Looking on the internet I found this brief paragraph on wikipedia that summarises up what the meaning of self concept is:
"This brief overview of self-concept theory has focused on describing the ways people organize and interpret their inner world of personal existence. The beginnings of self-concept theory and its recent history have been discussed. Three major qualities of self-concept--that it is: (1) learned, (2) organized, and (3) dynamic--have been presented. Individuals have within themselves relatively boundless potential for developing a positive and realistic self-concept. This potential can be realized by people, places, policies, programs, and processes that are intentionally designed to invite the realization of this potential."
Now this interested me because it doesn't mean realising the awareness of one self but the understanding of one self. To make this avatar work I have to understand what I'm like. The article on wikipedia also states that self concept can be influenced by my beliefs, ideas, habits and attitude towards life.
I think now that I have read this I am going to look at what I feel/belief in. This may show me a good idea of how I would like my avatar to turn out.
