Considering deleting my character and restarting

After doing the DD business for a bit and finding that I really don't enjoy it, I stopped playing the game. However, I really enjoyed the rest of the game and am considering doing another run since I've failed to find anything else I want to play at the moment.

I'd want to recreate on the same sietech since I have a few friends that play there occasionally.

My question is, does anyone know exactly what happens if I delete my character? I naturally don't care about any of my current base and stuff, but my friends are using it so I want to know how it'll impact them.
