The abstract characteristics of deigetic persons.
Note that some games have this pattern without having Avatars. Most table-top roleplaying games (such as GURPS and earlier editions of Dungeons and Dragons) support use of Avatars in combat situations but make it optional, while the computer game Alter Ego keep track of Attributes for the player but doesn't present the player's Character in a Game World.
