A form of cheating where a player creates a character in a game, (usually an RPG), and gets another player (or another character) to pass money and high-powered items to the low-level character, thus giving them an unfair head-start in the game. Thus, a twinked 1st level character could be armed with a magic sword, armour and shield that they shouldn't have access to until much later in the game.
