Hey there, Renigee! This question is for your pickiest OC.
Q: Do they have any interest in marriage? What would their wedding be like?
"I definitely want to get married at some point. I'd imagine it to have pale, warm colors, with plenty of flowers"
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:
- 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 with the quietest speaking voice.
Q: How organized are they?
"I...Um....." *looks to Sashka for a support but finds that his older brother makes a gesture telling him to try handling this on his own*
"Not...not very much, I suppose? I'm trying to learn from Sashka and...the older colleagues. Sashka is much more organized and better prepared than me in most situations. He's absolutely reliable....erm...and......I hope one day I can be as organized as him."
Hey there, Alucard! This question is for your OC who's the worst at lying.
Q: Do they get plain bandages or bandages with characters/patterns on them?
"Wow... That was a p-perfect set of questions w-wasn't i-it? I get either b-but I like p-patterned ones best. Th-they're cute!"
Hey there, wanco! This question is for your OC with the most beautiful handwriting.
Q: Are they good at reading and understanding others?
Damien may not look like it, but he was often approached by his students for advice back then as a human. He may be some harsh teacher who says really bunt things to his students while slapping them with a literal live tuna, he's good at helping others. It was because he does everything for the ones he love, he would sometimes go as far as skipping meals. This dilemma of his caused his wife to file a divorce with him, and his reverse evolution.
He's only good at advising others. If he was so good at reading and understanding, he has remained a human and his family was still alive.
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your OC who hates anime the most.
Q: What's their favorite shape?
"The last time I was here it was about patterns, this time it's a shape? Do I really look like someone who loves art to you? Fine...I'll entertain you. I guess it will be cylinder because that's the shape my main gun calibers and missiles are in. They're something I heavily rely on to complete my job and survive a battle...what? Do you think a warfare android really cares much about artistic aesthetic? We're not built to do ballet in Mariinskiy or Bolchoi!"
(((Good grief, Boryushka, overall your retort is far longer than the actual answer itself...)))
Hey there, Starfast! This question is for your OC who thinks putting pineapples on pizza is blasphemy.
Q: What kind of person do they hope the general population sees them as?
Andor is a pretty laidback guy and he generally doesn't really care about how other people see him. I guess, if anything, he just wouldn't want anyone to have any negative judgements towards him since he is a pretty good person for the most part.
Hey there, PIKMANZ! This question is for your OC who likes the beach the most.
Q: What will they probably be like 10 years in their future?
Hmmm....I have no clue who likes the beach the most, but Runa likes rivers and lakes. CLOSE ENOUGH.
In SV Timeline, he would be exactly the same. He's used to time progressing fast. (A day for us in our universe/world is a year for people in the Starverse. uwu)
And in RP Timeline...oh jeez. Doubt I'll still be using him for that long or everyone I rp with to still be around on the internet to rp with me or any time skips will happen. XD (RP Timeline is just an au I made for rps on Pikmin Amino. It's basically shipping hell for Runa atm. XD)
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your OC who loves the desert the most.
Q: Do they prefer liquid soap or bar soap?
"...I think you ask this question to a very wrong 'person'. Well, I do love desert...or, at least what I have seen photos from National Geographic magazines that is. The colors are fascinating, it's nothing like arctic tundra I see everyday in my job. All those shade of browns, yellows and oranges...so beautiful. The only curse is why such places have to be in the climate regions that I can't travel to? Either they're in land, or they're in tropical area which will instantly kill my reactor because of the heat, ugh....
Oh, wait! I forgot you didn't ask me why I like desert! My bad, what is the question again? Liquid soap or bar soap? Erm...I hardly ever take a bath to be honest since I'm an android who is forever stuck in arctic area. Now don't make a disgusted face, I swear I'm not stink! Let me jog my memories a bit...I'm pretty sure I've washed my hands with those like ordinary humans before...uh, bar soap it is! Liquid soap is kind of sticky and remind me of some weird chemical substance that i just...prefer not to have any contact to it."
