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:

bottom text so wysiwyg doesn't trap me in spoiler boxes forever
Hey there, JJ! This question is for your unluckiest OC.
I think that would be James The Fox, due to his past RP relationships. Dont ask...
Q: Do they like giving their friends a hard time? How do they feel when their friends give them a hard time?
James shook his head, responding with a simple, "No."
Hey there, Rainbow! This question is for your OC with the best hygiene.
Best hygiene? Prim and proper Lily.
Q: What kind of driver are they?
She's a very careful driver and tries not to speed to much, even though she might be closing in to a certain time. Takes forever for her to park, but it always look great, especially when parallel parking, not that she does that much.
Hey there, Ledokol! This question is for your shortest OC.
Q: How complicated do they make their passwords?
(I have two 5'5 OCs but I'll go with Dyugur since his answer will be more interesting)
"Consider I have this calamity on two legs under my supervision.... it needs to be extremely complicated. This shameless guy has no problem trying to crack any password I have on computer system. Sometimes he's so blunt to the point he uses up the chances to reenter password, gets my account locked in process and just waits for me to find out so he'll get extra turns, you know."
Hey there, botnet! This question is for that OC who fervently insists dubs are better than subs.
Q: Are they interested in any sports at all, be it playing or watching?
"Sports is a.. weird concept to me. Sure, I'll watch it if someone else is, but I don't go out of my way to watch any.
Hey there, Ледокoл! This question is for your OC who paints the most.
Q: What kind of video games do they enjoy?
"...This question seems more fitting for Novi Sad cause... really, that kid plays games everyday from what I hear Petrovaradin complains. Whatever, since you're asking anyway--- and Nole isn't here(yet), I'm gonna go ahead and answer! My favorite genre is sports!! Especially if it's the type that involves lots of actions. Something like controlling the players in the game, you know? Ha, since I really, really like basketball, game like NBA 2K19 always gets me going! I will never turn down a chance to play it!!"
Hey there, Gar! This question is for your self-insert.
Q: How are they at cooking and baking?
Oh by self-insert do you mean my fursona? My Furry trash child? Lmao
Kris is like me in terms of cooking and baking: Passable, but nothing spectacular, and generally too tired, lazy, or busy to bother putting in real work. They usually just eat out, use their fire magic to quickly cook or heat their food up, or sometimes just straight up eat things raw because hey, cats eat raw meat and stuff all the time and it's more efficient than using their time and energy grilling a steak on their claws or something. It also helps that their companion doesn't have a truly corporeal form and doesn't need to eat.
Hey there, corn cob! This question is for your OC with the most freckles.
Q: What colors do they like?
afdjalfdjsak oooh this was really hard to decide which one had more freckles lmao... i have so many characters with freckles. i narrowed it down to Quil or Lhovi but between them god i really don't know lmao... i guess i can answer for both!
Quil likes cool colors, reminiscent of water, particularly the sea... a deep, jewel-tone emerald bluish is probably his absolute favorite, but any rich bluegreens or teals are sure to win him over.
Lhovi likes the pink-purple-blue range more than anything! she's particularly fond of pale blues, especially ones slightly toward purple, like a periwinkle sort of color. she also really loves iridescent things - stuff that flashes multiple colors and has a base color of blue/pink/purple is right up her alley. given this, it probably comes as no surprise that she loves moonstones.
Hey there, Rainbow! This question is for your OC who's the most insistent on living only in the present.
Neo. He believes that living in the "now" makes you live it the fullest and focused to the task at hand.
Q: How do they feel about formalwear? Do they like it or hate being stuck in it?
He's fine if the formal wear are kimonos, but he hates suits. Suits are terrible. Especially the tie.
Hey there, sanstheskeleton! This question is for your OC with the most physical stamina.
okay this was difficult because normally id say sylindia, even if her stats flunctuate a lot bc of.... things... but revenant's physical stamina is pretty consistent and her regenerative healing factor also makes her get tired slower. i cant remember the exact science behind that but i remember reading in a worldbuilding stackexchange thing that having a higher healing rate means you recover your stamina quicker or some such.
Q: What Western zodiac sign would they say fits them best? Which one actually fits them best?
aries, aries
... yeah i picked her birthday on purpose and just felt aries generally suited her best tbh. she'd make a decent leo or virgo as well though to be fair
Hey there, Ledokol ! This question is for your most religious OC.
Q: Do they like exercising/physical activity?
"Sure, when I can... though... I guess I'm only good at playing ice hockey. Ice skating is something I also do during winter when the the situation permitted. Not particular good at other sports... my friends still want me to join their team from time to time, so I'm not too out of shape it seems?"
Hey there, Storm! This question is for your OC with the most conservative outfits.
Q: Have they ever stolen anything?
Sassy would be closest to this, even though sometimes what she wears isn't conservative.
She's stolen a candy bar from a convenience store on a dare, and got away with it. However the nervousness and anxiety over being caught cemented to her that she'd never do it again. As for the candy bar...she never got a chance to eat it. She gave it to the one who dared her because she couldn't stomach eating it.
Hey there, ThatOneWow! This question is for your OC who's the least affected by the sight of gore.
Dixie's an assassin, and a good one at that, so I guess she's the least bother by blood and gore...
Q: Do they prefer snacks or meals?
I think she would prefer snacks, as they are quicker to eat and (in her opinion) tastier!
