Can story mode characters be used in grand theft auto online?

The Wikipedia entry for Grand Theft Auto Online describes it as an online multiplayer action‑adventure game developed by Rockstar North and published by Rockstar Games. It explains that the game is the online component of Grand Theft Auto V, set in the fictional state of San Andreas, and that it allows up to 30 players to roam its open world and engage in cooperative or competitive modes. No information is given about the transfer or use of story mode characters within the multiplayer environment. Because this specific detail is absent from the source, we cannot confirm or deny the possibility of using story mode characters in GTA Online based on the evidence at hand.
