Full disclosure, I have no secret knowledge of this game, and I make no assumptions here.
But given my experience with Bethesda's games, I have my "educated guess" as to what sort of possibilities could present your character build here.
I just picked names that fit the overall sci-fi theme, and that's not meant to be a full list (hence the "Other" option).

I used other because I do hope Starfield will fall very much into the TES mold in that it will not constrain us to one role. In Oblivion and Skyrim for example, I can be very versatile. Be an Explorer when I am out in the wildernis but a knight when I am dealing with nobles, etc. with no need to have an entirely different character.
I do hope that kind of versatility will translate into Starfield.

Oh absolutely, I was just trying to be as generic as possible, maybe get the ideas flowing.
Kind of how the term "stealth archer" or "battlemage" get used for Skyrim, but individuals may go about it differently.

Kind of how the term "stealth archer" or "battlemage" get used for Skyrim, but individuals may go about it differently. Well, in that case, I'd like to play an ex-operative who quit service to whatever government they were working for and struck out on their own to explore the universe and find their fortune.
Gameplay wise, that would mean to be a little more on the sneaky side in combat (with specialty in small silenced weapons and maybe sniper rifles). But also have some tech/hacking expertise. Character wise, I'd be on the selfish side with NPCs when it comes to taking missions/quests but if we have a crew or something, I'd look after those. Think Malcolm Raynolds from Firefly with a little more subtlety in combat. 
Disclaimer: This may change as we learn more about the setting.

For combat, I'm hoping for some sort of energy pistol and a shield.
Maybe find an ancient artifact that "unlocks my true potential", allowing for the equivalent of magic powers.
I also want to find and translate alien dialects and attempt diplomacy, maybe even uncover the **insert galactic mystery here**

What the fuck is "Starfield"? I think that answer needs to be answered first.

SPECULATION FOR EVERYONE!!!

If it's anything like previous Bethesda games, all of the above. I tend to play self-sufficient, sneaky, sniper/archer types. They both explore and build, they are loners but will try diplomacy for a peaceful solution and to form alliances first.
Starfield is the new IP I'm most looking forward to. I love scifi and the idea of Bethesda going into space is awesome.
