You're missing the ()'s for your if() statement.

In response to Mr. Robert
if(charactername == "")

he's missing the == too, in IF's you need to put two =.

Here is proper syntax...

world
    mob = /mob/create_character
    view = 6


mob/Male_Saiyan
    icon = 'Goku.dmi'
    icon_state = ""
mob/Icer
    icon = 'icer.dmi'
    icon_state = ""
mob/Female_Saiyan
    icon = 'Female.dmi'
    icon_state = ""
mob/NPC/Brolly
    icon = 'Enemy.dmi'
    icon_state = "1"
mob/create_character
    var/mob/character
    Login()
        var/charactername = ""
        while(!charactername)
            charactername = input("What is your name?","Name")
            if(!charactername) // same as if(charactername == "") or if(charactername == null) or if(isnull(charactername))
                usr <<"your name cant be blank!"
        var/character_race = input("What race shall you be?", "Race") in list("Saiyan", "Drow", "Icer")
        switch(character_race)
            if("Saiyan")//if the person chooses this, then what?
                character = new /mob/Male_Saiyan()//creating the icon
            if("Drow")
                character = new /mob/Female_Saiyan()
            if("Icer")
                character = new /mob/Icer()
            else
                alert(usr, "How did you do that???")
                del(src)
        character.name = charactername
        src.client.mob = character
        src.loc=locate(1,1,1)
        world << "[usr.key] has just entered '[world.name]'!"

Programming is an activity that will occupy an exponential amount of your time for minimal return depending on many factors. Good programming is the art of doing this activity in such a way that it yields greater return than the amount of effort put in.
