Besides biological necessity and religious/cultural custom, what

>>52525864
Paranoia
Distrust
Desire for aesthetics

>>52525864
Permanent danger of their body (de)compressing to death.

>>52525864
Anonymity, privacy, values the ability to have control over every aspect of their appearance

Mad alchemist whose suit feeds him a constant chemical cocktail of his own making.

Intimidation.

>>52525864
They are a carrier of some sort of terrible plague and they don't want anyone else they come in contact with to catch it.

Sex stuff.

leprosy/horribly disfigured to the point they don't want people to see their skin.

Disguise in a place that wants him dead?

>>52525864
He comes from a world or place where wearing the suit at all times is absolutely mandatory, and therefore views it as a second skin. To walk without it would be the mental equivalent of walking nude in a sandstorm.

So, kind of a cultural custom, but one born out of pure necessity that the individual cannot part with.

Alternatively, because the bodysuit hides your physical features, and enables you to be judged purely on the merits of your accomplishments rather than your looks.

>biological necessity.

Use of noxious gases as a primary form of attack or perhaps a great fear of germs or enviromental contamination. Played a character like that once, loads of fun.

Michael Bay and the numerous AI knockoffs of him.

Imagine being a starfarer in 100-200 years, and you're between shifts so you watch some Future!Netlix action films and they all have scenes of space ship/ station glass blowing out and sending everyone to their deaths. Then you watch some German feature and the MC talks about how it's only a few inches between you and certain death. Repeat for almost every type of show you watch.

It wouldn't be too out of place to buy some gear that would let you survive, right? Maybe you get it cheap from the company or !Amazon. Then someone sees you and it just starts spreading from there.

Would you count "protection from environmental hazards" under "biological necessity"?

>it becomes necessity on the NOT!Russian stations where whole sections are open to cold space and so everyone just stays in their suits.
>it catches on
>out run stations start becoming bare bones where only the crew quarters have life support
>major corporations catch on to cut costs, finding increased wages offset the upkeep of station-wide life support

I'd imagine it'd be like when I worked in the mines; no one removed their suits because you had to take like a 15min shower just to go eat, on a 20min break so we all just worked straight through and finished early.

fanatical prudism?

Touch phobia.

>>52525864
Severe body image issues. They don't want anyone to see how ugly they (in their mind, justified or not) are.

>>52525864
Being able to undress and easily disguise themselves, because everybody identifies them with the suit and nobody knows what they look like underneath.

>>52525864
Honestly biological necessity is like 95% the reason people wear clothes at all. I guess embarrassment. Otherwise, I don't know, it's fucking cold out or something? Not like you'd die cold, but perhaps you just want to be comfy?

They're actually entirely made out of clothing and this is the easiest way to go about it without giving themselves away.

They wear full plate.
