Your Daily OC Question! (Updated 10/29)

Posted 6 years, 9 months ago (Edited 3 years, 5 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

Alistair McLain AlleycatIrony

Hey there, Kodi! This question is for your OC who sleeps the least.

Q: What kinds of things do they enjoy learning about?

hm this was a tossup between rahart and ace here, but since rahart is part of a system and the other alters sleep - ace beats him there
alistair loves learning abt marine life! if he was better at biology and such - and had more motivation - he would love to become a marine biologist, it's basically his dream
he'd have a marine aquarium if he could, but since it's not smthn he'd be able to maintain due to his mental health, he has a tank of angel fish instead

Aiden Cruelmor Daruby

Hey there, Darian! This question is for your most oblivious OC.
Q: How do they feel at parties? How do they act?    

Aiden is standing in the corner, not wanting to talk with anyone. He barely moves and just waits for it to end. Or leaves. No one usually keeps him by force. 

He always refuses to drink alcohol. In short, Parties is not his element for sure.

 Ash -Alex-

Hey there, PIKMANZ! This question is for your OC with the most black color scheme.

Q: How willing would they be to eat something unusual to them?

I have another design that won't change and has a similar color scheme but they don't have a personality. (I'm gonna add stuff to Ash later on) Anyway. For the question: probably not that willing. But he needs to be developed more.

Hestria VincentVanGoat

Hey there, Vangoat! This question is for your OC with the highest heat tolerance.


Q: How are they at work/school? Are they enthusiastic? Do they slack off? Etc.

A: "...what? What job? I don't have a need for a job. I just nap and hang out and have a good time. Being the Sun elemental is a fun easygoing time."

Gravel Clay ShadmeTheAngel

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

Q: How easily does guilt come to them?


Gravel doesn't often do things that make him feel guilty. But even when/if he does, he doesn't let it overwhelm him. He comes off as quiet and stoic, but it's not because he's depressed or anything like that- he's just a chill guy!

 K-223 Podolsk Ledokol

Hey there,  Ledokol ! This question is for the last OC you wrote with.

Q: How good are they at maintaining eye contact with others?


(((ack, and right before randomize for question, I was in the middle of writing my NaNo fiction. It's a dialogue between Podolsk and Garya but well, the last line I wrote is describing Podolsk's behavior. So....)))

          "Eye contact? I don't have any problem with that. You know...it's kind of a requirement to do so in order to take the leadership position. My younger self had a bit of problem with that but I've grown out of it. By now...it's only Ryazan whom I still have trouble with this eye contact part but you can't blame me alone. He also diverts his eyes from me regularly and I don't feel like staring at him one-sided would make him feel more comfortable."

parker htespagheti

Hey there, wings! This question is for your OC with the biggest collection of reaction images.

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

dick

Sunvaren

Hey there, SoulLugia11! This question is for your OC with the most specific sense of humor.

Q: How do they feel about breadsticks?

I have like 6 OCs with equally specific senses of humor, but I'll go with Peter for this one because his sense of humor revolves around pop culture references, including obscure ones because he's a movie nerd XD

Well that and he can actually eat breadsticks so-

So how about you give him all the breadsticks. Especially if they're garlic breadsticks. He might share if you're lucky or a close enough friend.

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

Q: How dependable are they?

Definitely Nightmare. That thing tends to get very aggressive.

Nightmare is definitely dependable to Percival, having gotten him out of dangerous situations in the past. However, it is only really loyal to him and Ruby to an extent, since she is his girlfriend. It only looks after him and anyone close to him, so it wouldn't be that dependable to anyone else, not really.

Hey there, Lugia! This question is for your OC who always finishes their homework on the day it was assigned.

Q: What's their favorite kind of dessert?

Luke = homeworkaholic

He happens to really like waffles with a scoop of ice cream and salted caramel drizzled all over it. It's specific, but it's his absolute favorite; in fact, it is pretty much the only thing that will stop him from working on his homework so much, especially assignments that aren't due until a week or two after it is assigned. He also finds mochi ice cream delicious.

Hey there, 11! This question is for your OC who'd be the last to ever give up.

Q: How do they act when they're scared?

Wow, I usually make most of my OCs like this, so this would normally be difficult XD But after everything he's been through, Callum hasn't given up yet, and he didn't give up in any of the situations he was forced to endure, so... yeah, hooray for persistence!

When Callum gets scared, he starts shaking and his eyes always widen, even slightly, even when he tries to hide his fear. He, at times, even spaces out or has a flashback to something similar in nature. His curse gives him the flashbacks, but he also thinks it happens because his mind is telling him to learn from the past and do things differently this time.

Wynnonna Carpenter qualityghost

Hey there, Ustin! This question is for the OC you want to punch in the face the most.


Q: Where do they like to go when they get out of the house?

-

Wynnonna lives in the lab, but whenever she does leave the lab it’s normally to do something malicious; normally murder.

marmalade htespagheti

Hey there, wings! This question is for your OC with the most stuffed animals.

Q: What's their favorite kind of noodle?

"those swirly tube ones that are in fancy mac and cheese!!!"

 Svyatoslav Chernichenko Ledokol

Hey there, Lеdоkol! This question is for your OC whose name you wish you had.

Q: How good are they with modern technology?


           "I'm perfectly fine with that? I mean, despite being almost a thousand years old, I actually live among humans and absorb what trend/inventions they created all the time? Not mean to brag, I'm a 980 years old 'man' who can pilot MiG-29 fighter jet. And soon once they replace those MiGs with Su-57s, I'll have to learn how to pilot the newer plane as well, even if it's through simulator. It's safe to say I keep up with modern technology well enough? And of course I have cellphone and VK account!"

abbysavvy

Hey there, Seren! This question is for your OC with the most secrets.

Q: Do they like exercising/physical activity?

Orion is a horse jockey because he's tiny, but he isn't very good at sports like football or lifting weights or anything of the sort.


Galaxis Nebulous Cosmos Bit-Bit

Hey there, Bit-Bit! This question is for your OC who gets excited for the holidays the furthest ahead of time.

Q: What do they get on their burgers?
