Project TR - RPG Maker VX experience anyone?

Before I start, NO, this has nothing to do with TR: The Game. I was bored one morning and decided to start programming.

So I am going to create a short RPG called "TR - the aftermath" telling the story of a young noob, finding the ruins of the TR base, he sees how the guild fell (invading forces and betrayal, all told throughout a few cutscenes), and then seeks out the bad guy who did it to bring him to justice. I am using RPG Maker VX, and here is why I am posting this in the sandbox:
A) rpg maker IS a rather popular program, and I am looking for someone out there who has had some experience with it, because I really need a few tips in the coding department (I don't get switches :().
B) I need a sprite (not a pixel figure, a model of your character from every direction, BUT pixeled xD) of your character so I can implement him. Finding lord zombie fx is easy. Just look for an undead with fancy clothes. But finding a leprachaun with kaotics hair....well.....
this is a sprite fx

If you can find one that looks a bit like your char, I can add it to the cutscenes xD (this is a good place to start)

I've worked an hour up until now, heres the result (a quick battle test with lord Zombie and a few halls :P)

errrrr........... well I DO have some multi color sprites from a game I made once, if you want those... Other than I'm pretty good at recolors, so if you need a monster done in 50 different color sets then im your guy =P

I was thinking of doing this too and..I tried but making a TR RPG in game maker is hard.
