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, Jules! This question is for your OC with the biggest collection of reaction images.
Q: What's their preferred snack for when it's 4 AM and they've lost control over their life?
That'd be Ereshkigal, as she's the OC who's on Twitter, Facebook, etc. the most. Well, do "Unicorn Frappuccino", "Serious Strawberry Frappuccino" and "Cat Cake Pop" from the nearby Starbucks count as snacks?
Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your youngest OC.
Q: Are they good at reading and understanding others?
That would technically be Lightmé, since she popped out cloned the way she is! I bet she'd really hate being considered that way though, lol. Anyway, she's pretty good at reading others- that is, she can deduce pretty quickly what buttons to press in order to irritate the heck out of everyone else. :P
Hey there, Ledokol! This question is for your OC least prone to falling in love.
Q: How do they feel about dragons?
"Dragon? Is it REALLY a dragon? Or is it something straight out of Godzilla movie franchise again? I know there's one dragon-or-something creature with three heads...if you're talking Godzilla to me I'm seriously going to blast you with my AK-130 main gun!! No dragons or any other kind of giant lizards mess with my nuclear powered subs EVER. And I'm sure if it's really a dragon, not the ridiculously super ungodly powerful lizards made by Toho, then I should be able to kill it with my Vulkan missiles. Whatever kind of giant lizards it might be, flying or not - I want none of them anywhere near the patrol range of my fleet. PERIOD."
(((well, he's a 'Godzilla and co.' hater for a good reason. The fleet he supervises is known for being featured in a few Godzilla movies...with their nuclear powered submarines being stolen now and then to use as Godzilla's (or the latest, MUTO's) emergency food)))
Hey there, wings ! This question is for your last OC if you ordered them all alphabetically.
Q: How do they feel about sharing?
"fuck off get your own"
Hey there, semety! This question is for your OC who's been to the most worlds and/or universes.
Q: Are they willing to manipulate others? What if it's for an ultimately good cause?
----
Probably Gernet because he's from a different planet.
Yes. He manipulates people all the time. He's a treacherous snake and infiltrator. He manipulates people into thinking he's weak before stabbing them in the back to get to the top
Hey there, Ledokol ! This question is for your most shameless OC.
Q: What's their favorite basic flavor? (sweet, sour, bitter, salty, umami)
"My tongue can sense flavors, that is true, but in the form of stream of data. So I like...whatever flavor that can spark an idea for me to come up with new pranks. Something that will make the sensors in my mouth cavity blare warnings like 'ultra salty human's kidneys will fail in an instant' or 'too spicy it will burn actual human's tongue'. You got the idea? By the way, I don't know what 'umami' is. Some kind of Japanese food? How am I supposed to know the taste when I live all the way next to the Baltic Sea!!"
Hey there, Starfast! This question is for your OC who likes pop music the most.
Q: How do they feel at parties? How do they act?
Andor loves parties. He would definitely be partying every night if his schedule allowed it (it doesn't though, and that's probably not such a bad thing). As for how he acts, he loves to meet new people so he always tries to go out of his way to talk to as many people as he can. He also has no shame at all, so you're almost guaranteed to see him singing and dancing really, really badly after a few shots.
Hey there, Ustin! This question is for your OC with the strongest magical powers.
Q: What is their writing style like?
Often involves romance, murder, or really bad comedy. She IS supposed to be my persona, after all.
Hey there, ShadmeTheAngel! This question is for your OC with the softest skin.
Q: What is a "friend" to them? Where's the line between friendship and "just someone I know?"
I feel like I've gotten the "softest skin" thing before and my gut is telling me that I chose Shadmé for it last time, so here she is again!
Shadmé is a very anxious individual and is very quick to latch on and consider anyone who shows her kindness as a friend. That sounds kinda sad, but oh well. XD
Hey there, RR! This question is for your most confident OC.
Q: Would they rather excel in a skill or two or be a jack of all trades?
I'm going to say Rikk is the most confident, simply because he doesn't have the buried fears/insecurities that a lot of my characters have - he's pretty confident in himself.
There are lots of things that don't interest him at all, so he'd rather just be skilled at a few things. I'm not sure what he'd choose to excel in, though. Maybe real fortunetelling, or some kind of magic.
Hey there, unikels! This question is for your OC who is the most easily bored.
Q: Are they annoyed by things like slang or do they dig the fluidity of language?
Kaisley doesn't mind using slang, but around those that she is friends with. Using slang around strangers is just weird, immature and unprofessional, and she's not a fan of it.
Hey there, Ustin! This question is for the OC with the most diverse wardrobe.
Q: What's their preferred snack for when it's 4 AM and they've lost control over their life?
Thin mints, M&Ms, any candy that she has.
Hey there, Rhys! This question is for your OC with the most voracious appetite.
Q: How easily do they get stressed out? How do they manage stress?
---
He gets stressed out really easy, his current situation is pretty awful and he's not had the easiest time of adjusting to it.
He likes animals a lot. When everything gets too much, he likes taking long walks in the woods, finding quiet groves to meditate in.
Hey there, TenMomentsTill! This question is for your OC who dwells on the past the most. Q: Do they like exploring and discovering new things, or do they prefer the comfort of familiarity?
Rory is open to new experiences but he usually has to have someone introduce it him first. He normally won't go out of his way to try new things.
