I wanted to put about 5 or 6 chareters in to the game but the problem is that i have no clue how to do that. if any who read this have played tales of syphonia thats what kinda system i wanted. TO be able to swicth members out and in on the fly. ;D

Games CAN be too long.
That's not to say that games can't be good and have a whole lot of content, but dragging out a game for play time is NOT a good idea in my opinion. It just wastes a lot of time between the plot and achievements that drive the player to play.
Brevity is wit.
Though, if your filler content is loads of fun, who am I to object?
I'm not sure about switching characters out on the fly. I can be done fairly easily outside of battle with memorize location script and teleporting to a common map where you can reorganize your party, but I don't know how you'd manage it inside of combat.

That would be cool if i could do that that way tho but either way i need some way to change out the party. and steal You know anything about it?

I've never implemented a steal command so I can't give you a run down that isn't lifted straight from a tutorial.
A good example of having a 'switch party members anywhere' system is in Romancing Walker. They had a skill in the protagonist's magic menu that worked as a switch that activated a common event that memorized the current location and teleports the player to a screen where they select their party. Basically having each currently available party member as an event that asks if you want them to join, restricting them if their party is full, and making them disappear if they are already in the party. Off to the side there was an event that would empty the party for re-selection and or teleport you back to where you were previously.
It seemed a fairly simple way to make a select party area in RM2K without mucking with custom menus.
