Characters

A character is one in-game identity: a game, a name, a level, a gear score and a set of tags. Almost everything else in TRAX points at one.

Create a character

My Characters in the sidebar, then Create Character.

Game — required, and permanent in practice: a character belongs to exactly one game.
Name, and optionally an avatar and a description. The description is a good place for a build link.
Level and Gear Score. These are matched against slot requirements, so keep them roughly current.
Tags on the right — this is the important one. See below.
Create.

Straight after creating, TRAX offers Add to your guilds — Choose the guilds where {name} should be available. Tick the guilds and confirm, or Skip.

Tags are the matching rule

Tags come from a shared catalogue — you pick from it, you do not create your own. They describe what a character can do: Tank, Healer, Ranged, and so on.

A character fits a slot only if it has every tag that slot requires. A slot asking for Healer + Ranged will not take a character tagged only Healer. Extra tags never hurt — they only make a character eligible for more slots.

So: tag generously and honestly. Under-tagging is the single most common reason a character never gets picked up by auto-match or shows as ineligible when joining an event.

Characters and guilds

A character is yours; making it visible to a guild is a separate link. There are four ways to create that link:

The Add to your guilds dialog right after creating the character.
Open the character from My Characters — the Guilds section lists its guilds, each with a Leave button.
An officer adding it from Guild → Manage → Roster → Add Characters.
Automatically, when you accept a guild invitation or when an officer accepts an application that included the character.

The same character can be in several guilds at once.

Finding a character later

The My Characters table has a search box, a row of game chips, and a Filters button holding level range, gear score range and tags. When filters are active the button reads Filters ({count}); Clear resets them.

Who can see your characters

Only you can create, edit or delete your characters — no permission is involved. Members of a guild you have added a character to can see it if they have read access to users in that guild, which is how officers build rosters. See Roles & permissions.

Activities per character

Opening a character also shows an Activities list — Interested / Not interested plus a Completions count. That interest flag is exactly what LFG sets, and the completion count is what activity rosters sort by.
