Code:
world
    mob = /mob/create_character
    hub = "---------.---------"
    hub_password="------"

mob/create_character
    var/mob/character
    Login()
        var/charactername = input("Hello, Pick a name for your character, something you wish for people to call you in the game.","Character Name?")
        switch(input("Below pick one of the following backgrounds you wish for your character to be. It determines what skills you get in the game.","Character Background?") in list("Warrior","Cleric","Bard","Necromancer","Elementalist"))
            if ("Warrior")
                usr.class = "Warrior"
                usr.bclass = "w"
            if ("Cleric")
                usr.class = "Cleric"
                usr.bclass = "c"
            if ("Bard")
                usr.class = "Bard"

Just pointing it out, but why are you deleting yourself after you finished creating your character? (if you were to every finish of course...)

You can actually directly edit your "name" var in this situation with...
name = input("","") as null|text
if(!name) name = key //if none inputted, their key becomes their name, even though DM will do that automatically ;p
//...

I just used the code from ham-warrior's rpg demo with modified gender selection.
