Link is the herot from the series of game called 'Zelda'. you must probaly have heard from anme alone, else you cna alway google it.
As for the eyes showing from behing the slightly tranparent hairs, it's a stylistic choice that is sometime found in manga and animish inspired drawing, I think it's supposed to show the hair are very thin on the front or something like that.
(not a fan of it either, I have to say.)
As for you own avatar, he looks kind of .. noodly, even for a stick figure (character look very lanky with a feeling the limbs are kinda long), not nessecarily a bad thing though, just look different from usual OOts. (dod'nt know if it's menat as volontary choice)
He kinda look like a rockstar too. (Mick Jaeger was a drow, who knew )
