How do story mode characters appear in gta online?

Grand Theft Auto V offers two distinct play experiences: the single‑player story mode and the multiplayer mode, GTA Online. The characters that drive the narrative in story mode are tied to that single‑player campaign and are not carried over to the online world. In GTA Online, players create and use their own avatars, and the game’s narrative events involve a different set of characters and missions that are exclusive to the online environment. As a result, story‑mode characters do not appear in GTA Online, and the multiplayer experience does not incorporate them.
