Can someone help me determine my first character? Starting out seems so complex with all the different options to start out with... I kinda wanna do both mining and fighting/hunting... I am sure there is a trade off there but not really sure where to start ... And i know there is no one correct answer.... I am just seeking guidance to get me going.

If you want to be able to do different things, and not specialize at first, just balance your attributes as much as possible at the character selection. There are some good threads about this in the Skills section on these forums, if you want to read up on all this

Perc--highest
Int--nearly as high or as high as perception
Willpower/Memory--middling, don't have either below 6
Charisma--3-7 is fine.
Other than that, what you choose doesn't really matter.

I don't really have anything to contribute, other than that your "Carpe filum!" sig made me giggle. <_<
Respect the Domi. Or else.

I concurr with this.
In order of importance (3 levels)
1. Perception
1. Intelligence
2. Willpower
2. Memory
3. Charisma

The above stat orders are right, Wish I had known more about the game when I started
Yeay 4 points into CHA! I'm the ultimate leader!
Anyhow, it doesn't matter what you chose race/profession wise. TO me it sounds like your going the same, Do everything Well, Jack of all trades route. Thats what I do.
After about 2 1/2 months, I can fly both Caldari, Gallantee, and at the end of this week Amarr (and mabey Minmintar) BCs, A mining Barge, Iteron mk IV (will be Mk V in about another month, then on to T2 haulers! Yeay blockade Runner!) Use ANY weapon of med. size or smaller, Build any ship up to Cruiser in less then a day, A BC in less than 3 (due to mining times and mineral availibility) or manage to hunt up enough rats to buy most ships I want. I've also been able to hold my own in PVP situations as well, although 2.5 months VS a 2.5year old Pirate..... I'm toast (such as my Thorax Bad Investments being taken out by a Faction BS with 1400mm T2 Artillary...)
Just work on having fairly even stats, but a little heavy on the Int and Per. Pick a race that you enjoy the look of the characters and ships, and then head on out and go for a spin!

Heh, my abilities would look like:
- Intelligence
.. far down ..
- Perception
- Memory
- Willpower
.. even more far down ..
- Charisma
I guess having that much points in intelligence wasn't really smart move. Or is it if I'm mostly planning to do manufacturing/researching with this char?

Its not too much of an issue--you can always put in perception implants, as other than charisma I believe they'r the cheapest attribute implants. A lot of skills are intelligence based, so you won't be disadvantaged much.

I priorized this order:
Memory, Intelligence, Perception, Willpower, Charisma.
I wouldnt do it the same way if I got a second chance, but it has worked well so far. Without implants I have these attributes:
Int:19
Will:15
Per:15
Mem:25
I wish I would have made a more balanced character. But now Im here, 3 months old with 4.2m skillpoints. I wont let those 4.2m be for nothing.
Guess what? I decided to go for Industry.  My training times are like 40% lower there. But when I have to train up for a ship, it sucks.
BALANCE YOUR [first] CHARACTER!
