Any Role Players around?
Anyone has the book "Faiths & Avatars" of AD&D?
Avatars are sometimes incarnations of gods & goddesses in our world, and sometimes just their chosen champions that walk the earth...

I found this in Ralph Brown Listings
---------
AVATAR
******
(Advanced Video Attribute Terminal Assembler and Recreator) A
set of control codes which may be used to affect the output of
characters to the screen on systems equipped with an appropriate
driver. Similar in intent to ANSI sequences, AVATAR has shorter
command sequences and provides additional PC-specific functionality.
AVATAR is primarily used by the Opus and Maximus bulletin board systems
(it was designed by one of the developers of the Opus system).

In Sanskrit AVTAR= incarnation.

yup Avtar is the exact sanskrit word now extensively used in Hindi lang too.

Just for Some Chit-Chat.

i think that in greek mythology they use avatar (maybe not the exact word) to mean a god in human form, or a god that has come down to earth.
