The mean streets of Little Nicky

Jowyverse update this time its another part of my world.. 

Little Nicky 

backstory 

Little Nicky ,which is named after the original mayor. Was once a thriving town with the worlds biggest film studio called Nicky inc. It became so famous that it was the goto place for young hopeful actors/ film makers and toons who dreamt of making a big mark in the early days of the entrainment industry.

However as technologies advanced Nicky inc began to run out of money. Unable to sustain itself it Soon was been pursued by potential buyers. One corporation known as Chimp Co wanted to build a brand new banana factory on the site. the studio refused their proposal which Chimp Co did not take very well. driven by greed They hired the infamous Monkey Mafia family to burn down the studio in a series of planed arsons. This forced Little Nicky to fee, along with many of the towns original inhabitants .The Monkey Mafia continued to work with Chimp Co running business in Little Nicky. eventually the company moved its banana business else where leaving the family free to run and control the town however they liked. At the same time outside of Little Nicky the major city of Ramsusville was growing and it soon costumed the town in to its massive metropolitan area turning it in to a separate urban neighbourhood.

Nowadays Little Nicky is an eerie dark crime filled hub run by the latest generation of the Monkey Mafia family.


Only a few of the remaining theatres/cinemas shine dim lights on to the streets that once were homed to the future stars of tomorrows world.
