While PLEX bought in-game is a normal in-game item, PLEX bought from out-of-game sources appear in your [[redeeming window]], and must first be redeemed (i.e. transferred) to one of the characters on that account, where it will appear as an item at that character's location (in the station's item hangar or the ship's cargo bay). It can then be moved, transported, and sold like any other in-game item. It's highly recommended that you only redeem PLEX when your character is either at a [[~~Trade hubs|~~trade hub]] or if you intend to use it immediately (see [[#PLEX safety|below]]).

Once redeemed, you can right-click on the PLEX item to add 30 days of game time, exchange it for Aurum, etc - note that these actions consume the PLEX.

=== Biomassing ===

You can permanently delete a character (this is referred to as "biomassing") from the character selection screen. When you first select a character for biomassing, you then have to wait 10 hours (this "biomassing queue" is to prevent you from deleting the wrong character by accident). Note that you cannot biomass a character who is the [[CEO]] of a [[corporation]] - the CEO must first resign or otherwise close the corporation before they can be added to the biomassing queue. Once the 10 hours are up, you can then biomass the character (accompanied by some mechanical sounds and an appropriate scream), deleting it permanently from the game.

If the character was a member of a player-run corporation, the following will happen:

Line 135:

For characters in a [[NPC Corporations|NPC corporation]], all their assets and ISK are destroyed when they are biomassed.

While it's possible for [[CCP]] to recover biomassed characters, it is unlikely they would be able to recover or return any lost/transferred assets. If a character is "reanimated" in this way, it occasionally leaves anomalies in the character's employment history (such as showing that they left a corporation and joined it again immediately without being in another corporation, which is not possible under normal conditions). Internally, biomassed characters have their corporation set as [[Doomheim]] though cannot be searched in-game.
