Awesome, you look Amarr so that might help. I want to know more about the Amarr. I chose Gallente a couple years back based solely on aesthetics. Their ideals seemed fine too. But now after playing for a while I just can"t get over how beautiful the Amarr are. Now I know they have (had?) slaves, but that's cool if it's their religion i guess. Just want to know more about them.
This is a very big question that I could spend hours answering for you.
Firstly in response to your question "are the considered good guys or bad guys by most."
Universally I would suggest that Amarr are regarded with careful caution. The Gallente consider the Amarr abominable because the practice slavery and like wise the Minmatar are mortal enemies of the Amarr because of what the precusors of the modern Amarr did several hundred years ago.
The Caldari themselves regard the Amarr as allies but it is effectively an alliance of mutual need as the Caldari want to remain culturally pure while the Amarr have a history of dissolving cultures into the own.
However the Amarr are the largest population group in New Eden before you count their slave stocks..... we consider ourselves pretty great.

To your original question "You want to know more about the Amarr"
Well here is a basic synopsis of the Amarr.
The ancestors of the Amarr were raised on the desert world of Athra (now called Amarr Prime) which was an unforgiving place. They were driven from the mainland continent of Assimia by and unknown group of peoples and eventually were able to settle on Amarr Island (where they take their name).
At the time they were divided into bands of warring city states vying for territorial control of the main island while one centralised Church remained in power to see to the needs of the various city grounds. The Amarr were eventually united under the rule of Amash Akura a pious warlord who was supported by the church.
He united the city states into one "Empire" and named the capitol of this new institution after his domain, Dam-Torsad. Under the rule of the Emperors the Amarr entered into a period of time where no significant technological developments took place and the rule of the Emperor, his advisors the Privy Council, and his nobles the Holders were able to establish themselves.
This changed when the Amarr met the Udorians, another people who at the time were great sailors and also developed enough to rival the Amarr. Mistaking them for those who cast them from Assimia in prehistory the Amarr declared war on the pressed the Udorian crews into service as the very first slaves and used them to form the Amarr Navy.
They warred against the Udorian city states of many years, seeking aid from the Khanid tribes, who became their soldiers and broke the dead lock against the Udorians when armed with newly discovered gunpowder weapons.
With the Khanid willing converts, and the Udorians enslaved the Amarr owned 2/3 of their home world, and over the following years of social development eventually considered the taking of slaves and subsequent release of those loyal slaves as part of their religion and social doctrine.
Thus the Amarr entered the modern age constructing rail ways and planetary communications after settling the remaining uninhabited continent they named Kathis.
After the Amarr controlled the entirety of their planet they could only then look to the stars.

They do allow converts of course. Gimme and moment and I'll update with how the Empire was founded, its civil strife, and into how the Minmatar got all wrapped up in this.

The Amarr Space Age
Once the Amarr owned almost every area of land they began to develop rapidly looking to the stars for answers regarding their solar system.
Their space programes with initially very small scale starting with launching small rockets into their planets atmosphere and monitoring all the data it sent back. Eventually however the looked to the other moons and planets in their system and attempted manned flights to those place to found colonies and spread their influence.
It was roughly about now the Amarr discovered the remains of an old Warp Gate and began to look as the possibilities of expanding to new uncharted systems, they reverse engineered the technology and established a manned mission to the neared system that they called Hedion.
Moving at roughly 2% of light speed they took 50 years to reach Hedion with crewmen dying in cryosleep but were able to build and establish the first inter system transport gate allowing them access to distant systems which they made use of aggressively expanding their borders using this new found technology. Additionally the Amarr if I am not mistake are the earliest known users of the Four Empires of Cynosensural Fields.
Eventually after their expansion the Amarr came across another foreign body of people they named the Ealur which shook their society to its core. The revelation that other humans were out there amongst the stars stoked the passions for something the Amarr called Reclaimation, a holy war of subjugation against the Ealur with the intent to make them slaves, now that the Udorians were being made free citizens.
However the Ealur were a soft people unable to handle the harsh conditions of other worlds and the Amarr enslaved them all to th last man with little effort, treating them harshly so that millions died under the whip or in harsh labour. This spurred the Amarr to develop the Human Endurance Programme , designed to explore the limits of human potential and breed a New generation fo Ealur.
Which was fortunate for them since they did not have the capacity to act independently of their Amarrian masters.
The Amarr went then planet to planet, system to system, scouring the peoples of those planets and enslaving them, dissolving their cultures and replenishing dwindling slave stocks, gifting these worlds to the Holder Nobility to preside over.
Later the Amarr met the Ni Kunni whom they studied as the most advanced race they'd come across. On their home world the Ni Kunni suffered from severe droughts and thus water was sacred to them. Using this the Amarr convinced the Ni Kunni to adopt the Amarr Faith, making their conquest of the planet incredibly easy, seeing the Ni Kunni almost as a whole race made free citizens in a single generation.
For the first time united the Three Major Bloodlines of the Modern Empire, the True Amarr, the Khanid, and the Ni Kunni turned to face a new revelation growing in close proximity to its borders
The Minmatar Empire (yes the Minmatar did at one time have and Empire)

The Minmatar and the Modern Era.
When the Amarr discovered the Minmatar nearing their borders they sent out craft to investigate this new presence which at the time called itself the Minmatar Empire.
They comparatively were primitive, but space faring, having colonised several adjacent systems to their home system called Pator and were broadcasting on open signals the Amarr used to monitor their movements. Pator by contrast to Athra is considered a garden agri-world, almost paradise and the Minmatar were products of that.
When a massive storm front swept the face of Pator the Amarr saw they chance to attack sending six Slaver Vessels to the Pator system, crushing all communications hubs, and orbital contruction yards rendering the Minmatar unable to react to the sudden and over powering attack.
The Amarr depopulated entire worlds and enslaved Billions in days taking them back to the Empire for labour. They continued to do this regularly to secure more slaves and to destroy any orbital defences the Minmatar installed.
The Amarr soon met the Jove, few in number but incredibly technologically advanced, who bore them no ill will.
The Amarr met both the Gallente Federation, a massive sprawling and technologically advanced empire in the following years and were greatly concerned as their own Navy was poorly equipped ( a recurring trend amongst the Amarr) to deal with enemies of equal technological strength as in their histories they had always encountered weaker peoples.
Eventually they too met the Caldari who then were at war with the Federation but had no luck making them allies.
Of these 3 foreign entities the Amarr arrogantly attacked the Jove confronting them at Vak 'Atioth where they were routed and their squadron of 200 ships were annihilated.
At the same time across the cluster Billions of Minmatar rose up all at once in rebellion tearing apart the Empire and ended with the deaths of Trillions of Minmatar and Billions of Amarr
Seeing all this chaotic Goodness the Amarr sued for peace and the entire cluster fell into a lull of inactivity and relative peace as the Amarr rebuilt themselves.
Years later a former Gallentean president suggested the united powers of New Eden form CONCORD the space police to keep the peace between the Four Empires, or which initially the Minmatar were barred from, the Amarr refusing to accept the new Minmatar Republic into the summits.....which eventually they did get in.
More recent the Empire was invaded by the Republic in direct contravention of the CONCORD edicts and sent massive fleets to various places to liberate as many slaves as they could, this was the Elder Fleet Invasion.
It almost looked like the end of the Empire were it not for Jamyl Sarum thought dead after she failed to become Empress who appeared at the darkest hour seemingly back from the dead at the head of 10 Battleships to stand against one of the three Elder Fleets.
No one knows why but in an instant the skies over Sarum Prime were lit up with some great light and the entirety of the Elder Fleet arrayed against the Empress was destroyed, forcing the others to back off back to the Republic.
Today Jamyl Sarum is still our Empress and where the Amarr march the Minmatar tremble in fear.

Religion wise the Amarr are monotheistic (believe in one true God) and follow the Scriptures written by his prophets as their guide lines, though throughout their histories the Scriptures have been rewritten several times to amass power for the Emperor or Empress.
They also believe that God has chosen them too Reclaim the Stars, basically insisting that their Holy War, the 24th Reclaimation Crusade is divine right and that their duty is to enslave the peoples of New Eden so that they can be taught the tenets of the Faith.
This is somewhat counter intuitive since the Amarr wish this to bring about a lasting unity and peace for all mankind, though they prefer to wage war to achieve it.

Do they allow converts? Or is it too late for me? We welcome all who accept His will and obey His instrument: the Empress. You may want to rephrase that... No? Okay Also say someone give me a link to Caldari torture/methods of interrogation? Thanks i dont think there is a chronacle about those but maybe since they are hyper consumorists/corperate run perhaps they fine heavly, close bank accounts and even... Demote...
There's a chronicle about each races groups.
The Amarr one is very .....humorous as they throw their victim into a wooded enclosure with rather large animals.......during mating season..... we also have talking Furriers that continuously repeat "I wuv you" as you are locked in their cage.
Who says we don't have a sense of humour.
