The most accessible account for me that I’ve found on why a transchromatic character is a generalisation of an ordinary character is in the first 7 pages of an undergraduate thesis, albeit one supervised by Lurie:

Probably not what we’d normally use. Anyway, I’ll copy over the idea there of group characters as the zero-th cohomology of $Map(S^1,B G)$.
