Godmoding: Behavior that gives one's own character an unfair advantage.
Godmoding is basically when your character can do something that is impossible. This gives them an unfair advantage over the other roleplayer(s). Godmoding is also known as twinking or powergaming and is frowned upon in most RP sites. It is very important to know that you can not godmode on here, even in your bio histories.
Some examples:
A huge, fully grown caracal is fighting with an adult domestic cat. The domestic cat beats the caracal. -------------------- This is an example of godmoding. Caracals usually weigh from 24-40 pounds and domestic cats are much smaller than that. So realistically, the domestic cat would NOT be able to beat the caracal, unless the caracal isn't fighting back. Now if it was a domestic cat x domestic cat fight, it would be completely fine if one of the domestic cats won. It is realistic, unlike the caracal x domestic cat fight with the domestic cat winning.
Another example:
Imagine that a cat jumps from a tree that is 300 ft. tall and lands perfectly on the ground. This cat has no broken bones or scratches whatsoever. -------------------- This is another example of godmoding. If you think of it, cats (and humans alike) can't jump from trees and land on their feet without getting a scratch, or broken a bone, for that matter.
