Can you import your character from story mode to gta online?

Grand Theft Auto Online is a standalone online multiplayer component that operates independently from Grand Theft Auto V's single-player story mode. While both games take place in the same fictional San Andreas world, Online does not provide any character transfer or import feature from story mode. When players access GTA Online, they create and customize a new character specifically for the online experience. The story mode protagonists (Michael, Franklin, and Trevor) exist only in the single-player campaign and have no presence or data transfer capability into the online component. This separation ensures that online gameplay remains distinct from the narrative-driven single-player experience.
