I originally bought my EVE subscription through Origin because they offered a free Catalyst. Did I lose some API functionality versus just buying it through CCP ? Can I do character transfers? Are all features enabled?

We've found it. We've found a person who uses Origin of their own volition.

Basically, you could remove Origin and still play eve.

You'll have full access to everything I'm sure. As for API that's blocked for a short while for everyone after newly created characters. It will become active.

I suggest we shut them in the decontamination chamber.

Good news is, you are not limited in anything. But do yourself a favor and uninstall anything origin related, than call EA and ask them kindly to shove your account up their a-holes and delete all your user data. Takes a few attempts, as their lines are probably full of customers demanding the same.
Bad news - not even a daily shower will remove the stench left by using Origin in the first place. Some studies (not yet fnished) appear to be close to confirming it also leaves a mark on your soul. That will never go away and you will be stuck to using similar poor quality services by other , most probably even worse , companies.
Yeah and welcome to EVE.

Looking for a group to pew with ? Have a chat with me.

Are you nuts? Do you have any idea how much a decontamination chamber costs?

Incineration chamber then? Or possibly evacuation chamber. Otherwise known as an airlock. Lol

You just sold your soul to EA.

So many likes for the Origin bashing! Lol

If true, I found it fitting that they offered a catalyst, a ship that's not particularly hard to come by, even for new players.

You make a valid point, good Sir or Madam.

I don't think an incinerator will be enough to remove the origin contaminates.. how about we put him in a rocket and send him into the sun?
( along with all of EA that are responsible for it )

How can any company be worse than EA, it can't be possible. But you are right about the stench
