ok this has nothing to do w/rpg maker but..
 

ok does anyone know what kind of program i need in order to make a character? like a fighting game i want to make a few characters like that but i do not know what programs i need help?

I assume we are talking about 2D sprites and not 3D models.

MS Paint - Learn the secrets of paint, you'll like it once you know them.
Photoshop - Always a top-notch choice.
GraphicsGale - When you only have $30-or-so dollars to spare | Also, a pretty good program | There is a free edition
Gimp - Haven't used it much myself, but I heard it's pretty good and free.
