Rendering Help!

Can someone anyone help me. How can I render an image of a character, that can be placed over a background. I guess its a alpha image.

Go into Render Globals and tick the box that says "Alpha Channel (Mask)" in the image output settings.
"Terminat Bora Diem, Terminal Auctor opus."

Don't forget to render the image to a file format that supports an Alpha channel, i.e. IFF or Targa.

I personally use Targa because I can open the file(s) in Photoshop, After Effects and Premiere without any problems.

There may be other file formats that support an Alpha but I'm not behind Maya right now.
