History Roleplay / VantagePoint

* HammerSpace: Triz's power is based on this concept; her weapon of choice falls under DropTheHammer.

Vantage Point is a superhero/sci-fi roleplay that takes place half in JournalRoleplay via CharacterBlog on Tumblr, and half in PlayByPostGame sessions on Skype. It tells the story of El Asilo, CA, a city that was once a refuge for anyone with superpowers, a community where supers could come, share their experiences, and coexist in piece. Those with dangerous powers could get the help they needed, others with less consequential ones could feel welcome in a place where everyone was like them. The city saw its fair share of villains, of course, but they were always shut down efficiently by small, organized groups of superheroes doing their part to keep El Asilo safe for everyone.

[[{{Characters/Vantage Point}}Character Character sheets]] are on a separate page because there's nearly a city's population worth of them.
