How is it that your character learns his skills anyways? Is the skill data downloaded into his brain like in the matrix or does he actually sit down and read a book on how to improve his skill?
It's all fiction I know but I am curious how the game explains this.

A fascinating question indeed. While the skills themselves are often referred to as "skill books," therein lies an obvious flaw: We're pod pilots. Books wouldn't fare too well inside our liquid-filled capsuels. Given this, and the otherwise totally integrated systems of our pods, I'd suggest that these skills are directly imprinted into the brain by some means.
Edit: And I'd like to add, that as we are all pod pilots, I find that our hair is generally in remarkably good condition, despite being eternally cooped up inside these nasty liquid-filled contraptions.

Slowly. **waits for laughter** I'll be here all week.
I'd guess that it is probably something similar to the matrix.

A good question. I think that the skills have to be imprinted into the brain indeed because they keep training all the time, no matter what you're doing. The constant skill training means they even train while your character's asleep. So, some form of imprinting, definitely.

Heh. On that note, I'd guess the portraits are just mugshots, with "Show Info" being the equivalent of pulling up someone's ID.

Off topic I know, but how do all the RP players explain the fact they're out of their pods sitting in bars, glancing uneasily at the mysterious newcomer who's just entered?

And how do the fighter pilots keep from going squish when the pod pilot's carrier goes into high-gee maneuvers?

Must be true. I've never seen a pod pilot with frizzy hair.

And the fact that you can leave your pod when you dock.

At Eve University we (the students) receive instruction and tutoring that supplements the skill neural pathway generation. This is not to say we learn the skills faster. We only receive instruction to help us best utilize the skills we have gained and pick skill sets that effectively and efficiently carry us toward our individual goals.

We can leave the pod at stations - lots of the EVE chronicles involve people getting out of their pod (that sounds like a euphansim!)
It's the ones who say they're chatting to their crew while standing on the command deck of their ship that're RPing wonkily. Unless their pod has wheels, like a dalek with a beergut..

O RLY?
The implication I got was that once you're in, you're in.
Until you die and reborn, plugged in again, and on your merry way.

YA RLY.
Ever notice that your agents want to talk to you in person to give you a mission? Then for backstory, there's the short story Forsaken Ruins, and the chronicle Hand of a Killer, just to name a couple pieces of supporting fiction. There are probably more, but meh.

The following quote is in the short story 'The Jovian Wetgrave' and details people leaving their pods:
Quote:
"I have examined him, I'm afraid the symptoms all point towards it." Anu was saying.
"This mind-lock as you call it, is it permanent?" captain Ouriye asked.
"I'm afraid so. We have studied it thoroughly and found no cure. It's a shame, if I may say so."
"But how do you prevent it in the first place? I mean, was this bound to happen?" the captain enquired.
"Under the circumstances, yes. The only way to prevent this is with intense training for many years. That timeframe was unacceptable to your superiors."
