I really wanted to try making one, but I have no clue how to go about it. How can I do it? Also what is an OC? My friend said it's an original character, but what does that mean? Thanks in advance, because this noob needs some serious help!

For making sigs/avatars, you need a program that makes graphics. I highly suggest Photoshop, but PSP and GIMP work, too. If you have no means of acquiring one, download Photoshop. It owns.
An OC is, like your friend said, an original character, which simply is a fancy name for a character that is made by a fan, not the people who make the show.

If all else fails, MS Paint can help you out! Not fancy, but for the inapt people like myself, it works (look at my sigi...plain but mine) Ulead Gif animator lets you make moving icons, Ulead photo is one of the easiest programs to manipulate graphics I have encountered, but it's very old and I am not sure about modern versions... Gimp is free, and the others you can download as trial at download.com Of course Nighteh is a pro, I don't even qualify as amateur!
