Compliance Course Avatars

Hello all! I am building a compliance course (yuck right) I want to make it a little more engaging with a name variable and maybe an avatar choice. It is around the bank secrecy act for any of you that are familiar with it. I thought I might go a different route with the Avatars this time and do non-person centered avatars. Any thoughts on different objects or items to use? Has anyone done anything similar to this before? Or does anyone have any other suggestions to offer on making it a little more unique? I hate making the same boring regulation training! 

Thanks for all your help on this everyone!
