2, 4, 19, 28, 33 for whichever OC you’re the most invested in currently (since you were going back to some older ones recently)

I was gonna do this for multiple ppl but my brain isn't working rn cuz it's 2 AM so I'll just do it for Sabriel cuz he's easy and I love him.

2: Do they have any daily rituals? Most of his daily rituals involve hygiene lol he's gotten less uptight about them but i think he does still like to take his time in the bathroom in the morning lol. I think he also likes to take a short walk on mornings when he gets up early enough. He also tries to purposely take at least 10 minutes every day (can be any random time of day) to just listen to a favorite song with headphones in without doing anything else, because music saved his life a lot of times.

4: What would they do if they needed to make dinner but the kitchen was busy? Well considering he's the main meal maker for the household he probably would just hover and chat with whoever it was until they let him do his thing, or be like "so are you really just eating popcorn for dinner or do you want to let me cook" lol.

19: What do they think about before falling asleep at night? He has this specific place his head goes most nights that's not exactly like a daydream, not exactly like meditation... it's just a quiet reflective place. If I were to visualize it I imagine a very still lake under a starry sky, dark but quiet and the temperature depends on whether he's feeling secure or not (cold is less secure). It's kind of the spiritual recharge spot in his heart, and he tries to go there when he's falling asleep. But when he can't get his brain to do that (or even sometimes when he can) he's probably thinking about cats, his younger brother, or his boyfriend :P

28: Who do they see as their best friend? Their worst enemy? Well his boyfriend Hale is his best friend apart from Cal (we've literally self-inserted a lot over the years so most of our RP characters have a 4th wall that's more like a sliding glass door). It took Sabriel and Hale literal decades to finally date each other because of all the repression and stuff going on so they've been friends much longer than romantic partners. Sabriel would say his worst enemy is either his dad, or himself (because of trauma from his dad). He still struggles with major self esteem issues but it's gotten a lot better in recent years.

33: Concept of home and family? Home and family is everything to him, because he has had so much unfulfilled yearning around it over the years, from never getting to know his mom, to being disliked by his dad, to feeling awkward about his role toward his younger brother, Sabriel just wants to know he has a family he belongs in dangit!! Luckily I think he knows that now... despite not spending their earliest years together the family member he's closest to is K (his younger brother) because they had to deal with their dad's awful behavior together through their teen years and beyond. So even though they have very different personalities and misunderstood each other a lot growing up, they mean a lot to each other now. And Sabriel's managed to reconnect a bit with the two other long-lost brothers, and he's pretty close with his mom's old partner now too, who's become like the adopted mom he never had. It is interesting though because his extended family on his mom's side is ... very complicated and weird and even though he finally speaks the language passably he still much prefers the hodge-podge collage of his inner circle over trying to fit in with the larger blood relations.

OH and he has an adopted kid named Talmon (idk what Talmon's gender identity should be described as lately lol) who is 20something now (wtf they grow up so fast). But Talmon's been kind of co-raised with some of the other members of Sabriel's social group, most notably Tiras who Sabriel was dating for a little while, because Tiras has a much different approach to mentoring that Talmon needs sometimes when Sabriel's personality is too... hmm... what's the word... accomodating? enabling? Sabriel's too eager to be a peacemaker a lot of the time (it's a deeply rooted coping mechanism from his upbringing) whereas Tiras doesn't mind making trouble so when Talmon needs a more blunt, straightforward, or playful approach that's when Tiras really comes in handy.
