Press "Start" and it opens up a window, similar to the way my Options menu opens, that asks you to input a custom name then the game starts. Ideally I would like the window to show the alphabet in...

Ideally I would like the window to show the alphabet in both capitals and lowercase and not include symbols and numbers. Allowing for spaces and to backspace would be perfect too. I just have no idea how to even make this..

(Just a quick note that I am making DQ1 within RPG Maker MV as a way to learn how to use this program and it obviously won't be released to anyone)
