Is it possible to customize the options so that instead of say "standard layout" and "blank page", we can have other wiki-specific layouts?- such as maybe "episode page layout", "character page layout" etc.

Most admins use pre-loaded templates and then add them to a MediaWiki: page that shows the list of new page layouts, but I don't remember what that is at the moment.
I don't believe CreatePage supports it. If you have any JavaScript developers on your wiki then you can hack something together by adding extra options to the CreatePage UI and intercepting the submit.
If that was impossible to understand, you're probably better off editing your community portal and using CreateBox widgets instead like this:
<createbox> preload=Template:DefaultLayouts/Episode buttonlabel=Create a New Episode Page prefix=Episode: width=50 </createbox> <createbox> preload=Template:DefaultLayouts/Character buttonlabel=Create a New Character Page width=50 </createbox> ... etc ...
Then you just create your default layouts at Template:DefaultLayouts/Episode
and so on to match the create boxes. The result looks like this:
