its not advised to do that, models downloaded will be.

different styles
different polycounts
different textured methods.
different texture file formats and sizes.
different limbed sequences.
usually not animated.
mostly different geographical sizes and thats detrimental with classics collision system because if you scale it the original size is the collision space.
I dont think pro suffers from that.

The best thing to do is to learn how to make them for yourself and choose a style that you feel comfortable with. IF your trying to go for super realism straight away, forget it. that takes a tonne of skill so choose something you can create and work with at your current artistic level.

I reccomend milkshape / unwrap3d and maybe characterfx if its not been abandoned by the author.

TGC let us have some darkmatter models over christmas time which might be a good place to start, animated viking etc..

It would be one hell of a lot easier to do it in 2D, but Im sure you know best. Try modifiying the goblin and Samuri ones that come free with DB, that way youve got some pre-made animations.

Oh, and when you finish this RPG you should chuck it into Cyberspace so we can all get a good play on it; congratulate you on your mastery of the coding, gaze in wonder at the well implimented script, and collectively wonder why all the games characters are either Goblins or Samuris.
