Looks pretty good to me, with the exeption of B-E-T-A's character carrying nothing, but her weapons and dragonborn being mispelled as human. 
I'm pretty darn sure that I picked a different character portrait for my cleric before sending it.  I figure that it's because of my computer being in Finnish. The character builder can't find the portrait because it's trying to get the file from "Omat tiedostot" instead of the English equivalient "My documents".
Or that's atleast what I'd wager...
I'll just post the portrait on another page so that this page doesn't get any more imagery.
Sorry about that  , the cleric's portrait don't look like a Dragonborn, honestly. However you said you changed it? Just send the picture to me like you sent the char, I re-edit your page with the correct picture and repost it, no problem. If you don't know how to send the picture just take a print screen and copy to paint, save JPEG and send it to me via imageshack link.
Edit: Done. There is your Dragonborn  .

I have a small criticism towards LD
Do you need con and wis?
I think your stats are very thinly spread and think it may be better to focus it. It's your choice obviously. I'm just saying 
okay, but you definitely don't need charisma. you have no skill or power that needs charisma.
i was not sure which was best and i thought charisma was needed for interaction...
i wasnt sure what the average hp# for a rogue would be and i didnt want to be rezed after each fight
il just change it then...( to be added soon)
and thats not my portrait, i made a custom one but i guess it didnt make it...

Most of your powers require dex, You need strength for your main specialty (maybe you should just choose powers that need strength, so you can abandon dexterity and take constitution instead of that?) and as a rogue you usually need int for your skills, but I don't know entirely how it works in 4th ED...
about interaction: I think charisma will mean little in the end, because you still don't have diplomacy as a skill. I'm not saying you should pick diplomacy

Your main att should be DEX no doubt so you did well in changing it to 20. your secondary ATTs are STR and CHA, and they will affect future powers you may choose granting different modifiers. You are going to have to choose on either boosting strength and damage, or bennefit from the secondary effects of some powers in the future in bosting charisma. As you are are all starting I recommend you keep DEX at 20 and bost your strength. You don't need 12 intelligence too, so you could take out those 2 points from there and further boost strength or add some to your charisma so you don't have penalties when rolling future powers. Also choose powers when you have level up that have relation to your highest attributes.
Also the custom picture was not sent along the char file for some reason. However you can send the pic you want for your char to me and I add it in.

He can keep brutal scoundrel since DEX will be the base for all his attack rolls in all his powers s it needs to be high. Brutal Scoundrel gives him a bonus to sneak attack damage with his strength modifier, so it would be good to further imrpove his strenght. All the rogue stuff like open locks, disarm traps are related to DEX too. Charisma is for a rogue build geared towards more abluffing rogue that tries to get stealt via bluff instead of stealth skill and diplomacy but that's not needed, since Keksimaton's Char, Balasar, is trained in Diplomacy and has +6 to all diplomacy rolls.
Also the other option he has besides "Brutal Scoundrel" is "Artful Dodger" that gies a bonus to Armor Class equivalent to is charisma modifier. I don't recommend it since damage is more important and his AC is reasonable enough already because he got lot's of DEX. Also e bought basic cloting as armor, he sould uy some leather armor instead (it will give +2 to his AC).
I know he is trying to roleplay his character, a farmboy that fled home so he would not have this equipment ready. Remember to buy it later though.
Also remember that to imrpove the use of 2 weapons, one on each hand, in combat, you need the Two-Weapon Fighting feat that will unlock related feats in the feature.
Edit: Updated lucky_dwarf's char, Terence, with the pictures of the latest char sheet he sent me. Tell me what custom picture you want and I put it there too.

Well, seing as you obviously can't read the story on my character sheet I'll post it here:
Being the daugther of a rich merchant, Kiyamera used to be a spoiled brat who usually got everything she pointed at. One day she met a ranger on a ball, and was amazed by the exciting stories of the dangerous and craving life as one of Melona's rangers. That night she decided to abandon her family and seek out to live a life in a adventure out in the wild.
Kiyamera seeks the truest of all immortalities - Historical immortality. To be remembered for all eternity in the songs of bards as the greatest adventurer of all time. That is Kiyamera's greatest desire.
Kiyamera knows how to be both polite and playful, but she is also greedy and has hard for understanding the concept of "no" and often gets angry when she does not get what she wants. She also have alot of pride, and will not let anyone talk down on her, even if it's clear that they are her superior. She believes herself to be the queen of the bow, and dares anyone to prove that they are better than her. Whenever she is defeated she gets pissed off for atleast a few days later and she does not like hearing about her defeat.
Kiyamera is clothed in a fine dark green elven cloak, and wears leather armor in the colors of the autum, which is her favorite season.
Her long hair is a mix between orange and yellow, and her eyes are deep brown.
My Deity is Melora.
And I also bought an Adventurer's kit now.
Everyone happy?

Ok will add now to the post with sheets.
“And I also bought an Adventurer's kit now.”
You need to buy arrows my friend, you bought 2 arrows (as it says there "arrows" I'll assume there are only 2 arrows). Buy quivers with 30 arrows they stack and are cheap.
@lucky-dwarf
“I like the first picture better”
All right then I’ll try adding it to your sheet whilst keeping a good resolution to it.

I bought 30 arrows I mind you. Why it seems like it's only one you must not ask me, but on my character builder I bought 30.
Edit: I now went in on the character builder and bought quivers of 30 arrows to I got 600 of em.

Uhm strange. Ok then, since my builder can't read your char you tell me all the additional stuff you buy, if any. I'll keep it saved here on my personal notes. I have it there you have 600 arrows then.
Edit: Updated page 2 of lucky_dwarf's char with his new char portrait and B-E-T-A's char backgrund too.

Yeah, I'll keep you notified. Now, if you have done your math correctly, you should have 9gold on your replica of my character.
Also, I got a question: even if I am a archer ranger, can I still dual-wield or do I now recuire the feat to get it?

Good question. The direct answer is no. On fourth edition only Rangers specialized on two-weapon fighting can fight with one weapon in each hand and make 2 attacks on the same turn, with each of his two weapons. That is until a new class appears or rules are changed. The two-weapon fighting feat that is available for any to choose on char building only provides bonus for your main attack if you are carrying two weapons, but that feat doesn't allow you to fight with two weapons at the same time, making two attacks on the same turn in combat.
In other words, if you are not a specialized ranger and bought two weapons and equiped one in each hand you will not be able to use two-weapon attacks, as per rules I read on Player's Handbook just yesterday, when I was thinking about it, even if you have two-weapon fighting feat, that feat, as I said, only gives you bonus for the attack of your choice (one of the 2 weapons) on your turn when carrying two weapons, one in each hand. If I posted on a previous post something different than that regarding two-weapon fighting, just ignore it since those are outdated rules. You can equip one weapon on each hand with any character but that only allows you to choose which weapon you are going to use to make an attack or use a power.
That feat is not a complete waste however, some classes like the rogue *tip tip* can use one-handed crossbows (Hand Crossbow) in one hand and a regular melee weapon on another hand and that is useful because some of the rogue's powers are both melee and ranged. So you can attack from far away and engage on melee at your discretion. Rogues get sneak attacks with ranged crossbow attacks too so you don't need to be behind the enemy or something like that for a sneak attack to work. As explained before you just need to have combat advantage or be hidden after a sucessful stealth skill check and attack.

Aye
Unfotunately the new power system limits the use of two-weapon fighting because, now that every attack is a power, using two-weapon fighting with any character would mean you make 2 of that same power/attack on the same turn, messing with the new mechanics. So they made only one class with very specific powers to be used with two-weapon fighting (the specialized ranger), that way they kept a feature (two-weapon fighting) out for all the classes but 1, in order to make the game mechanics easier to balance.
Anyways, it is not perfect. But it's worth it.
