Avatar

The Avatar is a visual representation of the player's character. A player's own avatar appears in the top left corner of the screen, on the left side of the header. If the player is in a party, their partymate's avatars will also appear in the header.

Clicking on your own avatar usually takes you to your Tasks page; if you are already on the Tasks page, it takes you to the Avatar page in the User tab instead. Clicking on a party member's avatar brings up that player's profile.

Customization Options
There are many ways to customize the appearance of your avatar. From the User menu, you can change your body type, shirt, hair style and color, and skin color. These options are explained in detail on the Avatar Customizations page. You can further dress up your character with equipment.

In addition to customizing your character's body and clothing, you can further embellish your avatar with a pet, a mount, and a background.

Information Shown in Avatar
In addition to customization options, avatars contain some information about a player. A small box at the bottom right of a player's avatar displays the player's level. This same box contains an arrow icon if the player is currently buffed, as well as a + icon if the player has used an Orb of Rebirth. If the player is a contributor, this box will appear in the color corresponding to their tier; otherwise it will be grey.

Mousing over a player's avatar causes their username to appear in the upper left corner of the avatar.
