First, I assume you are asking about the term that comes from religion, so let's talk about what an "avatar" is. In the Hindu religion, it is believed that the Deity (God) can take a human body and come to earth. Here is how to use this word: For many Hindus, the god Krishna is an avatar of Lord Vishnu; in other words, Vishnu is the Supreme Lord, who lives in the Spiritual World, but he took a human body and appeared on earth as Krishna several thousand years ago.

There is also an internet expression for a visual image (usually fictional-- like a cartoon character) which you use to represent yourself and serve as your online identity; also, in some online games, an avatar refers to the character you are playing in that game. He was playing a war game with his friends, so he chose an avatar that looked fierce.
