Toon City

Toon City is the sprawling cartoon metropolis area on the restored world of Dimsdale following the end of the Toon Wars, which replaces the Forgotten Society after it was destroyed and the Toon Force learned it was really led not by Doug Funnie, but by the Toon God. Like the former, it features both Cartoon Network and Nickeldeon shows from any era of their airing but heavily emphasizes their freedom whether cancelled, ongoing, or officially concluded. This mindset was implemented during the restoration phase of reality after Jimmy Neutron took note of the Forgotten Society's origins and mistreatment, and the rules of the multiverse created prior to the Toon Wars. With both networks united under a single body rather than two separate universes, the new Toonverse uses the city as its capital and nexus point. However, access to the former CN City had been rendered unavailable as it was abandoned during the war (only accessible through alternate means from custom teleporters or off-world portals). Once select members of the Toon Force departed to explore Unknown Space, the Horde Syndicate, led by Cyber Catra, attacked the city threatening to bombard it and other worlds if the Toon Force were to ever respond. They were defeated with the help of the New Toon Force, created by Blue Hat. However, that too was a trick meant to allow Black Hat and Catra access to the Fourth Wall. With it, they quickly began transforming the Toonverse into their Horde Empire, completely distorting the look of Toon City into a menacing dark capital city for Black Hat. Fortunately, the New Toon Force created by the villains themselves came back to defeat them, restoring everything with the Fourth Wall Controls in time for the Javelin crew to return from their short voyage. From there, Jimmy Neutron expanded the Toon Force with a new headquarters centered in Toon City, now including an academy initiative which trained many new cartoons into becoming protectors of the universe.

More than a century later in the Dark Disney future, Toon City had been completely abandoned, left to rot and become the site of multiple salvage operations conducted by S.H.I.E.L.D. and the mining guild of the Stormtrooper Corp. Max would jump forward in time here and learn that the many technologies the city had used were considered to beyond Disney's or just about any other universe's understanding but were salvaged as valuables and expensive building materials. The Disneyverse's capital where Castle Disney lies was build next door to Toon City across the waters.

## Geography

Toon City, overall, resembles the look of the Forgotten Society, CN City, and a futuristic metropolis, making it perhaps the most developed location of the Toonverse. Being the universe's capital, it acts as a hub area, featuring stations across town where characters from all kinds of cartoons can teleport in or out. The floors are relatively clean, sometimes tiled to represent the black and white checkers of Cartoon Network. The main buildings vary in sizes from small, tall, to gigantic, large enough to reach a low cloud. The city streets tend to be curved and wide for people to navigate through easily without the aid of a car, which could be replaced with small hover vehicles akin to those made by Dexter in his lab. Transits had also been implemented, stretching across all but the capital district, which it instead loops around.

Since its borrowing the design principles of CN City, Toon City has a plethora of neighborhoods, vehicles, and other technologies made to resemble their respective cartoons. Some assets, formerly belonging to the Forgotten Society, also pop up in very subtle ways, such as the altar being merged as part of the capital building. The building itself was modeled after the Mayor's office from Townsville.

Although Toon City is mostly technology-based, Sam Manson's comment on everything feeling artificial, and the natural feel of the Forgotten City led to the city having plenty of flora and fauna, most seen in patches of grass aligned with the floors around town, clean waters flowing on either side of some of the walkways, garden districts, and a large central park. For a cleaner air and water supply, Dexter had also implemented very subtle technologies made to kill off any pollutants that may infect the plant life. These can sometimes be recognized at the edges of town by the ocean and in the thin street lights.

## Locations

* Warp District - The entrance of Toon City where beings with access can enter. This is normally where new or recovered cartoons arrive.
* 2000's District - An area of town resembling the classic look of CN City full of historic memorabilia for Nick and CN cartoons. This is seen to the left of the capital.
* Recreational District - This is where most of the activities of Toon City are held, featuring games, classes, and a huge shopping mall with its own theater.
* Neighborhood District - The largest area of town stretching from the left of the capital to the far end of town, made to resemble the Cul-de-sac from Ed Edd n' Eddy, the layout of Dimsdale, and other similar cartoons. This typically acts as a home for characters who're missing their worlds or to act as a secondary home for those with a cartoon.
* Garden Districts - These are where people can grow things for food or to aid in the natural fauna. Classes on these are often held here.
* Central Park- The second largest area of town resembling the open parts of Amity Park, Retroville, and Elmore.
* Capital District - The central area of the metropolis where the office building and largest statue for the Toon Force reside. It was later expanded slightly to make the main building bigger and to act as an additional entrance to the new Toon Force Headquarters constructed after Crossover Forces.
* Toon Force Headquarters - The Toon Force Headquarters is where heroes of the Toonverse reside to train or monitor the universe for dangerous activities. It was made as a new and improved hub area replacing the original Toon Force H.Q. present during the war. When the Horde Empire briefly took over and new heroes cropped up to stop them, Jimmy got to work with help from Entrapta and Emily to finish construction of the facility, incorporating all sorts of areas of activity, including the Toon Force Initiation Program designed to train premier defenders of the Toonverse for the foreseeable future. Veteran members of the Toon Force usually come here to teach recruits about their experiences and how they can learn from them. Sub areas within the headquarters include:
	+ Barracks
	+ Dojos
	+ Phantom Training Room
	+ Robotics and Science Area
	+ Entrapta's Garage
	+ Neutron/Fenton Mini Lab
	+ Warp Room
	+ Vehicle Training

## History

After the defeat of the Toon God, Jimmy Neutron was given access to the Fourth Wall controls with the option to completely restore reality and/or modify its properties. One such change was administered to the Forgotten Society, totally rebooting it a new metropolis designed to welcome all sorts of worlds at the center of the new Toonverse. Immediately, new cartoons, even pilots began to establish jobs and housing areas for those who didn't have a world to inhabit. To govern the city, Future Timmy was appointed while plans for the eventual Toon Republic would be drafted by Jimmy Neutron. In his effort to find inspiration for this government, Jimmy proposed a deep voyage to Unknown Space where they can visit other worlds and interview them. At the time he and the crew of the Javelin, their personal vessel, launched out of the Toonverse, Tulip Olsen from Infinity Train is introduced by One-One to the busling town. They explore for a while until one of the Horde Syndicate's leaders, Orangusnake, made his announcement to Toon City via broadcast. He held the city (and to a large extent the universe) hostage by threatening to bombard everyone with his army of Echo Drones and modded Battloon Fleet should any member of the Toon Force attempt to disrupt their mission. To demonstrate, some of the drones from the Invincible, sat cloaked above the planet, swarm the streets and attack the citizens and mayor. At the same time, they abduct both Tulip and One-One as per their plan to capture the Infinity Train and other new places. Fortunately, Blue Hat, a hero from an opposite timeline, arrived with his crew when the villains fled. He gathered enough heroes, even rescuing Tulip, to form the New Toon Force as a small strike team to cripple the Horde Syndicate's operations. They mainly used Toon City's capital as a meeting place before their first mission, returning after their fight in CN City to bring Cyber Catra, the mastermind, into custody.

What everyone failed to realize was Blue Hat was, in reality, Black Hat playing an act to gain everyone's trust in hopes of reaching the Fourth Wall Controls to bend the universe to his command. After imprisoning his pawns, Black Hat set about freezing all the Toon Force worlds and transformed Toon City into the Horde Capital. He also brought the Battloon Fleet in atmosphere as part of Catra's ultimate goal of destroying Etheria once a portal to the Netflix Omniverse had been opened. In response to any resistance from the people, he used the Fourth Wall to totally lobotomize them into mindless drones leaving only the New Toon Force and Future Timmy unaltered so they could witness their suffering. Despite what seemed to be a hopeless situation, Adorabat still believed Mao Mao, who was missing at the time, would return to free everyone and defeat Black Hat and Catra, which would quickly be proven true when he came with an entire army of people from the New Toon Force's worlds. Together, they freed and restored the trapped civilians, fending off against the Horde Empire's army until the Battloons were destroyed along with the capital. Black Hat, his men, as well as Catra were all defeated in a few hours, leaving what was Toon City utterly ruined from the chaos. Thankfully, with the reality controls, Future Timmy and Entrapta were able to completely restore it back to how it was before Black Hat's takeover.

Following the defeat of the Horde Empire, the Javelin crew returned and began establishing the Toon Republic, as well as a new headquarters for the expanded Toon Force stationed in Toon City. During the Dark Disney Future, the metropolis was left abandoned and scrapped for parts for the capital of the Disneyverse next door. One of the Underground's stations were there before it was discovered by the Enforcers. Max arrived here in this version of the timeline after accidentally installing a faulty hyperdrive, leading him to meet the Underground and eventually return to the past to stop the Disney regime.

## Culture

Since the revelation that cartoons could be subject to cancellation or looping from the real world, having a hand in the formation of the Toon Wars, Jimmy Neutron invented Toon City to be the centerpiece of the Toonverse's mindset moving forward. That being that all media, old, new, canceled, or concluded, can thrive without the need of their respective networks or creators. However, in spite of everyone's knowledge, out of fear that their self awareness could lead to corruption like those in the Toon Wars, Jimmy adjusted a vast majority of everyone's intellect to refrain from being too deep in the Fourth Wall. Essentially being self aware but not to the point of suffering from an existential crisis. This also meant that most people in the Toonverse would have a general understanding of the war and how they impacted the universe as a whole. Including that the Toon Force, or certain members of them (i.e. Bimm, Nicole, Jimmy, Danny, Momotaro, or Spongebob), were responsible for ending it. As a result, those who hadn't been a crucial part of the war or those restored in the Final Days look up to the Toon Force as legends, inspiring newer cartoons to join the Initiation Program established after Crossover Forces. Notably, since characters like Fink, Professor Venomous, or even Plankton had been a part of the Toon Force to some capacity despite being classed as villains in their respective worlds, the program, let alone people residing in the city still treat them equally. Overall, characters outside all that tend to stay true to their shows. Much like those from CN City.

## Trivia

* The very idea of Toon City dates as far back as 2008 when Toon Wars was first drafted. To the best of Frozarburst's knowledge, it was originally Volcano Island completely modified into a bustling city for all of Nickelodeon's shows and was where the war began with the collapse of the volcano. Once again, in How to train your Hero, Hero City was a more fortified version of DC's Metropolis and what Frozarburst envisioned for the 2008 version of Toon Wars. It was also notably a lot more hi-tech, able to withstand intense weather beyond a Category 5 Hurricane.
* Most of Toon City borrows the architecture from the Forgotten Society, upgraded to be larger and more futuristic.
* Some inspiration for the look and feel of the fancier high tech areas came from Haven City in Jak 3 (New Haven rather in that particular game) and Jak X. This concept was also implemented into Lyvsheria.
* In some cases, one could compare the gargantuan buildings or the role of the smaller ones to those from Coruscant in the Star Wars franchise.
	+ The Toon Force H.Q. and the main office in some respects act similar to the Jedi Temple and Senate building for example.
