Avatars are the titular characters of the James Cameron franchise of the same name.
History[]
Description[]
Avatars are genetically altered human-Na'vi hybrids when their consciousness are transferred into a Na'vi body and allows them to interact with the world of Pandora.
An avatar was created and a cryo berth reserved for scientist Tom Sully aboard the ISV Venture Star, scheduled to arrive at Pandora in mid-2154. However, Tom met an untimely death at the hands of thieves a week before embarking for Pandora. His twin brother Jake was quickly recruited by RDA agents into the Avatar Program. Since Jake's genetic makeup was identical to his brother's, he was able to use the avatar created for Tom, albeit with no training prior to his arrival on Pandora.
At the end of the movie, Jake's consciousness was successfully transferred from his human body into his avatar body by his mother-in-law, Mo'at.
