Log into SC and locate the "Member Center" on the righthand side of the storycrafter.com homepage.
Click on the link that reads "Manage Characters".
You should then be in your "Character Manager". Click "Create New Character!" on the upper-right of the page.
You should now have a "New Character" available in your character list. Click on that and you'll be taken to a page where you can change the name, choose a portrait and add details (click "Edit Character Details" to do the latter). Click "Update Character" to save your changes.
Now you can go to the story you want to join, click "Join The Cast", select the character you just created and click "Apply".
Good luck!
