Your Daily OC Question! (Updated 10/29)

Posted 6 years, 10 months ago (Edited 3 years, 6 months ago) by Isoprene

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!


> > >  https://en.shindanmaker.com/736071  < < <

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:

  • Please let me know if you find any typos or other errors! There are over 500 items in [LIST1] and over 200 in [LIST2] as of posting and I finished this at 3:30 in the morning, so... needless to say, I didn't do much proofreading.

  • Don't like your question, aren't comfortable with it, just want to answer more questions, or can't answer it because one or both items don't apply to any of your OCs? Tweak the name you enter to get a new one! Change the capitalization, use some nicknames, add some numbers... Shindan will consider them all new names that you can use daily!

  • Many questions suggest a modern Earth setting, asking about things like the Internet, video games, cars, etc. Just answer them as thought your character existed in such a setting, like what kind of TV shows WOULD they watch if TV existed in their universe? Likewise, if you get a question like "what was your youngest OC like as a kid?," you can reverse it and answer what they'd be like as an adult and vice versa.

  • The questions vary a lot. Some are comedic, some are serious, some are kind of bummers, some can be answered in one word, and some require a bit of thought. If you got a really short/easy question and you're not satisfied, you're always welcome to try out a different name and go again! The initial batch of items allows for 115,486 different combinations, so you probably won't run out too fast.

  • If either item seems ambiguous, feel free to answer it in multiple ways or however you first interpreted it. Likewise, if LIST1 applies to multiple OCs of yours, you can answer for every OC that applies to or just pick one of them.

  • There are no questions involving sexual content, but there are some questions that involve alcohol and violence.

  • If any of your answers involve detailed violence/gore, abuse, sexual content, etc., put it under a spoiler tag! Basically just spoiler tag anything you'd spoiler tag in other threads.

  • I'll try to add more items to each list as time goes on! I like to make them relatively unique/interesting and make them things you wouldn't think about (c'mon, did you know which OC was most broken up about the Pluto debacle before this? or what their favorite kind of noodle was?), but I'm open to suggestions! Just note that unlike the OC question of the day thread, I can't really credit you for your additions!

 548 Admiral Panteleyev Ledokol

Hey there, Ледокoл! This question is for the last OC you RPed as.

Q: How do they feel about video games?


           "Oops...I feel like this question is particularly handpicked for me. Seeing that the fleet I belong to...there's a stereotype from other fleets that we're all video games addicts. And personally, I tend to know a few things about anime and Japanese video games. Stop! I'm not addicted to them like snacks and ramen I assure you! These things are useful when I'm on a mission to visit our Japanese counterpart because sometimes they let the civilians come to interact with us along with the Japanese warship androids. It allows me to strike a casual conversation with teenagers therefore I often check what's popular in the anime and games part now and then. Other than that, nyet, I don't even play actual video games myself...though a bit of mobile phone game occasionally. Ahem...I can't be too addicted to it or soon Boryushka nii-san is going to trash my phone along with my snacks."

RadiantRaindragon

Doing a few of them because I'm bored.


Hey there, RadiantR! This question is for your first OC if you ordered them all alphabetically.

Q: How do they treat their superiors?

Adder is the first!

He usually treats his superiors with wary respect because while he might not like them very much, he's aware that they have the power to harm him/ruin his reputation/get him into trouble if he doesn't tread carefully around them. In the past, his superiors have mostly been crime lords and people who hire assassins. Not the kind you want to get on the wrong side of.

Hey there, Rain! This question is for your OC who's the best at strategy.

Q: If they had total control over their life, how would they change things, if at all?

Knife is a military commander with a good sense of strategy.

If he could change something, he'd want the army of dragonslayers who threaten his people gone instantly. He's getting tired of losing soldiers in a pointless war.

Hey there, Raindragon! This question is for your OC who tries their hardest to not be noticed.

Q: What similarities do you share with that OC?

Sheldon... Well, both of us are extremely socially awkward and have difficulties with talking to people, especially strangers. But Sheldon might be even worse than me.

Hey there, Emblem! This question is for your most blunt OC.

Q: How forgiving are they? Do they hold grudges?

This made me realise how many of my characters are blunt. XD I picked Draero because he doesn't get a lot of spotlight.

He does hold grudges, sometimes strongly, but he's also open to having his opinion changed. He might not be initially willing to forgive someone who's hurt him, but in time he can learn to change his views on them, and maybe even see things from their perspective. Ultimately, while he's quick to hold a grudge, he's also fairly impressionable and can alter his opinions if given enough reason.

Andor starfast

Hey there, starfast! This question is for your OC who just goes to Olive Garden for the breadsticks.

Q: Would they want to pilot a giant robot

Yes, absolutely 

Kenzie Jules

Hey there, Jules! This question is for your OC who's the most upset about Pluto not being considered a planet anymore.

Q: Are they a "lol," "lmao," "rofl," "haha," "omfg," or "XD" kind of person? Or would they refuse to use any of those?


Well, Kinzie is very annoyed by it (seeing as how she represents the solar system) and thinks humans are very dumb - or at least the lead scientists who decided on that. Back in 2005 (aka when everyone used it), Kinzie was a XD-person. But now, they don't use it anymore.

Tida Rios ShadmeTheAngel

Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your OC who likes soup the most.

Q: Are they easily intimidated?


I imagine that would be Tida. And well, not really! She's not, like, headstrong or anything, but because she tackles situations with optimism, something would have to be SUPER scary to freak her out. Plus she has powers, soooo she has self-defense. 

 Valentin Medveditsin Ledokol

Hey there,  Ледокoл ! This question is for your most-developed OC.

Q: Do they desire power? Do they trust themself to use it properly?


           .  . ).... "No to both questions. I once had it to some degree and...let's say I certainly didn't use it as well as I should have done. Power is an extreme dangerous temptation for ego, and ego will lead you into millions of traps of illusions, deceptions, bias and eventually a downfall. Life under radar is what I prefer right now. Being unimportant is far better than having power that will lure all kinds of dangers toward you."

Tida Rios ShadmeTheAngel

Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your OC with the bluest color scheme.

Q: Are they interested in any sports at all, be it playing or watching?


Tida again! And yeah, I could see her being a bit of a sports person. However, I know nothing about sports myself, so I've never been able to incorporate that into her as a part of her character, haha. :'D

 055 Marshal Ustinov Ledokol

Hey there, Ledоkоl ! This question is for your OC with the most friends.

Q: How do they feel about their body?


          "It's...normal? Unfortunately, being android means I have no such expectation with how my body should be. If my body is in a good condition and able to handle my 'job' properly, then I'm 'happy' with it, so to say?"

Jules

Hey there, Jules! This question is for your most paranoid OC.

Q: What are their dreams like?


Is-is Oswin cheating? He suffers from paranoid schizophrenia! He is hella paranoid though...

His dreams? Good question. He does not dream often. If he dreams, he dreams about his family. He rarely has weird dreams.

Yuucenix Baerksa Kree-Kat

Hey there, Kree-Kat! This question is for your most sadistic OC.
Q: Would they want to pilot a giant robot?

A: A giant robot you say? hmm ive never thought about it before, but it certain sounds very chaotic~
Its not his typical style as one who usually uses his cunning and mentalist magic to ruin someones mind, but he isnt opposed to the thought

Ara starfast

Hey there, starfast! This question is for your most blunt OC.

Q: What kind of thing would they build out of snow?

He wouldn't build anything. He hates the cold, and he especially hates the snow. 

 Konstantin Veliki (Avenger) Ledokol

Hey there, Ledоkоl! This question is for your pickiest OC.

Q: What would it take for them to punch someone in the face?


           "Punch in the face? What a bother...and inefficient way to deal with someone who dares to annoy me. Just deprive them of their head is more efficient, and faster even. Ether I choose the method that guarantee the exact result I want or I won't bother with it at all."
