Are we able to create our own character sheets?

New to Roll20 so I thought I would ask, are we not able to create our own character sheets. I want to run a Shadowrun game but I do not like the Shadowrun character sheet that is available on this game and would like to use a different one. I cannot find any information about whether or not it is possible to create my own sheet and if so, how I do it.
Custom Character sheet creation is limited to a subscription. I don't recall whether it is a Plus or Pro level subscription though.

The GM of a game with a Pro level subscription can use custom sheets.  You can either create your own, edit someone else's, or use any current or past version of a sheet by grabbing the code from the roll20 github repository.  All player's regardless of subscription will get to use whatever sheet the GM has picked for the game.   In truth, you don't have to use a character sheet on roll20.  Although it's more work, anyone can create/use attributes, macros, handouts, character journal bio, etc. to create a  working system for their game.  It's actually how roll20 used to function prior to the introduction of character sheets.  ;-)
Okay thanks. Good to know. I will probably end up signing up for a Pro subscription anyway. I have been dying to get back into tabletop roleplaying ever since I got hold of my new copy of Shadowrun 4th Edition.

What don't you like about the Shadowrun character sheet? Another option would be to reach out to the existing sheet author and see if the changes you're looking for might benefit everyone, getting them incorporated into the community sheet.
Actually, I have just seen the 5th Edition Advanced Character sheet and that I quite like. I will have to go through it with a fine toothed comb first to see if anything is incompatible with the 4th Edition game. I know the 4th Edition of Shadowrun the best and would run my games with the 4th Edition Rules.

Something to be aware of, if you decide to go Pro and want to create a custom character sheet, it's done using HTML and CSS. I mention that, because some people get upset once they go pro and find that out.  Although, I wouldn't let that be a deterrent...it seems many of the sheet authors learned by just jumping in and copying code from existing sheets. :)

I would recommend using Roll20 for a considerable time before becoming a Pro subscriber. I used it through 2014 as a Free account before getting a Pro subscription in 2015. By then I was very sure I wanted the Pro perks.
