Basically, you will want to get into your scripts and locate Game_Actor. Towards the bottom, you should see def screen_x.

 

  def screen_x
   # Return after calculating x-coordinate by order of members in party
   if self.index != nil
     return self.index * 160 + 80
   else
     return 0
   end
 end

 

The part that says return self.index * 160 + 80 sets the actor's x-coordinate battle position. So if you have just the one actor as in your picture, you could just modify the number after the plus sign. e.g. return self.index * 160 + 200

xxultimaxx is exactly correct, play with those values to get what you want...however; do you plan on using other battlers for other players? if so you'll need to create a formula that will display each battler in the position you want...

so self.index * 160 + 200 may position the first battler correctly, but the rest of the battlers will be positioned further and further to the left, and some may be drawn off-screen. Just keep that in mind when determining what calculation to use :)
