Heya WAM4T0,
Please see BUG-7653 for this bug.
The latest AMD Catalyst Omega 14.12 release graphics driver (8.17.0010.1333) has a known bug which causes all rigged mesh to be invisible unless hardware skinning is disabled. You are currently using this buggy driver version. The starter avatars are made of rigged mesh.
If you disable hardware skinning under Me -> Preferences -> Graphics -> Advanced, this will work around the problem but it isn't an ideal solution.
The best workaround for now is to either: Roll back your graphics drivers to the Catalyst 14.9 release or the Catalyst 14.4 release version. Older AMD drivers can be found here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/download/desktop/previous?os=Windows
You can also find more information and an alternative workaround on these 2 blog posts by Inara Pey:

- https://modemworld.wordpress.com/2014/12/13/amd-catalyst-drivers-additional-windows-workaround/
Or... If you are happy using beta driver versions, update to the new AMD 15.5 beta catalyst version - this driver has a fix for the bug. See https://modemworld.wordpress.com/2015/03/21/amds-catalyst-15-3-beta-driver-offers-sl-mesh-fix/ for details. Catalyst beta 15.5 download: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/latest-catalyst-windows-beta.aspx
Remember to tick "Hardware skinning" in graphics preferences again once you changed your driver version.
Hope that helps :)
