Create a campaign. Add characters to the campaign and then unassign them. Invite owner of the other account to join the campaign. They can then claim the characters.
Does this work if one of the accounts is not a paid account? For instance, I have a paid account where I am the DM and my account is paid. I wish to invite players to join a campaign where I have pre-generated characters. I want them to be able to select the character they decide to play and then that gets COPIED / IMPORTED into their account.

Paid/unpaid doesn’t matter when it comes to claiming characters in a campaign. If you want to keep a copy of the pregens for yourself, you need to make copies before adding to the campaign. (Only add one copy of a given character to the campaign: keep the other in your account). When the players claim a character, it is placed in their account and removed from yours.
one place a paid vs. Free account does matter is that free accounts have a limit of 6 characters. Meaning each person can have 6 characters total in their account. Campaigns can have more than that, regardless of free vs. Paid.

Yes, but they're claiming the character, it's not copied. It becomes their character.
Free accounts can only have six characters. If someone can't claim a character it's probably because they're at the limit.
Hi I know Im a year late to this decision however I would hope that you can help me out. So what your saying is that if I make a campaign and put my caricatures into that campaign I can join that campaign and take the caricatures from that campaign and have them stored on a different account regardless of wether I own the rules needed to make that caricature as long as I don't go over my caricature slots?
I keep 6 characters on this account and then have three mule accounts for storing other characters. (I do keep one slot free overall though so that I can do the swaps.) I've also found that if you keep all your extra characters in a campaign DMed by your main account you can also, for the most part, seamlessly edit the ones where you don't own the content although there are a couple edge cases where things get wonky.
i need to transfer some of my characters to a new account, is this possible?

but how do you un-assign the character? i don't see that as an option other than, "create an unassigned character".
nevermind i figured it out :)

Yep. That works and it's what I do.
