Unfortunately you don't get to see your character till later on this year when Incarna comes out (legend has it).
And yes there is an ocuk new player corp to help newcomers to the game, just join the ocuk public channel or send Dagejoor an email through eve.
Say hi to us on our forum http://www.oc-ps.co.uk you'll need your limited api key ready which is available from the EVE website in the "My Character" page.

I chose Caldari a long time ago because after reading the back story it sounded cool, high tech militaristic corporation led, in my eyes it was like the Aliens universe, where you had ultra powerful corporations like Weyland-Yutani etc. 
Yeah i picked my character purely based on back story as i had no idea what the attribute points affected at the time. Kind of liked the idea of being the underdog rather than what ships i could fly.
Also at the time, in order to do well in minmatar ships you pretty much needed every skill under the sun to come up on par with the other races on effectiveness, and strangely enough, i kind of liked that?
So yeah minmatar are the slave race of eve, traded all over the universe for hard labour or pleasure, though I'm not too sure what that says about me.

Yeah I thought that too. Then I discovered that you actually had to pay for ammo, while Amarr got to use cool lasers that recharged for free. So I started a new Amarr char. If I was starting now, knowing what I now know, I'd go with Caldari for pretty much any kind of PvE, Minmatar for solo PvP, Amarr for nullsec blob warfare. For industry it really doesn't matter too much anymore, although Gallente have the biggest Tech 1 hauler iirc? Those might not be the best choices necessarily, but what I'd do personally.

Yes, T1 everything including drones, just no faction/T2 stuff
To be fair your asking if Eve is a good game in the Eve thread - yeh its good!
Learning curve isn't really too bad either so long as you follow tutorials and are happy to do some reading in your own time.
PvP is great fun, real risk involved (if you die your ship won't respawn somewhere) which makes it rewarding when you win fights

Alright time for a question list if some of you don't mind as you're all a helpful bunch on this forum
1. Should i continue to just follow the military tutorials for now after doing the basic ones, before going into others, basically the career agents section?
2. I keep leaving skills to train every time i log out, but what do these skills do and what exactly will i be using my money for, ship upgrades or buying completely new ships?
3. Could someone explain how i would go around getting into the OCUK corp, asked before but kind of need a detailed explanation as iam slow as a snail.

I just click the help button then show agent things at bottom for career agents.
I still think its funny how that picture gets chucked up even though its from the second genesis!
In the chat box in the lower left click the little speech bubble then type OCUK in the join channel box and join the channel and then if i'm about "Dagejoor" or "Naomi Diaz" talk to me
and i'll go through what i need from you before you can join

It is a sandbox game so it is what you make it.
In PvP you actually stand to lose your ship. This gives more of an adrenaline boost than any other MMO that I have played.
