Here are the errors...

save character.dm:44:error:mob:undefined var

Thanx Punkrock546

The lines I highlighted,

if ("Male") new_mob = new mob/Mage_Male
if ("Female") new_mob = new mob/Mage_Female

you need /mob/Mage_Male to define path or else it is determined to be a var same for /mob/Mage_Female

Simple type :)

Now I'm having runtime errors...

You're setting usr.gender to "Male" and "Female". There are only 4 possible values for genders: "male", "female", "neuter", and "plural". Since DM is case-sensitive, you might as well set usr.gender to "raw onion", because "Male" and "Female" aren't possible values for gender.

To fix this? Change all the "Male" and "Female" text strings to "male" and "female". Codewise:

However, that won't work. Why? Because in the two if procs, you're just checking to see if "male" or "female" is true. You're not checking to see if usr.gender is either. So you'll need to change the if procs, like so:

That should solve your problem.
