Character setup is a one way trip #17

Brief description of the issue

In character setup, there are a few entry fields that cannot be changed after the first time you save the character.

What you expected to happen

To be able to adjust one's own character during setup in a way that doesn't involve the 'save' button permanently locking a number of important details you might want to change.

What actually happened

Pressed the save button due to a justifiable paranoia with input failure on byond's end, and now I have to remake the character.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Spend anywhere between 20 minutes and two hours deliberating over a character's many details while creating them
  2. Save the character at literally any point
  3. Realize that you are no longer able to change their name, age, sex, birthday, birth system, social class, email address, or email password (which locks to '0' if not set).

  • Anything else you may wish to add (Location if it's a mapping issue, etc)
    There are surely good reasons to be able to change any one of these after you've made the character. What if you made a typo, or you don't like or misunderstood something and needed to change it? What if one of those details is not lore-compliant? What if your character moved up or down in life and you want to reflect that? It is incredibly frustrating that the intuitive habit of frequently saving to avoid loss of progress because of round end or losing connection leads to having to remake the character in a new slot or deleting the current one. The only way to currently fix this involves direct intervention by the host and it ought not to be.
