This is a quick outline of my EVE Online character, Darren Carey.
Here's a screen-cap of Darren with my biggest ship - an Orca.

I have a lot of friends who enjoy the mining aspects of EVE Online, so when I was thinking about which capital ship I wanted to go for first, this was it. The Orca is a industrial command ship, and is designed to aid fleets of miners. It also has a very large cargo capacity, so it helps when I'm going to and from Jita.
As part of my EVE Intel project, I'm working on a site that aggregates useful information about characters in EVE Online. One of the things I completed is a grid of all ship skills, with additional sigils for certifications, assets, and losses. Here's what Darren's looks like currently.
| Frigate | ||||
| Destroyer | ||||
| Cruiser | ||||
| Battlecruiser | ||||
| Battleship | ||||
| Industrial | ||||
| Capital Ship | ||||
| Shuttle |
The thing I have been working toward the most of Darren's span has been getting to the point where I can fly any frigate or destroyer - Tech I or Tech II. I was able to get to that point some time ago, and have since started getting certifications for all of those frigates. I'm still a bit away on that one, but I was glad when I finally got all the certifications for the Gallente frigates. I think I am going to get all the Gallente cruiser certifications, then I'll move onto the other frigates. I'll probably update this page as I complete more stuff, so keep an eye out.
