If I send my toon to be terminated, after the 10 hours and death will I be able to reuse the name of it? If so, is their a delay to using the same name?
I ask 'cus I don't really want to kill my character for the name to never be used again.

Thanks in advance

In my experience name is available to be used immediately after character has been deleted.

I did that with my alt erialam since I wanted to move him to other account but didn't want to pay transfer fee. Also he didn't have much skills at the time.

keep in mind that if a character is over a day or two old, there's no point in deleting him, as the only differences between starting skills are things like "racial frigate" and "basic racial weapon" which can be trained in a day or so.

Unless your portrait is pissing you off so much that you want a completely different sex or bone structure.
