Main Character Development

I haven't been able to get too much done lately, but I have established how I want to create the RPG; I'll be focusing mainly on the interactive parts- characters, weapons, monsters, items, etc- before I begin elaborating on the story or start making maps. Right now I'm mainly focusing on what RPG Maker calls the "Database", which is where all of these things can be modified. I'm still feeling overwhelmed as to where I can start- for now, all I can really do is mess around and see if something comes out of chance, or wait for inspiration to hit.
