Do gta v story characters carry over to online?

Grand Theft Auto V's single-player story follows three protagonists: Michael De Santa, Franklin Clinton, and Trevor Philips. These characters exist solely within the narrative-driven single-player experience and are not present in GTA Online. GTA Online is a separate multiplayer mode that launches after the main story and features a different set of characters and progression systems. Players create and develop their own avatar in Online, which operates independently of the story protagonists. The evidence confirms that while the fictional world of Los Santos and San Andreas is shared between both modes, the story characters remain confined to the single-player campaign.
