[edit] Plot

Empire Square is about three foul-mouthed kids named Ritchie, Rabbit and Hooks. They are usually after "get-rich" schemes and get into a lot of trouble with crack whores, pedophiles, and many other crazy characters. In various episodes they start bands. Empire Square is an apartment building where they all live in the same room.

[edit] Characters

  • Ritchie is the main focus of the show. He has purple hair. On various occasions it is thought that he can sing well. He has a temper and is very foul.
  • Hooks is a streetwise girl always looking for a career. She has the most common sense of the three and would have a real life if it weren't for the other two.
  • Rabbit is computer literate and wears a rabbit head. His morals are questionable and are still being developed with Hooks' help. He usually goes along with Ritchie's plans.
