Setting variables using if/else statements

[chcarraway]

I'm trying to write an interactive story, setting the main character's gender as a variable so that the proper pronouns will be used. I'm taking an introductory C++ class, so I probably have some things wrong. I'm getting an undeclared identifier error on lines 17 - 22, 27 - 32 and 42 and 43. Doesn't line 13 take care of that?

   #include <iostream>
   using namespace std;

   int main()
   {
    cout << "\tWelcome!\n";
	int gender;
	cout << "Are you male or female?\n";
	cout << "1 - Male\n";
	cout << "2 - Female\n";
	cin >> gender;

	char he_she, He_She, him_her, Him_Her, his_hers, His_Hers;

	   if (gender == 1)
	   {
		he_she = he;
		He_She = He;
		him_her = him;
		Him_Her = Him;
		his_hers = his;
		His_Hers = His;
	   }

	   else
	   {
		he_she = she;
		He_She = She;
		him_her = her;
		Him_Her = Her;
		his_hers = hers;
		His_Hers = Hers;
	   }

    char userName[100];
    cout << "\nPlease enter your character's name: ";
    cin >> userName;
    cout << "Hello, " << userName << "!\n\n";

	//Gender test
        cout << "Gender Test\n";
        cout << he_she << " " << He_She << " " << him_her << endl;
        cout << Him_Her << " " << his_hers << " " << His_Hers << endl;

   return 0
   }

'he', 'He', 'him', 'Him', 'his', 'His', 'she', 'She', 'her', 'Her', 'hers', and 'Hers' are undefined.
You must have meant to make them strings, which would be "he", "He", etc.
'char' can't hold strings, but 'char *' and str::string can.

I'll save you posting in an hour or two about why cin >> meh; isn't working properly for you.
