A character in a story. The player’s avatar in a game. An action figure. We all have deep familiarity with that.
To incarnate into a new reality you identify with a character.

It is not necessarily a character per se, but something akin to a body : an element through which you can influence and be influenced by the reality. Consider your mouse cursor for example : it lacks the humanization/personality of a character, at least imo, yet is the way you interact with most of your computer.

Hmm, mouse pointer as minimal avatar. Interesting.
