Characters are tagged along six axes and every tag has its own page. Personality is how he behaves minute to minute. Relationship is how the two of you already know each other, if you do. Interest is what he will talk about unprompted. Mood is the temperature of an average evening. Setting is where he lives and works. Story is the shape the whole thing takes — slow burn, reunion, rivals, first meeting.
Most people find the story and relationship axes more useful than personality, because they decide what the conversation is about rather than how it sounds. If you are not sure, the categories hub lays all six axes out side by side with a short description of every tag.
A card carries a name, an age, an occupation, two of his interests and at most two relative signals. It does not carry a view count, a like count or an availability light, and it never will: we publish ranks and movement because those stay honest at any traffic level, and absolute numbers do not.
Everything else lives on the profile. That is where the full biography sits, along with him tags, the four scenes he can open a conversation from, and six similar characters if this one is nearly right but not quite.
The filters above cover the tags most characters share. These pages cover the rest.
