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!

Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your OC who would be the most overwhelmed by the thought of holding hands.

Q: How do they feel about cuddling?



"........." *For a couple of seconds, the usual stoic face of his softens into...something that doesn't display in his expression often but he then notices the change and forces his composure back to the stoic mode*

"No one should be desperate enough to cuddle an android created especially for warfare like me. I mean, what, do I look like a side sleeper pillow? A giant teddy bear? Nah, cuddling with me won't generate a sensation different from hugging a stone statute. Why would anyone want to do that anyway? If there are still other human beings out there, go ahead, a random hug will do - that will be a much wiser choice than trying to do that stuff with me."

*mumbles under his breathe* "Why all the weird romantic and intimacy subjects are being constantly thrown at me? First the marriages jokes and missing wife inquiry and now what's with this cuddle thing even...?"

 Yibei Fan primskorv

Hey there, Primskorv! This question is for your OC who's the fastest reader.

Q: What's their favorite kind of dessert?


I've actually never thought of this...! She's not much of a sweets-eater overall, but I'd see her gravitating towards lemon-flavored things... lemon-meringue pie no doubt! Sticky treats get stuck in her piercings though fnskldkls she also likes cinnamon jelly-beans even though they are objectively disgusting

 Yamal Ledokol

Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your OC who's the best with kids.

Q: Do they believe in the power of friendship?


Absolutely!! Petya, despite being flagship of the largest naval fleet in Russia and a secretary of the navy's flagship on top of that, often finds time to spend with me! Since we stay in different towns about thirty kilometers apart, normally we keep connecting through social media daily. But any time I drop by the Northen Fleet's base, he always finds time to come to see me no matter how busy his schedule is!


....Okay, I guess that doesn't sound like enough of a big deal. The thing is, we have discussed about situation when icebreakers need to acquire weapons in order to operate during wartime. There was this one famous icebreaker who fought his way to provide the icebreaking service to the arctic convoy while being targeted by the enemy. Those escorting warships already had their handful to protect the merchant vessels with food, ammo and other supplies, thus the icebreakers mostly needed to protect themselves by taking up guns on their own. Because I really despise violence, I told Petya that I will never be able to do the same. The mere thought of having a gun rigged to my body is more than enough to freak me out. And listen to this!! Petya actually made a promise that if somehow we would ever be in a similar situation, he would take it his personal responsibility to protect me! I mean, look!! I'm only a mere civilian icebreaker, I'm not important at all in comparison to him but Petya wants to protect me! I don't know what have I done to deserve a powerful warship like him as a friend like this. *is getting quite emotional right now*

The best I can do in return to him is to ensure the safety for Petya and his fleet when they need to go on mission in the arctic area where sea usually freeze up. No way ice is going to harm you or your subordinates as long as I'm here! You can count on me for that Petya!!

Fern primskorv

Hey there, Primskorv! This question is for your OC who likes cutesy things the most.

Q: Do they prefer smooth peanut butter or chunky peanut butter?


O I'M SAD CUZ IVE NEVER DRAWN HER AND I MADE HER CHARACTER PAGE JUST TO ANSWER THIS Q CUZ ITS SO PERFECT FOR HER.... She loves smooth peanut butter !! She doesn't like the chunky kind cuz it gets stuck in her teeth and she's really anal about her dental hygiene fnkslkdgl ... 

Renigee

Hey there, Renigeegold! This question is for your OC who loves shorts the most!

Q: How do they feel about anime?


Well, Leo loves shorts, even in winter (only on days it doesn't go below 15 F, which is as uncommon as you'd think in Canada.)

Leo has never really watched a single anime, even the mainstream ones with fans up the wazoo. He thinks the eyes are weird and way too big, but other than that the style is okay. He does think the schoolgirl trope is overused.

Cynthia Ingalls primskorv

Hey there, Primskorv! This question is for your OC who fears bugs the most.

Q: What are they like in a romantic relationship?


Like. Pretty frigid and not very giving, emotionally. Will take u along to events and stuff and be really anal about what you wear and how you act. You've gotta make a good impression, after all. Expects affection in the form of gifts, like jewelry. Not neccessarily outwardly MEAN or anything, just a bit reserved! 

Mateo🌙 Renigee

Hey there, Renigeegold2! This question is for your OC who loves earrings the most.

Q: If they suddenly had an identical clone with all of the same memories, how would they treat them?

-"Well... I'd probably tell it to do the stuff I don't want to do, to serve as a cover. For starters, it'd probably visit Sierra and the baby. Maybe go to work for me too. If it doesn't cooperate, I'll just tell it that if it doesn't do what I say, I'll stuff it in a closet and starve it."

Kyle SollyRaptor

Hey there, RainbowDragon! This question is for your OC least prone to falling in love.

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

"Actually anywhere. I am not an indoor person anyway."


Well, that was kinda short. He's not a person of words.

Renigee

Hey there, Renigeegold! This question is for your OC with the thinnest hair.

Q: How do they feel about memes? (He has no hair whatsoever, so that's pretty thin!)

A: "Memes are the best! They're so funny! Although I don't get why people call me a 'normie' just because I like troll faces and Pepes."

 m e r c y hallelujah

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


Q: What kind of video games do they enjoy?

First, I'm dying at the stipulation it chose for my OC :') 

Mercy would rather watch her boyfriend play video games while she bothers him, but she does occasionally play! She enjoys FPS and horror games, although her favorite is Mass Effect - a little homage to the game she was actually originally from before her complete re-design.

 Valentin Medveditsin Ledokol

Hey there,  Sashka! This question is for your tallest OC.

Q: How good are they at solving puzzles?



"Puzzles? That would depend on what kind of puzzle they are...I'm okay with those like chess(though I'm not the that great despite all the stereotype of Russians being chess wizards), mechanicals puzzles, cross word, hang man, jigsaws and spot the difference. Some of those that aren't mentioned earlier...like mathematical puzzles are beyond my ability."
