I'm still here but drawing a complete blank on ideas.

You could take RBY's suggestion and talk to someone to help you come up with a character. Sometimes, I just find starting with a character's name, a basic estimation of what they look like and a brief idea of what their personality is like helps, and you can fill in the blanks as the story moves on. Characters tend to develop and take on a life of their own.
