How do I make characters fall faster?

Update your Terminal Velocity in Project Settings/Physics, this is also where World Gravity is located.

By default Terminal Velocity is set to 4000units/s (Centimeters/s) which is 144 KMs/h

5600 would be a humans terminal velocity given -980cm/s gravity

Also, you need to use the Change Velocity Bool on Add Impulse
