What is Avatar in Games ?

You have seen Avatar in Games. Everybody likes to know about Avatar.  Avatar is a type of doll which looks and acts like a human, animal or other characterful being. Avatars are very common in platform, adventure and roleplaying games and often the focus of a game’s story. Some games provide the player with a pre-canned avatar (Mario, Max Payne) whereas others (especially roleplaying games) allow him to customise it to a greater or lesser degree.

You would like to know that Avatars are sometimes informally named as ‘characters’ or ‘player characters’.
