Avatars and Game Characters
An Avatar is any character that is controllable by a human game player. Bots are computer characters that only the computer can control. Then you have primary characters like in Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong, or Sonic. Most of the time the primary characters are linked with avatars since most of the time you can control the primary characters. A secondary character would be a character that is linked to the primary character, but most of the time the computer runs that character or the second human player if you would have two controllers. Tertiary characters are characters that are involved in the background, as if you are playing Madden 2010. The crowd or the referees are tertiary characters because they are just there in the background and you have no control over them.
