You can't define a function inside of another function.

void Intro() 
{
        string answer;
	Character Player;

	OUTPUT "Welcome to Eternal, please enter your name: ";
	INPUT Player.Name;
	OUTPUT "Is this correct? y|n" << Player.Name;
	INPUT answer;
	if (answer == "y") {
		system("pause");

	}
	if (answer == "n") {
		Intro();
	}
}

int main()
{
        Intro();
        return 0;
}

As a side note don't get into the habit of redefining cout/cin etc. It makes your code harder to read.
