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: Rin's entire day is made up of social and practical rituals, because he's an obsessive person way too focused on progress. They're probably all recorded to some degree in his diary.
SCHEDULE: Rin has an insanely busy, highly structured day. He wakes up around 6 AM for breakfast and starts every day jogging around the island or base with whoever's awake, followed by a race in the shallows with Dirk. Then he tends to go fishing for food while he dries out, or scavenging if the base needs things. He'll cook for whoever's in the kitchen around lunchtime pretty frequently. Then comes his workout routine in the gym, weight-lifting/land training/etc with whoever's around. After that he meets up with Karkat or Kanaya or Korra, depending on the day, and does some fight training (Karkat hand to hand, Kanaya with a weapon). Then a break ("break") to work on various projects in the lab -- he sticks more to the chemistry and biology and building side of things, rather than the electric side, though he's got a good aptitude for helping out the tech nerds when asked because this nerd loves math and problem solving. After this comes more swimming, this time in the Olympic pool on base, either alone or with whoever he can con into swimming with him. Then he makes dinner/feeds his worthless, useless friends who can't cook, and has some social time. Various projects and dicking around time with homies happens next. Then he'll read obsessively before bed, either at the library or lounging around in the rec room, and finish his day off with more working out in his room, usually weight-lifting, sit-ups, or stretching. Then he'll write about everything he did in his diary and check to make sure he's progressing, which embarrassingly includes his interpersonal relationships (everyone he has ever talked with, even once, is mentioned). Nighttime heralds ritual anxiety dreams and late-night shit-texting his pals. He's typically asleep by 12/1 and doesn't like to stay up past then. His schedule alters slightly if he's working on a project on a farther island, but the Kon express is super fast.
BASE SPACE: Rin is all over the fucking place, but his Favourite spaces are probably the Olympic pool, a rock just out in the shallows he races to/fishes from, and the rec room (where he can be social and blow off steam without seeming Obvious).
FOOD: Rin has a very strict diet and does a lot of cooking for himself since he would never put that burden on anybody. He loves meat the best, but is typically found making seafood since he doesn't know how to hunt and isn't much of a green thumb. His dishes are, on the whole, super healthy for you, and are hearty and spicy. He's easy to goad into making requests because he likes challenges. I figure he does a lot of Tech Crew feeding, because he's anal as fuck about eating right and they're all ridiculous. He'll go out of his way to make sure certain people are eating in a really tsun way.
GEAR: Rin is ready for SWIMMING!!!! for 70% of every day -- this ranges from his ridiculous neon briefs, to his pro-swimmer legskins, to full gear depending on what goals he's set for himself. He doesn't tend to use the machines apart from when he's scavenging/going someplace with Big Scary Predators, and even then he prefers the sea moths/the stupid merman suit. He's tactile and doesn't even have a driver's license.
PALS: Rin imprints on people like a baby duckling instead of a shark, though luckily he does it across a wide enough body of people that no one (aside from Haru, whose ass Rin lives inside of) probably sees the negative effects of this. Apart from Makoto and Haru, both who he lives with, Rin spends a ton of time with Karkat, Kon, and Dirk. He also likes to chill with Peter, Roxy, Hinata, Jake, Kanaya, Korra, and Hajime. He likes being around Annabeth and Magnus and D.Va and Shiro and basically most of the people he's ever talked with on base. > Rin will now die for you, etc.

Sleeping Habits
WHERE/WHEN: Rin sleeps in a shared room with Haru and Makoto. Rin has very regular hours of sleep, but sometimes gets panic attacks or has anxiety dreams/nightmares. He actually made his own herbal sleeping supplement with URSULA'S help not to disturb his roomies with this/continue to hide this fact from them. Hooray!
SLEEPOVERS: Rin sleeps near Makoto and Haru in their shared room, and he has probably slept over Karkat's/Karkat's slept over his. He turns into a pumpkin around 12/1 because he gets fucking sleepy from being an insanely motivated person all day. He doesn't care who he falls asleep around? He's a pretty trusting sleeper because he literally just passes the fuck out at midnight.
SLEEPOVER DISASTERS: Rin doesn't tend to bother other sleepers or make noise even though he has panic attacks/anxiety dreams at night, because he's trained himself to have them quietly/is taking aforementioned herbal supplements.

Hygiene
KITCHEN SINS: Literally how dare anyone not wash their dishes or keep the kitchen spotless? If you're leaving dirty shit around Rin will want to rub your face in them like a misbehaved dog. Clean your shit and respect public spaces!!!!
ROOMMATE CHORES: Rin is a low key (high key) fucking neat freak and probably straightens up public spaces like the rec room and the library and the lab in addition to his own fucking room. Stop fucking up the base!!!
SHOWERS: Rin showers a lot because he's constantly in and out of the ocean/the pool/sweaty work-outs and is very vain about his appearance, but he keeps them short. He uses a lot of product because again he's vain and doesn't want his hair/skin to get all fucked up. He leaves the bathroom smelling like excellent florals or whatever and will be the first one to yell at someone for making puddles or leaving rings.
HOT SPRINGS: Rin uses this room probably once or twice a week, because its good for your muscles and it forces him to slow the FUDGE down. He unsurprisingly continues to be super down to being in water with other people, and isn't shy about his body. Straight up an anime episode, here.

Oneness with Nature
BIOMES: Rin likes exploring a lot but doesn't do it alone because he almost died one time with Karkat. He probably travels the farthest with Kon because he... can trust... Kon not to let him get killed/die. He's down for all the biomes but prefers the underwater ones with interesting sea life.
DISNEY PRINCESS: Rin is the Jane Porter of Disney Princesses with regards to wildlife. He really loves alien marine life and animals in general, but rather than just bonding with them and glorying in the splendor of nature he's also studying and cataloging them as sort of a weirdly productive hobby. He can actually get distracted from a salvaging mission if he sees a Really Cool Fish He Never Saw Before, which is rare for somebody as focused as Rin. He is currently raising a landshark in a 3 idiots and a baby situation with Reyna and Peter, a kitten with Roxy and Makoto, and a robot crab with Karkat, so he also has a weird tendency to become an animal parent.
FAV ANIMAL: ALL THE SHARKS he also weirdly loves The Intestine because he bonded with one

Misc.
BASE PETS: See above re; Jane Porter
URSULA: Rin looks up when he talks to URSULA, and he has a sort of teacher/student relationship with her. He wants to make her proud but doesn't get very personal, mostly talking to her when he wants to achieve something which is... how Rin normally makes friends with humans
SPACE SHARING: Rin is super chill about communal living because he's lived in a dorm/abroad in a homestay for his entire teenage life. Let's all be cool and respectful.
SOCIAL MEDIA: Rin uses Instaclam pretty frequently, mostly to take pics of sweet animals/food/pretty sunsets/etc. He'll Creepvine a little more rarely, mostly to Dirk or Makoto or Karkat. He does the obnoxious gym progress pics, but doesn't share them. He does not have all the cats in Naoko's Catsume yet but he's very competitive about it with Makoto, who has more than he does. He doesn't tend to use Report Card mode too often, because he'd rather have embarrassing talks about Dreams with people to get to know them/it doesn't have pics like Facebook.
THIS BASE IS FULL OF IDIOTS: Rin is impossibly competitive and driven and wants to do all the things and I'm sorry
