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, Euphie! This question is for your OC who loves black coffee.
Q: Are they always aware of their surroundings?
Nope! It's always about Mallory. She's a self centered person who only cares about steering the world into a right wing order, and doesn't consider those who don't envision her dream worthy of their presence being noticed. She doesn't really feel the need to be attentive of her surroundings and usually ends up paying for it dearly.
Hey there, Ranfun! This question is for your OC who's suffered the least.
Q: How do they cut their sandwiches, if at all? How many sections do they cut it into?
Lucius doesn't technically need to eat, but if he ~had~ to eat a sandwich, I feel like he'd try to cut it into 4 parts to eat it easily without getting messy.
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your fifth newest OC.
Q: If someone tried to rob them at gunpoint while they were alone, how would they proceed?
"I'd probably break their wrist...that, hopefully, seems to be reasonable enough for such situation. Not that the ridiculously weak human pistol can really do much damage to me anyway but meh...they need to be taught a lesson to be grateful that warfare androids like us are strictly prohibited from initiating physical confrontations with them. For a smack like humans normally inflict on each other, I can easily cause them death by breaking their neck or completely smash their skull in the same motion."
(((OoC - honestly I feel extremely sorry for whoever decided to rob him, not only he's strong, he's notorious for being prone to act aggressively even over the smallest thing)))
Hey there, GoatCandy! This question is for your OC whose hairstyle you wish you had.
Q: How do they feel about their birthday? Do they like birthday parties? Cake? Gifts?
A: He generally enjoys his birthday solely for the cake and company it brings. Blickfang hates being alone so he loves having an excuse for his buddies to get together and party. Gifts he's doesn't care about as much.
Hey there, Сашка! This question is for your OC who just orders take-out all the time.
Q: How do they feel about going to hospitals?
"I'd probably feel like...you know, those guys who dress up as ghosts working in the haunted house in amusement park. You know very well what you're doing is going to scare the heck out of other people. While I love pranks, pulling ones on medical personnel in hospital is likely too mean...they're certainly going to find the whole situation unexpected when the needle breaks as they try to get some blood sample from my arm. No, no--- tiny needle is no match for the steel which formed the structure of my arm under the artificial skin.
Anywayyyyyy, I have never visited hospitals before and never intend to. My kind of 'hospital' is the shipyards."
Hey there, ccelestialGlitch! This question is for your OC who makes the most puns.
Q: How would they fare in a zombie apocalypse?
--
I feel the oc that makes the most puns would probably be Orange, but I'll just use Piko since Orange is just an alter of hers.
Piko would not fare well. She's afraid of the zombies, is slow at running, doesn't like guns, and would refuse to use her extreme powers, therefore make her an easy target for zombies. She cares too much for others and would try to defend her lovers before herself.
(In Orange's case, it'd be worse because she'd joke nonstop and get everyone killed.)
Hey there, Rapphirica! This question is for your OC with the longest nails.
Q: Are they a "lol," "lmao," "rofl," "haha," "omfg," or "XD" kind of person? Or would they refuse to use any of those?
Well Karalee wears falsies sometimes so I guess she's up first!
Karalee is definitely a 'lol' and 'XD' sort of person, they just suit her personality most: short, sweet and giggly.
She doesn't swear much both in real life or in her texts so any cursing acronyms are ruled out. She's also the kind of person who wouldn't use 'rofl' because she doesn't like how it looks like a typo and doesn't sound like a real word. I like to imagine she'd also be a frequent user of emojis, namely these ones:
Hey there, Rapphirica! This question is for your OC who loves bows the most.
Q: How easily are they embarrassed?
Despite her femininity Karalee never wears bows, however Sylvester's a sucker for a good bow-tie. Guess it's his turn.
Sylvester is rather easily embarrassed, he's like a father being shown up at the mall by his four, irresponsibly, noisy kids.
Whenever Sylvester is embarrassed by something he'll sort of pretend he's not there anymore, like he's just disappeared, often retreating to his room or curling up in the recliner at home and burying his face so far in a book nobody can see him blushing green. When he isn't able to do that, he'll just quietly cringe and bare it.
Hey there, Rapphirica! This question is for your OC who makes the most puns.
Q: How do they feel about hotels?
Oh, Ali, my little nerdy boi, it's your turn.
Ali doesn't mind hotels as a concept, but the majority of Novian hotels are unbearably grimy and he's never had a pleasant experience in one.
Ali's stayed in a couple of hotels in his time whilst trying to find a more permanent place of residence in the big city of Novus, but they're just never that great. The first one had spots of mould growing off of every perceivable surface, the second had terrible room service and he ended up breaking the flimsy key-card to his room, and the third one he stayed in smelled very strongly of petrol, and there wasn't even a gas station in sight. Basically, if going to the effort of clearing out an old military bunker and revamping it all on your own is better than hotel-hopping, you know the situation is pretty darn bad.
That's all folks!
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your fastest OC.
Q: How protective are they over those they care about?
"Um...hum......I guess that'll be me." *turns away and yells to someone a distance away* "Sorry, Zhenya! I know it's true that you're the fastest among ships in our navy but the question doesn't mention 'fastest ship'. So...too bad I, as a fighter jet android, beat your 110 km/h with my 2300 km/h."
"As much as it may sound like bragging, I'm very protective of my friends and family. Ask my Boss, and I'm sure you're going to get an earful from him about what insubordinate subordinate I am for repeatedly verbally displeasing him about how he overworks my buddy on daily basis. Kosek himself is too nice and tsk...he finds pleasure in 'spoiling' our boss but I can see that many times those loads of additional tasks he was assigned to do because Kolya was being a lazy bum to take responsibility of his own duty tired Kosek out. Also, in combat situation, I'd rather protect Kosek than Kolya. Kolya has quite a few means to protect himself with Granit, Kashtan and Kinzhal...he doesn't need me to constantly protect him from enemy fighter jets."
Hey there, Sashka! This question is for your OC who writes the most.
Q: What's their relationship with alcohol?
"While I'm not a hardcore anti-alcohol or anything, I only drink at social gathering occasions. With my line of work being museum curator and amateur writer, being intoxicated at work is an absolute no-no. But still....my...eh, best friend slash wife...sometime drinks before she writes some of her eccentric philosophical article to... quote from what she said 'get a perspective of an intoxicate person'. I need to be the sober one and look after her in case she may drink a bit too much. Therefore, yes, there is definitely some alcohol in my place but I hardly touch those bottles myself."
Hey there, Euphie! This question is for your OC who loves skirts the most.
Q: Do they actively desire attention or would they rather not be looked at?
Donna: well, when I was a knee high to a grasshopper, I remember bein' a little social butterfly. In fact, I've always been able to mingle n' meet up with just about anyone...ain't it crazy? I say it is 'cause my mama said when she was pregnant with me she said she prayed for me to be a boy.
