Well, I'm writing a KSP fanfic. So, I guess I'll answer based on my story.

Jebediah:

Wife and child.

Lives in Kerbin City (yes, I'm referring to that one mod).

Huge interest in astronomy and astrophysics.

Best friends with Bill.

Loves spending time with friends and family.

Bill:

Best friends with Jebediah.

Commonly spends time around KSC, doing work on and above Kerbin.

Like Jeb, large interest in astrophysics.

Bob:

Most commonly works around the Joolian system, living on interplanetary bases.

Tends to see the beauty in the universe.

Good friends with Gerrim Kerman.

Yep, that's it.

[sal_vager]

My Kerbals spend their downtime making snacks, watching KSC "safety" videos (What to do when everything around you explodes!) and drawing straws to see who'll be on the next flight

(Moved to Fanworks, Suggestion because people can suggest what Kerbals do)

My main Kerbal, Ludorf Kerman, has never left Kerbin. He owns a telescope at his home and enjoys looking up at Eve and Tylo (I use Alternis).

He races rovers for a living. He won his Formula 2 championship, and next season he will be in Formula K, as he's been signed by the Kyrian Racing Team.

He enjoys island food, mainly fish and crustaceans. His favourite colour is purple, and his favourite number is #4. He won his first race in KerbalKart with kart #4, and it's a very special number to him.

He lives near KSC 2, along the river, with his wife and two kids. He owns two aircraft: a light aircraft (Kessler 172) and a business jet (KAF Jetstream 32) so he can get to the KSC and the race tracks.

Moar informations!

[SuperWeegee4000]

I'm just going to type up these bios here, and try to keep them short. I make up a lot of Kerbal names.

Jebediah Kerman, from a very young age, was more into rocketry than breathing, much to the disdain of his parents, who feared less for him and more for themselves and the rest of the solar system if he got into the newly-birthed space program. He built a homemade rocket for his sixteenth birthday and it smashed a good-sized hole through both floors, the attic, and the roof of his house. At eighteen, he set off for two terms at Mennefry J. Kerman University of Science and Astrophysics, and applied for the space program as soon as he got out, at twenty-six. His application sat in the office of up-and-coming KSP director Emmeneil Kerman for several days, while the head of the program scratched his head wondering what to do. After advisory as to Jeb's level of enthusiasm for the project, the director finally signed him on as a test pilot for the brand-new rocketry commission. After proving himself with several booster rocket test runs, he became the first Kerbal in space.

Jeb currently lives in the dorms of the KSC (oft mistaken for part of the R&D center), with few family ties. His parents realized he was unkillable long ago. He is sometimes found alone at night in the Observation Dome, manning the huge telescope, listening to rock music and trying to spot decommissioned satellites so he has a target for his latest "recovery" mission. These missions are of course not sanctioned by the KSC - they just know better than to argue with Jeb.

Bill Kerman was a fairly quiet student for most of his child life. When he was nineteen, he joined the Air Force and ended up as a test pilot at twenty-four. He transferred to the space program at twenty-five, and became the first Kerbal in orbit at twenty-seven. He is currently roommates with Jeb at KSC.

Bob Kerman was that kid who tried to be cool and sort of managed it, always staying out of trouble. He ended up doing several patrol tours with the Navy and subsequently joined the KSP. He was the third Kerbal to reach space, and now lives several doors down from Jeb and Bill in the dormitories as an astroscientist. He has another part-time job as the voice of Rainbow Fish on "The Adventures of Psycho Dorky Fish." They say that if there's ever a manned mission to Duna, Bob will be the one to make the first step.
