may i recommend to remove
this
scene intro_mc with dissolve
label name_set:
$ persistent.fname = renpy.input("What is your first name?", default=persistent.fname, length=15, allow=allow1)
.capitalize() or persistent.fname
if persistent.fname != "Redmond":
$ persistent.mcnic = renpy.input("What will your friends call you?", default=persistent.mcnic, length=15, allow=allow1)
.capitalize() or persistent.mcnic
it unnecessary interferes with naming the mc - like you want "
AxelF" for example , the
F will be always lower case
thank you
