GTA Online Protagonist

The Online Player, also known as a Multiplayer Character (the exact name can be changed by the player), is the main and playable character in Grand Theft Auto Online.

The Online Player can be created according to the taste of the player to customize (Gender, Age or Appearance), which has a certain similarity with the Character Editor of "The Sims" or the "Saints Row" series.

First Appearance
The player is first seen within the initial cinematic tutorial in Grand Theft Auto Online meeting Lamar Davis when he picks the player up after his arrival in Los Santos from the Los Santos International Airport. They both enter Lamar's vehicle, where he gives the player a Pistol and welcomes them to the city. When the character is female, a different cutscene is shown and Lamar will try to get romantically involved with her but ultimately fails.

Parents
Here are well-known characters from the GTA series and other Rockstar Games titles, which can be selected by the owners as parents:

Male

 * Claude (Grand Theft Auto III)
 * Niko Bellic (Grand Theft Auto IV)
 * John Marston (Red Dead Redemption)

Female

 * Misty (Grand Theft Auto III)

Appearances
Grand Theft Auto Online
 * As the protagonist, he/she appears in all missions.

Trivia

 * John Marston is the only non-GTA character to be a parent choice
 * Ironically the Online Player is technically mute or never speaks, making him/her identical to Claude's (who is also mute) personality.
 * The only piece of sound the player makes is coughing after using a Bong.
 * It seems the idea of a non-voice character came to the fact that players can give voice to their characters through microphone, highly noticeable during the shop hold ups, where players can shout to the cashiers to hurry filling the bag of money.
 * Claude ironically as well, can be used as a parent though this still wouldn't be canon.
