Your Daily OC Question! (Updated 10/29)

Posted 6 years, 9 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!

bottom text so wysiwyg doesn't trap me in spoiler boxes forever

Tida Rios ShadmeTheAngel

Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your OC who enjoys slow dancing the most.

Q: How do they feel about killing? Are there situations that would affect their opinion?


From dancing to killing. That escalated quickly. XD Tida's not a killer by any means. The only person she's kind of willing to kill is Kaltath. She's been trained to believe that he is evil and will commit elemental atrocities across the world, harming many people, if he isn't stopped. But his demise is aligned with destiny, in Tida's opinion- an inevitable death with nothing but good consequences. So that's why she hasn't thought too long and hard about it. 

 kyrissa littlebirby

Hey there, birby! This question is for your OC who would resort to the most desperate measures for a Klondike bar.

Q: How are they around children?

Kyrissa has no idea??? How to act around children.  She either acts too adult or too babyish for their age, and she more likely than not will frighten some kids because they wouldn't know she was like. 26 years old

shes so small


Maylu axolotl

Hey there, axolotI! This question is for your clumsiest character.

Q: If someone tried to rob them at gunpoint while they were alone, how would they proceed?


She would fall to her knees, trembling in fear and wishing for her sis to step in to rescue her.

Solque starfast

Hey there, starfast! This question is for your absolute gayest OC.

Q: How easily does jealousy come to them?

Solque actually doesn't get jealous very often. In fact, he comes from a pretty wealthy family, has great friends (and a great boyfriend). So for the most part, it's other people getting jealous of him. 

 Rūta Ledokol

Hey there, Ledokоl! This question is for your OC with the most revealing outfits.

Q: What kinds of patterns do they like? (Stripes, chevrons, polka dots, floral, geometric, abstract, etc.)


(((....at first I expected it to be one of my submarine androids but nope, surprise, surprise...it's her.)))

               "Me? Well, this has been driven Kruno's crazy for some time because he prefers formal looking clothing but I just...love abstract patterns especially in bright colors. ♥ Here are some samples of what I like - a / b / c - aren't they lovely? Too bad Kruno says merely looking at them gives him a headache. Tsk, tsk...he's really getting old now, isn't he?"

Shadmé ShadmeTheAngel

Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your OC who loves banter during battle.

Q: What's their "type," romantically speaking?


Oh my goddddd, I've never heard anything describe Shadmé better! XD Shadmé's never dated, but I imagine she'd like someone the stark opposite of herself. She's dark and timid, so she'd definitely admire someone bright and easygoing. Someone like her best friend Pit! Though she knows she could never date him- they see each other as friends.

Andor starfast

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

Q: Does uncertainty stress them out, or do they just go with the flow?

Nah, Andor is very laidback and very much a go with the flow type of person. 

Sunvaren

Hey there, SoulLugia11! This question is for your OC with the longest nails.

Q: If they get caught doing something bad or just that they weren't supposed to do, how do they respond?

Uhhh I think Fang has the longest nails

Fang usually responds with a sheepish 'hello' and a nervous laugh, just before he realizes that he's probably about to be in trouble. The collar is enough to keep him out of trouble for the most part.

Hey there, Soul! This question is for your most forgiving OC.

Q: Do they actively desire attention or would they rather not be looked at?

Oh my... it would've been a tie normally, since Gwen and Vasilis are both forgiving... BUT then I remembered that Gwen isn't more forgiving than Vasilis because she still hasn't forgiving the kids who bullied her brother when they were younger, so... Vasilis wins!

Honestly, Vasilis is in between. He doesn't desire to constantly be showering in attention, but he would rather not be neglected either. He enjoys socializing and being around people, but he doesn't prefer to be the star.

Hey there, Lugia! This question is for your OC who takes the longest time to fall asleep.

Q: How would they react to being betrayed by a friend?

I would say Corey takes the longest to fall asleep, even when she is tired.

Oh, trust me, she already has been. Not by a friend, however... but by her former fiancee. Let's just say she didn't react too well. In fact, she is still tormented by it to this day. Not gonna include the details because I don't want to go into too much detail X3

Hey there, Eleven! This question is for your best dancer.

Q: Where do their loyalties lie in the Console Wars?

Here comes Peter, because I only have 3 OCs who are even remotely good at dancing, and he is the best at it, though he's no professional by any means XD

Uhhhhhhh Nintendo

Lightmé ShadmeTheAngel

Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your most frugal OC.

Q: What kinds of patterns do they like? (Stripes, chevrons, polka dots, floral, geometric, abstract, etc.)


Lightmé's a very simple gal! She doesn't spend much on herself. Then again, she mostly steals things. But anyway, jagged lines are her theme! Sort of lightning bolt-esque. 

Stella Lagarde -bluejay-

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

Q: Do they like spending money or do they feel guilty about it?


Stella's pretty conservative with her spending when it comes to herself, but when it comes to other people she will go all out. She loves to shower her loved ones with gifts and will be the first to volunteer to help someone with their bills or taxes.

Xander htespagheti

Hey there, wings! This question is for your OC who has the hardest time falling asleep at night.

Q: What's their relationship with lying?

"my datefriend and i are both wanted for theft, armed robbery, assault, destruction of government property, destruction of private property, resisting arrest, and grand theft auto"

Ara starfast

Hey there, starfast! This question is for that OC who wouldn't believe in aliens even if they got abducted by them.

Q: What are their favorite animals?

Ara's not really a big animal lover, so he doesn't really have a favourite. If it came down to it though and he had to choose, he likes cats.  

 Morte Impy

Hey there, Impy! This question is for your OC who spends the most time outside. 


Q: How do they cut their sandwiches, if at all? How many sections do they cut it into?


A: Auria (his girlfriend) cuts his sandwiches into halves. u vu She always packs him something extra when he goes out to scout.

Aeran ShadmeTheAngel

Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your worst cook.

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


Yes, yes she desires power. She thinks she would be able to use it properly because she believes she's very knowledgeable on the state of the world and its history, and consequently, her place in the world and her ideas to help it. However, she is very, very misguided.
