Chapter and startup

Okay I see a few problems here, it is as I suspected, you are using *finish, which causing it to jump to next chapter in the *scene_list, here you don’t need to use *choice as the scene is pretty linear so I recommend using *fake_choice, also another thing you are using *goto_scene instead of *goto which is also wrong, also the placement of *label is wrong.

Below I have fixed the errors I see, and it should work

Your family name is 
*choice
  #Pendragon
    *set family "Pendragon"
    Your family name is ${family}.
    *goto name
  #Buxton
    *set family "Buxton"
    Your family name is ${family}.
    *goto name
  #Create your own.
    *input_text family
    So your family name is ${family}.
    *goto name

*label name
What is your name?
*input_text name

Gender?
*fake_choice
  #Male
    *set Gender "Male"
    *set mal "true"
    My Lord 
  #Female
    *set Gender "Female"
    *set fel "true"
    My Lady 

Sidenote: I strongly suggest you read through the Wikia tutorial, particularly the examples as they will help you in understanding about which functions to use when.
