Well you make your character appearance and than use obj and screen_loc to make it appear on your screen


obj
    Hud
        appearance 
            icon = 'appearance .dmi'
            icon_state="appearance "
            New(client/c) screen_loc = "1,1"

It is simple. Use variable screen_loc to set the position on the screen.
obj/HUD/HPBar
    icon='Hud.dmi'
    icon_state="HPBar"
    New(var/Screen_loc="1,1")
        screen_loc="[Screen_loc]"

Add hud with the command:
mob/Lobin()
    src.client.screen+=new/obj/HUD/HPBar("1,1")//Now you can set every loc you want.
