Can you transfer your story mode character to gta online?

The verified evidence describes Grand Theft Auto Online as a standalone online multiplayer game that is the online component of Grand Theft Auto V. While both share the same fictional state of San Andreas and open-world environment, the evidence does not mention any mechanism for transferring or importing the customizable protagonist from GTA V's story mode into GTA Online. GTA Online appears to operate independently with its own character creation system, as multiplayer games typically require separate character progression to maintain balance and fairness across players. Without explicit confirmation in the provided sources, there is no evidence supporting character transfer functionality between the single-player story mode and online mode.
