    Twink is a character given gear much better than they could normally attain.

    I doubt OP meant to be offensive when they used that particular term to describe alts. I believe it's a fairly common term used in WoW and (possibly) other MMOs.

    Taken directly from the wikia page:
    "Twink (WoW) - A low-level character made more powerful by higher-level characters, usually through gifts of armor and weapons that the character would not normally have at such low level. Also used as a verb to describe the act of giving low-level characters powerful items uncommon at their level. "

    No it is not, and if it were, it would be an obvious slur at gay culture.

    "Twinking is a type of behavior in role-playing video games. A player who engages in such behavior is known as a twink. The precise definition of twinking varies depending on the variety of role-playing game. In "pen and paper" role-playing games, a twink is often synonymous with a munchkin. In MUDs, a twink is a player who is variously anything from a munchkin to a newbie to a griefer. In MMORPGs, twinking refers to a character gaining equipment with the assistance of a higher level character, particularly by giving said low level character higher level equipment that is otherwise unattainable, or the process of keeping a video game character at a low level while using in-game currency, earned by a high level character, to provide it with superior equipment."
