custom item help

[Thomas Die]

this is a simple question but is it possible for a character specific item i tried to use the one from don't starve but it seems impossible now

Define character specific?
If you mean only your character can make like wickerbottom's books or wigfrid. Then you need to add your character's unique tag to the items recipe.
If you mean the item can only be equipped or picked up by your character like Lucy, then you would have to emulate something similar.

IronHunter is right.

In order to keep other characters from picking up the item, and preventing duplicate characters from picking up each other's items, you'd have to do something like this:

AddPrefabPostInit("YOUR_ITEM_PREFAB_NAME", function(inst)
	local oldOnPickup = inst.components.inventoryitem.OnPickup
	inst.components.inventoryitem.OnPickup = function(self, pickupguy)
		if pickupguy.prefab == "YOUR_CHARACTER_PREFAB_NAME" then
			if not self.inst.itemowner then
				self.inst.itemowner = pickupguy
			end
			if pickupguy == self.inst.itemowner then
				oldOnPickup(self, pickupguy)
			elseif pickupguy.components.talker then
				pickupguy.components.talker:Say("That item is not mine.")
			end
		elseif pickupguy.components.talker then
			pickupguy.components.talker:Say("I cannot wield that.")
		end
	end
end)

my own character can use the book i created but people like maxwell can not

You could just clone the reader and book components and actions and make them exclusive to your character to read.
