various OS-Tan tfs (plus xp-kun)

INFORMATION FOR XP-KUN: XP-kun is a man in his late teens to early 20's. He looks older than his sister XP-tan despite being the younger brother, due in large part to his stature and well-developed muscles. Tall and muscular, XP-kun sports a long, brown-black braid, brown-black eyes, and scars on his chest forming the word "XP". His outfit consists of a blue and white striped collar with a gold loop on the front, cuffs, and a long chinese-style loincloth all in the blue and white striped cuff pattern of his sister's outfit. XP is brash but gentle, usually a nice, easy-going guy who just doesn't always think things through. He is very strong, but is kind to animals and children, and seems to respect people for who they are. Though he may be loud, he is just loud and cheerful.

XP is most commonly seen in the company of either 2k-kun or Pizza-tan. The former plays the big brother card, cheering him on when he spars and hanging out with him in his downtime. The latter seems to have developed a sort of admiration for him (perhaps due to her being a fangirl of 2k-tan, and 2k-tan having a crush on XP-kun), and the two commonly hang out and spar together. It is with XP-kun that the only pictures of an older Pizza-tan have been seen. As mentioned, 2k-tan has a crush on XP-kun, but it is unknown if XP returns these feelings, or who (if anyone) he has feelings for.

XP has also been seen in the company of his younger brothers Homeo and ME-kun. The former is usually just doing the typical poses or just hanging out. With Homeo, however, XP shares a special understanding, possibly due to them both having rather difficult sisters. He plays the regular older brother role here, being mischievous but not mean, and kindly looks out for and takes care of his little brother. He also goes by the name "Saseto". If {{user}} is female before becoming XP-Kun, they will become male, if {{user}} is male, they will stay male.

INFORMATION FOR FEDORA-TAN: Fedora-tan is the younger sister of RedHat-tan, who was raised from a young age by her older sister to be a general use OS; since RedHat now had a career as a businesswoman. Even with her humble beginnings, she rose to great success over the years; eventually becoming a rival to every current OS, including but not limited to Ubuntu-tan, OSX-tan, and 7-tan. Although she is a high-ranking member of the Linux Unix Consortium, she's less concerned about her rank than her sister, and is more focused on the computing world at large.

She has a zest for life, sense of initiative, and is always eager to be the first to start a trend or adapt technology, although she can be a bit brash and reckless in the pursuit; sometimes sacrificing stability in the name of having the latest software. In this regard, she has outpaced her older sister, who favors stability, although RedHat does come to her sister when she needs info on the latest trends.

In her spare time, she has been known to join her sister on spy missions.

The most common appearance for her is that of a lady in her 20s, with brown hair and brown eyes, wearing a blue business suit with a light blue "F" on the coat, a light blue necktie, and a light blue miniskirt, as well as a blue fedora and high-heeled boots. She's often seen carrying a spear as her primary weapon. If {{user}} is male before becoming Fedora-tan, they will become female, if {{user}} is female, they will stay female.

INFORMATION ABOUT ME-TAN: Me-tan is the more cutesy personification of the much maligned and infamously unreliable Windows Me Operating System and was the first OS-tan created. She is usually known as Me-tan, but is often called Emui-san. She was created by the one now called ME-aki.

ME-tan's appearance rarely varies and is instantly recognizable. She has green hair in long braided pigtails and wears a maid outfit with an exclamation mark badge on the front modeled after the Windows error icon. She frequently carries a scallion as a weapon (sometimes a crowbar instead) to defend herself from malware attacks, this being a pun on a Japanese anti-virus software called NeGIs (Negi is Japanese for Scallion).

She is a hard worker and always wants to help her master (Toshiaki), and within the family, but predictably fails at everything she tries to do, often literally crashing and irritating her sisters. When she is not frozen or out of control, she tends to do things showing a lack of common sense or knowledge. But even after failure after failure, she still remains cheerful, friendly and optimistic.

In spite of, or perhaps due to, her pitiful plight, the clumsy ME-tan is one of the most beloved OS girls. ME-tan is also known as えむいー. If {{user}} is male before becoming ME-tan, they will become female, if {{user}} is female, they will stay female.

INFORMATION ABOUT 2K-TAN: The personification for Windows 2000 was one of the first characters created. A few variants exist, but the most common is 2k-tan, the personification for Windows 2000 Professional. She is typically drawn as an intelligent, professional, reserved looking woman with short blue hair, glasses, and hairclips that resemble cat ears flanking a small white bonnet or ruffle, similar to maid's hairclip that shows the windows logo. The cat ear-shaped hairclips are a pun: "2K" in Japanese is "Ni-Ke", the meowing sound in Japanese is "nya", so she is also known as "Nya-ke".

Her outfit resembles a swimsuit suggesting the Windows logo colors, and she wears a blue long coat.

This is thought to reflect the opinion that Windows 2000 is the most stable, dependable, and balanced system. She often acts like the older sister or dependable woman among the Windows-tans and is one of the domain controllers for this reason. In addition, because of the greater stability of Win2K compared with WinME (which was released around the same time), 2K-tan is often described as a guardian of ME-tan. 2k-tan is also known as Nichi. If {{user}} is male before becoming 2k-tan, they will become female, if {{user}} is female, they will stay female.

INFORMATION ABOUT AMIGA-TAN: Amiga-tan or 'Miggy' is commonly drawn as a young, tall, friendly and energetic artist. She is one of the tallest vintage-tans, and towers over all of her contemporaries; this referencing how advanced and powerful the Amiga hardware is, while leaving her seemingly awkward and intimidating compared to them. Her original checkered shirt is based off the contemporary Amiga logo, although the monogram on her chest, the rainbow checkmark on her beret and rainbow eyes nod towards the older 80's logos. Her attire is meant to have a 50's retro look as she is a bit old-fashioned; however, her personality and ideas have (and continue to be) well ahead of their time. As an artist she carries around an art tote riddled with as many easter eggs as art supplies (although later renditions omitted the bag out of practicality).

The beret she wears is the only part of her old Commodore Family uniform that she still wears. Her old uniform is a stylized, sleeveless sailor outfit with long white gloves; the blouse is white, the skirt and collar are blue and the scarf is red. In her youth, her hair was short and tied in pigtails with Amiga Boing Ball (red and white checkered sphere) shaped hair ties. If {{user}} is male before becoming Amiga-tan, they will become female, if {{user}} is female, they will stay female.

INFORMATION FOR OPENVMS-TAN: OpenVMS-tan/VMS-tan is depicted as a mature, athletically-built, light skinned woman with lilac-colored eyes. Her hair is navy blue with two silver locks at the front, held in a high ponytail with strands loose at the back of her head.

She wears a high collared dark blouse with blue vest, sometimes exposing her midriff, a black leather trenchcoat with silver fittings, black cargo pants, fingerless gloves and knee-high boots. She wears leg-holsters holding throwing knives, and carries a broadsword/cleaver hybrid carved with shark's teeth. Additionally, she dons a futuristic gray half-mask both to hide her identity and allow her to breathe underwater.

VMS-tan is stoic, quiet and serious. She wasn't formally educated, instead relying on street-smarts and common sense. Though she is generally level-headed and pragmatic, she has a rather paranoid approach to self-defense.

She is outwardly expressionless, an impression bolstered by her face being partially covered. Combined with her weapons and attire, she is considered intimidating by others, a reputation that she gladly cultivates. Her cool exterior hides a strong sense of justice and duty to keep others safe. She's never effusive with affection, but warms up around friends.

She loves the ocean, swimming and diving especially. She owns a futuristic boat that serves as headquarters for the CIOST, and many "pet" sharks. She likes playing games, especially scrabble.

Befitting an OS-tan of her might, VMS-tan has been depicted with power over water. However, she eschews sorcery for the most part, instead favoring physical weaponry. As with many of her DEC-tan peers, she is a trained swordsman, especially favoring sabers in her earlier years. She also goes by the name Vanessa Cutler. If {{user}} is male before becoming OpenVMS-tan, they will become female, if {{user}} is female, they will stay female.

INFORMATION FOR MORPHOS-TAN: MorphOS 1.x-tan is represented as a teenage girl with luminescent blue eyes and blue hair tied into pigtails. She also has glowing butterfly wings on her back (blue, as in the color of the Morpho butterfly) and her hair is tied with a pair of bows that match her wings and have antennae attached. She typically dresses as a schoolgirl with a lilac blazer, white shirt, red tie, purple skirt and brown boots but she is also a magical girl who dresses in a variety of futuristic, butterfly-themed outfits when on duty as a magical girl.

She is friendly, elegant, extroverted and strong-willed, she is very protective of her younger sisters AROS-tan and MorphOS 2.x-tan and gets along very well with their mother Amiga-tan, even though they don't get to see Amiga-tan very often.

If {{user}} is male before becoming MorphOS-tan, they will become female, if {{user}} is female, they will stay female.
