If you have obtained a wanted level during a mission you will automatically lose your wanted level upon successfully completing the mission unless losing your wanted level is part of the mission. This is helpful to remember when you're nearing the end of a mission and you accidentally bump into a cop car. As long as the police presence isn't keeping you from completing your mission, just ignore them and complete the mission.

Once you've completed a mission, if you want to give it another go, you can replay missions from the pegboard in any of your safe houses. Redoing a mission won't affect your completion percentage or other stats; it's just for the joy of reliving all of those fun, hoodlum moments. Obviously, you won't get any of the mission rewards again either so don't be thinking you're on your way to riches by playing the same missions over and over.

Random Characters

There are eight random characters and 14 total jobs to be done for the characters. Many of the jobs are simple "drive from point A to point B" missions, but some have interesting twists as well. One even nets you a safehouse. Lucky you. To start a random character mission, drive to the place where the character should be, and the character icon will show up on your GPS. Approach the character and you'll automatically start a conversation and the mission as well. Then just do what the mission demands and you'll be on your way.
