The OS-tan are Moe anthropomorphisms of Windows Operating Systems. CivGeneral used them as avatars from midway through DRAW Your Own Story 5 to his appearance in DYOS 9.

Early appearances

The OS-tan featured heavily in DRAW Your Own Story 6:

  • 95-tan was Empress of Coruscant and presumed wife of CivGeneral, and served as Cultural Advisor;
  • 2000-tan: Domestic and Foreign Affairs Advisor;
  • XP-tan: Trade Advisor; she was also CivGeneral's persona throughout DYOS VII and IX.
Neptune-tan, CG's persona in the early half of DRAW Your Own Story 8.

In DYOS VIII, CivGeneral used the OS-tan as his in-story persona interchangeably, including the addition of Neptune-tan (Windows Neptune, in development from early 1999-2000), characterized by cybernetic enhancement and little visible expression.

DYOS XI

The OS-tan briefly returned during Hackergeddon. Albert Wesker fused them into a groupmind "Omega OS-tan" that he turned against CivGeneral, installing it into a P30 mind control device used on Faye Valentine to create Sylux.[1] In order to free Faye, the P30 was disabled and the OS-tan destroyed.[2]
