   1.  An image representing a user in a
   multi-user virtual reality (or VR-like, in the case of
   Palace) space.

   2. (CMU, Tektronix) root, superuser.  There are quite a
   few Unix computers on which the name of the superuser
   account is "avatar" rather than "root".  This quirk was
   originated by a CMU hacker who disliked the term
   "superuser", and was propagated through an ex-CMU hacker at
   Tektronix.
