WELCOME!
IN DAYLIGHTS, IN SUNSETS
City is Ours is an AU Big Time Rush & Victorious crossover roleplay. CIO takes place a few years after both series' first seasons, making it truly flexible and member-driven. Though there will be events and other fun sitewide plots to delve into, at the moment, there is no main plotline other than what has already been listed. The site will be shaped mainly by its members' participation, and everyone will have a say as to what might happen next!
UPDATES!
In midnights, in cups of coffee
GRAND OPENING!
5 JANUARY » Welcome to City is Ours! We are so excited to be bringing this site back for its third version (versions one and two were known as 'Elevate', for those that are familiar with us). This version is much more member-driven than its predecessors and is even a crossover, which was not an element of the previous two versions! We hope you enjoy it here. Stay tuned for the first event, coming soon!

DOROTHY LEIA JONESnineteen † dancer/choreographer † profile ABOUT. Dottie is energetic and cheerful and very good at her job. She's worked hard over the years to get to where she is now. She's a relentlessly hard worker and doesn't give up easily. She's a bit too stubborn and needs a bit of looking-after, mainly because she'll overwork herself past the point of exhaustion (and she's been known to dance on a sprained ankle instead of taking a few days off to heal, so there's that). PLOTS. Dottie's currently living at the Palm Woods with her sister, LILY JONES, so she will likely know others if they live there. She loves swimming, so she's often out by the pool on her days off (when she's not sleeping the day away, that is). She has a few close friends, but more are always welcome, whether they're in a similar line of work or just happen to be neighbours! As for enemies, she won't actively try to make them, but she's bound to have rivals within her field. And pretty much all the girls at her old dance academy used to bully her because she wasn't 'dancer material' - aka, she was and is 5'2" and didn't look like the rest of them - so they'd fall in here as well. Oh, and she's going to end up with JACK PARKER, her number one favourite dance partner.
ZELDA ERIS FROSTtwenty † singer/songwriter/virtuoso † profile ABOUT. Zelda is almost exactly the opposite as she seems. Kind, considerate, and charitable, this girl is a hard worker and has a great love for music and animals. She's a bit naive and can be easily taken advantage of because she is a huge people pleaser and doesn't like it when others are upset. Zelda is creative and passionate about her band, music, and her friends and family, and is loyal to a fault. PLOTS. As was mentioned earlier, Zelda is easily taken advantage of. I'm sure a lot of people would fit the 'enemy' category because of this. Most importantly, though, Zelda needs her band mates! I'll have them up in a wanted ad, so take a look if being a part of Access Insomnia interests you. Zelda lives with her band mates in a house in LA's residential area. Oh, and there's one other want for Zelda up in the same thread as well, that coordinates with Say's (when don't they?).
CATERINA HANNAH VALENTINEeighteen † actress/singer † profile ABOUT. Cat has had a difficult life and has been acting for as long as she can remember, trying to keep up a front that she's always happy even though her home life was terrible. She would overcompensate this so as not to worry her friends or seem like a downer, and kind of seemed like a rambunctious airhead. She has graduated from Hollywood Arts and is now focusing on her acting and singing careers, hoping to start a new life now that she's an adult. PLOTS. Cat is currently living with her best friend, JADE WEST, at the Palm Woods. She obviously has all of her old Hollywood Arts friends who I'd love to see around, but otherwise, she's super friendly and can easily make more friends. She's bubbly and excitable, but now that she's finally escaped her home life, she can start to tone down the act a bit, which will be nice for everyone and make her a lot less enemies for being 'annoying'. Also, I totally lowkey ship her with Beck. Don't tell Jade. Even though Mandi ships it too. Shh.
NOAH LYSANDER HARRISONtwenty-two † actor † profile ABOUT. Noah is the youngest child of a family of acting legacies. He has a lot of work cut out for him if he wants to be recognised for his talent and not for his name, and also if he wants to not be overshadowed by his multitalented older brothers. Acting is Noah's passion and he can be seen as quite the workaholic as he is determined to prove himself and become the best actor out there. PLOTS. Noah is extremely serious about his work and sometimes forgets to take a break, so to a lot of people, that might be a bit off-putting and he might seem a bit grumpy, especially when he overworks himself and gets stressed. He's a reliable friend, though, and will always be there for his friends when they need him. Noah has been living in a Palm Woods apartment for about four years now with his best friend, JACK PARKER, and will eventually end up with AUDREY SMITH.
JENNA LONDON HILLStwenty-two † model † profile ABOUT. Jenna is not your average model. She has a high metabolism, which means she's constantly hungry and constantly eating. She's very lazy and doesn't like to exercise, but stays in shape purely because of her metabolism. Jen has a very motherly personality and is always looking out for others. She's sincere and humorous, but procrastinates a lot, especially by playing video games, which she loves. PLOTS. Jenna is very genuine, so she's really easy to make friends with. She is also bound to have rivals, however, at least in the modelling industry, and there's no doubt that a lot of fellow models will dislike her purely for her laziness and metabolism. Jenna has been dating the same guy for quite some time now and is very much in love, and the two of them are considered almost to be the 'parents' of their friend group. I have a wanted ad up for him that's very open and not specific (like, at all), so it'd be great if someone took him!
MINORI AIKO YUKIMURAtwenty-four † artist / actress / singer † profile ABOUT. Minori is a fiery young woman with a lot of artistic talents. She is a makeup artist purely because of her passions in drawing and painting, but is also a very well known voice actress; her roles include both acting and singing, which she excels at. Nori is bilingual in English and Japanese due to the fact that she went to an international school growing up. She moved to LA a few years ago to continue her work and follow her dreams. PLOTS. Minori is a good person deep down, but she might be a bit too wild and unruly for many peoples' taste. She tends to be a bit too straightforward and is more or less fearless. She is extremely loyal and protective to those she cares about. Nori is currently living in an apartment in the Palm Woods with her older half-brother and her best friend, BEATRICE GRANVILLE.

Ok my talent at plotting has left me for the night it seems but here goes...
I think Kai and Minori could be interesting together. First, there's Beatrice (that Say worked in order for Kai to torture her a bit). Second they're Asian (although he's Chinese not Japanese but who cares). Then his adoptive father is a famous voice actor. Last but not least, they have personalities that could go well together. He would love to use her in one of his segment if he could. If not, he'd just like being around her.
As he is also a model, he might know of Jenna too. He's still doing some modelling gigs so we can play on that or have them working together in the past. He's a little older than she is, mind you, but not to the point that being paired up together would seem weird.
And, of course, if you want any of your characters to be interviewed, he can be your guy. He's done all sorts of segments, from interesting small food joints to fashion to music to what's cool to do around here. He does vox pops and some short interviews so that can happen.
Now, to Franck. He's pretty much the same as my other Franck you might have seen and/or RPed with. He resides at Palm Woods so any who does might know of him. He'd grow to be friends with Lily so he can know her sister and I seem him having a bit of a crush on Noah. He sucks at knowing who's gay and who isn't so if you want an awkward moment, he could try and flirt. Or he did that in the past and they're good being just friends. Or he's not good at all XD Whatever you want.

MINORI&KAI. This sounds like fun! She works with Bea from time to time - in fact, that is how they met - so she might already at least know of Kai, if she doesn't already know him and get along well with him. Her older half brother (that Say might have already nagged you about lol) is around Kai's age (a little older, I think) so it's possible that he's a friend of both the Yukimura siblings. As for his father, with Minori's success, it's quite possible that she's worked with him on a voice acting project together since moving to LA! Maybe she played his daughter in an animated film or something. And Nori would be happy to help with Kai's segment! She's pretty talkative, anyway, so that wouldn't be a problem. He can use her any time he likes.
JENNA&KAI. It'd be fun to have them work together sometimes. Jenna is friendly toward everyone and surely would have tried to get along well with Kai. It'd be amusing to see how they get along, because Jenna is very mature and motherly for her age, so it might end up that their age difference is reversed, at least mentally, and that she acts older than him as opposed to the other way around xD Like a caring older sister type in the industry, even though he's probably technically more experienced?
ZELDA&KAI. I'm throwing this out here just because you mentioned being interviewed. Zelda is part of a very successful band, and so I'm sure that Kai has interviewed her in the past because of it. They're currently working on a new album, so maybe they will meet up for a promotional interview or something?
DOTTIE&FRANCK. This works! Dottie's pretty open minded and she gets along well with Noah (as well as possible, anyway) because of her close friendship with Jack, so there's that for them to bond over as well. And anyone who is a friend of Lily is automatically a friend for Dottie! It might be fun to have a thread with the three of them hanging out at some point.
NOAH&FRANCK. This could be quite amusing! Not only is Noah oblivious to romantic advances, he is a workaholic and is determined not to have time for it, so he probably wouldn't have even noticed if Franck was flirting with him, at least for a while. Maybe they have a sort of history there where Noah unintentionally hurt Franck's feelings because he seemed cold but was really just unaware, and then they talked about it and are now good friends and no longer awkward? Noah might even tease Franck from time to time if he sees a guy around that is supposedly attractive, and will try to be helpful even though he's clueless and will only make things worse xD

Minori&Kai As Say just told me, I think these two together will give Beatrice a headache xD They might just get all over the place. I'd say it would make sense they found of each other through Bea. We can have them meet for the first time or have them already know of each other, I'm fine with that. Since Kai is adopted, she probably wouldn't realise at first she worked with his father unless she knew already of their bond. Anyway, I'm up for anything with these two and I hope she likes dogs! Jenna&Kai Kai is (kind of) serious when a camera is pointed at him and he has to work but once that is done, he can be a goof ball. And he's worked as a model for ten years. But you're right, their age would seem like reversed. And I don't think he'd be very good at video games but they can still try that if you want XD Zelda&Kai Sure, he can do a quick interview no problem if you want that. Dottie&Franck It will probably have to wait a little for these two for Franck to be better acquainted with Lily but they also both live at Palm Woods so they can meet and later find out of their mutual acquaintances. Noah&Franck Like I said, I was up for either this happening now or that it did in the past. It could be nice to see they went past this little awkward moment and Franck could then better understand why Noah appears to stand off people even when he doesn't necessarily means to. Franck has no problem with Noah teasing him as long as Noah is fine knowing he's so hot he gets all the gays after him xD and that he doesn't say it to the world (Franck likes to be discreet about this). And you can be sure Franck will point out the girls fascinated by Noah and if he finds Noah looking at one of them for more than five seconds, he'll do everything he can to match them up. I'm up to do any of these plots, so just tell me which ones you'd like best or if we do all and how you want to share the work

MINORI&KAI. Thos sounds like a lot of fun, for sure! And of course she likes dogs! Maybe it'll be fun if they already know each other and we can have them stumble across each other in the park? (DOGS!) Or, he could visit the apartment when Bea's there and chaos can ensue if Say's up for it xD Either one would be fun.
JENNA&KAI. XD Oooh, that could be fun. Maybe they're working on an important shoot together and decide to carpool home or something, and then he ends up visiting for a while and Jenna gets him to play video games with her? xD
ZELDA&KAI. That'd be great! I think it'd be fun. Maybe it'll surprise him if she remembers him from a past interview, since celebrities usually don't?
DOTTIE&FRANCK. Fair enough! Just let me know when he's getting along well with Lily and maybe we could even have a group thread at some point!
NOAH&FRANCK. Psh, Noah's middle name is subtle, no worries for Franck there! It'll be funny because Noah will probably have bad taste in guys and since he's not interested in dating right now, Franck's suggestions will be mostly useless as well, but it'll be a fun pastime for the both of them anyway xD Maybe we can have a thread where they meet up after work and go to the mall or something? That could be a lot of fun because there is plenty of room for people-watching xD (And Noah undoubtedly will need to buy some things for work, which will be his excuse for going.)
