Well, seems like you have an illigal version of SoA without a manual. But seriously, multiplayer works almost the same as single player. I am going through the game with a party of six created characters. I would not recommend doing that because you'll miss many NPC quests. I just wanted to check all those kits out and had to make a very strange party. Without a thief or cleric or whatsoever.
You can start a game by connecting and creating a new game where you have to create your characters. You could assign those to other players but if you're alone, you're going to play all of them. In the game, it's just like a single player game but now you have your own NPC's added to your party. And they will take a place in your group so you can take less SoA NPC's with you.
You could use this multiplayer option to balance your group, unbalance your group, or add that extra strong evil fighter that you can't find in the game. Just a small answer to a very broad question. Just try and see what happens.
