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, Iso! This question is for the OC you have the most art of.
Q: Do they like taking the scenic route, or do they always want to get to places as quickly as possible?
Looks like that's Dicro! By quite a bit, actually. He's the kind of guy who likes the scenic route; he loves exploring and getting lost in the world around him, so if he has the time to dilly-dally then he absolutely will!
Hey there, Anatola! This question is for your OC who wants to move out to the countryside.
Q: How easily are they embarrassed?
Seeing this prompt made me immediately think of Adrian, since his family lives in the city but would always visit a country home during the summer. He'd probably be much happier if they moved out to that home permanently.
I would say that Adrian is not typically embarrassed easily. He's got a very firm confidence in himself, and he usually takes his missteps and failures in stride, so things don't really get him down that easily or for long if they do at all. And even though he wouldn't say he's "funny" in any sense, he has a pretty good sense of humor and knows what things in his life he shouldn't take too seriously, which includes himself.
Probably one of the only things that would very easily embarrass him is feeling physically exposed in any capacity. He doesn't like his own skin being open to the elements most of the time and almost always covers his arms and legs with long sleeves and pants. He's not embarrassed by how his body looks at all, but he does get very uncomfortable if he doesn't feel covered due to feeling vulnerable to the elements or to spirits around him, or if he makes skin contact with anyone else unintentionally. He considers physical contact to be very intimate and personal, even simple things like touching hands or the like, so he likes to have a lot of control over what he comes into contact with, which is easier to do when his body remains mostly covered. He would get embarrassed very easily if his clothing was compromised in any capacity beyond something very minor. Like, in his normal outfit, the tear at the end of his sleeve doesn't bother him because it's already close to his hand, but if he got a random hole in the middle of his sleeve he'd get very embarrassed and antsy.
This question is for a fan-character.
Q: What would they do for a Klondike bar?
---
Oh boy, Somnia does love sweets! Especially ice cream! In fact, it adds perks to her dream magic. You could get her to do all sorts of weird things for a Klondike bar... just as long as it isn't dangerous. Embarrassing, maybe. She'd feel silly afterwards, but hey, she got a free Klondike bar, so all is well.
Hey there, Starfast! This question is for your OC whose birthday is closest to yours.
Q: How do they feel about terrifying, otherworldly monsters?
Terrifying otherworldly monsters don't exactly exist in his universe, unless you want to count like, cryptids or aliens that may or may not be real. He thinks they're neat in fiction but it's not something that he's hugely into. As far as cryptids and aliens go, he's a bit of skeptic.
Hey there, Anatola! This question is for your OC who sleeps with the most blankets.
Q: Are they a personal space invader? How do they feel about others invading their personal space?
Conner definitely sleeps with the most blankets... poor boy just doesn't deal with the cold that well.
Conner is typically not a personal space invader when it comes to people he doesn't know. He's not averse to touch or anything, but he'll remain a respectful distance away unless the situation is just supposed to be closer or intimate. For the most part he's not too bothered with people occasionally getting into his personal space as long as they are either already close with him and well trusted or if they are strangers or acquaintances, then they don't overstay their welcome or make things weird/uncomfortable. Those close with him on a personal level will know that he's pretty touchy-feely and cuddly toward his friends and family though, so in that sense he's a little bit of a personal space invader if there's already a bond established.
Hey there, Lеdоkol! This question is for your most flexible OC.
Q: Do they get plain bandages or bandages with characters/patterns on them?
(((Just when I was thinking I wanna use Igor for this thread. This condition fits him the most since he's practicing ballet thus is the only OC who can do both horizontal and vertical splits)))
"GIMME ALL THE PATTERN ONES!!! Of course who likes the plain one? It's super boring! I'm going to need lots of them for how many accidents I suffer each day because of my terrible luck!"
Hey there, wings! This question is for your OC with the greenest color scheme.
Q: Do they prefer liquid glue or glue sticks?
"liquid glue tastes better, also they dont make glitter glue sticks xD"
This question is for your poorest OC.
Q: What's their favorite number?
Huh... I never thought of that, actually! Somehow, I think four would be Ceithan's favorite number. He likes the color green, so like, four leafed clovers? Four legged frogs? It's a small number to keep things simple, but also a nice even number that's associated with luck. Seems fitting for him!
Hey there, Anatola! This question is for your nerdiest OC.
Q: What's their relationship with romance?
I thought of Jeremy first, but I think Tabitha might be nerdier in some ways. Fortunately they are kind of in a romantic relationship, so the question can apply to both of them regardless.
Since they’re both still pretty young at 14 years old, they’re not too deep or complicated about the romance they have. They consider each other to be best friends and tend to act like that rather than boyfriend/girlfriend in the traditional sense, but they definitely see each other as “together” and aren’t uncomfortable about other generalizing their relationship to them being a romantic couple. They tend to call each other endearing (and sometimes strange) pet names and will back up each other on pretty much everything, in real life and in all the games they play. They haven’t thought too far ahead in terms of more serious romance yet, but they enjoy being together.
Hey there, Akeya! This question is for your OC who takes the most online quizzes.
Q: If they were blamed for something minor that they didn't do, would they accept it or fight back?
Akemi has been blamed for a lot already, but she usually shrugs it off and doesn't much care for what people think about what she does. She'll just accept it and keep silent while every around her can think whatever of her.
This question is for your OC with the longest full name.
Q: How easy is it to get them out of bed in the morning?
Uh... Dauraneva's name has four syllables, so I guess I'll use her!
Dauraneva is a goddess, so she never really sleeps. She doesn't need to. However, she is the Goddess of Shadows, so she's definitely more active during the night. She doesn't have much energy in the morning, since she's just used a lot of it for her nightly duties, so you could say that if she DID sleep, she'd have a hard time getting up in the morning, haha. She does much better at night.
Hey there, Lеdоkol! This question is for your OC who cracks the most jokes.
Q: How are they at cooking and baking?
*points at his uniform* "You don't...confuse my white naval officer uniform for a chef uniform, do you?? Meh, despite I was born in the imperial capital of Russia...no, they didn't teach me any culinary skill fitting to serve royalties, not even general public! I don't know, man. I never really care about cooking. I guess if I need to describe the level I'm confident I really qualify for. then it's 'contact me if you need authentic food poisoning to skip work and stay in hospital'. Something like that?"
Hey there, Discordia! This question is for your OC with the most unique powers.
Q: Do they prefer liquid soap or bar soap?
So uhh- I literally don’t think I ever thought of this. After some pondering I suppose liquid soap- it comes in a bottle and doesn’t need a holder or make a sticky mess. HAH
This question is for your OC who's the best dessert chef.
Q: What are their favorite animals?
Amber loves goats!
