It's the closest metaphor.
Logging in to RPG game and assuming an avatar with a body.
When a body is dead well just respawn and choose your spawning point in space and time and assume another body.
Or start over by creating another avatar.
No longer interested in the RPG game? Everything in the game has become boring?
Let's permanently logged out from the game thus disabling the avatar(s).
O.K. I would say that you use 'avatar' as possible incarnation character, that is represented by the Ego, gender and so on, of the incarnated body.
The example of a game character is good, to show this in a shorter period of time, including the influence of free will in this role.
