Switch Conditionals in Functions not working????

[Equinøx]

Hey everbody

I am having a problem with a switch conditional which calls a function

The function is

Code:

char FUNC_RACE_GOOD();

it is declared in the switch conditional like this

Code:

case '1':  // Case for choosing the good alignment
    cout << "You have chosen to join the sides of good...\n\n";
    char FUNC_RACE_GOOD(); // Call the good race function
    
    break;

And end up here

Code:

char FUNC_RACE_GOOD() { // Function race good

    char RACE;

    cout << "----------------------------------\n";
    cout << "               Races\n";
    cout << "----------------------------------\n\n\n";
    cout << "1. Elf\n";
    cout << "2. Human\n";
    cout << "3. Dwarf\n";
    cout << "----------------------------------\n";
    cout << "Enter the corresponding digit for your race...\n\n";
    cout << "Race: \n";
    cin >> RACE;
// Not finished yet

but all it does it completely skip the whole function call and just ends the program

any help?
