Jester ZorionDreamer

Pros
You'll have a lot of time for yourself, he's usually not big on dragging people to convos and such
Likes debating and stuff like psychology and philosophy, so if you like that it's a pro
Works as a quick way to charge your phone  :D
Definitely will hand you a helping hand unless you don't share your snacks with him /hj
If you get along well enough with him you'll have a loyal friend for life

Cons
Can be unpredictably violent, not to mention emotionally unstable
Messy... As in very messy
If he helps you, he expects you to help him back
May suddenly adore you to death, and then hate you for no reason at all

That's all I can think of at the moment

Eva Lumi_fins

Pros:

  • Brings in a lot of cash and would probably be fine with paying the rent on its own. (Think of it as payment for your silence lmao)
  • Quiet and wouldn't bother you much.
  • Would keep the place neat and tidy, provided it's around long enough to do so.
  • Won't mess with your possessions out of disinterest. The most they'd take is pens and paper maybe.
  • If you annoyed it enough, you could probably get it to do your coursework/homework for you.
  • Doesn't take up much space since most of its possessions would be kept in its lab. (Its lab is in an entirely separate building btw)
  • Would have a cure to deal with any illness you could contract.
Cons:
  • You'll probably be visited by the authorities at least three times, and you'll have to be the one to deal with them since Eva probably wouldn't be home at the time.
  • Though the house would be covered for by it, you'd have to live with the knowledge that you're basically living off of blood money.
  • You may or may not be murdered in your sleep, either by Eva or one of its enemies.
  • You also may or may not have organs and/or blood stolen in your sleep by it.
  • It'd be very dismissive of you, so good luck having an actual discussion with it.
  • Wouldn't buy groceries and can't cook, so you'd have to make all the meals.
  • It might end up framing your for its crimes if things start to get dicey.
Guinevere bixby justsomehumanperson

Kind, makes good tea, talkative, will let you borrow all her great books.

She doesn't enjoy following rules or being told what to do, and will DEFINETELY hog the shower.

☕ Rowan | RT (♠ Canon - 7 years later ♠) Digitalpinkie

  • Entertaining/Exciting to have around. He's always doing something stupid that makes every day not so boring.
  • Fun to talk to, in my opinion.

Cons (there's alot.):

  • You never know when he might stab you in your sleep.
  • Has tantrums often, you might get hurt.
  • Really mean and lazy.
  • Annoying as shit.
  • Does stupid shit like put a metal can in a microwave because he doesn't know how technology works.
  • Stubborn ass.
  • Has several mental illnesses that are quite troubling to deal with.
  • Very posessive of items he considers his.
  • Will dump most of his work onto you.
  • Probably more shit he does that's annoying there's so much-
Ryuka Henderson Astryuk

Pros:
- clean
- good cook
- generally justa good roomate, respects your space, isn't too disruptive

Cons:
- Their hair is everywhere they shed more than any animal.
- You might wake up to metal playing (not loudly enough to wake you up usually, just something you might randomly wake up to hear)

- They take all of the hot water in the shower it takes them so long to shower they have so much hair to watch and a 30 step hair routine

Oswald koolwench

Pros
+ Would always keep up on his part of the rent
+ Never invades your space and (usually) minds his business
+ Likes doing chores with you (honestly, he might just do them all himself)
+ Very clean and organized
+ Will watch literally anything on the TV, never argues about it
+ Goes anywhere with you if you want him to go too
+ Buys the best holiday gifts simply because he has cash to throw around and he doesn't know how else to say happy holidays

Cons - If you cook, he will not eat it and will probably have a burger instead
- Smells like smoke all the time
- Exclusively uses that strong old man soap (I mean, he's an old man)
- Wakes up early with a loud alarm
- Does not appreciate any kind of tomfoolery
- Swears a lot. Even if your mom has you on speaker, you will not get through the phone call without her hearing some flavor of colorful profanity.

Bea/Berseria Wild (Blueberry) pandaAWAKE

All these lovely characters here <3

Pros:
- She have manners
- It’s always clean with her around
- Love fashion, and would use you like her own personal Barbie doll. So if you lack clothes, she is your gal.

Cons:
- Practice swordsmanship in the middle of the night
- She will lose her calm persona if you don’t clean well, as she see dust from miles away.

Willow wilt_ed

Pros

  • Will clean up after herself
  • Will pay her part on time, maybe even ahead of time
  • Keeps to herself, so no loud roommate who gets all up in your space
  • Won't eat your food out of the fridge 
  • Very knowledgeable, good study buddy if you are in school 
Cons 
  • Cannot cook outside of super basic meals, and if she does, you probably won't want to eat it
  • Very possessive over what is her's. If you ask, she'll let you borrow almost anything, but if you don't ask first, she will go crazy
  • Not very patient, so if you don't do your part on time, you will be pestered until it is done
  • Will be awkward if you invite any friends over to the place, will probably make them uncomfortable unintentionally

Revive thread :)

Citrine Hexticide

Pro's

+ Will do literally all the chores if you need them to

+ Is good at most of the chores

+ Will listen to all of your problems and offer emotional support (along with advice/solutions if you need it and if they can give you any)

+ Really fun to be around

+ Will remove insects from your room without killing them

+ Pays on time

+ If you're an insect lover they most likely keep insects in their room (as pets)

Cons

- You can never tell if they ACTUALLY want to do anything you ask them to and you end up feeling guilty anytime you ask them because you feel like you're taking advantage of them somehow (they are a people pleaser and you are right to feel bad)

- Will judge you if you are scared of/hate insects (he wont say it out loud but you will feel it)

- Will eventually develop conflicting feelings towards you if you ask him to do a lot of things

- They're 150cm so they won't be able to get things off of high places without a step ladder or parkouring 

- If you're an insect hater they most likely keep insects in their room (as pets)
