Hi Lawrence. I believe what you're actually asking is, "How do I fill-in my character sheet?" / "How do I make a character"? Do you know what game-system you want to start playing on Roll20? (On Roll20 the actual blank character sheets for different games are created by community members... often when people ask about Making a character sheet they're actually asking about the Code for building a new blank character sheet to put in the system for everyone's use, and I think that's not what you are asking about). The answer is, it depends on what Game System you are playing (D&D, Pathfinder, FATE, etc).... and secondly, it depends on your GM (Game Master). You usually want to ask your GM for their specific instructions or tweaks on character creation... after you get accepted into a play-group. Since you're new at this kind of gaming, I understand if you want to make a character for practice, before you get into an actual game with a GM. Just remember that the GM may have different requirements so you can't always expect to import a character you pre-made. In order to make your first character for playing or for practice, you first need to decide on a Game System that you want to play and get the basic rules, core rules, or Player's Handbook of that game. It's usually a book or PDF called Player's Handbook or Core Rules or Basic System or some title like that, depending on the game system. That book will explain how to create a character (not specific to Roll20). Once you know how to do that, Roll20 is just filling in those same stats, but in a campaign on this site, on a blank form called a Character Sheet. Look at some of the "Crash Course" videos and New Player tips pages in the Roll20 Help Wiki, <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Main_Page" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Main_Page</a>

one option is go to the Looking For Group search tool and choose Pathfinder or some edition of D&D under the game system options, and click Welcomes New Players. Run that search and see what comes up. You can apply to be a player for a game or ask a GM questions through that. As far as giving advice on what game systems to try, there are so many systems, it sounds like you have an idea of what you want, but that question can best be asked & answered on a different website. For example Reddit has an RPG section you could ask or research what games to start with. The ones you have in-mind are quite popular but there are many varieties.
hmm okay thank you! if you ever start a game up and need another player let me know! lol
