Alright gentlemen, I've decided to give EVE's free trial a whirl. I made myself a Caldari Achura male, and adhered to the recommendations of this guide:

According to the guide, Caldari Achura males have the most ideal distribution of attributes. I know alot of people in this thread decry their appearance, but I find mine to look far better than the Gallente Jin-Mei male I made (also created according to the guide's suggestions).
As someone who doesn't really know what he wants to do in the game, nor
how to do it, is Caldari going to be a suitable match for me? I imagine I'll be heading towards PvP as that seems to be the heart of EVE but alot of people in this thread claim Caldari ships are terrible in PvP. Should I be steering towards another race's ships? Will that entail a world of hurt in training? Based on my starting stats and my skill breakdown below, would someone be so kind as to hold my hand and guide me? Any advice is welcome.
