Best FiveM Multicharacter Script

Why servers run a multicharacter system

A multichar sits between the connection deferral and the spawn. It reads the player identifier, lists the characters attached to it, and lets the player pick one, create a new one in a free slot, or delete one for good. Everything downstream, money, job, inventory, appearance, is keyed to the character row it hands back to the framework, not to the player. That is the whole point: one Rockstar licence, several separate lives. It also happens to be the first screen anyone sees on your server, before the map, before the UI, before a single roleplay interaction. A flat NUI list of names does the job. It just does not say anything about the server. That first impression is the same reason people bother with a custom loading screen instead of the default one.

What actually matters when you compare them

Four things decide whether a FiveM multicharacter script fits your server, and price is not one of them. First, the slot model: a global config number is fine until you want to give one player more, so check whether slots live in their own database table keyed by identifier or in a single config value. Second, the appearance bridge: the script has to load and save skins through whatever you already run, meaning esx_skin, qb-clothing, fivem-appearance or illenium-appearance, otherwise you are gluing two systems together yourself. Third, the creation and deletion flow: creation should chain straight into a character creator without a black screen in between, and deletion should be irreversible only after a typed confirmation, because a misclick that wipes a 200 hour character is a support ticket you will remember. Fourth, framework coverage: ESX plus QBCore covers most servers, but QBox and vRP are where several vendors differentiate.

One more thing worth knowing before you shop: half the market sells multichar and spawn selector as a single package. Quasar, CodeM Venice and atiysu all bundle them. If your server already has a spawn system you are paying for something you will disable, and if it does not, buying the pair is usually cheaper than buying two scripts. Check which side you are on first.

The free options, and when they are enough

Start here honestly: for a large number of servers the framework version is enough, and you should not spend money until you know why you are spending it. esx_multicharacter ships inside esx_core under the GPL. It gives four slots by default and exposes Config.Slots, Config.CanDelete, Config.Prefix, Config.Spawn and a /relog toggle. qb-multicharacter on the QBCore GitHub sets Config.DefaultNumberOfCharacters = 5 and adds Config.PlayersNumberOfCharacters, a table that overrides the limit per Rockstar licence. That last one matters: it means QBCore servers can already hand extra slots to specific players without buying anything, just by editing a config table by hand.

What you do not get for free is presentation, a database-backed per-player slot count you can write to from a Tebex webhook, staff commands to disable a single character rather than delete it, and an appearance bridge that covers frameworks other than the one the resource was written for. If none of those sentences describe a problem you currently have, run the free one and spend the money on ESX scripts or QBCore scripts that change how your server actually plays.

The 2026 multicharacter market, priced

Prices below were read from the vendor stores in August 2026 and are base prices in EUR before the permanent discount banners most of these shops run, so treat them as the shape of the market rather than today's checkout total. Two entries are worth flagging: STG sells the escrow and open source builds at the same price, which nobody else does, and Quasar sells no open source variant at all.

One absence is deliberate. rcore, often named in the same breath as these vendors, does not sell a standalone multicharacter selector: their character work lives in their appearance and clothing package with a built-in creator. If you were looking for an rcore multichar, it is not a thing, and the closest equivalent is buying an appearance system separately.

Escrow, open source, and the 3x tax

Search volume for "fivem multicharacter escrow" usually comes from one worry: that escrow means a black box you cannot configure. It does not. Escrow is the Cfx.re asset protection that encrypts the core Lua and ties the resource to the licence that bought it, while the config file, the locale strings and the framework bridge stay editable in plain text. You set slots, spawn coordinates, skin manager and wording normally. The only thing you cannot do is rewrite the selection logic.

What is worth knowing is the price of that rewrite. Across this segment the open source build of the same script costs two and a half to four times the escrow one: izzy goes from 11.40 to 28.20 EUR, atiysu from 21.59 to 71.99 EUR, and CodeM Venice from 18.00 to 72.00 EUR, a clean 4x. Unless you have a developer who is genuinely going to open those files, escrow is the rational buy and the difference pays for two more scripts.

Where Var-MultiChar fits, and where it does not

Var-MultiChar takes one clear position: the selection screen is not an NUI panel, it is the game. It forces the player into the native v_mugshot police line-up interior and renders each character on the GTA mugshot board scaleform, with the ped standing under the height chart and the name, job and bank balance printed on the board. Getting past two characters required shipping custom mugshot_board_03 and mugshot_board_04 assets, which is why the slot ceiling is four. That is the trade: a look nothing else in the table reproduces, capped at four slots.

Under the surface it is built for the operational cases the free versions skip. Slots live in their own multicharacter_slots table keyed by identifier, so /setslots and /remslots change one player without touching the config, and /disablechar suspends a single character instead of deleting it, which is what you want for a moderation case rather than a ban. It blocks a second connection on the same identifier at the deferral stage, migrates the identifier columns to the right VARCHAR length at boot so the character prefix fits, and can auto-login players straight onto their last used character when you would rather skip the screen entirely. Deletion asks the player to type a confirmation word before it runs the transaction. Appearance goes through esx_skin, qb-clothing, fivem-appearance or illenium-appearance, and creation chains directly into Var-Creator, the character creator with the identity form, photo mode and per-player routing buckets, so an empty slot becomes a finished identity without a second resource negotiating the handoff.

The honest gaps, since the table above sets the bar: there is no spawn selector, and four vendors in that list bundle one. The locale is a single English table, where STG ships sixteen languages. Framework coverage stops at ESX and QBCore, so QBox and vRP servers should look at izzy, Sotek or STG instead. And the four slot cap is a hard ceiling, not a config number you can raise. If your server needs six slots and a spawn menu, buy something else. If you want the connection screen to look like the player is being booked into Mission Row and you are running ESX or QBCore, this is the only one in the segment doing it natively.

Selling extra character slots

Extra slots are one of the safer things to put on a Tebex store, because a slot is convenience rather than power, which is the line Cfx.re draws. The technical requirement is the per-player slot row described above: your Tebex package fires a command after checkout, the command writes the new slot count against the buyer identifier, and the multichar reads that row instead of the global default on the next connect. Var-MultiChar exposes this through a config flag and the same slots table the admin commands use, Quasar sells it as premium and VIP slots, and STG calls it Tebex key integration. Where this sits in a wider revenue mix, what converts and what gets a server in trouble, is covered in the FiveM server monetization guide.
