Character Analysis - Jake Sully in Avatar

             After the RDA's unsuccessful attempt to occupy Pandora, Jake Sully and the Na'vi inhabitants forced the humans to go back to their planet. Jake makes his last entry log, explaining that he would permanently stay in his avatar. Returning to the Tree of Souls, the Na'vi allow him to undergo the body transfer, from his human body to his avatar body.
