Over the past few months(?) my main project for this account had been on a hiatus as I lost motivation to work on it... until now. That one is my tech gijinka one.

When I first started over I started hosting every character page and such on my github pages site as it seemed good at the time. Having to format everything in HTML turned out to be a pain that I ended up putting it on a hiatus.

This went on and on until a few weeks ago I was looking over at a friend's project and remembered my old wiki for the older version of my project. I wondered to myself if I would have been more productive if I brought it back so well... yeah.

The Mainframe is back in a actual proper wiki form. Every page has been transferred over from the old one hosted on my site with some extras added because of new ideas.

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of Odyssey-tan, a rare character representing the canceled Windows Odyssey. Though she’s not as widely drawn as other OS-tans she is seen in artworks alongside friends like Windows 97, Moseko, and Neptune.

Her first appearance remains unknown

Artwork of Windows Odyssey-tan, an anthropomorphized representation of the Windows Odyssey operating system. The character is dressed in a futuristic outfit with a predominantly blue and white color scheme, featuring geometric patterns and technological motifs. The character wears a long coat with a high collar, an orange tie, and thigh-high boots with intricate designs and glasses

A comic featuring two characters, Windows Odyssey-tan and Windows 2000-tan. Windows Odyssey-tan is depicted in color on the right side, wearing a blue and white outfit with red headband and a yellow disk. She has blue hair and glasses. Windows 2000-tan is shown in the comic panels on the left side, wearing a similar outfit and glasses. The comic panels show a conversation between the two characters. Windows Odyssey-tan praises Windows 2000-tan for her work, but Windows 2000-tan responds with a resigned expression, mentioning that she will soon be obsolete

A colorful illustration featuring five anime-style characters, each representing different versions of the Windows operating system. The background is divided into four colored sections: green, red, blue, and orange.

The character in the top left, Neptune-tan, has teal hair, wears a visor, and has a futuristic appearance. The character in the bottom left, Odyssey-tan, has blue hair, a halo, and a clerical outfit. The character in the bottom right, Moseko (Windows MCE), has blonde hair, cat ears, and glasses. The character in the top right, one of the XP-kun, has red hair and an angry expression. Next to XP-kun, Windows 97-tan is depicted with brown hair styled in two braids

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of Neptune-tan, a OS-tan of Windows Neptune, the canceled Windows version. Neptune-tan is often depicted as a strong and fierce character, sometimes shown wielding large weapons and surrounded by friends like Windows 97, Odyssey, Moseko, and various designs of Longhorn.

She wears a black, sleeveless qipao with blue accents and red bracelets, a red talisman is on her collar and she has mechanical headpieces that give her a slightly futuristic vibe. Her long, green pigtails are usually accompanied by a red visor which has become one of her most recognisable features.

Several of her artworks were created by an artist known as イオンのバイド (Ion no Baido) on Pixiv such as the first image shown, though it’s believed they did not originate her concept due to differing art styles.

An artistic depiction of Windows Neptune-tan, a personified version of the Windows Neptune operating system that never released. The character has long green hair styled into twin tails, cat-like ears, and is wearing a futuristic outfit with a black and blue color scheme, accented with red and yellow. She is reaching out to a large, ornate staff with a blue and gold design, standing in water with a cloudy sky in the background

A detailed character sketch of Neptune-tan, featuring annotations in Japanese that describe various parts of the character's design. Neptune-tan has long hair tied into two large pigtails and is wearing a long dress with a high collar. The sketch includes notes pointing to specific elements of the character's appearance

Two color palette designs for Neptune-tan. Both designs feature her with long green hair, wearing a black dress with colored accents and accessories. The left design has yellow and blue accents, while the right design has blue, red and green accents. The character also has red wristbands, a belt with pouches, and grey shoes

Ten different color palette proposals for Neptune-tan. Each proposal is labeled with a number from 1 to 10. The character, Neptune-tan, has long hair and is dressed in a long gown with boots and gloves. The color of her hair, dress, and accessories varies in each proposal, showcasing combinations of colors such as purple, green, orange, blue, and black

Nothing real new for my OS-tan universe besides an update to the names list :P

A new day and a new update, heh. This update was actually worth it because besides minor fixes to Valsun and Threshold’s pages, a page for my Mac OS 8/9 character has been published. This the first new character page since… I don’t know when actually. You can read it here https://sinclair-speccy.github.io/The-Mainframe/personalprojects/OS-TAN-FANON/OS/Allegra.html

As for the minor updates to my Windows 10 and 11 character pages, I think I need to research more often because I ended up realising what I had currently did not hold up anymore…

#OStan #Gijinkas #Personification #OStans #Gijinka #Anime #OS娘 #OSたん #OSkun #OSkuns #Worldbuilding

After being idle for a while I did some updates to my OS-tan universe for once. This adds extra parts to character pages such as skin tones and actually adding descriptions for the hairstyles characters have, though I most likely missed a page or two...

More from my tech gijinka prompt list, and the last lol.

I lost motivation rather quickly on my *own* prompt list I created so this was the last character I ever did. This is Valencia Marisela McGovern-Tiburón as seen in Chapter 7 of I Was a Software Developer by @synergy as part of her Operating Superstars project, which is a take on the concept of personifying computers and operating systems.

Valencia represents the VMS/VAX

I drew a blob of Nanami Madobe (Windows 7-tan) while on my hiatus :p

#OStan #Gijinkas #Personification #OStans #Gijinka #Anime #OS娘 #OSたん #NanamiMadobe #MadobeNanami

A drawing of Nanami Madobe depicted as a 'blob' character which is a simplified, rounded version of her design. The drawing includes her signature blue hair with bangs, a light blue headband, and a flower hair clip with colorful petals, has line-shaped eyes and a small, surprised mouth, next to a reference image of the original character

Hello #Fediverse, here's your "daily" OS-tan art and the first of my reworked daily OS-tan posts!

This one is of Windows Me-tan!

Also known as Emui, Me-tan is the original OS-tan from the Futaba Channel, depicting Windows Millennium Edition. With her green pigtails and clumsy demeanor, she has become one of the most beloved OS-tans.

Back in 2003, the anthropomorphic character craze was at its peak in Japan and the anonymous bulletin board community was heavily influenced by this trend. Me-tan was created in Futaba on August 6, 2003, though some believe she first appeared in July of the same year.

Portrayed as a clumsy yet cheerful maid, Me-tan is often depicted as a lovable “natural idiot” who humorously fails to defrag, puts fried noodles in the sink, and microwaves coke.

Art is by creator who goes under as ME-aki :P

An illustration of Me-tan, a personified character representing the Windows Me operating system. Me-tan has green hair styled in a braid with a curl on top and is wearing a blue and white maid outfit with a large red bow on the back. She is depicted with a cheerful expression, eyes closed, and holding the sides of the dress

Finally after forever I finally did a writeup on the Deja Vu drama in relation to OS-tans. It took a while but I'm finally glad it is done as I noticed most people only know little info about it.

By the way if you're gonna use this for like a youtube video, please link back to it or at least give me credit...

Did you know that the concept of "OS-tan" has existed way before even ME-tan was made?

Take OS Idol Win-chan as an example. Win-chan's earliest appearance in media seems to be from a promotional CD by Enterbrain, which dates back as early as October 1998. This would mean that Win-chan predates Me-tan by almost 5 years. It's not specified what Windows version she represents.

Another example can be Magical Toko-chan who is from around 1999. She seems to represent BSD, has a theme song called "Rainbow Holy☆Trident" and has a sister that represents Solaris.

There is also also another "Wintel Miku" although there’s little art of her. She seems to represent WindowsNT4.0/95/98 and was created as the creator was inspired by Mgaical Toko.

Besides Win-Chan, Magical Toko, Solaris-Chan and Wintel Miku all have sites dedicared to them!

Toko: http://tokochan.haun.org/

Solaris-Chan: https://pony.tail.net/toko/sol.html

Wintel Miku: https://web.archive.org/web/20000226063048/http://www.quark-jp.co.jp/~hide/DirectGirl/index.asp

Also fun fact, Win-chan was made by the creator of Sgt.Frog and the concept designer for Kemono Friends, Yoshizaki Mine! This can be seen on his profile for his site here: http://mnet.nicomi.com/MINEprofile/YOSPRO.html

#OStan #Gijinkas #Personification #OStans #Gijinka #Anime #OS娘 #OSたん #WindowsNT #Windows98 #Windows95 #BSD #Solaris #90s

An anime-style character named OSIDOL Win-chan. Win-chan has blue hair and is wearing a blue and white outfit with a green, blue, yellow skirt. She is winking and pointing up with her right hand which is resting on her face. The background is colorful with various abstract patterns in shades of green, blue, yellow, and red. The text "OS-IDOL Win-chan" is prominently displayed, along with the copyright notice "1998.1999 Mine Yoshizaki All Rights Reserved."

An illustration of Magical Toko-chan. The character is dressed in a colorful outfit with a red top, yellow skirt, and lilac hair. Magical Toko-chan is holding a staff adorned with colorful orbs and has a tail with a pointy tip. There is BSD mascot hovering near the character's head. The background features a rainbow, and the words "Magical" and "TOKO." are prominently displayed in stylized text

Art of Wintel Miku with large, expressive eyes and glasses. She has light brown hair tied with red hair accessories and is wearing a white and blue dress with puffed sleeves and a collar. She is holding a long, pink staff with a red and yellow ornament at the end with wings on it

Bleh. I might start reposting my old daily OS-tan posts so they're in order and have alt text by deleting the old ones.

I hope this doesn't bother people, but I think it is easier this way...

When I first did the posts they weren't in any real order so I want to fix that by going in order :p

#OStan #Gijinkas #Personification #OStans #Gijinka #Anime #OS娘 #OSたん

Published a minor update to my OS-tan "fanon" wiki with a new section on other minor characters. Unlike the other misc characters page this is one uses a different layout with dropdown boxes, and is for characters who in theory do exist which is a fair few but do not have enough information to give them a distinct page, or are getting reworked...

Hello #Fediverse, here’s today’s daily OS-tan!

This one is of Mutsumi Madobe, a lesser-known member of the Madobe family and a personification of Windows Vista! Mutsumi is portrayed as the older sister of Nanami Madobe who represents Windows 7, though her origins could be seen as quite unique compared to other OS-tans.

Mutsumi first appeared through tweets made from Nanami’s Twitter account beginning on October 3, 2009. While she was never officially used for promotional campaigns, she did show up in some Madobe Family Trees included with official merchandise. On special occasions like April Fool’s Day 2010, she “took over” tweeting duties, using the hashtag #6me.

Unlike Nanami she has no official artwork but on April 20, 2010 the artist Sappappa designed an unofficial interpretation of her based on her tweets. This fan-made depiction gained enough popularity to inspire derivative artwork.

Mutsumi’s design and character reflect her connection to Vista. She’s a little taller than Nanami and is often noted for her larger bust, perhaps showing Vista’s higher memory demands compared to Windows 7 (the same case with XP Pro-tan). She loves eating gyudon and prefers to skip outdated software in favor of new releases: a subtle nod to the compatibility struggles that Vista faced during its time.

There was even a joke site made for her you can find here: http://www.t1500.com/april/2014/

Hello #Fediverse, here’s your “daily” OS-tan!

In honor of Windows 8’s 12th anniversary which I missed (and not doing one of those posts for a long time), I'm doing one for Yū Madobe and Ai Madobe, the official mascots and OS-tans for Windows 8/8.1 who were created for special bundles by Windows Navi+ that came with some copies of Windows 8 during its launch in Japan, known as the Windows 8 Pro DSP Release Commemorative Packs.

Yū is the quieter older sister with a love for gadgets, a hidden Otaku at heart, and someone who thrives on the latest digital trends and has the shorter hair. Her younger sister, Ai, is cheerful and loves exploring what’s new and popular among junior high trends, especially anything tech-related and is the one with longer hair. Both share a birthdate of November 18, 1996, connecting them to the Windows lineage as distant relatives of Nanami Madobe! Fun fact: The sisters nearly tied in the 2012 Akihabara Moe Character Contest!

Many believe that one character was meant to represent Windows 8 and the other Windows 8.1 although both debuted well before anyone anticipated the release of 8.1. Another theory suggests one represents Windows 8, while the other stands for RT; however, both were actually featured in the promotion of Windows 8 Pro in the Commemorative Packs. Since they were also used to promote Windows 8.1 later on, it’s more accurate to view them as representing Windows 8 and 8.1 collectively.

Yū and Ai Madobe dressed in matching blue and white outfits with colorful ties and hair accessories. They are standing in front of a store promoting Windows 8, with one character holding a tablet displaying the Windows 8 interface. The background shows a busy street scene with silhouettes of people and various signs advertising Windows 8. Confetti is scattered throughout the scene, adding a festive atmosphere

Two characters in blue and white outfits, adorned with colorful bows. They're on large, colorful blocks resembling the tiles in Windows 8, each with different icons and text. One block is green, another is red, and another is blue with a sun icon. The background is deep blue, featuring more icons and text, including “Anonymous” and Japanese text for "Start". One character holds a tablet, while the other reaches out

Ugh ever since #Microsoft did a Instagram reel on OS-tans, actual genuine creepos went to the OS-tan subreddit I moderate trying to defend their freaky stuff towards Ichika.

Just because she’s fictional that doesn’t mean you can… yeah. You know where I’m going
