To Begin
If you have played Eve then the process of Character Creation in Dust will be very familiar to you.
There are the four established races to choose from, Gallente, Caldari, Minmatar and Amarr. You can choose one of the three the bloodlines for each race and then the gender.
Gallente Bloodlines are Gallente, Intaki and Jin-Mei.
Caldari Bloodlines are Civire, Achura and Deteis.
Minmatar Bloodlines are Sebiestor, Vherokior and Brutor.
Amarr Bloodlines are Amarr, Ni-Kunni and Khanid.
Specialties
You are now given the choice of four starting specialties. These give you a starting skill set up but you are not limited to any particular form of career progression or skill progression and are the same across all races.

Now you are presented with a choice of four avatars for your Dust Merc to represent you to others and then decide on a name. Remember that this character will be searchable in Dust 514 and Eve so the usual rules apply. It will also have to be a unique name.
Once this is done you'll arrive in a familiar looking room.
Mercenary Quarters
This where you spend your time while not playing the game. Like the Captains Quarters in Eve you can walk around the room and interact with the displays and devices. You can also call them up on the Neocom by pressing L1.
Neocom
The Neocom, like its counterpart in Eve is the hub of your Merc's life in New Eden. Once called up, you can use either the left stick or the D-pad to select the menus and tunnel into them and out using the X and O buttons.
It currently has the following submenus.
