<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.

General Routines
DAILY RITUALS: Watch movies? Look. Jake is such an introvert but he does make a habit of trying to visit the lab everyday to tinker with his guns/build little drones and stuff. Also sometimes he'll watch a movie in the observatories so people can talk to him if they want without him being anywhere he'll actually bother people. sometimes he probably gets caught up reading in the library and forgets to take the books back to his room and just starts reading them there.
SCHEDULE: his only really scheduled thing is a movie with dirk everyday. otherwise he does whatever based on whims more than anything.
BASE SPACE: he... lives in his room?? i'm sorry he's such an introvert. he doesn't really have a space on base. in fact he tries very hard not to take up space on the base.
FOOD: jake doesn't... really cook. like he can go days without a proper meal unless you count dried fish and fruit a meal?? if someone takes pity on the fact that they keep seeing him without actual food though he'll accept a meal. but he would feel bad stealing it. he really likes coffee now and likes to get some whenever he can.
GEAR: jake usually just wears a t-shirt and boxers with skulls on them when he swims. if they're going deeper he'll wear the suit because he has to but otherwise nah. as far as clothes go uh. shorts usually. sometimes baggy, sometimes booty shorts but yeah shorts with boots and a shirt. sometimes he wears something fancier like a vest and tie or something but still with... shorts... VERY RARELY if he has no clean laundry or something is going on he'll wear his god tier outfit. also seriously just imagine shit lara croft would wear that's how he dresses. but no pants... sorry.
PALS: HE IS.... PRETTY SHY.... dirk, roxy, karkat, jade, rin, hinata and peter are people he doesn't have too much of a problem bothering. oh and he likes saying hi to blooky! chara is nice? it's less hangs around and shyly pokes at.

I'M PROBABLY FORGETTING PEOPLE. I HAVE THE WORST MEMORY. really if they've chatted a few times he's okay with shyly poking at them. otherwise assume he's too shy to talk first but will engage in a conversation just fine.

Sleeping Habits
WHERE/WHEN: he sleeps in his room off to the side of the magister's observatory. he likes it just fine there. and he does usually sleep at night though he sometimes goes to sleep late and sleeps in the next day.
SLEEPOVERS: he's comfortable sleeping near dirk or roxy and that's... about it? maybe karkat and jade? but he's pretty shy about sleepovers as a rule of thumb.
SLEEPOVER DISASTERS: jake is more likely to find a blanket for a random sleeper than he is to be the random sleeper.

Hygiene
KITCHEN SINS: he doesn't use much?? really he forgets plates exist half the time. but he'll do dishes if no one has.
ROOMMATE CHORES: jake makes so little mess. sometimes he leaves out parts in the lab since he's used to leaving his shit around like that but most of the mess is luckily confined to his room.
SHOWERS: jake is pretty basic in his hygiene here. he showers at night usually before turning in for the evening. if he's particularly dirty he'll shower before eating though. but it's always pretty quick and sometimes he forgets to use products since he. didn't have a bathroom most of his life. so this is new to him.
HOT SPRINGS: actually he does. it's awesome. it's so relaxing? and it's kind of like being outside. he won't use it if anyone is actually there but he totally naps there.

Oneness with Nature
BIOMES: jake is used to exploring ruins and his island back home so he prefers the above ground areas. mountain island is nice for exploring. floater island he actually fixed up one of the old observatories and it's like his secret base there DO NOT ENTER!!! i'm kidding you can but he'll be offended. and he also likes the aurora minus the reaper roars. as far as underwater goes he likes the kelp forest a lot. he mostly sticks close to the base unless he's out with someone.
DISNEY PRINCESS: he tries to be good to wildlife that's good to him. floater island is his favourite place since it's really calm and aside from the cave crawlers it's safe so he befriends those. he's nice to the stalkers since they're dave's friends and any other passive animals like rabbitrays are good but he will fight anything else tbh. also aside from stalkers and birdogs, nothing is safe from being eaten.
FAV ANIMAL: birdogs! he's also pretty close to the lizard horses. also obviously he likes the magister.

Misc.
BASE PETS: he always fistbumps the magister! rhodey scares him a little and the baby reaper has probably bitten him because he's a moron. but he'll warm up to them. he likes all the cats, daisy and even the annoying dog except when it steals his food.

IT'S WORTH NOTING he has two cats and a rabite that he kept after it was neutered. he also has a robot dog named benjamin. the cats are pretty content in his room and ben usually lives on floater island but sometimes he brings him home to sleep with him.
URSULA: honestly ursula is way too scary for him? she's always watching! she's seen him fuck up like five million times?? leave him in peace please. really he's just too shy for her...
SPACE SHARING: honestly he backs off so fast if someone is in his space. you might not even notice he was there looking for the space he's so fast. if someone wants his space he doesn't min giving it up. really he'd like to keep conflicts to a minimum.
SOCIAL MEDIA: naoko's catsume is fun! he likes checking it. he's very proud of his little yard of cats. secretly he wants a dog version. he uses instaclam sometimes to post pictures of his pets or cool shit he finds LIKE BEHOLD HIS BIRDOG SKULL HE FOUND. it's awesome. he makes creepvines of LARA and benjamin sometimes.
THIS BASE IS FULL OF IDIOTS: probably the most noticeable thing really is just... how shy and quiet he usually is. he doesn't take up space or bother people. please do something about this stupid child. that said if you see him on floater island or something he'll be pretty enthusiastic and happy and possibly playing adventurer so.

there's no way jake survived for years on an island by himself

excuse you all he had to do was eat some fruit everyday and not get eaten by monsters he's fine.
