Unless you want your avitar to rocket to the earth faster than a bullet from a gun I suggest having either a constant timestep variable or use some sort of deltatiming method.

This is just contant ..

Const Gravity# = -9.8
const TimeStep# = .05

;each loop
If ObjectY is not on ground, then
ObjectYSpeed# = ObjectYSpeed# + Gravity * ( TimeStep * TimeStep )
ObjectY# = ObjectY# + ObjectSpeed * ( Timestep )
