My understanding is that the acolyte is all that is available in the SRD.  That is all that is available in the charactermancer unless you have bought other books like the PHB on Roll20 so that they are integrated into the charactermancer/compendium.  There is nothing stopping you from just creating the character by hand, and typing things in if you have the book in front of you though.

The  5th Edition SRD Compendium  can only contain information (such as race and class options, feats, spells, treasure, monsters, etc.) that is located within WoTC's  Systems Reference Document . Anything else from the core books is licensed material, meaning that players must pay in some way in order to have access to it. You could purchase the physical core books and enter information by hand, or buy them through Roll20 which would give you automated access. Unless you purchase the material, you are limited to the free material provided in the SRD, which is what you see when you come to Roll20. This means you have access to the one sample background in the SRD, the one sample feat, one each of each sub-class archetype, a (generous) selection of spells, and so forth. If WoTC releases more SRD content under an Open Gaming License, you can count on that being added to the Compendium.
