(Update to use the new SK template)
(Updated the skills for Caldari Starter Characters: Mechanics III is also trained to III on new caldari characters. Therefore, Mechanics III is part of the base skills of all characters and no longer a Minmatar/Amarr/Gallente specific thing. It is a prerequisite to Salvaging by the way, so there was no way Mechanics III was an empire specific thing since Salvaging is trained on all characters.)

Every new character in EVE starts with the same 11 [[skills]], two of which are race-specific: Frigate and Gunnery skills are based upon your racial choice. You start out with 55,824 skill points no matter what race you choose to play.

New characters in EVE start with around 400k skill points with the following skill levels trained. This represents a considerable increase to the past, when (before the Vanguard expansion in September 2015) characters started with around 55k skill points. The higher level of starting skills allows brand-new characters to access a wider range of activities in EVE from the start.  
  
Attributes are also standardized across the races; they are all set at 20 (with Charisma at 19).
