Over 20 years ago, my husband named our dog Avatar. He said it was a character from the adult animated movie called Heavy Metal. LOL

Judie

Duh.. I should have known.. Can't we google anything ??

Thank you Katei.. I appreciate you. I would have been putting words in google for a month before I got the right ones.. The secret of finding stuff is asking for the right thing!

Even tho I'm 68 I've played many computer RPG's (Role Playing Games) where I am the hero usually out searching the countryside for dragons, monsters and all round baddies. This person is known as the avatar so I always thought it meant a leader or hero. What does the dictionary say? (Too lazy to look it up)

Judie

Avatar: (according to Webster's New Collegiate dictionary)
1: the incarnation of a Hundu deity (as Vishnu)

2: a: an incarnation in human form b: an embodiment (as of a concept or philosophy) usually in a person

3: a variant phase or version of a continuing basic entity.


So you're right.. That hero you play is just a 'variant version' of YOU! Perhaps it's the real you and the smiling 68 year old is the variant version... perhaps?

You mean like those times I'm dying to pick up a sword and wale away? Thanks Judie!
