The problem is your switch statement.
The entries in the list and what you're looking for are all wrong.

I'm going to assume you just pulled this off of something though, since not only are the entries in the list wrong, the mob types are wrong too.

        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("dragoon","Dwarf","Knight")) // the options are dragoon, Dwarf, and Knight
            if ("Warrior") // not dragoon, Dwarf, or Knight
                character = new /mob/You/dragoon()
            if ("Cleric") // neither is this one
                character = new /mob/You/mage()
            if ("Magician") // or this one
                character = new /mob/You/Knight()

            if ("dragoon")
                character = new /mob/You/dragoon()
            if ("Dwarf")
                character = new /mob/You/mage()
            if ("Knight")
                character = new /mob/You/Knight()


This isn't what you want, but it'll make it work.
For example, Dwarf is making you a mage...

You'll have to fix that yourself.
