Err... Are you sure you want a new table here ?

Your problem comes from confusion between Python's string formating
system and db-api query arguments system - which sometimes (as here) use
the same placeholder mark.
What you want here is:
sql = """
INSERT INTO %s (name, gender, job, level, str, dex, intel, cha, luc)
VALUES (%%s, %%s, %%s, %%s, %%s, %%s, %%s, %%s, %%s)
""" % CharAccount
cursor.execute(sql, (CharName, CharGender, CharJob, CharLevel,
Strength, Dexterity, Inteligence, Charm, Luck))
