Welcome to the forums!

To make your character your avatar, edit a screenshot then go to UserCP>Edit Avatar>Custom Avatar, make sure the image you use follows the size guidelines shown there.

To get your character to face you for the screenshot, you could use the choose a pirate screen. Or if you prefer an in game shot, right click the screen and drag the mouse to change the camera angle while standing still.

Oh yeah, I never thought of that, TooHip!! Thanks!!

Yet another question though. I tried to upload my avatar (which I'll have to make a new one now ) and it gave me an error message? Does it have to be a JPG or something like that? Thanks.

You should be able to use JPG or GIF. If you get an error, copy it and let me know exactly what it says.
