Galan Amarias Amarr Vendetta Underground Rule of Three	Posted - 2007.06.09 08:10:00 - [181] Actually I just have this thing for lasers. So when I read that the Amarr had lasers I just looked for the group with the coolest background story. Had I had a clue what atts did, well then I'd probably not have a natural charisma of 10 :P -Galan
Daedalus DuGalle Gallente University of Caille	Posted - 2007.06.09 08:17:00 - [182] 1st char was Achura for attributes. Then I realised how little they mattered. This char for looks. Except now I half-wish I chose Minmater for either the Brutor sunnies, for the Veri-something face mask. Looks very cool. I'm really really hoping we can get more visual possibilities with Ambulation.

Sorohwi Minmatar Typo Corp	Posted - 2007.06.09 08:49:00 - [183] Amarr: Catholicism, slave holding, and giant, golden, flying sex toys. Caldari: The bastard children of fascism and capitalism. Gallente: Transparent clothing? Minmatar: Tribalism, rich history, and bad-ass tatoos. Need I say more?
Krezeb Caldari The Renegade Order	Posted - 2007.06.09 08:54:00 - [184] Hi I first started playing Eve just over three years ago, and was introduced to it by a friend that told me that it was alot like Elite. I watched him play it for a couple of days and decided to try it. My first char was either going to be Caldari-Civire or Amarr. I was thinking about RPing a bounty hunter, so a Civire looked temptimg (+ Shields and missiles.. cool :)). Or an Amarr zealot (Lasers ftw!). I eventually chose Civire, and since my friend had played about a week longer than me, he wasn't any help when it came to portrait/stats.. I ended up with a char that looked like my father and a terrible stat balance (high per, will and sob char). I took my time making this char though.. got good stats and the portrait isn't so bad. A balanced stat balance was a goal this time. --- My take on the races- Amarr - Religios fanatics.. somewhere between 14th centuary Roman Catholics (one god to rule them all, etc) and ancient Egyptians (Emperor is god's avatar, etc). Caldari - hyper-capatalistic japanese where loyalty to the corp and honour are paramount. (Needs of the many... , In Caldari State Corporation owns YOU etc). Minmatar - Freed slaves. I almost made a char with this but thought OMG FREEDOM etc. Gallente - More a free state, loose laws holding it together. You can find anything and everything for a price. Corrupt & sleazy where (almost) everything is allowed. bleh.. I can't be bothered writing any more.
lordopic	Posted - 2007.06.09 09:06:00 - [185] First I went with Caldari and was going to work on the merc/tough cop character, but then as I norm use this name as my main in most games Amarr fitted the bill , and with the slave side of things it reminded me of Elite2 where I would head down to the Imperial home worlds buy a load of slaves and head to the frontier so they could start a new life as free men and women. Lordopic Old solider turned freedom fighter all men/women being equal and all that.
Lardarz B'stard Amarr Dark Knights of Deneb Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.06.09 09:10:00 - [186] Complete guesswork here, same with the attributes and career path.
Honneamise Amarr Indomita Classis Ion Core	Posted - 2007.06.09 10:29:00 - [187] i chose amarr cause i like to suck. point .
Ombey Thunderstruck.	Posted - 2007.06.09 10:58:00 - [188] The sunglasses -- 2d EveMaps\|Map forum thread
hollywood hitman	Posted - 2007.06.12 00:12:00 - [189] Edited by: hollywood hitman on 12/06/2007 00:12:16 I'm just coming back to the game, and have a gallente and a minnie char, trying to decide which should be my main. Gallente: freedom, baby. Drones FTW. Minmatar: Rifter is the best frig, every time I rat-a-tat-tat some rat azz I get a mental picture of a guy in a black trenchcoat and an uzi going to town. Caldari: too slow, but I love the high-tech feel. amarr: I love the ships, but I'm hesitant to make one until I know how effective the fixes will be..
Hajyt Caldari EnTech Pax Familia	Posted - 2007.06.12 01:41:00 - [190] Edited by: Hajyt on 12/06/2007 01:40:32 Caldari! I liked the cold, efficient militaristic look. They're like the evil germans from earlier in the century.....but in space! Didn't know anything about the game when I chose, just went with what sounded interesting. *EDIT had to replace a certain banned word...with a phrase so it made sense. hah
Deschenus Maximus Amarr Digital Fury Corporation Digital Renegades	Posted - 2007.06.12 01:42:00 - [191] Laz0rz are pew pew. Reason enough.
Corwain Gallente Zero Team	Posted - 2007.06.12 01:56:00 - [192] Call me a dumb American if you want but I believe in freedom through democracy, so I totally chose Gallente cause of the bit about being the only democracy in EVE.
Redpants Gallente Dead Eagle North Star Confederation	Posted - 2007.06.12 02:47:00 - [193] I chose Gallente because when I look on the bottom of my shoe I see, Amarr, Minmatar and Caldari. "My once immaculate white pants are now stained from the weak and innocent. I don't wear red."
Derran Minmatar Khumatari Holdings Ushra'Khan	Posted - 2007.06.12 04:55:00 - [194] Chose mine because back in my day, it took alot of time to travel between places and my corp from beta were all minmatar. If I stuck with Gallente like I was in beta, I would have had to travel quite some time to meet up with them.
Garrett Smith ARK-CORP FREGE Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.01 18:20:00 - [195] Originally by: Agalantiri Originally by: Soporo Originally by: Garrick Amorr Amarr = Roman Catholics (all other religion is wrong and must be destroyed. That sounds MUCH more like the Muslim religion. Haven't studied much history have you? Little things, like, you know, things that didn't impact upon history at all, like the Crusades, Inquisition.... You know. Little things. In todays world it sounds much more like the Islamic religion... that is the past, we live in today right Obviously Christians aren't like that today, however another of today's religions is like that (Islam). Boom Shaka Laka Laka, Boom Shaka Laka Laka, Boom Shaka Laka Laka, Boom! -Sahwoolo Etoophie
Guilliman R Gallente PRO Space Hunters Federation Of united Corps	Posted - 2007.08.01 18:22:00 - [196] I like the french just kidding I chose my because drones looked cool (and they are) I only wish we could cary x10 as many drones, that would be awsome! My personal army <3 ---sig--- Carebear for life (unless I am in the advantage and have 99% chance of winning(, hey 1% chance to lose, thats risk right, good!)!
Skylar Keenan Amarr Viziam	Posted - 2007.08.01 18:31:00 - [197] My first character (this one) was chosen because of the backstory - I had no idea what EvE was about back then, so I read the backstories for each and the whole "You are SO gonna be my slave" attitude struck me as cool :D The second character is Minmatar, created a few months later - That was mostly based on attributes to create an efffective combat character to fly Gallente ships - HACs had just been introduced back then and I was very much in love with the Deimos ----------------------------------------------- New sig coming SoonÖ
Blacktail Caldari Blackguard Brigade	Posted - 2007.08.01 18:55:00 - [198] Edited by: Blacktail on 01/08/2007 18:57:34 Edited by: Blacktail on 01/08/2007 18:56:23 The main reason I went with Caldari was for looks I suppose, though I'm now wishing that I was a little more skilled with the character creation thing. I just recently made an Intaki female who turned out great in my opinion (search 'Kalina Reyes' in game). Makes me wish I could just convert BT's stats onto hers. But I do happen to like the Caldari backstory quite a bit. The Minmatar's underdog story is a bit to cliche'd for me, but the Caldari one suits me well. The story of the Caldari/Gallente war, and all of the lore surrounding it, (the carpet-bombings from orbiting ships, the Chimera carrier being kamikazed to buy time, and images like these: http://www.eve-online.com/wallpapers/#sh (the one with the bombing of the city) all paint a very dramatic history to me.
Lord MuffloN Caldari Caldari Provisions	Posted - 2007.08.01 19:34:00 - [199] Edited by: Lord MuffloN on 01/08/2007 19:37:22 This thread gave me a laught, US+freedom? lawl, go check out Europe, and Gallente = Liberal, let's see.. What is the current US goverment? Rightwing conservative christians (= as far from liberal as you get).. (Removed flamebait)
WGAnubis Marrith Gallente	Posted - 2007.08.01 19:38:00 - [200] I choose mine based on my past RP experiences in other MMO's that Ive been in, IE I went for the race that, to my perspective, has the most freedoms, which was the gallente. I mean when you look at all the other races, something dictates from a "higher" position what they can or cant do. Amarr = Far to much like catholosim for my tastes. Religion is a king puppet controled by corrupt men and the faithful follow blindly or face The Amarrian Inquisition. (nobody expects the amarrian inquisition!) Their told by the church what to do. Caladri = They have a Spartan like quality to them RP wise. A military state. Die for the greater good, even if you dont have a say in that greater good is your greater good. Their told by the state what to do. Minmatarr = So driven in their quest for freedom that they are enslaved by it (ironicly). All goals are aimed at freeing everyone else and all who stand in their way and their way of doing things is their enemy. Their told by the past/current ideals what to do. Gallente = Free to do whatever you wish, including being ruthless. Its a dog eat dog federation but if you play your cards right, dont try to enforce your POV on the majority of others, your likely to come out with only a few scratches. Their ruled by the desire to be free to do what they wish to do. Of course, this is only my persepective take on the playable races as a whole, and not the bloodlines.
Novas Wordo Templars of Space Sparta Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.01 19:43:00 - [201] I chose Caldari because I identified myself in them. Plus missiles are cool! But about the descriptions.. Gallente: South, east and central Europe Caldari: Flag carriers of high-tech world, meaning US, some countries in northern Europe, Japan, South Korea, maybe Australia etc.. Minmatar: I found aspects of later industrialized countries, such as former commonwealth countries, India, South Africa.. Amarr: Doesn't really need explaining, strong religion, fancy for gold. Saudi world with some darker shadows from persian culture. --------------------------------- Constructing constructive conversations.
Cardice Makar Caldari Dark Knights of Deneb Against ALL Authorities	Posted - 2007.08.01 19:59:00 - [202] I chose Caldari because... uh... wow. I really can't remember. Albeit, it was a really long time ago, and the stories have changed so much since then. I likely chose them because it fit with my view of what I wanted to be at the time. The original description indicated that the Caldari had been stuck in a divionary war against the Gallente only a hundred years or so before, and that they flew fast ships in close combat with the "mighty Galente" battle-fleets. That they used fast frigates against the Gallente so effectivly that they had to develop an entire weapon-system to counter it. That plus some fiction like the Torvil Toba incident made it a solid choice... I was hoping for fast response combat in little, quick, shield based ships [shield projectors aren't heavy, are they?] with a strong emphasis on tactics... Hahaha, sigh. Doesn't sound like today's Caldari much.
Nachshon Caldari Gradient Electus Matari	Posted - 2007.08.01 20:05:00 - [203] I wanted to play an EWar character. It said that the Caldari had the best technology. Seems logical. I later joined the Minmatar, to get in on the 'freedom fighter' fun. It's been an interesting RP experience. I think that Caldari and Gallente are the most popular races, with Minmatar a comfortable third, and Amarr dead last. ____________________________________ Caldari by birth, Minmatar by citizenship.

Cygnus Zhada Amarr UK Corp FATAL Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.01 20:26:00 - [204] Well, I chose Amarr to pwewpew with lasers but it seems that was a dumb mistake of me... Yes, I use lasers, please stop laughing in the back.
Tyrantus Imperial Academy	Posted - 2007.08.01 20:43:00 - [205] I went with True Amarr because it let me have the Sinister looking Medieval Baron pic.. Skills I just buy and train to fly and do what I want so in the end it was purely a style thing..
cal nereus Bounty Hunter - Dark Legion Curse Alliance	Posted - 2007.08.01 20:59:00 - [206] I smell a necro. But in regards to the op: I chose Caldari-Achura 'cause everyone else was doin' it. --- Grismar.net
E Vile	Posted - 2007.08.01 21:13:00 - [207] Originally by: Constantine Arcanum Originally by: Lavinrac Krad Originally by: Ethan Hunte Gallente = Freedom, truth, justice, and the American way lol I thought that is Caldari (Corporate run society) for the Northern US States and Amarr (Religion run society) for the Southern US States? Unless you are talking about the Canadians being Gallente (They are on the continent of North America and technically Americans) That's like saying scottish people are technically english. ACK! "The key to immortality is to first live a life worth remembering."
Jarek Neltharek Caldari Free Space Development Cartel	Posted - 2007.08.01 21:29:00 - [208] When I first made my character I liked the the idea of the whole mega-corp society, and went with that. Wish I had given the Amarr a chance though. They really are the race that I like most in game these days. Ohh well ****y on me for not readingn the other races and going with a knee-jerk reaction.
Chainsaw Plankton	Posted - 2007.08.01 21:42:00 - [209] gallente, freedom and liberty... no thanks, not to mention they are French amarr religious zealots... stay away! minmatar former slaves, and tribal... never mind caldari ruthless military efficiency... I LIKE IT!
