Your Daily OC Question! (Updated 10/29)

Posted 6 years, 10 months ago (Edited 3 years, 6 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!

bottom text so wysiwyg doesn't trap me in spoiler boxes forever

 Jarilo Ledokol

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

Q: Who are the people they trust the most?


           "My dad, without questions! And erm, I guess... Morena to some degree... when she's not in the 'angry mode' you know. She won't ever let other people harm me because... oh dang, the exception is her own father. Yeah, Dad and Morena... as long as she's not angry with me over... something. Or should I have a second thought and say just Dad? Knowing Morena though, she's going to use that against me saying I don't trust her because I'm having an affair again."

 Maughothim (Scarlett) BardicWerewolf

Hey there, BardicWerewolf! This question is for the OC who swears the most.

Q: How good are they at maintaining eye contact with others?

---

Scarlett tends to swear a lot, and doesn't really have a filter to begin with! Usually their behavior tends to evolve into name-calling, and then leads to a brawl. Despite their brash nature, they can struggle with maintaining eye contact with certain individuals. Mostly with those who exhibit strength much higher than their own, and usually long-term eye contact tends to be a challenge for dragons as well. 

Humans aren't too much of an issue, and while this can apply to other dragons, they tend to avoid any staring/contact the most with those who have been driven insane by the loss of their Bonded partner. The eyes, they would explain, tend to look dead while connected to the body of a living being. Too eerie; even for someone like them.


Aleena Yang Accela

This question is for your OC who loves T-shirts the most.


Q: What is their writing style like?

-----

well, she's not the best speller ever. she dots her Is with hearts, and writes in a quirky cursive kinda way

Zakka SapphireBatWings

Hey there, SapphireBatWings! This question is for your OC who's the worst at lying.

Q: Do they act the same around everyone, or do they change a lot around different groups of people?

Zakka is very apologetically herself 100% of the time lol.

 Esther Kaplan sixofswords

Hey there, sixofswords! This question is for your OC with the weakest magical powers.

Q: Can they take criticism well?


It's this girl, I think... And she can't really. Her parents have been very harsh on her, to the point that her wish to become a magical girl was just to win a single competition. Just the one. So she could feel like she was good.

Grimarye Rainbow000Pegasus

Hey there, Rainbow! This question is for your OC who's lived in the most places.
Grimarye. I won't specify why for this one.

Q: How do they feel at parties? How do they act?

"Parties? I don't engage myself in such trivial things."

Josie SapphireBatWings

Hey there, SapphireBatWings! This question is for your OC who likes bugs the most.

Q: Do they care more about lyrics, rhythm, or instrumentation when it comes to music?

Josie is part firefly so she likes bugs a good lot. In terms of music she cares more about the story the song tells, so the lyrics. But she enjoys a good banjo as well.

Lexlinn SapphireBatWings

Hey there, SapphireBatWings! This question is for that OC who never has any goals.

Q: What kinds of things do they enjoy learning about?

This is actually in her bio; Lexlinn likes learning about old literature and about different religions and such.

♡ Callie Evans P0CKETKNIFE

Hey there, P0CKETKNIFE ! This question is for your worst cook.

Q: What's their relationship with lying?


Lying is a necessary tool of self-preservation for Callie, given how often they land themselves in hot water, and they dont see an issue with it as long as it benefits them in the moment. It's a rather self-centered perspective, but as they see it: a lie is harmless as long as there are no long-term complications. It's also worth not getting socked in the jaw if they have the opportunity to worm their way out of it, so really it's not much of a moral dilemma for them.

Bellazhanna SapphireBatWings

Hey there, SapphireBatWings! This question is for your most elegant OC.

Q: How do they feel about their future?

Bellazhanna is surprisingly optimistic. She has a rough history but has found herself a stroke of luck. She feels like things can only go up from where she's at.

 Sidor Sukhoi Ledokol

Hey there,  Lеdokol ! This question is for your OC with the bluest color scheme.

Q: If they had to trade lives with someone they knew for one day, who would they pick?


           “Trade lives with someone I know?? You mean, like... shuffle my own inorganic brain into other’s body? Ah, well- that limits it to just my fellow androids then. Who to do it, who to do it hmmmmmm. I don’t think most of my fleet mates in Severomorsk want to... at least because they know the terror of how easy it is for me to ‘die’ just from falling into water. Though, I don’t doubt some of them definitely want to experience flying. Let’s see, supposed I can pick and anyone will say yes - my first choice might be my buddy Kosek. I mean... I just want him to rest for a day without being overworked by that darn lazy boss. But in the end, I have a feeling he’s going to continue carrying out tasks anyway - just with my body instead of his own!

          Next, could be my two best submarine buds - Tula and Voronezh. Tula might be okay with it... except it’s I who might not be okay with his younger brother sparring with him regularly and now I’m in Tula’s place for that! Kareliya is brutal as f***, especially when he’s in a bad mood. Voronezh... hmmmm. I hope Oryol will accept me staying in his bro’s body for a day. The biggest problem though, I’m afraid I’m going to fail Voronezh’s reputation of being the fleet’s favorite comedian. On a second thought, I better skip them for my friends’ sake.

          In conclusion, I’ll settle with Yura. The poor guy has been sad since he’s left alone in Murmansk with Sashka and Volodya moving to Far East. If we switch for a day... he can fly to Kamchatka to visit them, maybe? But since it’ll be his first time flying... I hope he won’t crash on landing. Yeah, the steep difference in speed is going to baffle Yura.”

Yume Rainbow000Pegasus

Hey there, Rainbow! This question is for your last OC if you ordered them all alphabetically.
In TH, that'd be Yume.

Q: How willing would they be to eat something unusual to them?

As someone who is roaming Earth from another dimension, everything is unusual to her, so she would be very likely, and willing, to eat them.
