Oh thank god, I was looking for the 'Help me, I'm drowning!' section, and here is it.
I'm having two problems at the moment with my current project, one minor, the other kinda big and important.
First problem, I'm using Yanfly's YEZ engine, teaching myself how to use it since Yanfly left RM and doesn't support any of his/her scripts anymore. My problem is, the game uses a system like Final Fantasy Tactics, where battles earn Job Points to spend on new skills, and more skills become available as the characters level up. However, when I level up the characters, either through fighting, or by raising their levels in the Troops testfight, no skills are available. Like, at all, they don't even show up in the skills menu, or in the menu where they're supposed to be bought with the JP.
I put together a small demo to showcase my exact problem, in case I didn't explain this right or someone needs to see the scripting and notetags for themselves.

I've set up Name Input events for the characters, and they work fine for the first event, but as soon as I open the menu, the characters are reverted back to their default names, and they use the default names in dialogue. Now, I'm no rookie, I've been in RM for over ten years, I know all about \n[x], and that's what I use. What I don't understand is Ruby, so if this is a scripting issue, or an engine issue, or something, I'm lost.
Anyways, those are my problems. If anyone has any ideas or solutions, then thank you in advanced, and thanks for reading my overly-long whine-fest.
