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, Ren! This question is for your OC with the loudest outfits.
Q: What do they smell like?
A: "I guess I smell like... bananas, sometimes? I eat them a lot. But I've... never really given much thought to it. Agnes says I smell like yogurt with assorted fruit mixed in, but I think, maybe, that's a bit specific. Also probably exaggerating a little bit."
OK, this is an amazing question.
Hey there, hedgemaze! This question is for the OC who overthinks things the most.
Q: How do they feel about bouncy castles?
Around his friends, Haggis would act like he thinks bouncy castles are stupid, but if he's the last one left at the party (or if he's alone with Roadie), he'd totally go for a jump.
Hey there, Mika! This question is for your OC who loves ribbons the most.
Q: How protective are they over those they care about?
Very, she is very protective, willing to give her own life for those she loves.
Hey there, Сашка! This question is for your OC who's the most insistent on living only in the present.
Q: What Western zodiac sign would they say fits them best? Which one actually fits them best?
______________________________
"I'm not really...interested in that kind of stuffs, you know? Being an android I doubt it really affects me. Therefore, sorry but nope...I don't know enough about zodiac to say which one fits me. Ask my creator...oh, that's already included in the latter part? Good...because this guy is a sucker for zodiac sign personality thing."
......According to what I consider his 'birthdate', he's a Leo. But honestly Cancer/Leo cusp seems to be fitting him best. His young self was too shy and emotionally sensitive for a Leo.
Hey there, hedgemaze! This question is for the OC with the most diverse family.
Q: What is a "friend" to them? Where's the line between friendship and "just someone I know?"
I think I'm going to go with Kaji for this, because although they're not his biological family, he's the leader/a sort of father figure of an artist's squat full of diverse personalities. He's the sort of person who will call everyone friend, unless they prove they don't deserve it. He's not naive, but he's forgiving and understanding, and he believes in the inherent good nature of people.
Hey there, drowofdarkness! This question is for the OC you've written the most about.
Q: What kind of thing would they build out of snow?
I'll go with Nikko. Once he (mostly) got past his emo phase he became a total sap so he'd probably try to make a one-armed snowman that looked like his boyfriend. If not that, definitely some sort of fish. And then he'd probably get hungry and eat the snow-fish just for the heck of it.
With the fact that Storm doesn't really interact that much a lot in mind, I think it'd be embarrassing to her if someone were to make a good point out against her and/or she couldn't think of of a comeback in return, mostly because that's what she's so well-known for.
Hey there, REni! This question is for your OC with the least consistent backstory. --heck most of my oc's don't have backstories sooooo.... out of the ones with backstories though this is the most convoluted one
Q: What kind of flooring do they prefer? Like carpeting, hardwood, good ol' natural dirt, etc.
NFNN prefers tile floors, they sound good when stomped on with shoes and are easy to clean.
Hey there, Сашка! This question is for your OC with the most black color scheme.
Q: How complicated do they make their passwords?
(((o_o;;; ...It's...it's a tie between Nastoychivyy and Yura. I can't decide who to use, argh----)))
"Keep in mind that my fleet hosts the most troublesome maniac like Zhenya, I need to make passwords extremely strong that he won't even dare to try cracking just to entertain himself. Maybe in reality that's not a real difficult task since he's kinda...dimwit. But I take no chance to risk finding out if he could prove me wrong. So if I have to say, my passwords are usually complicated enough that even flagships of the other fleets won't be able to crack them."
Hey there, hedgemaze! This question is for your OC who paints the most.
Q: How easy is it to get them out of bed in the morning?
There are a few characters I could pick for this, but I'll go with Theo. It's easy to get him out of bed; he's one of those up-and-at-'em kinds of people who's eager to go and do things. Ira's a heavy sleeper though... when he actually sleeps.
