Am I missing something here Kevin? An avatar is a graphical image of a user, such as used in graphical real-time Chat applications, or, a graphical personification of a computer or a computer process, intended to make the computing or network environment a more friendly place. Basically stated, it's the image you use to present yourself to others on a website. EDIT=============================================== Avatar on Nickelodeon is an animation about a fun-loving boy with special powers who awakens from a 100-year sleep to find the world at war and himself the only hope for peace.

My picture is me and my avatar. yours is the t-rex.

avatar (′av·É™′tär) (computer science) A virtual representation of a person or a person's interactions with others in a virtual environment, conveying a sense of someone's presence (known as telepresence) by providing the location (position and orientation) and identity; examples include the graphical human figure model, the talking head, and the real-time reproduction of a three-dimesional human image.

It's a show on the kid's channel Nickelodeon. It's full name is Avatar: The Last Airbender. It's basically like any other children's cartoon; some kid has to save the world. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender The picture is of the main character "Aang"

The last decent show to ever come from Nickelodeon.

Avatar is a word that has many difinitions. Kid Show - Really awesome cartoon that is about some kids in a world of element controlling people, during a war that has lasted over 100 years. If the Avatar (Aang) doesnt beat the bad guy (Fire Lord) by the time a comet passes over the world (giving "fire bender" superpowers) than the worlds last free stronghold will fall. Aang has only months to master all the elements if he even has a chance to beat the fire lord. If you wanna see some of hte episodes, I recommend www.VEOH.com Avatar (history) - "In Hindu philosophy, an avatar (also spelled as avatara) (Sanskrit: अवतार, avatāra), most commonly refers to the incarnation (bodily manifestation) of a higher being (deva), or the Supreme Being (God) onto planet Earth. The Sanskrit word avatāra- literally means "descent" (avatarati) and usually implies a deliberate descent into lower realms of existence for special purposes. The term is used primarily in Hinduism, for incarnations of Vishnu whom many Hindus worship as God. Shiva and Ganesha are also described as descending in the form of avatars, with the Ganesha Purana and the Mudgala Purana detailing Ganesha's avatars specifically. "The word has also been used by extension to refer to the incarnations of God or highly influential teachers in other religions, especially by adherents to dharmic traditions when explaining figures such as Jesus." - WIKIPEDIA Your Little picture - the little picture that is beside your name
