Backstory made me pick Caldari, but I wasn't so noobish that I didn't pay any attention to attributes. Ended up with a decent allround character. Looks were obviously of no concern at first and they still don't matter enough to pay for a change. I'll wait for Ambulation. ---

That's a silly answer though, i can fly every single T1 ship (non capital) from every race.
Amarr ships do look nice (Absolution mmmm *drools*) but only in moderation.

My first character was civire because of backstory and never bothered to start that one again (hated civire look after 1 week) so i made another deteis character... If khanid males were at least remotely cool looking I'd probably go for khanid character. Amarr have bad habit to look like old dirty grandpops.

Read the background story and choose the "Holy Empire". Even if the game I passed vast amounts of time in The Northern Alliances,I always felt a call to go south to join my true roots... Now I'm feeling home, bringing light to the darkness of 0.0 space

It's the truth and from an RP perspetive, even if you could fly all ships, it's not particulary what i want
Golden laser ships *nods* My reason for choosing amarr.

My "in head RP" style of my character is very minmatar as i consider myself to be a wandering nomad/drifter who does anything for cash (..but i wont do THAT) so rusty ships made out of girders suit me quite well.

I went for skills, and partly looks.
I have a nice set of attributes, but on the otherhand I started with a rubbish set of 800,000 skillpoints.

Originally by: Nyphur I started with 3 perception, that should answer your question :). I chose my character for how it looked when I made it.
Ha, Ha. My nothing Charisma and 25 Will trumps your 3 Perc. Send me all your money now, or I'll be forced to bring my will to bear.
Note: It's fierce, I tells ya. Really nasty. You should be afraid. Practically quaking in your boots, or whatever you use to cover your pods.

I went with the background for starters as I am a liberal at heart. I spent ages at the start looking at what the attributes did and what skills they were good for, I had already decided that the industry type of character was for me so geared it for that.
Then I had to go a screw up my hair....come on Ambulation, I really want to change!

Personally, I was prepared to go for (what I considered) "second best" to avoid Achura male :P My reasoning was I may have had better attributes, but I'd still be irritated with my portrait.

When I was creating my character, I asked my friend what the differences were.
Amarr: Lots of armor, lasers Gallente: Lots of drones Minmatar: Fast ships, conventional weaponry Caldari: Lots of shields and missiles Overall: Anyone can do anything, given time to train.
I told myself, "If I'm going to play a space game... I want the frickin' lasers! If I want something else I'll just train for it."
The backstory was just a bonus.

I was really happy with my avatar. Especially considering the massive number of Amarrians with the cowl tucked low over their eyes (which I almost did myself).
You have a few copied styles. The big, blonde Caldari, the Amarrian with the hood, the Khanid with the uber-dark face mask, the Brutor with the glasses, the pasty-white Seibestor, the minnie asian with the face tattoos, and the gallente ugly dude.
Oh, lets' not forget the cute Caldari chick with the red background.

I knew only two things about EVE when I made my first character in '04 - jack and squat. Armed with this (lack of) knowledge, I read the info on the character creation screens and decided I liked the story for the Federation. The Intaki information was similarly appealing, so that's what I made.
I had no idea how character attributes affected anything. If I cared much, I'd make an Achura (like everyone else). As it stands, I ended up killing that original character after several years, and when I came back to make another, my fascination with the Intaki compelled me to make another one.
For those folks who want looks and attributes, save yourself some time and simply make a female Achura. Don't even bother looking into the backstory. CCP has an obvious preference for the Caldari, which is why there's such a disproportionate number of players who flock to the State; it's just better from a min/max perspective.

I remember that I looked at Gallente, and liked their style, but didn't choose them for one simple reason: they included the word 'French' as their heritage. Beh, killed it for me. And they sounded way too stuck up and snotty, reminding me of why I dislike the French in the first place.
Then I looked at Caldari, and I liked what I saw. Seemed a bit too oriental, with 'life to the corporation' and all, but they looked good. But I looked up their ships, and I hated the way they looked. Still hate them ... ugliest things in space. Being the kind of vain person that I am, aesthetics are a big deal.
Then I looked into Minmatar, and the whole 'former slave' bit through me off, hard. I couldn't relate to the pasty-faced white guy, and though the glasses were cool, the brutor specs were awful. And I saw that the ships looked like taped up junk.
Ahh, the Amarr. I had to risk being what every self-respecting white American male fears ... a slave owner. But I figured I'd roleplay being anti-slavery. Cool. And being a religious fanatic was something I could deal with, considering that I'm against religions as a whole, and the Amarr seemed pretty close to Islam in their mentality and philsophy.
And then I saw their ships, and I thought 'this is the sh*t.'
Took me two hours to make a toon worth a crap, though. Man, the Amarr face is ugly as hell

Achura Inventor. *AND* I look hawt. So, both, really.
Sad thing is: nearly 2 years later I'm using very little of that massive, pulsating 'int 33' Achura brain. Most of my skills are in large blaster spec, spaceship command and other mandatory fit & fly stuffs. I even have passable trade skills. I would have been better off with just about anything else.

I went for even stats, in for the long haul to have a go at everything. Then the Jin Mei Dr Evil silver foil outfits and wierd space geek head gear was just too funny to pass by. Can't wait for Ambulation to get a second shot a my outfit at least :)
