If you have a chance read this book: Bancroft, Tony.: Creating characters with personality : for film, TV, animation, video games, and graphic novels
It's useful of getting understanding about how to start creating original characters for visual media and what is the main principles of process ( like script, story, scene, etc.,). Also it's not boring has got loads of illustrations, so even if you don't like books I'm sure you will enjoy reading this one.
Though it's much harder to create original character than it looks like, espeacially if you never done it before and skills for the software ( 3d max ) are just as a beginner's.
I had to think about who are my audience ( in my case most probably - kids, maybe some soft adults lol ), about my characters functionality and a what part he plays in the story. Talking about the story. i've tried to write a script, but got only the very beginning and kinda stopped, just lost the inspiration and i'm short of time, hope i can finish it some time...
