For cyberspace chat and games, avatars are usually a picture of a face, or a whole body, or a drawing of a character. In graphics-heavy environments they usually have 3D bodies -- animated avatars.
In Seducity, the avatars are cartoon-type characters. Unlike 3D-chat avatars, these characters have highly expressive faces and a range of facial expressions. This makes the chat more personal and it's easier to communicate nuances of emotion.
You can also use the avatars for roleplaying. Characters can be customized a great deal. They can even be dressed up as doctors, nurses, dominatrixes, maids, etc. The role-playing possibilities are especially good for cybersex play. Virtual reality avatars bring a new dimension to cyber sex that regular text-chat just can't compare to.
