Prior to GR, I made a name-holder character, to keep the name I wanted to use for someone I would make in Praetoria. So, the first night-- when all the unlocked/ locked slots were acting up, I deleted him to remake him. After creating the character the way I wanted, I tried to name him, only to find the name was taken.

"No way!" I thought, astounded that the name had been snatched up in the 30 seconds or so I'd needed to pick powers and load the saved costume. But it turned out nobody had taken the name. He just hadn't deleted.

Since that time, I have tried about 8 times to delete him. He disappears from the list only to reappear later. He is just a name, however. The actual character is not visible. I tried loading him just for fun to see what would happen and I can log into the game without a body and without any powers save Brawl and my vet powers. It was kind of cool for a few minutes, playing a floating Nemesis staff, but I want that slot back for a real character.

Anyone had anything similar to this?
