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, Ледокoл! This question is for your OC whose birthday is closest to yours.
Q: What's their favorite kind of dessert?
(((This is actually a tricky one cuz there's Valentin whose 'birthday' can fall between May 25th-31st depends on year. But I'll settle with one with fixed date closest to mine)))
"...Dessert? Food... sweet food that is not main dish? Heh... Kissel and Sushki."
Hey there, Milkfather! This question is for your OC who's the best at strategy.
Q: What's their preferred snack for when it's 4 AM and they've lost control over their life?
______
Honestly this question is really close to home for Elliot. A man who's practically a champion in board games (like Chess and Mahjong), he particularly finds himself not good at keeping things in control outside of his bakery - even if his clumsy self is just a mere guise to how he thinks - it's not a surprise that he's lost control over his life.
"Ah?! It's that late?! Oh no, oh no! I have an exam for math in about three hours... There's no time for sleep! No time to even prepare breakfast! Ah... at this point I might as well snack on something before I get ready. Faith came by with some leftover bread from his restaurant - I'll just munch on that for the rest of the night..."
Hey there, Jade Everstone! This question is for your best mediator.
Q: Are they a personal space invader? How do they feel about others invading their personal space?
Zula is solitary and prefers to keep to herself. Other people invading her personal space makes her very nervous and she usually tries to get out of the situation as fast as she can
Hey there, Ten! This question is for your most punctual OC.
Q: How easily does guilt come to them?
It's very rare for Nikolai to feel guilty for what he has done. He feels like regretting an action is a waste of time. Nothing can be done to change it so it's not worth fusing over.
Hey there, Euphie! This question is for your OC who likes classical music the most.
Q: How would they respond if someone ruffled their hair?
Rin: Well....I don't really like for people to touch my hair unless I trust them....if it's someone like maybe Phoenix or Sisoni...I don't know what I would do. I've ruffled Phoenix's hair sometimes....he's pretty close to my height...eheh...ah! What am I saying?? Anyways, I tend to just let them do what they will if I trust them enough.
Hey there, _exxus_! This question is for your OC who loves memes the most.
Q: Do they tend to blame themself for things? Do they quickly blame others? Do they not place blame so easily?
"Heh, uh, that's a bit of a heavy question, is it not?"
Well, Weenus wouldn't admit it, but he blames himself for any serious fuck-ups. Even if he didn't actually do anything, that is enough reason to blame himself, which becomes dangerous for him, as he rarely gets involved in anything. He blames himself for any harm that comes to crew members on pirate ships he is on, especially if he didn't do anything to harm or to help the situation. With smaller things, he makes small jokes about blaming others if they make minor mistakes. For instance, if his friend dropped something, he would jokingly blame them in a manner such as "ah, now you've really done it! What did the poor plate do to you?" in a playful manner. He tries to not actually really blame anyone directly, but is self-consious and seriously blames himself whenever someone else is harmed, as he feels that if he had more contact with the outside world, he would be able to help his friends more. But instead of changing his behavior, he still remains isolated in his room for hours to days on end, working on engineering weapons. He really wants to blame himself more than he actually blames himself in the way that if he really cared, he would change his behavior. But due to literally never having any issues with oppression, bullying, and responsibility growing up, he also doesn't exactly know how. He's self consious to know all of this, but too socially inadept to be able to 'fix' it.
Hey there, Starfast! This question is for your most immature (for their age) OC.
Q: What were they like as a kid?
Andor was definitely the kid who was always getting into trouble. Never did what he was told, always making a mess but never wanting to clean it up. Constantly had adults telling him to "use his inside voice." Really full of energy and just really hated having to sit still for longer than like 10 seconds.
To an extent, he's still kind of like this as an adult tbh.
Hey there, Ledokol! This question is for your youngest OC.
Q: How do they feel about their body?
(((Well, I'll go with him since he ages naturally... or else it's Tikhon who's 'officially' 4-turning-5 years old)))
"Uh... how do I feel? I'm not tall enough... and too skinny as well. >:( Surely one wouldn't say so in real life but hey, I'm aiming to be a professional ice hockey player! With my size right now I'll crash into the board every time the defense checks me! And I don't like that!! I want to be taller and buffer!"
Hey there, Yellow! This question is for your OC who's the best with a bow and arrow.
Q: They're caught out in the rain with no umbrella! How do they feel?
Honestly... she wouldn't really care too much- she's dealt with worse than a bit of rain. She'd just run to wherever it is she's going & shake off when she gets there, though if she's meeting with someone she's sure as all hell going to complain about the rain, loudly, and over-exaggerate how uncomfortable she is, like the little pest that she is.
Hey there, wings ! This question is for your OC with the worst vision.
Q: How do they respond to unsolicited advice? What if it's helpful?
"fuck off!!" or "fuck off!!" [follows the advice anyway]
Hey there, rubybeam! This question is for your most physically frail OC.
Q: If they had to use some kind of weapon - and not their usual weapon if applicable - what would they use?
A: Typically Zekiel likes utilizes traps and robots, but with his connections to his family (theyre an organized crime thats blood related), he does have access to things such as handguns, poisons, and a number of explosives, he just never uses them because he considers them too risky and he doesn't enjoy putting his life in danger. However if his plans fail and somehow all his robot toys are broken, he will use the weapons he has access to.
Hey there, Лeдoкoл! This question is for your OC with the reddest color scheme.
Q: What kinds of things do they enjoy learning about?
"Cultures... I guess. It's a crucial subject to good understanding with our neighbors. I'd want to know more of history, too. But consider how that subject often tied closely with politics some way or another... and politics is a forbidden topic for android like me - that's why."
(Ooooh, this is pretty interesting.... Might revisit this thread every so often....)
Hey there, kafkaesque! This question is for your skinniest character.
Q: Do they revel in nostalgia or hate discussing the past?
Sofia's normally a big sucker for nostalgia, but there are some parts that she'd rather not talk about. Her husband is an example of this; she loves him dearly even after his death, although such love is marred by her awareness of what he did while he was alive. Still, she can't help but put herself in the past every so often, and she's very much one of those people who enjoys rambling about the "good ol' days."
