[Damien Monaghan]

How about moving the main character,  should a force be applied to move
it, or is there another method

Just create a sphere or cylinder around your characters. Contact points
will 
be generated when the sphere touches a wall and then it's up to you what
to 
do with those contact points. In case your character is a rigid body you
can 
make contacts without friction to simulate the sliding.
