SCRIPTING HELP FOR A BIOGRAPHY SCENE

CloseHello everyone,
Edit: Forgot to mention this is for RMVX Ace
I am new to scripting, only just starting to learn recently. I have been following DiamondandPlatinum3's tutorials on YouTube and they have been very helpful. This script I am currently working on was derived from watching his synopsis journal scene tutorial and a few others.
The scene I am trying to create is a menu window command biography scene. What I want is for each window in the scene to be filled with data from the the array. The array itself holds data from each character that I plan to introduce into the story. Things like name, age, date of birth, etc. will be used but I also put image names for the characters picture and a background so that way the images will also change for each character. The problem I am having is writing into the windows using the array. When I try I get an error reading "NoMethodError undefined method '' for nil:NilClass". So far I have only tried the Name window.
I could really use some help figuring out how to get it to access the array when drawing text.
Here is the script I am working on: Note: I removed the brackets and replaced it with B so the array will show up...
