Not to be confused with my OC question of the day or Papes' OC question of the day! Or my other Shindan thread!
Running an OC question of the day thread is rough because you always want to answer your own questions, but by the time you have the time it's been a week and you have a bunch of other questions! Not to mention that your questions always have to be pretty general: "what's your OCs' favorite colors" is easy enough for someone with 10 OCs, but there are loads of people who have OCs in the triple digits and beyond!
But y'know what's awesome? Shindan is awesome. I spent last night working on a bunch of options and whipped up a Shindan that will ask you a question to a specific OC every day!

Here's how it works! You plug in your username, and you'll be given an OC and a question! Here's an example of what the results look like:
Hey there, Toyhouse! This question is for your OC with the biggest family.
Q: How easily are they embarrassed?
You can answer your questions privately, on an OC blog, wherever you'd like! It'd be rad if you posted your results here, though, so we can all learn about your OCs! Some other notes:

Hey there, Mezzaluna! This question is for your most cold-hearted OC.
Q: How are they at teaching others about things? Do they enjoy it?
I actually have an OC named Faith (not on TH yet) and she is really cold-hearted. She absolutely hates teaching others about things. It bugs her and she'd rather not deal with others. She hates everyone and if she does talk to someone, she is always mean about it.
Hey there, TheTrashCan! This question is for your tallest OC.
Q: Do they actively desire attention or would they rather not be looked at?
---
I'm 90% sure my boy Finn here (at 6'11") is my tallest character. He's shy af and would much rather play with some little animals than be the center of attention ;w;
Hey there, Ледокол! This question is for that OC that's entirely too quick to punch people.
Q: Do they fear death at all? What's their relationship with their mortality?
"Technically... I don't die. I either just cease activity due to damage sustained in combat or discontinuity of maintenance one reason or another. If I receive proper maintenance needed then I can practically 'live' forever. All androids are the same... even my most hatred 'oldest unit of the same project'. Fear for such destiny is unreasonable because we know when time comes, once technologies progress further we'll become obsolete and replaceable. Though DAMN IT I HATE THAT INSOLENT BRAT FOR SAYING IT IN MY FACE EVEN IF IT'S TRUE!!!! There's no fear, but of course regret of being considered incompetant so they decide to deactivate me... most of all, because I won't have the ability to protect Mom anymore."
Hey there, RobbieOfHyrule! This question is for your OC who loves amusement parks the most.
Q: How willing are they to change their opinions?
It pretty much depends on the ride he's on but if it's ride that invokes his fears, he'll definitely change his opinion.
Hey there, Rainbow! This question is for your OC who's been to the most worlds and/or universes.
I pick Yume as she travels earth, but ultimately also come from another universe, so that's already a plus one for her-
Q: What's their sense of humor like?
Yume likes cute, silly things! She's easily amused by little things or mess ups, and she likes sincere jokes that's meant to be funny over insulting ones. Not a big fan of puns because she tends not to understand.
Hey there, Barbilou! This question is for your OC with the hardest-to-pronounce name.
I have so many characters with weird names but I haven't submitted them yet, so guess I'll go with Raqio- (Full name pronounced Rackeeoh Acooyoos)
Q: What colors do they like?
Dark and cold colors, since they're most familiar and meaningful to him, as his homeworld is practically always at night, with a very defined view of its kind of universe; As well as he isn't very bond with pastel/very light palettes.
Hey there, Cliodna! This question is for your OC who needs the most additions to their coffee to enjoy it.
Q: Are there any people in their life they can't decide if they like or dislike?
"Raleigh I suppose? He's rude and an atheist but he was also the only one in Paris to neither walk out on me mid-conversation (on account of being bedbound) nor worship me (on account of him thinking that humans were better than angels). Sometimes it was nice talking to someone who spoke latin, since everyone else was always so busy. I think he might not have disliked me as much as he pretended, for I was the only one to visit him in the hospital."
Calling me out from the get go. I see how it is. Ok -cracks knuckles- lets get this show started.
Hey there, Storm! This question is for your OC who sleeps with the most blankets.
Q: What are they like in a romantic relationship?
Warmth is Sien's lifeline when sleeping. Blankets, mate, cat they need it all. So romance is more under the right circumstance. Grey-romantic is the closest they'd fall under. It starts with trust and emotional compatibility. Once that's been established generally most romantic actions are romantic, but the baseline is their emotions towards their partner so pretty open and willing. Exceptionally considerate towards their partner, often putting them over their needs just to make sure their partner is ok.
Hey there, Lеdоkоl ! This question is for your most influential OC.
Q: How willing are they to change their opinions?
*stares intensely then shifts his eyes in swift motion as if looking for something, eventually spots a pen and a piece of paper nearby*
'Not something I have the power to decide myself. Though I'm inclined to listen to others' opinions... ultimately it highly depends on the commanding level whether they will approve such way of thinking. That was... why I listened to every bit of Minya's rant on how I was too uncommunicative and yet, I retained the same stance on Kalinin. Yes... I know I made a mistake... again. And if it wasn't for Minya's insight, Kalinin would still fear me.'
Hey there, sixofswords! This question is for your OC with the highest heat tolerance. (Weird question, weirder still that I have an answer.)
Q: How do they respond to unsolicited advice? What if it's helpful?
It strongly depends on who's giving it. If it's an authority figure, like someone with power (say, a guard) or someoen who looks like they could be one, she'll just sit there and take it, and probably end up following it out of anxiety.
If it's not, she'll consider it carefully. If it's helpful, she'll end up taking it most likely.
Hey there, Roshan! This question is for your OC who thinks putting pineapples on pizza is blasphemy.
Q: Do they like taking the scenic route, or do they always want to get to places as quickly as possible?
---
"Umm, Can I say both? I love getting to parties as soon as I can but also, I love seeing the world around me getting to my area. I guess scenic route, but I really wish there would be a faster way."
Hey there, raiku! This question is for your OC who draws the most often.
Q: How easy is it to get them out of bed in the morning?
___
Inu is a freelance graphic designer and does logos/vector illustrations sometimes too! It isn't super easy for him to get out of bed in the mornings considering he mostly freelances from home, but he likes knowing the fact he can set his own schedule. Since he finds his own gigs and likes doing design related projects, his own drive to want to create helps him get out of bed in the mornings.
Hey there, Rainbow! This question is for your OC who's donated the most to charity.
From all my characters in TH, it has to be Lily, to keep the face of her company.
Naturally.
Q: What's their favorite kind of furniture to sit on?
Chairs. Chairs with the soft cushion bottom and on the tall back rest, as well as having sturdy arm-rests. Something light, without wheels. Nothing too fancy either. Simple chairs work.
Hey there, ThepolaroidPup! This question is for your unluckiest OC.
Q: What's their aesthetic? well I'd say my boy Tom is the most unlucky, due to having a curse put on him, but his aesthetic is plant, and cute homey environments.
Hey there, Ледокол ! This question is for your best dancer.
Q: What is their writing style like?
"Let me recall when was the last time I actually... wrote something seriously than just listing stuffs for grocery shopping. Likely even before I moved to Moscow. Well, you know I'm a profession dancer, I don't write often. For sure I don't like to write something that conveys violent or aggressive wording? Communicating something positive will be better... though my wording is probably stagnant. And... my preference will be focusing on thought procession or feelings than actions."
