You have to draw your Char and they do each one for walking and talking etc.
Then you load them in to the frames in the View manager.Then you make a new char in the char manager, after you do that just click the drop downlist above your char (will show ego right now) and point the char to the New Frames View you made.

There are only certain filetypes that you can use. In paint save it as a .png file, which AGS can use. GIF's can be used as well.

And please, read the manual, and check out the tutorial.

Read the BFAQ (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/index.php/Graphics%2C_Characters%2C_Text_%26_Rooms#Importing_.CHA_files_from_Photoshop.2FPaint_to_AGS).
What do you mean by 'it won't load the character'? You have to load the graphics into AGS, then assign them to a view - the 'Import Character' button is for .cha files that have been exported from AGS, not for creating whole new characters.

If you didn't...then you should. You have to import the sprites into the Sprite Manager, then assign them to a view, then you can set the appropriate views for the character. The BFAQ (http://americangirlscouts.org/agswiki/index.php/Graphics%2C_Characters%2C_Text_%26_Rooms#Importing_.CHA_files_from_Photoshop.2FPaint_to_AGS) explains how to do this.

You've got the making of the character, or you've got the "reading what people tell you"? :P

Glad that I appear to have helped...even if I did just repeat exactly what someone else said...
