| | Create a "character sheet" component that caches a user's avatars, reputation and other stats from various virtual worlds. | The character sheet can be then used to instigate a "set avatar" command on a virtual world the user is in. Ideally, avatar format translation could happen on the fly between avatar source and destination.
