Vale City was raised out of the Atlantic Ocean by the United States. The entire region is a man made island. Larger than New York, encircled with farmland on three sides, and the fourth dedicated to a massive port and deep-sea oil refinery, Vale City was the pinnacle of human life in the USA. But deep in the caves by the refinery, a blackened burnt vase was found, sealed shut with the pressure of the ages. Brought to the surface, it took months to open without damaging the pot. A maelstrom blasted forth upon its opening, flattening the museum. Aside from this, it appeared that it was just a pot.
Wisps of energy had been released from the vase, granting superhuman abilities to those they came across. But these were not the people of comics and movies. The wisps sought the dark, the evil, the violent and psychotic, the foul and cruel, and most of all, the criminal. As various criminals gained abilities across the city, a hideous underworld sprung into being. The empowered became Ganglords and Crimebosses, leading their respective thugs. 2/3 of the Vale City police force was bought up or intimidated into being nearly worthless. There were a few lost wisps, that gave good people abilities. But these were a shadow of the power of the vile. The city fell into darkness. But the city was not dead, simply plagued by evil. Even supercriminals need the functions of regular society. Only two things can kill a city. War, or Constriction by Control. And one of the two is needed to cleanse vale city.
What about you? Are you an aspiring kingpin? Or a hero, hoping to save his city. How will you live in the Shadow of the Skyline.

Inspired by the recent upsurge of superhuman roleplays, and the Netflix version of Daredevil, Shadow of the Skyline aspires to let writers bring out their dark side. You can certainly be a goodhearted hero, but sometimes, it's good to be bad.
Rules:
1. Follow all general RP forum rules (no godmodding, no character controlling without consent, etc.
2. This is an 18+ environment, and is expected to be quite violent in particular
3. Remember, heroes don't thrive here, even their powers are weaker. You can, but it's strongly advised against. You can also be a regular goon with no powers, and see if you can usurp a gang for yourself.
4. Be courteous to all writers. We're here to have fun, not to argue
5. Choose one power, and please, no duplicates. Try to avoid the cliche if you can (IE. Don't be Evil Superman). If one power lets you do two different things (IE. I control magnetism, which allows me to fly with metal objects) that's okay.
