Character Copy and Give to player as GM

I had an idea on how to do character sheet handouts, but I'm not sure if it is possible. If I, as the GM, create a blank sheet with the needed variables and precalculated rolls, is there a way to copy the character and give them to a player to fill out the variables?
Yep. What I generally do is come up with a Basic Character Template, which has all kinds of stuff as Attributes, which the players can fill out as needed. Then I go thru and set up macros as Abilities, which reference those Attributes. Players generally will come up with their own flavor text, and different Abilities depending on their character type... typical ones I set up are things like Initiative, Perception, Saving throws, and a basic Melee and Ranged attack. Then you just make a copy of the BCT, rename it for the player's character, and give them edit control and boom, done.
