Easy enough, in your layer window, (it looks like it's at the bottom right of your screen) click the new layer button (looks like a yellow sheet of paper).

Select Bone.

Drag your character's layer into the bone layer. (Will move your character's layer to the right just a bit when done correctly)

Have you read the help file and followed tutorials :?: :?:

You don't have your layer window visible in your screen shot but you will be best to have most of your body parts - arm with sword, legs with boots, etc. - each on separate layers. It makes it so much easier for binding.

So, your character is in a bone layer...
Add bones. You will need to experiment with binding layers and points to those bones. This can take a while to get right.

Do read the software documentation.
