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.

(jargon) | avatar
n.
[in Hindu mythology, the incarnation of a god]
1. Among people working on virtual reality and cyberspace interfaces, an
avatar is an icon or representation of a user in a shared virtual reality.
The term is sometimes used on MUDs.
2. [CMU, Tektronix] root, superuser. There are quite a few Unix
machines on which the name of the superuser account is ‘avatar’ rather than
‘root’. This quirk was originated by a CMU hacker who found the terms root
and superuser unimaginative, and thought ‘avatar’ might better impress
people with the responsibility they were accepting.
