Scene_Biography
Author: Bigace360
Type: Misc

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Introduction

This is a script that calls a window that displays different aspects about a character... like their age, height, gender etc. These can be changed though. This script is free to use and edit as long as credit is given to me.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Feature

Shows actors characteristic stats and battler image or imported image.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Instructions

Insert this script above main, and call it Scene_Biography. Everything is in the module so there's no need to go any further down unless you know what your doing. Also as default, the script uses the battlers set in the database unless you place a image in the picture folder and place _P at the end of the files name.
