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:

bottom text so wysiwyg doesn't trap me in spoiler boxes forever
X! This question is for your best tennis player.
Q: How would they fare in a zombie apocalypse?
Guess Oshii is my more sporty boy.
A: Oshii would honestly start off as a nervous wreck. If he got some time to calm down he would adjust quickly. He's an adventurer and always up for new, exciting and dangerous things. The gruesomeness of zombies might throw him at first. That being said if he lost someone important in front of him that might change.
Hey there, Ледокoл ! This question is for your OC who's the fastest to flee from conflict.
Q: How organized are they?
"Moderately, I guess?? Admittedly there are times when things messed up because of hindsight, even though I thought I did a sufficient job on them. My younger brother Lev is better than me...it's almost like he's obsessive. And of course, my best bud Petya is the best! You can't be a flagship of a military fleet and not exceptionally organized!"
Hey there, Malniet! This question is for your most naive OC.
Q: What's their fashion sense like?
He's never had a chance and has never wanted to explore fashion outside of the things he once wore daily, so he focuses far more on practicality and accessibility now- what clothes he's brought with him since running away have been very simple compared to his usual attire. He's still used to more elegant clothing though, and he misses the smoother feel of some of his old shirts, unable to sleep with the rough cloak he has now. In a modern setting he'd probably be a big fan of high-end comfortwear and casual businesswear haha
Hey there, Malniet! This question is for your OC who's relied on the most.
Q: What's their default sitting position?
He usually sits with one leg on the ground and the other angled across the top of that leg, he's done so much work that way when he doesn't have a table that he defaults to it even when he's supposed to be relaxing haha.
Hey there, Jules! This question is for your OC who's the least affected by the sight of gore.
Q: What colors do they like?
Well, that would be Rodion, probably. Favorite colors? Uh...none. He's colorblind, complete achromatopsic. Though he does see color between midnight and 6am...oh, wait, I'm getting OT. His favorite color is neon green.
Hey there, wings ! This question is for your most innocent OC.
Q: How complicated do they make their passwords?
he thinks theyre complicated but,,,,,, theyre all 54321
Hey there, RadiantRaindragon! This question is for your OC with the most black color scheme.
Q: Do they get plain bandages or bandages with characters/patterns on them?
Plain ones. I don't think colourful patterned bandages even exist in his world. In any case, considering most of his life's injuries were obtained from terrifying cursed nightmares, having silly bandages wouldn't really make him feel better about it and he also wouldn't want to 'make light' of his situation. He takes his problems much too seriously, and he isn't easily amused.
Hey there, ChosenUndeaad! This question is for your OC who loves the forest the most.
Q: What's their favorite kind of cake?
Amarita doens't eat cakes often, as he prefer salty flavors over sweets. But he definitely loves eating carrot cakes!
Hey there, Ледокoл! This question is for your OC who handles spicy food the best.
Q: What colors do they like?
"...My favorite colors often got me accused of either being an emo or... 'unmanly boy who refuses to grow up'. Whatever...on the bright side, those who spurt such nonsense don't live near me so I won't get to hear their retorts often. I like dark gray and black because they're neutral colors that can easily work to match many other colors. My other favorite hue is blue...both darker and lighter shades i.e. Prussian blue and sky blue."
