Well lets see

1. To make your own characters.
You could model them in a 3d cad and render them.
Draw them on paper and scan them then use the scetch and texture it.
You can buy a Graphic pad and draw then digitaly.

2. make a map editor
Yes this can be done. There are a few games in the source code database that hve level editors. But i doubt it would be easier to make levels. Because you have to learn to make them in the first place in order to learn to make the level editor.

I would read about how this is being done online more.
Google is your friend.

I would use Anim8or to make my characters. If you can get Poser, that is also good for making characters. Or draw them on paper, and scan them into an art package, then colour them. I have used all of the above.
