You should use location, but not path in error_page:

error_page 502 /opt/www/charactr/current/public/502.html;

error_page 502 /502.html;

loction = /503.html {
# the root is iherited from server level
#root /opt/www/charactr/current/public/;
}

Instead of

location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;

if (-f $request_filename/index.html) {
rewrite (.*) $1/index.html break;
}

if (-f $request_filename.html) {
rewrite (.*) $1.html break;
}

if (!-f $request_filename) {
proxy_pass http://charactrapp;
break;
}
}

it's better to use

location / {
try_files $uri/index.html $uri.html $uri @charactrapp;
}

location @charactrapp {
proxy_pass http://charactrapp;

proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header X-Forwarded-For $proxy_add_x_forwarded_for;
proxy_set_header Host $http_host;
proxy_redirect off;
}

Also, if you use 0.7.x, it's better to use

gzip_disable msie6;

instead of

gzip_disable "MSIE [1-6]\.";
