Hey there, Renigeegold! This question is for your best soccer player.
Q: What would they do for a Klondike bar?
A: "I'd probably go to the extent of robbing a store for one. Let's just hope it doesn't come to that"
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 takes care of their things the best.
Q: Do they treat friends/allies differently when they're sick? Do they help take care of them?
"Admittedly, yes I do. Although with us being artificial creations instead of being actual humans, we don't exactly fall sick but more like, various problems which require repair or modernization. Under normal circumstance if we're without tasks and staying in the base, they can mostly look after themselves or have someone assigned to take care of them. However, the real trouble is if someone suffers an accident during mission..........I just...I can't maintain my ignorance and be too optimistic again. I need to make sure that they're being cared for, no matter at what cost."
Hey there, Renigeegold! This question is for your OC who can only watch things if they're binge-watching.
Q: Is there anyone they tend to treat drastically different than they normally treat others?
A: "Yes. I hate Mateo's guts. I hate him. He messed up my life and knows it."
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your best baseball player.
Q: Does uncertainty stress them out, or do they just go with the flow?
(((pretty much none of my OC ever played baseball O_O;;; I believe Hrvoje would have the highest hope though normally he's sucked at team sport ROFL)))
"I'd say it does stress me quite a lot especially if it concerns the safety of someone close to me. I'm an ISFJ you know, I prefer to know that my important persons will be certainly safe no matter what they do or where they are. If that uncertainty concerns with just myself...whatever. throw it at me, Getting too comfortable to certain situation is just the right way to lead to suffering from a downfall harder than it should be. I'm not repeating my mistake again."
Hey there, Hallelujah! This question is for your OC who likes jazz the most.
Q: Does uncertainty stress them out, or do they just go with the flow?
Hmm. A little of both? It definitely stresses Liv out, but she performs best when she's stressed. And her face is a brick wall, she rarely lets any emotion get through, anyway.
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your OC who's the most open to trying new things.
Q: What do they want most when they're in a bad mood? How could they be cheered up?
*gives out a menacing, suspicious laugh while rubbing his hands with his subordinates groaning in the background*
"Of course that means "Davay! Ditch the work and have fun time!", just my favorite part in being in navy! I'll simply round up my subordinates to do something for fun...like singing karaoke, starting a boxing competition within the Northern Fleet or have my submarines dance Yablochko! The more out of ordinary things that they normally won't do, the better! Of course secretly 'sabotage' the arresting cables so Chilo would dive head first into water is always my choice of prank. Hmmm...now I think about it, I know my submarines guys can stay for an extended period underwater, how well would they fare if I set up a diving competition for them, you know like in the Olympics! I have never thought about that before. It should be really interesting!" *merrily adds the idea into his list*
(((so basically, he's this type of boss who really likes to have fun at his subordinates' expense. Still he mostly makes sure that his fun ideas don't harm them gravely.)))
Hey there, Renigee! This question is for your most nihilistic OC.
Q: What's the worst injury they've ever suffered?
"Ehh, when I was a kid, I used to like having adventures with my friends, right? If I try, I might be able to remember their names... Scott and Talia? Wonder where they've gone in life. Heh heh. Anyway, we were trying to move this slab of concrete, about the size of a piece of sidewalk...But we dropped it on my lower leg, and it broke real bad. I had to sit in a fucking wheelchair for a month and then use crutches for five. That was a real waste of time."
Hey there, ｕｃｈｕｕｊｉｎｗａｎｃｏ! This question is for your OC who likes mysteries the most.
Q: Do they prefer snacks or meals?
"What an odd question to ask, but it causes no harm to at least answer." He sighed, looking somewhat proud. "Let me tell you, meals are always a priority. Snacks are good, especially seaweed. However, I prefer meals since I need to watch over my health."
"If you're going to ask what kind of meals I prefer, I like dishes with tuna or mackerel in it."
Hey there, Borbbuu! This question is for an OC who's essentially a background character.
Q: How are they at teaching others about things? Do they enjoy it?
H e ck well, he's definitely not a GREAT teacher, as he's personally prone to making lots of mistakes easily himself. But when put in charge of showing someone the ropes, he'd definitely be patient with both himself, and his pupil. I'm sure That he would be happy to pass on what he knows the best he can.
Hey there, Kirbygal ! This question is for your OC who writes the most.
Q: How do they feel about being touched? Is it different between partners, friends, family, and strangers?
"I'd rather not be touched by anyone or anything. From people I know well, however, I wouldn't mind a tap or a clasp on the shoulder. Spontaneous hugs are a no though, unless I can have a very high tolerance for that person. >_> "
Hey there, Shay! This question is for your OC who's been to the most worlds and/or universes.
Q: How likely are they to show mercy to someone who's wronged them that they now have the upper hand on?
Radix: No mercy at all for anybody. He will kill without reason, so when you give him a reason... well.
