Hi! I’m new to this whole thing, and I need some help with making the player character, so if anyone knows how to put the character on screen and all of that, it would really help.

Hi, as a first step you should read the first chapters of the manual/help.
If you never programmed before, then my BASIC tutorial should help, too (find it here on the Help page)

1) open up a new program, and look at the top right corner for 4 buttons...
an up page, a draw page, a magnifying glass, and a triangle..
Click the draw page button... then select CHAR DESIGNER
2) at the bottom left you see #001, this means you are editing char#001
Use the big black area in the upper left to edit your character... use black, dark gray,gray, and white buttons to select a differerent color to draw with..
Tap the DISK button, then the SAVE button to save your character
Now click the little x button in the very top left corner to exit back
3) you will now see...
#2:MAIN CHARACTERS
00000000000000000000000000000000
00003020261E661C00000E080A02661C
Your #'s may be different, but this is how NX saves your characters... add empty text space ABOVE this and add this code...
CELL 5,5,1
#2:MAIN CHARACTERS
00000000000000000000000000000000
00003020261E661C00000E080A02661C
4) now hit the triangle button at the top right corner to run your program,...
... and PRESTO, your designed character is on the screen :D

If you are on pc, run your game, press ESC, then go press the Edit button, then press CHAR DESIGNER.

If you are on windows, use Notepad++ instead of Notepad(there is a bug with Notepad, use any text editor that supports non-windows new-line characters).
