If you don't want to play any more, just stop logging in.
Level 1 accounts are deleted after 9 months of inactivity. Otherwise accounts are not deleted.
If you choose to play again later, and your existing account still exists, just log into it. If your account has been deleted, you will be clear to start a new one.

You can't delete your character; you can however kill it off. You can kill off a character either by sunning (plotting a ship course into a sun), jumping into a system with black holes (ex: the Maw), or you can ask someone to execute you. If you kill your character, you will lose everything that you have made so far, with the exception of the CP's, the CP's stay with you. If you do plan on killing your character to take a break, then after the waiting period you should be able to make a new character and start playing again. I believe the waiting period is about 3 weeks.
It's going to be a very long, irritating process for when I decide to sneak back into playing, so that no sneaky GE biased admins can tell people who I am/was! fwafwafwa...see you all in 9 months!...or will you? >_>
From what Sin was saying, any character, regardless of respawns or whatever, will still result in a account deletion after 9 months, assuming the new character is under level 1.
