Pleaaase tell me about your favorite GemOc/Sona. I haven't used mine in eons, but I miss the incredible designs and stories people used to put into theirs.
the way i exploded into a million hearts and sparkles and confetti
OKAY SO I GOT LIKE A LOT OF GEM OCS HERE SO I MIGHT RAMBLE
BUT THE MAIN ONES I LOVE AND HAVE THE MOST LORE FOR ARE: LaLi (Lapis Lazuli, she/her), Pearl (he/him), and Bear (Pink Beryl, they/he) !
Together, they are the Flower Gems—sworn protectors of preserving the Earth's beauty, flora, and fauna.
Putting this under a read more bc i typed a lot <:3c
Starting with my dear LaLi, she was the first gem oc (used to be gemsona) i made back in 2014 !! Here's her most up-to-date visual vs her first one owo
Lapis Lazuli's are my fav gemstones (thanks hamtaro) and i made her before SU Lapis was announced/revealed. LaLi is a friendly gem who loves sparring, human culture, photography, playing the piano, and meeting new beings. She can manipulate both water and sand, but she mainly prefers fighting with her Khopesh sword weapon. She taught herself how to fight by watching some soldier gems during her terraforming days.
She grew a bond with Pearl when she was assigned to aid his superior, Petalite, and wanted to get to know him more. During the time of the rebellion, Petalite abandoned Pearl when their ship was attacked, causing LaLi to whisk Pearl away to Earth away from the danger. There, she and Pearl began to grow closer and find themselves in their new world. They even had their first fusion (Prehnite) on Earth !
She started out pretty silent and observant, but she soon blossomed into an outgoing type who wants to fight for her friends (and fight in general, she loves to fight). She's still very much observant tho, making sure their world is free from dangers and her buddies are doing okay, becoming the de facto leader of the Flower Gems.

Next up, we have my second gem oc (also used to be gemsona) Pearl ! I created Pearl before there were any lore or information that there were other Pearls as well as Pearl being my birthstone and another favorite gemstone of mine :3
I haven't made a new visual for him, but here's his sort of up-to-date visual vs his first one
At first, Pearl's lore was that he was a Homeworld Gem that had a past with LaLi and came down to Earth to retrieve her. He was sort of an antagonist to her. Now, as explained above, he was saved by LaLi and lived life with her on Earth to protect it's life. He was a self-proclaimed Fire Flower Knight.
Pearl is a somewhat snooty and arrogant gem who likes to keep up appearances and make sure everything is in proper check if LaLi is off doing her own thing. He can manipulate fire/heat and has a Glaive weapon. He's pretty hard to read and doesn't like to hang out with other as much as LaLi does, but he does like spending time with her, playing the violin, and sparring. Once you get to know him, he's pretty soft and kind and deathly afraid of rabbits. He's usually in charge of doing retcons and keeping maps and charts of places they've been.
Overall, Pearl is a pretty loyal gem who grew to be his own being and not allow to be controlled or shaped to fit anyone that didn't allow him to just be himself.

Lastly of the trio, we have Bear ! They also lack an updated ref, but here's their most up-to-date visual vs their first one !
Bear's lore is that they were once a scholar gem on Homeworld, tasked with other Beryls to keep track of Gem History and Culture. His rank was pretty high and respected and he played his part and didn't care much for other gems nor the rebellion. However, in some of his notes on Earth where he jotted down it's beauty, the other beryls interpreted as Bear becoming rogue and planned to have him interrogated. Around the same time, he encountered another former high ranking gem, now turned "defect" by the name of Dentritic Agate (Dendé). Long story short, Dendé attacked Bear for being to nosey in his business and the two sort of have a history of not liking each other. They did end up crossing paths on Earth later on.
Bear ended up on Earth escaping his interrogation where they knew they were going to either get shattered or bubbled forever. Because of this, they were labeled a "traitor" and had a bounty on their head. He ended up getting wrapped up in the Gem War and poofed on the battle field, however, his gem managed to get buried underground for years. Eventually, he managed to reform by tapping into his latent earth manipulation, resurfacing to a new world.
With no one to turn to, Bear isolated themselves from other beings, trusting no one, but found comfort and solace with the Earth and animals around him. They ended up taking up forms of animals he befriended, especially a family of bears he was "adopted" into. He soon encountered humans, but kept his distance. However, these humans were destroying the forest he resided in, so he took on multiple forms of animals to drive them away, soon becoming an urban legend of a Shapeshifting Forest Protector.
i know i do want to work on his backstory more, but essentially he did end up getting close to a human after saving them and the human pestering them to be friends. Bear watched was there in the human's life watching them grow and have a family until one day their village was attacked and burned to the ground. The human ultimately got caught in cross fire and subsequently died in Bear's presence. Wanting to protect the place this human cared so much about, Bear shapeshifted into a multitudes of beasts and laid waste to the pillagers, but indirectly destroyed what little the village had left.
The remnant of people, including the human's family that survived, connected that Bear was that one myth of the forest, took it as a bad omen, and tried to have him killed. He ended up fleeing and never wanted to get close to humans again. Years later, he was founded by LaLi who was so ecstatic to see another gem and wanted him to join her small gem group of two. At first, Bear was annoyed, but LaLi's continuous pestering reminded him of his late human.
Begrudgingly, he joined her and found home with LaLi and Pearl. He was left alone to his own devices and mainly either stayed in his room or tended the gardens around their base. He tolerated the two and even saw them as family, SOMEWHAT, but he doesn't show it. He does care about them in his own, indirect way, and eventually made it his goal to become stronger to keep those he holds dear safe.
Oh also, they can manipulate Earth and their weapons are Dual Tonfas nwn they love playing their flute and tending flowers

Still getting a bunch of my TTRPG characters some portraits for my Toyhou.se. This time, it's the DANgerzone crew (featuring Ocha twice).
Some of these are older and you may have seen before, but I've added quite a few, including two under the cut.
But, in order, here are the characters:
Ocha (Masked)
Uthai, Akkalo
Ocha (Unmasked)
Arrix, Byrtiph
Pride, Daenor, Joy
Shalia, Genan
Under the cut is spiders. TW: Arachnophobia
These are two of Ocha's close animal friends: A phase spider named Bear (deceased) and a giant scorpion (awakened) named Hawk.

Bear is here to say hi to his favourite brothers again (glowstick is here with him!)
Bfjjfkdkdk awwwww🥺🧡
The squad immediately looks up as they see Bear and Glowstick. Just as always Sticker is the first one to greet them both by almost jumping on them to hug them.
<Bear! Glowstick!>
<Sticker… >
<Oh you two are just right in time! I made some lasagna. Why don’t you two take a seat?>
Strife grins at his brother’s and crosses his arms in front of his chest.
<You can say no. His lasagna has no taste.>
Cuyan grins darkly. He earns himself a glare of their sergeant.
Redd snorts and walks up to Bear and Glowstick to greet them both.
<As always the vod has no taste. Sticker!!! Let go of Bear!>
<Kriff off, Redd. Just because he is a better vod than you- >
<I am your bestest vod!>
<It’s best…>
<Thank you Stitch but I don’t give a kriff. Sticker you will suffocate Bear! >
Redd tries to pull his brother away, but Sticker sticks.
Stitch mumbles something under his breath and shakes his head.
<Sticker… they won’t leave immediately…>
<But I missed them.>
<Miss them from afar, di'kut.>
<You are a di'kut! >
<…Why can’t you all be normal for once…?>
Strife glares, his voice getting that one quiet command tone, that causes them all to go still. Satisfied, Strife grins and looks back at Bear and Glowstick.
<Take a seat. Sticker and Redd won’t get anything.>
<S-Striiiiiiife! That’s not fair!>
<Wait why do I always get punished as well?!>
<Because it’s fun.>
<Shabuir!>

How would Bear feel about having an offspring with Claire?
I need to know...for science 👀
Short answer: They'd be like those dads who say "no you can't keep that" when you bring home a stray but is the one closest to said stray a few days later.
Longer answer: Bear would feel a little apprehensive about having children. They're fine with other children but they don't see themself as parent material, no matter who their partner is.
They may disappear for a few months without warning (oops) but would return to take care of the kid and realize they're not terrible at being a parent.
Tldr: extremely hesitant but willing to try (for Claire anyway)
