I like the Minmatar look. Very bleak, tribal. The ships were flying oddball pieces of rusty metal.

Vherokior Minmatar used to look very mediterranean or latin, they had big eyes and a special half-long haircut that I liked a lot.
Nothing is left from that now and I greatly regret picking this bloodline.

I choose Amarr for a few reasons:
- Standard laser crystals don't break, are cheap, and reload quickly.
- Several of my friends made amarr characters at the time.
- Amarr ships look kind of cool
I chose Khanid:
- they looked better than the other choices
- Cyber knight sounded pretty cool as well.

First toon was Minmatar leader type because I didn't know what I was doing. After that almost all toons after that were Minmatar just to save on supply/logistic issues. Otherwise I think I have three Amarr toons total. (across 3 accounts)

It was either Space Commies, Space Bible Bashers, Space Indians with Flying Scaffolding, or Space French with a Democracy.
The Caldari are Fascists not Commies there are major differences and the two don't like each other at all.
Personally I went Gallente activist heritage since I found that far more appealing than the others.

Went with Gallente originally, in part because of their lore. Of course, at the time I wasn't aware that they were in reality a pseudo-fascist-socialist republic-masquerading as a democracy, much like most democracies in the real world. Oligarchy much?
Anyway.. yeah, went with that, and Intaki was my first real character creation choice, in part because I liked the reincarnated approach.
Not so much anymore, and I don't really take lore into consideration anymore.

I picked Khanid as only Khanid and Achura has the pretty shoulder-long hairstyle and I liked lasers more (and my 1st "discontinued" character already was a Civire).
There wasn't really a lot left of the old looks after Incursions .. pity!

I chose Gallente because they were the closest thing to Americans in space, lol.
Though, I cross trained to minmatar ships because, even though I hated the design of their ships at first, they grew on me so much,now, lol.
Also it worked out, because I'm a mach pilot.

Chose Minmatar because I liked their backstory. Enslaved peoples, rising up, fighting back. Plus they have a vaguely Norse background, what with all the big ships being named after Viking myths. I study such things in my free time, so that appealed to me.
And I really loved the way Minmatar ships were structured. Flying scrap piles, asymmetrical and functional. They looked like actual ships actual space-faring races would start out with. It's expensive, both in material, surface area to be protected, and increased internal volume without much usability, to create non-cylindrical curved hulls and smooth lines on a spaceship.
Plus, the Amarr are asshats.

I chose minmatar strictly because the ships looked like they were held together with duct-tape and bailing wire. Sadly some of the newer ones look pretty shiny...

I am actually of French ancestry so Gallente seemed appropriate. Turns out I love drones and missiles, so I cross-trained Caldari.
Turns out that Minmatar are the best to cross-train, since non-empire faction ships generally require X/Minmantar ship skills and best for PvP.
But F that I am not crosstraining another race and weapon set. |

My thought process for picking a race went like this (back in 06)
Amarrian...religious....NO
Gallente...french....NO
Minmatar...slaves....NO
Caldari...military driven corporations.....YES

The thought process involved;
Amarr - religion, nope.
Gallente - hmm, space democracy, proud of freedom and entertainment, sounds good, eh, ships kinda ugly, THEY'RE FRENCH? Nope.
Caldari - Hmm, space corporations, very Traveller look to their ships, kinda liking this, oh, everyone else I know irl is Caldari? Nah, I'll try something else.
Minmatar - okay, digging the rebellious slave vibe, hehe, duct-tape ships are awesome, ooh, guns, wait, what's this Hurricane thing? SOLD.
So yeah, there we go.

Amarr Khanid because I liked the "dirty blood" and "slave blood" heritage for RP purposes, even though I've never even tried doing RPing.

I picked Gallente Activist partly for RP purposes. I also liked the slightly more organic looking ship design.

hmm well, I can't play men convincingly, so I looked at women in eve:
caldari: didn't like the look of ths ships, characters came across as statist androgenes
amarr: nice ships, but religion! (didn't want this in my time off)
gallente: didn't like the organic look of the ships. Thought the women looked silly, hated hair, didn't like the ships.
Minmatar: liked look of the girls and the duct tape and rust-bucket look of the ships. Projectiles - very old school! I secretley harbour a love for lasers, but haven't gone there yet. I appreciated the variety of looks possible through races and bloodlines. Tribalism turned out to be the groove I was looking for, as well as a healthy anti-establishment/anti-Republic outlook by way of the Thukker & Angels backstory. The history of slavery was a rich mine information for character creation.

When you first started playing eve why did you choose the race/bloodline etc you did?
Personally I read all the flavour text and quite liked the idea of being a member of the space french. I'm a pure blood Gallente pilot who parents were activists and that just kind of sounded like fun.
In hindsight I would have looked at all the different races, realised the flavour text meant nothing and not spent as long as I did specialising in Gallente skills. I mean, would anyone train hybrids if they knew how much they sucked?
I went with Caldari on looks alone. It was a long time ago and their faces just looked more realistic somehow.
But ever since the new character creation editor was released all races look pretty good and I've since built a couple toons of various races. (Gallente, Minmatar).
I also kept to Caldari skills at first but eventually moved on to Amarr and later Minmatar.
It's not really a big problem picking a race/specialization that doesn't suit you or wasting a few thousand SP on worthless skills while you figure out how you want to play. I mean you only start with a few thousand SP and these days you even get a SP/hour boost bonus until you reach a few million.

Well I picked Minmatar/Brutor, because it seemed like the most difficult path to go...and hell it is, but its also the most satisfying. That said, I've also crosstrained into Caldari ships for missioning.
