I think he wants to know how to set up new views, not just the idle view.

Every character, even if it is "just" an NPC, has a view assigned. When you create a new character without changing their view, they will indeed all look the same.

So, after creating the new character, check his settings pane and, in "Normal View", enter the number of the view that has the graphics for this character.

I only go near metroids that *have* a helmet that's secured to my head.
