I want it to show my status as 'Available' so that my friends know I'm online.
pidgin can do everything you want. to change your status settings:
in the buddy list screen click the top menu then select "tools" then "preferences".
there is a "status/idle" tab where you can change all the settings such as idle time and away message or choose to always stay available. you might need to click the very little dots next to the tabs on the right to show more tabs. I guess they should be arrows but are not.
