CHERI REF REDUX BABY!!! been over a year since i gave him a new one and ive been wanting to go back to his more classic look since its easier to draw!

ADDITIONALLY, as is mentioned in the little bio text, this is cheri's PEAK FORM

Normally, Cheri doesn't go SUPER HARD with the training he does, in part because the world he lives in doesnt face super huge threats often, and he does just like living a more relaxed lifestyle

BUT on the occasion that it IS necessary, Cheri can use his healing powers to make himself reach the peak of fitness that his body can reach, resulting in him becoming monstrously strong! it does take a lot out of him to do this though, and after using it he usually rebounds and gets even fatter than he was initially :)

NEW OC TIME AS WELL!!!

Julia is KIND OF an Appletun, but blueberry flavored!! She works as a florist and does a ton of baking in her free time, being the designated mom friend as she frequently makes tons of pastries for her friend group (sometimes also being the one to encourage them that they could eat more!)

Her hair might look kinda familiar, and that's cause it is!! She and Clair (the dragon type gym leader from pokemon GS/HGSS) are one in the same, Julia being the form that Clair took upon having a wish granted for a different way of life... that way of life being a comfier, more sedentary one!

While she didn't retain a lot of distinct memories from her life as a human, she retains certain personality traits and habits, such as a hint of stubbornness or a bit of a competitive streak! Largely though, she's taken on a far more calm and loving demeanor, finding a lot more joy in her new ponderous and indulgent lifestyle :)

ADDITIONALLY I BRING YOU ANOTHER NEW OC!!!

For several years Margot was a super skilled thief, enough to keep her exploits almost entirely anonymous for her entire career. This changed however during her efforts to steal a certain cursed artifact, which resulted in her receiving a few hundred added pounds on her figure, as well as a new intensely gluttonous side to her personality that would guarantee that weight would stick around....

Since then, her daring heists have now been replaced with frequent thefts of restaurants and grocery stores. Her criminal streak remaining a part of her, but now mostly being in service of satisfying her massive appetite :)

Back when she was a more active thief, she was actually pretty cold and ruthless, but along with being softened physically, the curse of gluttony has caused her to mellow out somewhat personality-wise as well. She's still thoroughly a shithead and gets a kick out of messing with people, there's a reason she steals food despite having stolen loads of money at this point, but these days that's the full extent of her villainous traits. Otherwise, she's become more capable of connecting with people and forming friendships, she quite enjoys living at a (somewhat literal) slower pace, and finding pleasure in smaller moments that felt like she had to pass by while being on the run at all times...

For her friends, she may even steal a boatload of food just to gift to them!! (as long as they dont mind becoming accomplices as a result !)

NEW OC TIME AGAIN!!!!

This is ABIGAIL!!! She works at a fancy clothes store and runs her own fashion blog! She takes a lot of pride in her appearance, but doesn't really do a lot to maintain it, she's very much just Naturally Immaculate a lot of the time!

Personality wise she has 0 issue whatsoever with speaking her mind, shes very open even with complete strangers, and has a very nonchalant way of speaking. She would never call herself cooler than anyone else but most of her friends recognize she is cool as fuck regardless :)

[grenboman]

NEW OC!!! This is Ari they're a pawmot and cinccino hybrid!!

Ari is an aspiring martial artist, they do have a lot of technical skills at this point, but they're often trying to overcome their limited physical strength and overall gentle nature... On top of that, they're also as big of an eater as other fighters who train far more intensely and have physiques that require a lot of eating. Ari doesn't really require it, but they often overeat just to be able to say they can keep up with other martial artists :)

YET ANOTHER POKEMON OC ive just been on a huge kick for makin em!!

Angie is a doctor, and a really skilled one at that! She's been at it for over a decade now and thus is super confident in her skills. Though she's experienced a lot of really stressful situations, she's mellowed out quite a bit going into her 30s, and work is kind of a breeze at this point! At home, she takes care of TONS of plants, and does pottery as a hobby! She's very much an indoor girl, and thats only intensified over time. She has plenty of income to afford getting things delivered to her home rather than making the arduous treks herself, which largely contributed to her large figure. However, she sees no issue in her gain, and takes pride in how well she wears every added pound!

There's definitely a bit of pompousness to her personality, and she can sometimes be a little stubborn when asked to go outside of her comfort zone, but shes also a really wise and experienced person, you can expect long life advice lectures if you join her for a meal!

ANOTHER NEW OC!!!!!! ive been on one hell of a design kick this year hehe :)

I worked on this character with my friend ung_wurm on twitter!!

Avery's sorta timid and softspoken, they do enjoy being around their friends but more in an existing in the same space kinda way. One of their parents is a Goodra who is a famously strong fighter, but Avery didn't really inherit the physique or temperament to be a fighter themself, and most of their hobbies are calm ones by contrast. However, they do still have a similarly strong sense of justice, and they clearly have some Goodra in them in some regard...

Due to their unstable DNA as an eevee, Avery can change between their normal self and a far larger goodra form! Only manifesting in their adulthood, Avery was unable to control when they transformed for a long time, with transformations happening most often when they take in a large amount of calories at once. Eventually though, as the people around them helped them come to terms with this part of themself, they became more capable of controlling this ability, and at this point they're able to summon it at will in order to fight off threats to the city they live in! (Though they dont really like calling themself a superhero) ((they totally are though))

Their goodra form serves as a pretty effective disguise, so very few people know that this massive goodra and the tiny eevee are even the same person, though avery still finds themself susceptible to accidental transformations every now and then, so keeping up the secret identity sometimes gets tough when their lower half is that of a goodra 3 times their normal size...

(wurm came up with a lot of backstory and character stuff for them! i highly recommend checking out his work too, he's a fantastic writer!!!)

[grenboman]

I don't think I've ever actually posted him here before so FORMALLY HERE IS VIVIEN!!

He's an oinkologne boy and a plus-sized model!!! I don't have a ton of info on him just yet but IN SHORT: he used to be really quiet and reserved for a lot of his youth, holding back on pursuing things he wanted to pursue for fear of being ridiculed, but after reuniting with some old friends and hearing that they were still pursuing the same things they had dreamed of doing since they were kids, it inspired vivien to chase his passions too! As a result he allowed himself to be as big as he wanted to be, and ended up finding success in his modeling career (he also has his own line of perfume)!

[grenboman]

Since you can be a lot more substantial with posts on here than twitter, i wanna start doing some bigger posts that serve as bios for my OCs since I haven't posted em much here!! This will be tagged with #grenbOC, in the future ill tag other OC bios with that to make em easy to find!

And I'm gonna start with BAILEY!! His story starts when he was 22 years old, working through his first year of grad school as a journalism major. For his entire schooling career he'd been incredibly hardworking, putting in a ton of time and effort that landed him opportunity after opportunity as he shaped his future career.

During his first semester of grad school, however, this all began to catch up with him. The pressure to succeed combined with the immense workload was running him ragged, leading to most of his days being dedicated to arduous schoolwork and not much else. As a result, he eventually hit a breaking point, and couldn't force himself to sacrifice his mental and emotional well-being to continue with his studies. Before the spring semester of the same year began, he dropped out of the program.

After resting back home with his family for a few months, Bailey eased himself back into journalism, finding freelance work that allowed him to start living on his own, albeit very modestly. At this point he associated journalism with a lot of the negative feelings that led him to drop out, and was hoping to find a different path. Eventually, an old friend of his from college reached out to him in order to catch up, and ended up inviting Bailey on to a podcast they had started since graduating. While he went into it with a bit of apprehension and nervousness, Bailey enjoyed the unscripted and relaxed nature of the podcast immensely by the time it was over. He hadn't expected much to come from it afterwards, but upon checking the comments on the podcast, lots of listeners commented on how great of a guest Bailey was, complimenting his earnest disposition and relaxing presence and voice. He felt like that gentle and honest nature had never meshed well with the career path he chose, so to see that his real self was praised and encouraged on a different platform greatly influenced where he wanted to go next.

The next year brought a lot of change in Bailey's life. He began putting his voice out there more through video essays on things he was passionate about, namely true crime, mystery novels, cryptids, and the occasional one about video games he enjoyed. He didn't expect these to receive much traction, but his videos quickly found an audience, with viewers taking interest in the most random of topics if Bailey was presenting them. He still found himself working on lots of projects to make ends meet, but Bailey was markedly happier pursuing things he was passionate about and living a more relaxed lifestyle than he did while in college.

He went through more physical changes during this time too, getting several piercings and incorporating hair dye and makeup into his appearance, things he felt more comfortable trying now that he didn't have to keep up a professional appearance. More dramatic than these additions however was the weight he put on over that year. Most of his days consisted of sitting at his desk writing articles and scripts or recording and editing videos, and outside of working he would often spend time reading, polishing his cooking skills, or playing games. While he was indeed pursuing more passions than he did in college, the lack of exercise every day quickly caught up to him, and that combined with his very short stature led him to becoming fatter and more sedentary than he had ever been before.

Bailey was aware of his gain from when it began to become noticeable, and welcomed it as it happened. College had been the most hectic and stressful time of his life, leading to him being abrasive, wired, and overdisciplined for a long time. Becoming larger and softer, eating more during meals, moving less throughout the day, indulging in these things was allowing him to rejuvenate himself and become the gentle and tender person he had wished to be for a long time. He was pursuing hobbies and interests that he had so little time or energy for before, and actively building a career from it in the process, the extra weight was just another sign of how things had changed for the better, and he had no intention of fighting it.

As Bailey's videos gained more traction, he thought once again about how much he enjoyed the unscripted format, and began to experiment with livestreaming. He mostly broadcasted obscure games that he liked, or did more podcast-like streams in which he would ramble about any one subject he knew a lot about. Once again he was surprised by how much people enjoyed him as a personality, getting several messages and comments about how relaxing and entertaining his streams were, motivating him to pour more time into the platform. With streaming added to his schedule, his sedentary tendencies became more prominent as he sat on his widening rear for hours upon hours a day. While he still remained passionate about cooking his own food often, his schedule necessitated faster options, and more income from streaming allowed him to order in far more often than before, resulting in a more calorically dense diet with less effort to acquire food.

A few months into his streaming career, Bailey's audience and his waistline were growing at a steady pace. The stretchy clothes he had bought to keep up with his growth were no longer able to cover him entirely, leaving a wide gap of pale belly fat exposed between his stretchy top and bottom. His weight was distributing itself in an interesting way, his growth felt oddly even. When he packed on more belly fat, his back and rear would grow to match. As his legs widened and forced him to waddle, his shoulders and chest swelled with fat and pushed up on his double-chinned face. This distribution of weight resulted in him beginning to look like an orb of pale dough, and seeing his body get rounder and rounder this way always made Bailey blush whenever he checked the mirror...

For two years afterwards, Bailey continued to stream consistently, and his success allowed for it to become his main source of income. During this time he met and befriended his two roommates, Clara and Elline. Clara streams on the same platform as Bailey, and was an early fan of him, through their interactions they discovered that they lived incredibly close to one another, and as their friendship deepened, Bailey ended up moving in with her. It was then that he met Elline, Clara's roommate at the time. While she was far more reserved than Clara at first, Bailey found much common ground with her and became fast friends with her as well as she helped him and Clara with editing videos and stream highlights.

(Clara and Elline both belong to @squeezysquish, follow her if you wanna see more of them!!)

Bailey's gain only sped up during his time living with Clara and Elline, all of them influencing each other greatly over time. Clara's loud and proud personality rubbed off on Bailey and Elline, resulting in them being more comfortable with open displays of gluttony, as well as abandoning the concept of manners. Elline was the only one out of the three who was actively trying to gain weight, and her habits for packing on pounds and passion for doing so inspired Bailey and Clara to gain with purpose as well. And Bailey's laid-back, sedentary lifestyle influenced Clara and Elline, helping them feel more content with becoming larger to the point of having limited mobility, and therefore living slower, more relaxed lifestyles.

The life they life together now is one of pure indulgence and comfort, and though Bailey struggles to reach his keyboard when he streams, can't stand up without help with others, and has difficulty waddling a few feet, he and his roommates wouldn't rather live any other way.

And that's about it for Bailey's story for now! Not all my OC bios will be THIS long, i just happened to have a lot of art of Bailey that worked as a kind of weight gain sequence and I kinda wanted to write his story around that >:)

ALRIGHT ANOTHER OC POST this time I'm doing one for Cheri!!

As a little bit of background, Cheri and my other dragon OCs live in a separate world populated entirely by different subspecies of dragons. Different types of dragons living in different areas and ecosystems caused them to evolve in unique and varied ways! The world itself has a fantastical history, with almost every dragon possessing some level of magical affinity in the past, but as technology and innovation become more prominent, magic powers have become a little bit more rare. I'll go into more detail with worldbuilding stuff later, but for now back to CHERI!

Cheri comes from a dragon species known as Emprosa Dragons! They live in moderately sized villages at the base of mountains, such villages are littered with cherry blossom trees that bloom year round, as well as numerous inns and eateries that Emprosa Dragons specialize in. Emprosa villages are known for their hospitality and laid back lifestyle, the telltale grove of cherry blossoms serves as a beacon for weary travelers who need a place to rest and rejuvenate. As far as their individual appearances, Emprosa Dragons have large, fluffy ears that are often styled just like hair, as well as cheek tentacles that grow longer as they age, and they can easily grow back if trimmed. Their hands and feet are large paws, and only rarely are they born with claws. They are one of many dragon species that exhibits several mammalian traits, like fur coats that vary in thickness depending on the climate they live in, and their fur typically takes on different pastel colors depending on the region. Finally, Emprosa Dragons tend towards being fatter due to their metabolisms, as well as their famously delicious baked goods, but there are many instances in which they grow up to be taller and skinnier instead.

Alright NOW for Cheri himself for real this time!!

Cheri comes from one of the warmer climate Emprosa Dragon villages, he spent a lot of his childhood living with his family and helping to run the inn they managed. For a long time, he would see travelers visit the inn and share their stories of the world they roamed, and it inspired him greatly to do the same someday. Eventually, when he turned 18, he left his village to go on a journey of his own, hoping to become a renowned hero.

Though he never really had the physical attributes to be a legendary adventurer, Cheri's boundless enthusiasm always kept him going, even during the the toughest moments he would be wearing a big smile. His outgoing nature led him to meddle in other peoples' affairs quite a bit along the way, but it led him to making lifelong friends that he ended up travelling together with. The story of him and his friends' journey is a long one that involves a lot of their individual arcs, someday I might flesh it all out more but that's a pretty big undertaking!

Long story short, Cheri had a long and eventful journey with his friends, they probably saved the world at one point, and at present the world they live in is calm and peaceful, with the band of heroes solving more minor crises from time to time, but largely just enjoying life together.

As life calmed down, Cheri relaxed into a more peaceful lifestyle, and ended up gaining a lot more weight once he turned 21. His magic power allows him to shed his weight pretty quickly, and Emprosa Dragons naturally gain weight quickly, so as a result Cheri is able to manipulate his weight with relative ease. However, during times of peace, he prefers to let himself remain larger and comfier, as a sign that he doesn't need to live up to a great threat or crisis.

Cheri's optimism and passion are staples of his personality, no matter what he is always ready and willing to give anyone a long pep talk for the tiniest of things. He's always loved the idea of heroes fighting for justice, and despite not being as capable to be one himself as others, it was something he strove to be for a long time. The biggest change upon relaxing into a peaceful lifestyle was putting less pressure upon himself, and minimizing the hot-headed aspects of his personality. More recently, he enjoys relaxing and sleeping a lot more, and has no shame about days where he just enjoys living.

Finally, Cheri's magic power is Healing Flame! From his paws, he can produce teal-colored flames that have the power to heal anything organic. The flames aren't very hot at all, but if he's angry or just puts a lot of effort into it, he can create fuschia colored flames that burn far hotter. Additionally, he has a special move called Immortal Inferno, in which he surrounds himself in his own healing flames to make himself immune to damage. Using Immortal Inferno or his fuschia flames causes him to burn body fat, so he can only use either for short periods of time.

And there we have it for Cheri!! It's tough to be entirely comprehensive with these so I'm always more than happy to answer questions about him :)
