Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but I have NO IDEA how to make a character! I've read the tutorials, but I can't find it ANYWHERE! ???
Please help me! I'm lost! :'(
this link should answer your question:

Technically: Firstly you need to draw the character graphics in a paint program, then go into AGS's sprite manager and import the images, then go the the View section, create a new view and set up the images in the animation loops, then go to the Character editor and make a new character, set it's normal view to that view you made, set the room it should start in and it's coordinates and you have a fully working character in AGS.
Creatively: it's much harder to make a good character.. just ripping off good ones you've seen around the place can be a good idea at first ;) There are some good tutorials around like the one just posted you can find.
I think he didn't know how to make-import-character-into-AGS thingy, since this thread was in beginner's tech forum before it's moved here.
This is a quite general and elementary AGS questions (which everyone should find the answer easily), but to sum up, it involves like:
1. Draw teh character's graphics and save them as BMP/PCX (well now TGA and PNG for alpha blanded sprites).
2. Import the graphics into your game as sprites.
3. make Views and loops out of the sprites.
4. assign the view(s) to a character or create a new one.
