Think about popular fantasy or anime characters. Female amazons or archers are cool. Male adventurers or barbarians are a nice touch if you like the conan character. A wizard comes in handy for magic spells, maybe a female wizard that focuses on healing and support spells. Combine a party of characters like this and get a group similar to something out of Lord of The Rings or the Gauntlet videogame. As for anime, use fighter or ninja type characters and use the anime design for them to create new characters from the Naruto and inuyasha series. As for naming them, look for names you like from an anime series or fantasy book or movie. Or name them after yourself, friends, relatives, enemies, etc. I always do that for final fantasy games. Try to match the character model to it's 2D character during cutscenes. Like match a female knight 3D character model to a 2D adventurer model during cutscenes. They are different models but their appearances match up closely.

Can we move this to RPG Maker General or RPG Maker 3 Workshop, please?

Whoever moved it--thanks a bunch!!

I'd recommend either coming up with a monster in your head you'd like to have the characters fight, and then looking for something that fits it, or doing it the other way around--that is, looking through the models and saying "if I look at this a different way, what does it look like?"

I've got a "dungeon" that I wanted flora enemies in. But the Evil Tree just kills the whole mood of it. So I looked through each model and saw that the Jellyfish looked kind of like a mushroom. I'm using it as a nearly-sentient "fungus."

Then just think of all the crazy things that monster might be able to defend itself with, and as a bonus, you can even try to think out it's "place" in the world you created. What's it doing there? Does it congregate with any other creatures? Develop it from the ground up, and you can end up with some intriguing stuff.
