For anyone interested in creating their own characters or modifying existing wmf characters check out this free addon for powerpoint 2010/2013 at http://www.comp.nus.edu.sg/~pptlabs/ Amongst other things it has a shapes library which means you can import a wmf file, ungroup it and change colours or save sets of expressions etc within powerpoint and then re-add those saved shapes of eyes, nose mouth etc to other characters in another presentation. It does amazing things with animations and highlights, captions and audio etc and is a real asset for those working with both powerpoint and articulate storyline and/or studio products.
I've pasted just a small sample of a character I have changed using the shapes library from pptlabs. I did these very quickly but you can see the idea. This way you can make your own character sets and import them as images into storyline and use the change states options to change expressions and poses. I hope this helps someone.
