Can a gta v character be used in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online is the online multiplayer component of Grand Theft Auto V, released by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. In GTA Online, players control a customisable silent protagonist rather than the three main characters from the single‑player story mode. The game’s design allows players to create a new avatar, choose appearance, clothing, and other traits, and then use that avatar to play across the open world of San Andreas. Because the online mode operates separately from the single‑player narrative, the original characters—Michael, Franklin, and Trevor—are not available for use in multiplayer sessions. Players must therefore generate a distinct character to participate in the various online missions, races, heists, and other activities.
