Recently there's been a trend of extremely powerful characters in the RP community on tumblr, and characters that can use magic. I'm pretty sure magic isn't canon, and one of the basic rules of making a fan character is that they don't break the "rules" of canon. Also, fighting with an overpowered character is usually skewed in the OP'd characters favor, and I prefer to get my characters into fair fights. I've considered calling them out on their behavior, but... I'm afraid I'll get yelled at.
What do you guys think?

I am glad I am not the only one who has noticed this trend XD Yes I completely agree, I try to avoid any magic talk in the fandom, and if it even happens I just brush it aside, like magic is an unimpressive tired old thing in the monster world. The worst part is that I play Johnny, who is a stubborn ass, so I will set up a problem where maybe he can grow a little as a character (show some sort of compassion for OK for example) but then the magic characters will just snap their fingers and make it better.. so Johnny learns nothing and the whole thing was sort of pointless XD I don't want to step on any feet here though, to each their own (like I said I just avoid rping with cretin characters due to their magic) I rp a lot with a Vince character, and I like the way he uses magic, its very moderate (At least in our rps) there's not been anything I've rolled my eyes at thus far XD So maybe if the others could be a little held back with it then it could be more tolerable.
But yes, you are not the only one who has noticed!

I personally haven't rped with someone who has godmodded yet. If that were the case I would immediately tell them that they are and explain it to them what they are doing is not rational.

There will be godmodding in any fandom....I've had to refuse RPing with several people because I read their RPs and saw they had a bad habit of godmodding. In some cases you can talk to them about it, but other times you have to just cut ties.
