I'd give an "avatar constellation" a flavor of Tilt, probably a
Bond of some sort. There's a new Soul skill in BREAK.TODAY that
could work very well for this sort of thing. 

I see several constellations, myself: 
* The Blood and Freedom Triad: Dark Stalker, Flying Woman,
Masterless Man 
* The Meep-Meep Duo: Fool, Trickster (antagonistic)
* The Court: True King, Necessary Servant, Pilgrim, Fool,
Two-Faced Man, Chronicler, Confessor, Executioner, Messenger,
Warrior
* The UnderAgora: Demagogue, Scholar, Merchant, Algerian Hero,
Rebel, Outsider
