# Instructions:

#   Actor 1 - 7 are the actors in your database, so Actor1 = 1 means

#   that the first character shown is the first actor in your database.

#   Just exchange the numbers to change the actors

#

#   Actor1_Text is the displayed text for the actor.

#   You can write up to four lines.

#   Only edit the lines within the module.

#

#   To call it use $scene = Scene_CharacterSelect.new in a call script command
