One of the ways I want to work is to be able to create characters and save them off so I could later include them in scenes.

To create a character, you would load in the base model. Below is the base Victoria3 model.  Doesn't look very realistic, does it?

To change the look of Victoria3, you would apply a "morph pose" to her.  There are many built-in morphs and you can buy additional morph packs for Victoria3.  Below are some eye morph injections for Victoria3.  If I select the head of Victoria3 and double click one of the eye morphs, it places a new parameter on the Parameter Tab for Victoria3's head.

For example, in the Parameter Tab for Victoria3's head, I adjusted the “EyesSmall” morph dial to make Victoria3's eyes smaller and the “EyesCornerDn” to raise the corner of her eyes.  I can change many other parameters for Victoria3 to give her a different look.  In fact, it's amazing how different you can make Victoria3 look just by adjusting these parameters.

But it still doesn't look very realistic. Now we add some texture to her.  I do this by going back to the Content Tab and selecting a texture to apply to Victoria.  The texture that I selected is from the “International Beauties” package I purchased from Daz Productions.

Wow! What a difference. Now it's beginning to look real.

You can add hair and clothing to finish things up.  Now I have a new character and I can save it off by selecting "Save As.. Scene.." from the file menu.

The cool thing is that many people have created really gorgeous characters from the base models that you can purchase.  It's fun looking over the product catalogs looking for new characters that others have created and finding one that would be just perfect for a character you have in mind for a story!
