Maya Characters misleading

[awewryte753687]

Can someone please explain to me how to create a "character" from a humanik, control rigged skeleton. The "character" that is selectable in the character controls window menu is apparently not a "character". If you look in the outliner after characterizing your skeleton, locking it, etc... the little Mia looking character icon does not appear. The word character1_* does appear which I assume is a some type of character that confuses things when trying to create clips, poses, etc. :cry:
