Crime City Nightmare is a series of alternate future/universe skins in League of Legends. Set in Valoran City, champions are mobsters who vie for control of the city until things take a dark turn when a mysterious figure introduces those desperate for power to an ancient evil.
Crime City Nightmare officially encompasses three skin lines: Crime City, Crime City Nightmare, and Debonair.
Eldritch horrors lurk within the crime and grime of Valoran City. Black markets have given rise to Elixirs: a valuable substance of dubious origin whose production spells money and influence should any gang corner the market. Spurred on by agents of corruption, capos and cronies alike look to forces beyond the veil for a taste of true power.
Just your average bottomless pit of scum and villainy. Bosses vie for power; pacts are made and broken; friendships meet their end on the edge of twisted, subtle knives. And yet, there's something more to this city. Something undiscovered, imperceptible. Something... infinite.
The Graves Crime Family
Crime City Graves Cool, calm, and collected, Malcolm Graves is head of the notorious Graves crime family—and the only non-rat that Twitch will trust. Recent moves in the criminal underworld have put his alliance with the rat-men on shaky ground, and he's keen to find out why.
Crime City Jinx Known by state police as “La Principessa,” Jinx is an unhinged hitwoman with loose ties to the Graves crime family. Sent into rival businesses as a figurative time bomb, the slightest offense will trigger one of her jubilant rampages, with body counts as high as the ceiling.
The Miss Fortune Cartel
Crime City Braum Chromas: Citrine, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Tanzanite Miss Fortune's body man is an unnervingly pleasant gentleman by the name of 'Bank Vault' Braum, whose alias was earned ripping the wall off a maximum security gold depository. He is accompanied by a small cadre of gun-toting poros, who love nothing more than belly rubs and murder.
Crime City Miss Fortune A former gun for hire, Miss Sarah Fortune has recently spun up her own criminal cartel, with a hand in everything from arms smuggling to protection rackets. Having destabilized the relationship between Twitch and Graves, she now seeks to cement her empire before they get wise to her ambitions.
The Twitch Syndicate
Crime City Twitch Deeply violent and severely paranoid, Twitch runs one of the largest crime syndicates in the nation. His orders are carried out by a literal army of rat-men, the only creatures he even comes close to trusting.
Unaffiliated
Gragas, Esq. One of the city's top criminal defense attorneys, Gragas, Esquire is often seen carousing with the chief of police and various circuit court judges—mostly because they know he has access to the finest prohibited goods… but also because he's been paying them off for decades.
Knockout Lee Sin 'Knockout' Lee Sin is a brutal pit fighter, who made his name in the underground circuit, before leaving the bloody sport for greener, more criminal pastures. He currently sells his services as a “problem-solver” to a select group of monied kingpins.
If corruption and illegality existed on a map, Valoran City would be its center. A breeding ground for all things depraved, there are no depths too deep from which evil can be found, and the horrors that lurk there are eager to spread their influence.
The Graves Crime Family
Crime City Nightmare Akali Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Underground A loyal enforcer for the Graves family, Akali took the same deal everyone else did when the Mysterious Gentleman came calling. The power changed her, twisted her into something that hears a siren song echoing from beyond the veil of reality. Now she acts in ruthless, horrific violence, seeking an inscrutable 'balance' even she cannot name.
Crime City Nightmare Zyra Chromas: Amethyst, Aquamarine, Catseye, Emerald, Pearl, Peridot, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Underground Zyra was once a longtime associate of Graves and a skilled con artist, but grew dissatisfied with the monotony of a low-end criminal lifestyle. Seeing a way out, Zyra merged with the 4th-dimensional horrors from Beyond. She now follows the edicts of an alien power, ripping veins of sentient sludge from the earth and rending her enemies asunder.
The Miss Fortune Cartel
Crime City Nightmare Darius Chromas: Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Underground All Darius wanted was to secure a place for himself at the top of the underworld. Becoming Miss Fortune's personal bodyguard was the first step, but the second was embracing the power of the Mysterious Gentleman: welcoming forces from beyond space and time that have molded him into something far more powerful than he could ever have imagined.
The Twitch Syndicate
Crime City Nightmare Shaco Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Underground Once a mere courier for the Twitch syndicate, Shaco is now barely human. The eldritch corruption has stripped him of reason and identity, turning him into a chittering horde of knife-wielding monsters that haunt the boroughs of Valoran City. None of them are sure which is the “real” Shaco anymore. None of them care.
The Beyond
Crime City Nightmare Twisted Fate Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Underground No one knows if the Mysterious Gentleman is human or something Else, but he has somehow injected himself into every crime family in Valoran City. With honeyed words and a conman's grin, he convinced them all to embrace the horrors of the Beyond... Now the only thing to do is sit back and watch them tear each other apart.
Power, wealth, and glamour collide in the penthouses and exclusive clubs of Nox Vegas, where truly beautiful people hold the world in their palms. Yet as night falls on the city of lights, the knives come out—influence is the name of the game, and nobody likes to lose.
The Debonairs
Debonair Brand Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Cerulean Club, Emerald, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise Longtime rival to Master Yi, Brand owns a competing chain of high end hotels and can be seen verbally sparring with his enemy at any gala that will tolerate them. Their battles are legendary… though the property damage alone skyrockets into the tens of millions.
Prestige Debonair Brand With a blisteringly fashionable custom suit, the plans for which he burned, Brand stands on the precipice of something he has long thought beyond his reach: defeating his rivals and standing atop the greatest aristocrats in the world.
Debonair Draven Chromas: Catseye, Cerulean Club, Emerald, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise An infamous club host known for his daredevil attitude while performing envenomed party tricks, Draven is loved and hated by the Nox Vegas strip in equal measure. He possesses a talent for drawing both the curiosity of entertained onlookers and the ire of resort owners cleaning up after his messes.
Debonair Ezreal Chromas: Amethyst, Meteorite, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sandstone, Striped Tailored suits, fitted vests, and an elegant gauntlet let everyone know the difference between Ezreal and the common rabble is simple. He makes this look good, and they… don't.
Debonair Galio Savor that elixir. Highlight that heavenly white tux with a royal purple reserved for kings and queens who just don't deserve it. Because when you're an eighty foot tall petricite gargoyle, you're always the center of attention.
Debonair Jayce You're a scholar. You're an inventor. You're the man of the hour and the hour is now, yesterday, and tomorrow. Don't just be the father of invention—be the ivory god of substance, class, and style. It's you, Jayce. It's always been you.
Debonair LeBlanc Chromas: Catseye, Cerulean Club, Emerald, Obsidian, Pearl, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite Seemingly at every event in the city at once, LeBlanc is a ubiquitous presence throughout the strip—her unparalleled ability to shmooze matched only by her mysterious origins. There was a time when certain naysayers connected her to Crime City, but as they say… never cross Lady LeBlanc.
Debonair Leona Chromas: Catseye, Cerulean Club, Emerald, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise An enforcer at the exclusive Solari resort, Leona spends her days brutally ejecting unruly patrons from the premises and her evenings schmoozing up the city's ultra-wealthy. Even the rich and powerful know not to trifle with the Solari's chosen, lest they find themselves soaring out of the penthouse suite and down into the sidewalk.
Debonair Malzahar Chromas: Cerulean Club, Citrine, Emerald, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Tanzanite, Turquoise An associate of LeBlanc's from her days in Crime City, now established as a mover and shaker in his own right. While the two cross paths on occasion, Malzahar has certain... outside interests to consider, and those business partners have promised him more than any mortal could ever dream of.
Debonair Master Yi Chromas: Amethyst, Catseye, Cerulean Club, Emerald, Obsidian, Rose Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Turquoise A powerful businessman of few words, often seen staring down on “his” strip from the comfort of his posh presidential suite. Despite his cold demeanor, Yi enjoys the finer things in life, and demands only the finest fits for his world-famous evening attire.
Debonair Vi Don the yellow power tie and red rose boutonnière of a woman in charge—of herself, her destiny, and the two dozen spines she's going to snap in effortless, elegant style.
Debonair Zed Chromas: Catseye, Cerulean Club, Emerald, Obsidian, Ruby, Tanzanite The most powerful (and powerfully dressed) man in Nox Vegas, Zed has been dabbling in more than fancy parties and cutthroat dealmaking. A new crowd from Crime City has entered his inner circle, granting this debonair gentleman an unbreakable stranglehold over the strip… and a dreadful new change in both mind and body.
From The Defender of Tomorrow in the Fashion of Today, exclusive to IM[edit source]
Inventor's Monthly: Issue Debonair Jayce
“The room smells of mahogany and warm brandy, and I can tell by the leopard-skin hearthrug that the man I've come to interview is well-accustomed to company. They're finishing the shoot in the foyer where Jayce, the Defender of Tomorrow, has suited up in the high fashion of today. In the meantime, I have free reign of the illustrious inventor's sitting-room and I'm staring at the newest model of the world-famous Mercury Cannon-Hammer.
Slim and trim, and as stylish as the room I'm standing in, this iteration of Jayce's signature weapon has refined lines and looks as clean as Piltover's finests' sterilized holding cells – not that I've seen them, of course. When we met last night, Jayce told me with his trademark wit about the new effects that issue from the cannon's powerful blasts.
The door swings open and dapper Jayce strides with the effortless grace of someone who has more awards than bottles of wine despite a cellar the size of an Ionian temple. Dressed to the skies with a white overcoat and charming rose boutonniere, Jayce has picked up a confident swagger and a noticeable change in his voice…”
Dressed to the skies with a white overcoat and classy boutonniere, sleek and stylish Debonair Jayce is ready for Valentine's Day for 975 RP in the store.
Take your enemy's breath away with style, or if that fails, a sharp punch to the solar plexus. High-end fashion has made its way to the Rift with Debonair Vi and Ezreal. Tailored suits, fitted vests and elegant gauntlets let everyone know that the difference between you and them is simple: You make this look good.
Debonair Vi & Ezreal
Debonair Galio doesn't always go mid lane...[edit source]
"His calculations are so precise, Vel'Koz asks him for help with geometry.
His singing in the shower is so breathtaking, it stole Sona's voice.
He once stepped on a mushroom and Teemo exploded.
He is...
The Most Interesting Gargoyle-like Construct in the World.
