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, SapphireBatWings! This question is for that OC who spends way too much money on MMO subscriptions.
Q: What does it take to fluster them?
Honestly, Pauly isn't flustered by much, she handles embarrassing situations very well. Maybe telling her that she is pretty or any other compliment really; she gets bullied so she isn't really used to that kind of thing.
Hey there, P0CKETKNIFE ! This question is for your most frequently-offending criminal.
Q: How are they at teaching others about things? Do they enjoy it?
Nathan isn't the type to offer his help unless someone explicitly asks for it, and even then he's never too eager to teach somebody else--whether it be a skill or knowlegde on a subject. Still, for the sake of being polite he'll offer what assistance he can, but is usually critical of the other person and wants to be done with it as soon as possible. The only exception to this is when he feels he can show off his own skill somewhere in the process. If that's the case, he'll gladly perform his talents for the other person, though whether or not they can learn from said demonstration is debatable.
Hey there, SapphireBatWings! This question is for your OC who likes country music the most.
Q: How do they feel about being touched? Is it different between partners, friends, family, and strangers?
Josie doesn't mind being touched at all. In fact she really enjoys hugs and physical contact. She's even fine with hugging strangers.
Hey there, Goldenqilin! This question is for your OC who loves high heels the most.
Q: How easily does jealousy come to them?
Well, Veronica's ego is so inflated, she rarely finds anything to get jealous about. Of course, she always strives to become better, but her aspirations are never based on what others have. Veronica also doesn't treat others poorly due to jealousy... she's quite capable of finding other reasons to justify beating someone up.
Hey there, Valentina! This question is for your OC who likes sweets the most.
Q: If they were in a band, what would they play or do?
This goat loves his sweets. And yeah he's in a band, as one of the two lead vocalists, one of the two bassists, and then keyboards when needed. He shares the role of vocalist and bassist with Vivienne, where they either change it up with who does what, or sometimes they say fuck it and both do bass and singing. And he's a ghost who can't die(like 4/5 of the band is ghosts) so like he can have pyrotechnics blast him directly and not be phased by it.
Not really capable of doing anything musically so I just imagine what they play, and well they also do cover Seikima II a lot, and other such bands, and just good jams in general. But yeah it's a good time, if I could figure out their name finally.
Hey there, Ледокол ! This question is for your OC who did the best in school.
Q: What will they probably be like 10 years in their future?
"Don't think there will be much difference from present to be frank. There are two options; either I'm still hounding the cursed Rybakov and the ungodly syndicate he got cozy with, or I'll be six feet under. Both are very much possible, considered... how laxing the security can still be sometime, and how rotten human nature presented among those supposed to work strictly for the government. Nothing probably changes in ten years time, only my physical age goes farther into 50s territory."
Hey there, faepaintings! This question is for your OC who always leaves a mess wherever they go.
Q: How likely are they to show mercy to someone who's wronged them that they now have the upper hand on?
Very unlikely. Aphelion even keeps punching if his opponent already lies on the floor. He also is very unforgiving and keeps his grudges against people for quite a long time just to have a reason to start a fight.
Hey there, Ледoкол! This question is for your OC with the most black color scheme.
Q: What would they be like as a Pokemon?
"..........."
"W-why are you asking such question to me?? Like, Sashka and Volodya are closer to Japan than me, they're supposed to find it easy to answer this? Ugh... how am I supposed to know? I don't even understand well what a 'Pokemon' is other than like, cartoony monsters or something? Just, how about- just let me list my personality and you can match me with one of them on your own because I'm absolutely clueless? Let's see, mostly black color scheme, quiet, peaceful, non-aggressive, use nuclear missiles for offensive tactic... okay, that's all I can think of. Good luck!"
Hey there, Vampiressilence! This question is for that OC who would cry if their balloon floated away.
Q: Are they willing to manipulate others? What if it's for an ultimately good cause?
"Manipulate others? I well... I don't like lying to people. That makes others upset. But... if the cause is justified... I guess? I.. I wouldn't be happy about it though."
Hey there, SapphireBatWings! This question is for your OC who needs the most additions to their coffee to enjoy it.
Q: How good are they at solving puzzles?
Hype is pretty decent at solving puzzles, though she doesn't always have the patience.
Hey there, Starfast! This question is for your OC who's the best with a sword.
Q: How do they feel about killing? Are there situations that would affect their opinion?
In short, he feels it's necessary in some situations but he also recognizes that it's bad and there's kind of a lot of factors that play into why he feels that way.
Basically, before he was disowned by his family Milo was a trained soldier and living in a kingdom that kind of glorifies there military quite a bit. So that's kind of where he gets the idea that it's not inherently bad. At the same time though, his father is both directly and indirectly responsible for a bunch of deaths and is basically just a really bad guy, and Milo has kind of seen how this has affected other people and he just doesn't want to be like his father. He kind of saves killing for people who, in his opinion, really deserve it. That way, he can kind of justify it and it doesn't seem as bad to him. He'd never kill an innocent person though, nor would he just kill for the sake of it.
