS, significant others, and private investigators while the hooker has sex with a client, competing in illegal street races, and protecting drug dealers while they sell their product.
While trying to take the three main gangs out of commission, Playa mainly works with the 4 Saint Lieutenants: Johnny Gat, who's a shoot first ask questions never kinda guy. Dex, who usually likes to plan 3 moves ahead. Lin, who somewhat unhappily uses her feminine side to her advantage. And Troy, who makes up his lack of expertise by his enthusiasm. While helping take down the three gangs, Playa is appointed by Julius as his right hand man.
During the campaign against the Carnales, Playa takes down Hector[63] and Angelo Lopez[64]. While fighting the Vice Kings Playa battles Anthony Green to the death.Template:Ref? In the campaign against the Westside Rollerz, both William Sharp and Joseph Price meet their ends at the hands of Playa.
Playa gets to know Johnny Gat, Dex, Lin and Troy while helping take down the three gangs, and is appointed by Julius as his right hand man. Julius soon thereafter ends up being arrested by the police, and Playa thus becomes the de-facto leader of the gang.[32]
Chief Monroe, a corrupt police chief, orders Playa, Dex and Johnny to do a little "community service" or he will kill Julius. Playa steals a campaign bus with Marshall Winslow inside and parks it on the train tracks.[65]
- Yo, can you speed this shit up? I wanna go to Freckle Bitch's...
- — Playa in reply to Hughes' exposition and just prior to the explosion.
During Winslow's funeral, Playa kills Monroe.[66] Richard Hughes, Winslow's rival, phoned Playa to meet him on the Yacht. Richard's plan was to redevelop the Saints Row community, and was given the go ahead after the saints made a name for themselves. Playa was about to get killed by Hughes' men, but Julius pressed the remote setting off the explosives he planted, killing Hughes and putting Playa into a coma.[67]
Saints Row 2
- Main article: Saints Row 2
Five years[44] after being put in a coma, Playa awakes inside a prison hospital. There he meets fellow convict Carlos Mendoza who got himself shanked to meet Playa and helps him escape the prison island.[68] On the way, Carlos informs him that a lot of things have changed while Playa was comatose. Carlos explains that the Saints fell apart without anyone to lead them, and dropped their flags before they were killed, and the chaos allowed for new gangs to take control of the city, as well as the rise of the Ultor Corporation that practically took control of the inefficent and corrupt police force. He advises Playa to lay low for a while.[69]
While having a beer in Tee'N'Ay, Playa watches a news broadcast about Johnny Gat,[70] who is about to be executed for 387 murders as well as the attempted murder of Troy Bradshaw, who became chief of police. After breaking him out of his court appearance, he drops Johnny off at his girlfriend, Aisha's house, where they have a beer[71] and plan on taking back their city once again by first taking over the condemned hotel under a mission house. Three new gangs have taken control: The Brotherhood of Stilwater controlling the south, the Sons of Samedi taking all central Stilwater, and the Ronin having a tight grip up north. Their first move is to get a new hideout. This time, it's an old underground hotel in Old Stilwater beneath an abandoned mission house. After "evicting the current tenants"[72], they get new lieutenants[33] and slowly take back what was once theirs, and defeat the three gangs.
During the conflict with the Ronin, Playa defeats the lieutenant Jyunichi in a sword fight[73] for killing Aisha, helps Johnny Gat to get revenge on Shogo Akuji[74] and leaves Kazuo Akuji to die on a burning boat[75]. Template:BrAs part of the struggle against The Brotherhood, Playa kills Carlos[76] to put him out of his misery. He murders Matt[77], as well as Maero[78]in a final showdown in the Stilwater Arena. Template:BrWhile battling the Sons of Samedi, Playa murders Veteran Child[79], Mr. Sunshine[80], and The General[81].
Bonus Mission
- Julius: "You owe me, playa - if it weren't for me, you woulda died on that street corner."
Playa: "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been in a goddamn coma."
Julius: "Then I guess that makes us even..."
Playa: "Not really."
- — Last moments before Playa shoots Julius
Playa sneaks into the police station and listens to some recorded phone conversations and discovers that Julius planted the bomb on the yacht. After discovering Dex's file in Julius' file, he calls Dex, who tells him to meet him at the old church.[82] At the church, Julius is waiting, who was also told to go there by Dex. As Playa is about to kill Julius, the Masako attack them both.[83] After fighting waves of Masako, they escape to the Thalia Amiptheatre and fight more Masako.[47] After defeating all of the Masako, Playa shoots Julius in the chest but it doesn't kill him. They argue about what the Saints became, before Playa shoots Julius in the head.[84]
Epilogue
After taking back the city, conflict ignites between Ultor and the Saints, starting when Playa is ambushed at a nightclub by a Masako Unit, and the lieutenants are kidnapped.[85] After escaping the ambush and rescuing Shaundi and Pierce, they all meet up with Johnny Gat and plan to assault The Pyramid, Ultor's secret facility built underneath and in the perimeter of Mount Claflin.[86] They hope to expose Ultor's rather dastardly plans for the city, and to destroy their weapons and warheads. Playa and Johnny head there, and the assault goes well.[86] Soon, Pierce gives Playa a hint that a luxury cruise ship in the middle of the ocean is where the Ultor executives are having a meeting. Playa goes there and kills all the executives and guards, and shoots down some attack helicopters.[87] This all happens in front of Dane Vogel's eyes, who watches from his top floor office in the Phillips Building.
Vogel holds a press conference outside the Saints Row Church about the incident, and Playa and Johnny plan an assassination. Johnny is spotted by a guard who followed him to the rooftop, and accidentally shoots the sniper rifle in the struggle, which alerts Vogel and his bodyguards. Playa rushes towards Vogel with a pistol, while Johnny takes down any resistance after throwing the guard off the rooftop. Playa jumps onto Vogel's limo, but is shaken off, and he is forced to assault Vogel by hijacking an attack helicopter, taking out the power stations on the Phillips Building, and eventually jumping off the helicopter's fuselage, onto the top floor of the Phillips Building, where he then confronts Dane. Vogel tries to reason with Playa, who responds by shooting him in the mouth, sending him backwards through the top floor window.[88]
After Tobias arrives in his helicopter to pick up Shaundi, Pierce, and Playa, Pierce asks "So...what do we do now?", in which Playa responds "This is our city, we can do whatever the fuck we want to do." and they fly off into the city.Template:Ref?
Ultor Exposed
In Ultor Exposed former Ultor employee Tera decides to help the Saints with exposing the darker side of Ultor. Playa helps Tera dig up dead bodies used for experimentation in order to bring down Ultor.[89] After, Playa is instructed to hijack a truck that has classified Ultor chemicals to try and persuade Jane Valderamma to run the story. However all the effort turns out to be for naught as Jane purposely claims Tera the one responsible with the reasoning that Ultor would just bury the story anyway.[90]
Corporate Warfare
In Corporate Warfare New CEO of Ultor, Eric Gryphon, comes to Playa for protection from Dex, who Gryphon fears will make an attempt on his life. Playa agrees and saves him from being killed by a Masako team sent by Dex.[91] Eric tells Playa about toxic waste that Dex is going to sell. Along with some Ultor security team members at the power plant, Playa helps Gryphon capture the shipment.[22] Dex later flees Stilwater after getting an emergency transfer to another city. Angry and knowing he can't get Dex, Playa asks Eric for names of people that Dex was close to and then kills them.[92] Playa swears to Eric that he will find out which city Dex fled to and kill him.[92] Playa also assures that the hostilities between the 3rd Street Saints and Ultor are over, as long as Ultor don't try to come after them.[93]

Saints Row: The Third
- Main article: Saints Row: The Third
Some years after the events in Saints Row 2, the 3rd Street Saints became a household name in Stilwater and partnered up with the Ultor Corporation. Playa's ascent to fame is first seen in Saints Row 2; the activities Fuzz, Trail Blazing and Crowd Control introduce him to entertainment industry figures, and his notoriety as a gang leader is enough that Stilwater pedestrians quickly recognize him and commented on his activities.
After many years on the top Playa, Johnny Gat, Shaundi, and an actor named Josh Birk rob the Stilwater 1st National Bank as a publicity stunt. The robbery goes wrong and they are arrested by SWAT.[94]
Unbeknownst to them, the bank is owned by Phillipe Loren, the leader of Morningstar and the chairman of The Syndicate, so the Saints are taken to meet Loren onboard his Gawalek A36 jet over Steelport. After being given a chance to give a share of their profits to the Syndicate, they refuse and break free. Johnny takes control of the plane and fights off Phillipe, being killed in the process, allowing Shaundi and Playa time to jump out the plane. After fighting more members of the Morningstar in the air, they land in Steelport where Phillipe has Matt Miller, leader of the Deckers, hack into the Saints' accounts and empty them.[48]
Playa and Shaundi raid the local Guard Armory and call Pierce to bring the Saints to Steelport.[95] Playa and Pierce drive to get acquainted with the Steelport, and end up in a battle with a group of Morningstar members and their Brute.[96] Playa later parachutes into a Morningstar penthouse to take it over and hurt the Syndicate, then chases a fleeing gang member with an Oppressor in order to disarm a bomb.[97] After taking the Penthouse, Playa and Pierce begin buying property belonging to the Morningstar using deeds recovered from their lockbox.[98]
After multiple encounters with the Morningstar, the Saints strike at their headquarters, the Syndicate Tower, and Phillipe is indirectly killed by Playa. During this they meet a test subject named Oleg whom the Syndicate were using to clone brutes, and he joins them to fight the Syndicate.[99]
Playa and his crew return to Stilwater to bury Johnny, but are attacked by Luchadores working for Killbane, who destroy a memorial bridge the Saints are getting chased across, causing Playa, Shaundi, Pierce and Oleg to end up in the river.[100] Oleg reveals the Saints are not ready to fight the Syndicate and he knows people that can help. When Playa arrives back in Steelport, along with Pierce and Shaundi he finds ex-FBI agent Kinzie Kensington who is being held by the Deckers, Zimos who was being held at Safeword in the "Pony Barn" and helping ex-Luchador member Angel De LaMuerte from Killbane's Luchadores.[101].
After recruiting the three new lieutenants, Playa gives the 3rd Street Saints a speech that the Syndicate will have to answer for what they have done. At the same time, Killbane takes over the Syndicate.[102]
Playa is called to the Saints HQ by Shaundi when Pierce throws a party, which angers her due to Johnny's recent death and she voices displeasure, although Playa agrees with Pierce that they can't mourn Gat forever.[103] During the party its revealed that the strippers are working for the Morningstar and try to kill the Saints, but Playa manages to fight them off and kill them[104]. After this Playa goes to see Zimos at his crib and says its time to take down the Morningstar[105]. Playa poses as a sex slave to be auctioned off at Safeword and once the Saints and Zimos get in, they disable the security to allow more Saints to takeover and wipe out the remaining Morningstar, and then claim Safeword as their own[106]. After getting a tip off from Viola DeWynter, who was Loren's right hand, Playa and Zimos invade a Morningstar cargo ship to collect prostitutes being smuggled in[54]. After getting the prostitutes Playa receives a phone call from Matt Miller offering to buy back the prostitutes, and the player has a choice to either keep them or bring them to the brothel at Saints HQ.
Playa and Oleg go to meet Viola at the park who offers to help the Saints in order to make Killbane suffer, but the meeting is interrupted by STAG who have been sent to take down the gangs of Steelport[107]. Playa escapes back to the Saints HQ while Oleg fights off the STAG who are attacking[107]. Playa begins fighting against STAG and starts by destroying their bases[108] and kidnaps Josh Birk whose character Nyte Blayde is being used as a mascot for STAG[109]. Playa attracts STAG to the Saints HQ for a massive fight, and at the end is approached by Cyrus Temple the leader of STAG who asks for them to return STAG and they will keep the attention off the Saints for the while[110]. Whatever choice Playa makes, STAG begins destroying the Saints HQ[110][111]. When Shaundi is captured by Cyrus' second-in-command, Kia to be taken for question,[112] Playa uses Image As Designed to take on the appearance of Cyrus and takes Pierce and Viola as prisoners to the STAG's aircraft carrier the Thermopylae, where they rescue Shaundi and destroy the base[113]. However this increases STAG presence as they declare martial law in Steelport[114]. When Playa hijacks a plane containing new weapons that STAG is flying in, he uses Sonic Boom to try and get into the cockpit but ends up destroying it causing the plane to crash, so escapes in a Tank out the back and fights of attacking F-69 VTOLs attacking[115]. After hijacking a second tank in midair, Playa crashes onto Arapice Island, but falling corpses and debris destroys containers in the Ultor Chemical and Waste Disposal Plant, which releases a green gas that turns the dead corpses into zombies[116]. Playa and Viola go to see the Mayor of Steelport, who turns out to be Burt Reynolds, who asks for the Saints help in dealing with the zombie problem, which Playa happily accepts[117]. After arriving back on Arapice Island, Playa submerges three containers in the water, and after this is told to destroy a chemical truck by Reynolds, who offers to help the Saints and also SWAT Teams to being on their side as a favour for dealing with the problem, although Oleg phones and states that he can use the chemicals to create their own zombie army to help[118]. Whatever choice is made, Cyrus arrives along with STAG to deal with the remaining zombies[119].
Playa and Shaundi find out from Kinzie that Killbane has set the Saints up for the attack on the memorial bridge back in Steelport and begins badmouthing the Saints name on air[120]. Playa and Shaundi travel around Steelport to track down where the broadcast is coming from and then chase down Killbane's car in a helicopter, but before Shaundi can take a shot at him the helicopter malfunctions and crashes, causing Killbane to escape[121]. Playa steals a powerful computer from STAG before Matt Miller's Deckers get a hold of it[122] and then a chair from the Deckers in order to go up against them[123]. After this Playa enters into the Decker's usernet and faces off against Matt Miller's avatar and finally takes him down, but spares Matt's life when he offers to hack into a company to give Playa discounts, and will walk away, which Playa accepts.[49]
Playa meets with Viola, Shaundi and Pierce, and Viola reveals the best way to defeat Killbane is to unmask him at Murderbrawl and humiliate him and decide to kill off Killbane's upcoming opponents in order for Playa to enter into Murderbrawl and face Killbane[124]. Using a RC Possessor to control vehicles, Playa uses them on cars, boats and a helicopter containing wrestlers to kill them and make it look like an accident[125], which leaves Playa as a last opponent for Killbane. After getting Angel's mask back at the 3 Count casino and taking it over for the Saints[126] Playa helps Angel defeat Killbane at Murderbrawl, humiliating him[127].
During Playa's remaining takeover of Steelport, he manages to take over the Downtown[128], New Colvin[129], Carver Island[130] and Stanfield[131] districts, finally taking control of Steelport.
Endings
After the Murderbrawl match and Killbane's downfall, a war spirals out between the STAG and Killbane's Luchadores, so Playa, Pierce and Oleg travel around Steelport to help contain the attacks by killing off STAG and Luchadore members[46]. During this Playa gets a phone call from Angel saying Killbane is attempting to flee Steelport, but then gets another call from Kia that a monument will be blown up, which has fellow Saints in it along with Shaundi, Viola and Burt[132].
- Save Shaundi

Saints Row IV
- Main article: Saints Row IV
Some time after the "Save Shaundi" ending, Playa, along with Pierce and Shaundi, go on a joint counter-terrorist operation with Asha Odekar and her handler Matt Miller to take down Cyrus Temple, who has turned terrorist. But Playa finds that his combat suit's microphone was malfunctioning, rendering him unable to speak. Playa personally fights hand-to-hand with Cyrus, managing to kill him, but not before the former STAG commander launches a nuclear missile targeted for Washington D.C. Playa boards the missile and disables it mid-flight, leaping off it as it explodes and lands right in the Oval Office in the White House.[155]
Five years later, Playa is President of the United States of America, with Keith David as the Vice-President and members of the Saints as cabinet members.[156][157] Playa had impulsively angered half of America by publicly saying, "I'm the patron Saint of America. We should probably look to changing the Pledge of Allegiance to One Nation Under Me", to the annoyance of the other Saints. Just as Playa was about to attend a press conference to deal with this PR disaster, Shaundi informs him that Asha and Matt had arrived to warn them of an impending alien invasion since MI6 refused to believe them. Playa fails to take this seriously before actual aliens attack. Their leader, Zinyak, claims that the best and brightest among humanity shall be spared. As Kinzie quickly claimed to be smarter than everyone in the press room, the alien overlord beams her up. Playa and Shaundi attempt to rescue her but Secret Service pin him to the floor while Shaundi is captured. Playa shakes them off and runs through the White House as members of the Saints are abducted. Getting outside, Playa mounts an anti-air turret and begins shooting down UFOs, ultimately shooting down Zinyak's ship. Playa goes head-to-head with Zinayk but is defeated by the alien's superhuman powers.[157]
Playa later wakes up in what appears to be a 50s sitcom set in the city of Steelport, devoid of violence or foul language.Template:Ref? Playa realizes this when it starts glitching. He then hears Kinzie's voice, explaining that each of the Saints are imprisoned in their own virtual nightmares. She spawns weapons for Playa to cause disruption to the simulation. This draws the attention of Zinyak, who throws Playa into a Zin-dominated version of Steelport, threatening to destroy the Earth if he tries to escape.[158]
Nonetheless, Playa escapes with help from Kinzie and meets her and Keith as he escapes aboard a stolen Zin ship. But as they head back to Earth to gather reinforcements, Zinyak upholds his threat by destroying the planet. Determined to avenge the Earth, Playa goes back into the simulation to rescue the other Saints and find a way to get to Zinyak.[159] After saving the other saints with the help of C.I.D.,[160][161][42][162][163] Playa learns that Johnny Gat is still alive.[164] After being warned that rescuing Johnny will most likely reveal their location, Playa rescues Johnny from his personal nightmare of constantly losing Aisha and brings him to the ship.[165] After rescuing Johnny, Playa and his crew are ready to overload the simulation but is ambushed by Zinyak's army with Zinyak capturing Kinzie.Template:Ref? Playa then learns that Keith betrayed him and hid the MI6 agents in a closet to fool them in order to restore Earth.Template:Ref? Playa chases Keith David but is cornered by zen and was about to be killed until Keith pulled a heelface turn saving Playa.Template:Ref? With the help of Rowdy Roddy Piper, Playa saves Keith David and goes on to save Kinzie from the same 50s era nightmare he had been in before, where on the ship, she later punches him for mocking her in a poodle skirt.Template:Ref? Around the time after Playa rescues Matt Miller and to a point after he saves Kinzie, Playa does personal missions for the crew which gains them super powers similair to Playa.Template:Ref? With everyone rallyed, Playa leads a charge against Zinyak starting by overloading the simulation.Template:Ref? After the simulation is overloaded, Playa races to face Zinyak with power armor stolen from the Zin armory.Template:Ref?Template:Br
After a lengthly battle against Zinyak, Playa beheads Zinyak and takes over the Zin empire for himself.Template:Ref? Playa learns through Zinyak's servant Zinjai that the Zin have a way to time travel, allowing them to go back in time before the Earth was destroyed, as well as releasing Jane Austen.Template:Ref?
An alternate ending plays out if the player does not complete all the loyalty missions in which Playa does not learn about the Zin's time travel and their ability to return to Earth.Template:Ref?
Enter the Dominatrix
Playa is contacted by Kinzie to meet on the Ship after some 'deleted scenes' are uncovered and Jane Valderamma wants to give an interview concerning them. The scenes turn out to be that of the cancelled Saints Row: The Third DLC Enter the Dominatrix which was later merged with Saints Row IV.
In an alternative timeline to the Zin Invasion which takes place after the Kill Killbane Ending of Saints Row: The Third, Playa along with his lieutenants defend the 3 Count crib from attacking Zin invaders. After Josh Birk is killed Playa is contacted by Pierce - now Mayor of Steelport - who has managed to track down the location of the alien's leader Zinyak to the Syndicate Tower. Both of them head there and Playa easily takes down Zinyak with one shot before finishing them off with a bullet to the head.[166]
After Zinyak's death, a computer AI known as The Dominatrix takes over the Zin and kidnaps Playa along with the Saints, placing them into a virtual version of Steelport. Teaming up with Donnie and developing the ability of super powers, Playa begins taking down the Dominatrix.[167] During his quest, Playa rescues Shaundi and Pierce, reunites with Zimos[168] and they later destroy the Dominatrix.[169]
The Saints ally themselves with Raptors who where enemies of the Zin, and when their king Cirano asks for any requests, Playa asks him if they can go bowling, which Cirano accepts.Template:Ref?
Saints Row: Gat out of Hell
While hosting Kinzie's birthday party, Playa participates in playing with a ouija board with Kinzie, Matt, Shaundi, and Gat, to find out whom Playa should marry. Suddenly, the planchette starts moving on its own, spelling out "Jezebel" and Playa is sucked into a portal into Hell. As Jane Austen narrates, because Playa had caused the highest level of chaos and destruction in human history, Satan determined that the Saints leader is the ideal match for his daughter Jezebel.
For the entirety of the game, Playa is trapped in a Soul Crystal, unable to speak or move. But when Gat comes close to freeing Playa, Satan appears and holds Jezebel hostage, forcing Gat to surrender. This convinces Satan that Gat's in love with Jezebel and offered him a deal; if Johnny marries Jezebel, he would allow Kinzie to take Playa home. After Gat defeats Satan, the Devil banishes the humans and his daughter back onto their ship, where Playa introduces Jezebel as their new Homie.

In a trailer for Saints Row,[45] Playa has a small monologue:
- I started out with nothin'... just a kid from the streets, with nothin' to lose. Then I met Julius,[59] and everything changed. Once I joined the 3rd Street Saints, everything started going my way. I'd run some jobs, get paid, and lady luck was on my side. Now I have the women, the clothes, the rides, but it's not enough, I want more, I want it all. That's the great thing about this city, it's there for the taking. If you've got what it takes.

- — Male Voice 2 to Killbane during Murderbrawl XXXI
- Pierce: "Hey, I was thinking: we might die here. Anything you want to get off your chest?"Jane Eyre thirteen times!"Male 1: "I've read
Male 2: "I have an irrational fear of bees!"
Male 3: "I call chips "fries"!"
Female 1: "I'm on a coed Curling team!"
Female 2: "I want to make love with Pierce in front of a live studio audience!"
Female 3: "I collect glass unicorns!"- — During Three Way
Saints Row IV
In Saints Row IV, there are seven voices. Male Voice 1 (American), Male voice 2 (African-American), Male Voice 3 (British), Female Voice 1 (American), Female Voice 2 (French), Female Voice 3 (Southern), and Nolan North.
- When idle, Playa sometimes breaks the fourth wall by talking directly to the player. For example, Male Voice 2 may say, "Do you ever wonder if something really cool happens when you're not watching?" Female voice 1 has been observed saying "Hey, you. You there... we gonna play this game or what?" or even "Pick up the controller. Pick it up. PICK. Up the controller."
- 2 Shaundis. Man that's got to be someone's' fantasy.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- 2 Shaundis I can handle. 2 of Pierce, eh that would have been too much.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Man I can't tell if there are any female aliens, what you do, turn them over?
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Huh, it's like I'm inside a video game, wink.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Hope none of this goes to Kinzie's head.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- So whatever I destroy in The Simulation gets repaired, nice. Wait that always seems to be the case.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- If it's all a computer Simulation, how come we need a nuke plant?
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- I wander if this makes me emperor of the human race now.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Good thing Ultor didn't have space technology
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- What I wouldn't give for an Old Steele.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Couldn't they program in more strippers?
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Man I'd kill for some ChickenBazooms right now.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- I feel like this Simulation just can't get my hair right.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- You know, I'm not actually sure if Cid's male or not.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- Sex, drugs, crime, Zinyak sure programmed Steelport right.
- — Male 1 Playa's idle comment
- I've given Pierce a lot of shit over the years but, he's a good guy, a good guy to give a lot of shit to.
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- Hey, you there. Are you around? We playing this game or what?
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- Pick up the controller, pick it up, pick up the controller.
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- You know, I don't think I've seen a kid in Steelport, it's kind of weird isn't it?
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- I'm picking up some really strange vibes between Kinzie and Keith, hmm.
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- Ugh, I could really use some gum.
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- I miss Stilwater, there's no joke there I really do miss Stilwater.
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- The more I think about Zinyak, the more I hate that motherfucker.
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- What is it with people wearing hotdog suits?
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- Oh shit, did I just lock up? Am I stuck on this spot?
- — Female 1 Playa's idle comment
- So first I'm silent, then I'm an asshole, then I become world famous, then I topple a worldwide crime syndicate, then I defuse a nuke and kill a terrorist, then I'm elected president, and then I'm in an alien spaceship in outer space fighting space aliens in a simulation... I have the best life ever.
