While looking around the site i just randomly had this amazing idea! I currently have 2 ideas so i'll explain them both.

1. On your profile just like that 3D applet for when you upload skins it shows your current skin that you have on in that 3D applet form like thing.

2. You get a basic Minecraft avatar on your profile again in the 3D applet form As you earn XP you also get a currency such as diamond gold or something. And you can use that currency to buy clothing and such to customize your avatar how you want it to! Then when you have it you can download your avatar and use it in Minecraft!

#2 possible addon - Minecraft users can upload the clothing such as boots,leggings,chestplate, and helmet and possibly just for looks let your avatar hold a weapon like a sword that you can buy in the shop aswell.

I hope Planet Minecraft takes my idea into consideration and would like to see it on her if possible. Thanks for looking!

The 3D Applet could cause some problems though .

(Loading pages slower , etc.)

Well, it doesn't have to be the 3D applet. I was just suggesting it to be like the 3D applet so you can see all around the character.

The whole point of this idea is just to have a avatar that you can customize from eithier moderator designs or let others design them and also let you play as your customized character.

Would there be any way to implement it in any type of form? I was using 3D applet as a example as where you can see all around the avatar.

A Still image but you can still pan around it?

This would require lots of coding.

Excatly! Also, a feature to allow you to take the skin file and upload it so you can use it as your skin on Minecraft

So you are asking to have your avatar be a generated screenshot of a player model with a skin of your choosing and equipment of your choice on the character, limited by level and/or rank?
