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:

This question is for your most easily distracted OC. Q: Are they most likely to pick rock, paper, or scissors first?
"Are we doing crafts?! Crafts is fun! What's the rock for? ooooo it's a game?..." Picks paper because he wants to draw a picture.
Hey there, Mashter-Potato! This question is for your OC who likes sci-fi the most.
Q: Do they act the same around everyone, or do they change a lot around different groups of people?
"Why of courssse, everyone would act differently in those circumssstancesss."
Hey there, Soul! This question is for your most imaginative OC.
Q: Do they enjoy intimidating and/or lording their power over others?
"Are you kidding me!? i LOVE scaring people! They shake like little leaves and they make the most funny faces! And like, duh, yeah! Who wouldn't want to use their power to intimidate others? The thrill is exciting! As long as I don't go too far, it's fun!"
Hey there, puhlizzyy! This question is for your most confident OC.
Q: How well do they feel they understand themself?
Denim is pretty well-versed with himself. He's got a pretty good idea of his capabilities and shortcomings
and will act with respect to that knowledge as to not put himself in precarious situations!
Hey there, Jules! This question is for your OC who drives the slowest.
Q: How good are they at maintaining eye contact with others?
Oh. Uh...who drives the slowest? Not a lot of my character have a drivers license, because they all live in a giant city with near eprfect public transit. Only like 3 characters of me have a license - Silas, Justus and Kinzie. I'll say Justus for now, but they all drive equally fast.
Justus is quite good at keeping eye contact, surprisingly. Hee's shy, but he was taught very early on to keep eye contact, no matter how uncomfortable you become.
Edit: Wait, there is one other character who'd have a driving license, but plot happened, and you can't really drive a car when you're wheelchair-bound :'). That'd be Ellie. If she wouldn't have been paralyzed from the waist down in the accident, she'd be a very slow driver.
This question is for your last OC if you ordered them all alphabetically.
Q: How do they feel about their future?
A: His future is super uncertain. He's scared honestly, but he doesn't let it show cause that's not what he was taught. His lion tamer wife puts his mind at ease a little, but not is very certain when you're a werewolf. Especially when you know you have a jealous childhood friend who wanted to marry you instead. Of course there aren't too many people he can openly talk about this with so that doesn't help either.
Hey there, Euphie! This question is for your OC who's the most prone to procrastinating.
Q: What's their relationship with romance?
Joshua: I don't know....I never really had the desire growing up, I was always content with being alone. But a girlfriend would be nice.
Hey there, Starfast! This question is for your most relaxed OC.
Q: Do they like receiving gifts? Giving gifts?
He loves receiving gifts. He's not so big on giving gifts just because he's living paycheque to paycheque and doesn't always have the money leftover to buy things for other people.
Hey there, Ледокол! This question is for your OC who has the biggest emoji collection at their disposal.
Q: How are they around children?
"Ouch, I'm never really fond of kids to be honest. I love the attentions they shower me but when they demand attentions for themselves? Nahhhhh-- try your luck with someone else, kids. Yarosh is probably my go-to guy to get rid of attention seeking kids. That guy is unbelievably good with children for an android."
"Hey there, Jules! This question is for your OC who just orders take-out all the time.
Q: Assuming it's full and they can pick any seat where do they prefer to sit in a car? Yes, they can drive!"
Silas. That. Is. Silas. Out of his friend clique, he is the only one who has a drivers license. During the day, he sometimes goes to grab fast food with some of his friends. He's the one who's always on the drivers seat.
Hey there, Ledokol! This question is for your OC who hates anime the most.
Q: Do they prefer white chocolate, milk chocolate, or dark chocolate?
"The cheapest one. Don't care what type it is. When you're going to spend a fortune feeding chocolate to an android, you know how pointless it is. Therefore, no to need to spend extra fortune for the expensive one. Save that money to spend on something else that's obviously more useful."
