I didn't have a clue about EVE's races when I first signed on and chose Gallente/Intaki/Reborn. Part of that choice was for RP but I find Rp too corny.

I chose Caldari, Civire coz i thought they would be the best at PVP.
I was wrong. Not that it matters anymore.

friends where amarr, which ment i got lots of advice for amarr ships, i liked the look of amarr ships.
later i realised it doesn't matter what race you are, you can fly any ship use any weapon group.
races are for roleplayers which i am not.

My first MMO was SWG where I was deeply involved in RP on Gorath. My char Vora Dumem was in the Rebel faction, from Coronet, University of Tyrena (RP story). When NGE struck I tried to adapt but my way of playing was practically out the window. So after 3 months into NGE I left and had a year-long offline hiatus.
When I started EVE I wanted to continue my char as close as possible. So the first two days in EVE I was doing nothing else than reading the lore to find the most appropriate race/bloodline to my Vora Dumem of SWG. So... Rebel - Coronet - University of Tyrena turned to Gallente - Intaki - University of Caille.
In SWG I did RP but no PvP. In EVE I do PVP but no RP (might change with Incarna). ______________________________________

I chose something which seemed sort of interesting, that would also get me into the game quicker.
Turned out I chose Achura, which, back then, were the best race to choose, now with the new character editor they're also the best looking ones - win.

Amarr for the strong chiseled looks and divine supremacy. Plus I already had a beatnik Intaki character

obvious this is not my main. anyways... read the lore and didnt know a thing bout the game. Minmatar was given choice being rebels against a religios evil empire. Turns out i made the right choice couse i love being minmatar and wouldnt trade my hurricane for all the drakes in the universe. Chose sebiestor/thinkerer couse i tought it would have impact on gameplay (ships do look like they falling apart tought it might be good to know how to repair them :)) |

I picked Amarr for the whole "religious" aspect only to cross train Gallente and fight Amarr from a Role Play perspective. Basically my toon's parents were put to slavery then murdered (for their idea of a free world) by Amarr fanatics.
I was saved by Gallente friends of the family (sharing the view of a free world). I was raised with a Gallente spirit, and now taking revenge on the Amarr race (missions). I fly Gallente for missions (domi) and indy job (transport/hauling). My toon's look is that of a suffering Amarr turned rogue in the name of freedom.

For the glasses. But i can now buy better looking crap from the NEX. Hey CCP, monocles are lame, get us some more glases in the NEX. While you are at it - put a 100$ price tag on them, cause.. why the hell not, my real live glasses cost that much, so i think its kinda ok?

I'd love to say that it's because of Amarr Victor, but the truth is that I chose True Amarr because at the time they had the lowest base Charisma out of all the bloodlines, and because that Impairor was the coolest looking noobship.

I chose Gallente mainly because I was a huge RPer when Kerin was created and I liked the idea of being a goody-goody space hippy all about freedom and love in a game where you mainly just blow stuff up. Also nearly all of my RL friends had already chosen to be Minmatar rebel slaves. Back then we only had the choice between full blooded Gallente and the Intaki and the Intaki just looked a bit weird really, plus full blooded Gallente could choose to wear a cool hair-visor thing. I completely gimped myself with all the useless charisma my background choices gave me, but it was totally worth it for the hair. I really miss my pile of neon blue hair and that visor. :( --- Chocolate McGubbins for all! --- |

backstory backstory backstory. Amarr & Caldari story was deeply unappealing, while Gallente and Minmatar were uber.
Choice between Gallente and Minmatar but I think it was the Minmatar aesthetic that tipped me in that direction.

My first toon was caladai because at the time the whole militaristic thing sounded interesting but then I found out misses suck.
So now I went with Gallente because I like the use of the drones, also their turret system(s) are not all that bad yes they need fixing but they are usable.

I liked the Rifter hull and the background to the Minmatar. So I went Sebiestor male route, I usualy play female characters in MMO's. And back in 2003 CCP said we would not be leaving our pods so I picked male. Now with Incarna I don't want to start over again and I am feeling cheated because I was lied to.
Had a choice of a gender swap via nex store yeh I would treat myself.

Hated the idea of religious slavers so Amarr was out. Hated the idea of a big corporation so Caldari was out.
Fine with the democratic race. Fine with the ex slaves. Liked the look of both races actually made a bad ass looking black chick with dreads too.
It came down to preferring the look of the Gallente frigates and stations. Everything Minmatar is too dark and just blends into the background and station (some Minmatar ships are practically invisible in the new Incarna hangars. at least on my computer).
Liked the look of this character too so decided to go with Gallente but fly other races ships. Can fly them all now but I'm focusing on Amarr at the moment.

I guess I liked the idea of being a liberated slave, fighting the man who was keeping them down. Building a nation fromt he slave tribes. I also like Minmatar ships, they are the best in the game.
I ARE MINMATAR!!

For roleplaying reasons, I found I did not desire to be: a slaver, a former slave, or french.

On my 1st character (this one) I had no clues, so it was a shot in the dark of sorts.
But my Caldari Science/Builder and Minmater Hauler were picked entirely due to starting attributes. Back then, starting attributes were HEAVILY dependent on race.
Play nice while you butcher each other.

Being member of a dark theocracy who sees themself as superior. Clinging to the past glory of an empire which is already in decay.
How could I resist the lure?

Why? You look kind of cute as you are :)
For me, they said "unscrupulous" in the description, somehow it sounded appealing. But I guess it was all about this "rebel" thing, sounded like there would be some warfare involved.
Haven't really been disappointed, RP in Eve is fun too

Gallente girls are beautiful and had wonderful glassy helms in previous versions of character editor (probably will cost $500 in NeX) - and I never regret anything about Gallente especially after Incarna: these barbies are pure perfection.
Also I quickly realised hybrids sucks and didn't train them - instead trained missiles and projectiles (+ Caldari and Minmatar ships => Machariel, Rattle, CNR, Navy Scorp, Tengu and other wonderful ships).
