How to create 4 player rpg party system (single player, like old Might and Magic games)? + animated character portraits

Thank you so much for the quick reply!

This will be a PC game. Yeah I know Legend of Grimrock, except this wouldnt be grid based.
May I ask you to show me how would this pretending can be achieved with blueprints?
That would be a huge amount of help, but thanks already for your advices!
