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, Zehmocha! This question is for your oc with the biggest closet.
Q: How do they talk on the Internet? Do they use abbreviations, slang, emojis, etc?
Considering her age, I think she would talk like a stereotypical middle aged person on the internet. Using a lot of emojis (ex. using when seeing a funny meme), and using common abbreviations like lol and stuff like that. :0
Hey there, Rain! This question is for your OC who's the best with a spear.
Since she normally fights with a lance, I think it'd work as well with a spear...?
Not sure. None of my spear users are on TH right now.
Q: What kind of driver are they?
Um, they ride a horse, so I guess I'll answer this question in this context?
Elva cares a lot about her horse, Aethon! She's really gentle and overprotective of him, and she tends to lead him across landscapes if it looks too difficult or if he gets scared. She trusts her horse a lot, so I guess? considerate?
Hey there, Ledokol ! This question is for your OC who's helped the most people.
As far as I can think of right now, Kosek is probably the one fitting this condition the most.
Q: If they could choose their manner of death, how would they choose to die?
"I hope for... something that everyone expects it the most. As an android, illness is out of question. Being retired is perhaps the android's equivalent of dying from old age, so that's my most preferred choice. If anything, I'd highly rather not be 'gone' through accident. I lost my previous superior to one, it totally caught me unprepared... I don't want my friends to relive that agony."
Hey there, fruittoot! This question is for your OC who is the most easily bored.
Q: What's their favorite gemstone?
probably gonna be him, never thought about my characters favourite gemstones before lol but i think he'd probably like sunstone! and some of the pictures have pretty similar colours to him lol
Hey there, Ledokol! This question is for your OC who sleeps with the most blankets.
Archie probably wins this without much competition. A SoCal guy stuck in Vladivostok - which gets lashed on from the cold wind originated in Siberia every winter. He definitely needs lots of blankets to survive...
Q: Are they a sore loser or a graceful loser?
I don't doubt he can be a sore loser at times, but acts like a graceful loser to avoid confrontation. Just look at him - he's pretty small and not that strong. Any physical fighting nearly always guarantees he'll lose so he just learns to suck it up quietly instead of throwing tantrum and possibly attracts troubles.
Hey there, salida! This question is for the OC who thinks things through the least often.
DEFINITELY Junko. She's totally an "act now, think later" kinda person.
Q: What would they be like as a Pokemon?
Seems like a fun question... As an original species instead of an existing one I assume? Junko would definitely be something cute looking but also something with pretty good stats I think... and I imagine she'd be a ghost and fighting type! Or maybe just ghost type on its own
Hey there, dethklok! This question is for your OC who's the best at math.
That would be Miss Maya over here.
Q: What's the pettiest thing they've ever gotten into an argument over?
She got pissed at her ex Axel for the way he folded laundry.
Hey there, Rain! This question is for your OC with the most unique powers.
I picked Akitoshi since I really like how his powers tie to his issues with eyes and how useless they are to him.
Q: How do they deal with the emotions of others?
Akitoshi is rather empathetical, so they understand others' feelings pretty well, but not reasons. They're emotion-driven when around their loved ones, and more logic-driven around strangers and people he's not too close to, but overall they try to respond to others as someone as a figure of solace, being an elder brother, so he's used to that.
Hey there, salida! This question is for that OC who never has any goals.
He used to have goals, but currently he doesn't have any. He drifts aimlessly through life it seems...
Q: How would they react to being insulted by a stranger?
Mortimer doesn't like to cause scenes or stand up for himself, so he'd most likely brush it off and walk away or ignore it. He's endured a lot of insults throughout his life so I don't think anything would bother him much anyways. Inwardly? It would probably weigh on his mind for a while...
Hey there, Rain! This question is for the last OC you got art from someone else of.
Had to check between two OCs - it was Crystal!
Q: What kinds of patterns do they like? (Stripes, chevrons, polka dots, floral, geometric, abstract, etc.)
Growing up, Crystal grew up with a lot of old-fashioned checkered patterned clothes, so she tends to steer clear of them pfft. She can never trun down floral patterns - even if they're kind of tacky on her shirt, it makes her look fresh and more natural, according to her.
It can be noted her formal wear has flower patterns, and she loves sunflowers.
Hey there, Ледoкол ! This question is for the OC you most associate with the virtue of patience.
At first I thought it'd be Kosek again, but going through all my OCs, I remember Zelimir who is super patient having to live with Branimir for roughly two millennia...
Q: How do they feel about being touched? Is it different between partners, friends, family, and strangers?
Consider his experience, Zelimir probably has more openness to being touched by strangers more than most people. Like, in the case of being conquered by another state. However, he may still feel uncomfortable by the type of physical contacts deemed 'intimated' by strangers - like hugging when the dynamic isn't clear if it's a friendly hug. Since he has a specific condition to never have a partner, I'm going to skip this route. As for friends and those he considers family, he'll definitely let them touch the majority of his body without awkwardness.
Hey there, Rain! This question is for your OC you have the most AUs for.
She has three, and I think that's a lot, considering not a lot of my OCs have fully established AU!s.
Four if you also count her OG form.
Q: What kind of video games do they enjoy?
Eiko doesn't play video games! She's too foreign to the concept of video games, and doesn't care about it.
Hey there, ThatDoggo ! This question is for your most imaginative OC.
Ah I’ve got about three pretty imaginative characters. Noah might be #1 though.
Q: If they had total control over their life, how would they change things, if at all?
Since he’s pretty young and thinks he can fight God with his bare hands, he’d probably add some kind of monsters or something to fight into the real life world. He’d probably also give himself superpowers (super strength probably). Stuff like that, haha. He’d definitely add a little ✨spice✨ to life in the form of fantasy
