<big><big>Sleeping Habits</big></big>
WHERE/WHEN: Where do they sleep on base? Do they sleep at night or not? 
SLEEPOVERS: Do they sleep with anyone in particular? Who do they avoid sleeping near? (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/19wsKakbL8WoMU-P5pZd_hXJK8V9pQE1sqRBr-qvLWvs/edit#gid=839202742 base roommate spreadsheet for reference)

<big><big>Hygiene</big></big>
KITCHEN SINS: Do they do their dishes or do they leave them for other people? Do they scold others for not doing them? Do they run and hide when there are plates left behind? 
ROOMMATE CHORES: Who here actually cleans up anywhere on the base??? And which of you assholes is making a mess in the first place? 
SHOWERS: How long do they spend in the shower and how much product do they use up? Is there a particular set of shower curtains they prefer? 
HOT SPRINGS: Do they even use this room? Is this an anime episode?

<big><big>Oneness with Nature</big></big>
BIOMES: How far from base can they go without freaking out? Where do they go when they go off-base, and is there a particular biome they prefer?
DISNEY PRINCESS: Do they play with the wildlife? Or do they try to eat everything? Do they train Stalkers do be their friends or do they fight them?
FAV ANIMAL: Quick everyone name your character's favourite weird Subnautica creature.

<big><big>Misc.</big></big>
BASE PETS: Do they give the Magister fist bumps? Are they nice to the baby Reaper? How do they handle the land shark Rhodey? Don't forget Daisy and the Annoying Dog!
URSULA: How do they treat our AI overloard? When they talk to URSULA, where do they stare at?
SPACE SHARING: What do they do when someone is where they want to be? Are they nice? Do they wait their turn? Or do they get aggressive? What is the likelihood of this becoming a murdergame if they really want to go to the washroom and someone else is in there?
SOCIAL MEDIA: What do they post to their Instaclam feed? How many Creepvines have they made? Do they use Report Card Mode, and have they collected all the cats in Naoko's Catsume yet?
THIS BASE IS FULL OF IDIOTS: Other stupid daily routine bullshit that people may notice living in a confined space with a miscellaneous group of irresponsible people.

ii. Or get bored of how long it is and just make up stuff you want people to know about your character being a dweeb on the base.
iii. Comment to others! Talk about how this affects your cr! Plan threads, or get ideas for the settling in mingle post? I don't know. Your life is yours to lead.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

General Routines
DAILY RITUALS: he makes a point to make at least one passive aggressive comment to URSULA per day <3 uh besides obvious hygeine stuff... he usually sets aside some time to either watch a movie or read one of the books that chihiro got for him. he also hangs out with pele the explorer crab a lot, he obnoxiously loves his robot daughter. he also likes to double check to see if he's still locked out of URSULA's coding, which continues to be a thing.
SCHEDULE: he doesn't really have a set schedule, he usually just do whatever he feels like at that exact moment. the only thing he probably has on a set schedule is fighting lessons with rin... idk what that schedule is tho
BASE SPACE: he spends most of his time in his room but otherwise he hangs out at the magister's observatory, the library, and the rec room the most??
FOOD: he isn't picky about eating although he might complain about food because #LittleKarkatThings. he can cook for himself but he prefers other people to feed him because it's easier..... he IS picky about who he takes food from though.
GEAR: he has swim trunks but he typically uses that just when he gets dragged around by rin... he doesn't usually do swimming for fun otherwise? so he usually uses the gear URSULA provided when he has to go into the water for like errands and missions and shit. for normal clothes he just wears a lot of black and gray like an emo child... it's usually all long sleeved stuff, like sweaters.
PALS: he probably spends the most time hanging around dave, kanaya, jake, and rin?? also jade and sometimes rose when she isn't making him go ??? he likes to hang out with the vesperia people... HONESTLY if your character gets along even slightly with karkat he will 100% sit with them and do stuff. he gets attached to people easily once he has decided he likes them.

Sleeping Habits
WHERE/WHEN: he has his own private room. karkat has a pretty shitty sleep schedule that usually consists of him like, staying awake for several days in a row and then crashing? so there might be times where he'll literally be awake for like five days in a row and then he'll pass out at 3pm the next day and then he'll be up at 5am SORRY. he should probably attempt to fix this but so far no one has forced him to so nah
SLEEPOVERS: sometimes dave sleeps with him in his room whenever he wants to chill with him. karkat has probably had sleepovers with jake or rin before? but usually it's either he sleeps alone or dave crashes there.
SLEEPOVER DISASTERS: since he has his own private room this does not v matter... especially since his room is soundproof THANKS DIRK?? thankfully no one has to hear him i'm sorry he is just so loud.

Hygiene
KITCHEN SINS: he does his own dishes and he 100% yells at anyone else who does not
ROOMMATE CHORES: he cleans up his own mess but won't really go out of his way to clean anyone else's unless it's inconveniencing him at that exact moment. will, again, yell at people for being messy.
SHOWERS: his showers don't last very long but he uses a lot of product because he thinks making soapy beards is funny.....
HOT SPRINGS: one time rin pretended like he was going to toss karkat into them does that count

Oneness with Nature
BIOMES: haha he's used to like traveling between planets so he doesn't really freak out about wandering far away from the base. he likes to bother naoko's group a lot she is probably Very Tired of seeing him at this point. when he wants to be alone he usually fucks off to the monolith if he doesn't hole himself up in his room.
DISNEY PRINCESS: karkat avoids the wildlife as much as he can because he refuses to adopt a baby horrorterror or something stupid.
FAV ANIMAL: probably the magister?? he won't admit to it.

Misc.
BASE PETS: he fist bumps the Magister. he's generally nice to the other animals? he's used to land sharks cause of the two week vacation from hell so he's pretty friendly to Rhodey more than the others. the Annoying Dog, unsurprisingly, annoys him
URSULA: he and URSULA have a complicated relationship that consists of neither of them really liking the other that much but URSULA at least tries to be nice.... and then she shit talks him behind his back.... everyone is so #fake??? also he doesn't really stare at anything he just talks.
SPACE SHARING: it mostly depends on who it is? if it someone he actually likes he'll share it although he'll probably grumble about it a bit. if it's someone he doesn't like then he'd flat out be an asshole? and if it's someone he doesn't know it can go from either end of the spectrum depending on what his mood is at that moment lmao sorry
SOCIAL MEDIA: he plays the cat game while pretending that he does not play the cat game?? he also has an instaclam but doesn't really use it for himself, he just likes to look at everyone's pictures and occasionally tell them that they're lucky there's no need for photographers on this planet because they wouldn't get a job here for it.
THIS BASE IS FULL OF IDIOTS: i keep saying this but like, karkat speaks really loudly so even if your character has never actually met him in person yet, there is a good chance they have at least heard him at some point in time?? it's a curse. there are also these pamphlets about troll romance scattered around base so your character may or may not have seen them i guess.

**I ASSUME YOU MEANT THE ZESTIRIA PEOPLE NOT THE VESPERIA PEOPLE

smh tales

.... OH

YES

ALL OF THE MADE UP NAMES SOUND THE SAME OKAY!!! WHAT HAPPENED TO USING REAL WORDS, BANDAI!!!!

karkat, i can't believe you love soap beards

you're a downright

nerd

SHUT UP YOU CAN'T JUDGE..... they make him look sophisticated

OH GOD THOSE PAMPHLETS I SCREAMED A BIT IN JOY??

Eve is so going to ask Karkat more questions about this in the future when she eventually finds them and reads up on them during a rainy day or when Ada is asleep! This would blow her mind.

OH MY GOD PLEASE DO karkat loves when people willingly come to him to talk about quadrants..... no one ever willingly comes to him.....

how does karkat react to Rin's instas of cats and food and pretty hipster sunsets
