OS-tan Talk / Re: komepo and komelu?
Last post by Bella - November 07, 2025, 06:22:39 PMI don't play mugenl, but this is an interesting find. I imagine the person who created this character must've taken inspiration from the design of xp-tan or komepo.

We now have email back on the forum, and I should be getting the rest of it to work later today.
Now you all can change your passwords and verify your accounts again!

OS-tan Talk / Re: komepo and komelu?
Last post by Goujer - November 07, 2025, 08:00:46 AMI have not heard of the Komelu, could be a typo, could be something else.
The designs are similar enough that I would think it might just be an alternate name or typo.
We might be able to get a better idea if we look at the Futaba mugen fork.
Edit: Upon launching my Nijikaku game, ingame that is definitely her sprite, but the image labeled "komelu stanford" I cannot find.
Edit 2: Upon further research, I think this is just someones OC that's an edit of Komepo https://www.andersonkenya1.net/files/file/42787-komelu-stanfordrc1/

OS-tan Talk / komepo and komelu?
Last post by RaitoninqXaara - November 07, 2025, 07:21:48 AMi stumbled upon a mugen character komelu stanford...
and she looks exactly like komepo (the american version of xp-tan)
now i have no idea if komelu and komepo are the same character- i mean both have similar hairclips and windows xp outfit and blonde hair and blue eyes (komepo has ginger hair and hazel eyes in some pics)

OS-tan Talk / Re: More IBM-tans III: The One...
Last post by Bella - November 06, 2025, 03:35:29 PMUK computer double-feature! Wrapping up the rest of the EDVAC/IAS cohort.
Art here!
Electronic Delay Storage Automatic Calculator (EDSAC)-tan
(Represents the first and second EDSAC computers)
- Visually similar to ENIAC-tan and EDVAC-tan, but a living girl
- Fully realized ideas laid out in the First Draft Report on EDVAC.
- Good hearing
- Mercury delay line memory based on sound waves.
- Talks through problems while working
- Speaker allowed programmers to listen to the progress of their program.
- Night owl.
- Prone to electrical discharge.
- User stories about electrocutions.
- Jack-of-all-trades scientist with interest in radio, chemistry, biology and oceanography
- Various uses.
- Macabre sense of humor & interests.
- Built in the old dissection room of the anatomical lab.
- To that end, carries around a casket
- Mercury delay lines held in "coffins".
- Avid reader, owns many books & reference manuals
- Early software subroutine library.
- Good at communicating ideas
- Early implementation of assemblers & symbolic programming.
- Loves working with people and discussing computers
- University system with wide impact on subsequent generations.
- Avoids family drama
- Less of a lightning rod than ENIAC, EDVAC, IAS or MADM.
- Did odd jobs on the side.
- Used for commercial services.
Status: Died in the mid-60s, received a full funeral. She got better and is now alive & thriving. (Full scale working replica.)
Relationships:
- Half-sister to EDVAC-tan (closest relation), as well as IAS-tan and MADM-tan.
- Wants to know ENIAC-tan.
- Likes IAS-tan and EDVAC-tan, reciprocated by IAS-tan.
- "First Draft Report" directly influenced EDSAC.
- Doesn't go out of her way to associate, but is on good terms with MADM-tan.
- Studied abroad with MIT computers, especially CTSS & Whirlwind-tan
- Wilkes spent time at the MIT computer laboratory.
- Regarded as a mysterious distant "aunt" by the DECs
- See above, also the creator worked consultant for DEC.
- Founder of the LEO faction.
Appearance and Personality:
- Save for hair/eye color, is the spitting image of EDVAC-tan, only in a fully embodied form.
- Shoulder length curly hair a mix of red and silver.
- Olive/hazel eyes.
- Red plastic rimmed glasses.
- Multicolored, multi-strand yarn hair bows.
- Button up shirt in white, cable knit sweater typically in red or marled multicolor, and a gray plaid skirt, unraveling at edges
- Have you seen the cable management on this thing?
- Wears a tweed blazer with elbow patches as the situation calls for it.
- "Classic" British accent, posh and soft-spoken.
Has the poise and propriety of her mother(?) and half-sister, balanced by the humility and open-mindedness of a career academic. Patient and gracious. High degree of scientific knowledge, happiest when she has something to study or an experiment to run. Carries a joking reputation for being a mad scientist given her working location & interests, but no one really believes it. Extremely affable and approachable, gets along with most everyone. Proud of her impact on and well-regarded by later generations of computers.
Manchester Mark 1-tan (a.k.a. MADM; f.k.a. Small Scale Experimental Machine/SSEM, "Baby")
(Also represents Ferranti Mark I, at least the original Manchester installation...)
- Born as a laboratory experiment. Had (has?) a bit of an existential crisis over being (at least in her mind) an "accident".
- Built to test Williams Tubes.
- Initially in poor physical condition due to continual "enhancements"
- Poor reliability in initial years because of constant upgrades.
- Eyes reveal what she's thinking, hides them to maintain secrecy.
- CRT memory inspected by viewing patterns on the tubes.
- Powers over TV sets / CRTs
- See above.
- Thoughts scrambled by strong EMF. Manifests as clumped patterns on her eyes.
- Couldn't be operated near radar or other strong EM sources.
- Trained mathematician, moved onto other things
- Project originally headed by math dept.
- Thrifty
- Built on a small budget.
- Fastidiously organized with a good recall of information
- Debuted index registers.
- Not the best communicator at first, improved with time
- Difficult to program before autocodes became available.
- Pariah for her unnerving appearance, powers, and claims made of her intellect
- Scandal over news coverage of Mk. 1 being an "electronic brain"
- Cleaned up and re-debuted in the early 1950s
- Commercialized as Ferranti Mark I.
- Well traveled with a number of professional skills.
- Many Ferranti Mk. I installations around the world.
- Intense, absurdist sense of humor. Likes to sing, and free-associate love letters. "Married" a member of her team once...
Status: Died in the 1960s. Reborn as an earlier incarnation of herself. (Full-scale replica of the Manchester Baby.)
Relationships:
- Complicated family life growing up
- Worked on by a large team, conflicting ideals and poor communication at times.
- Half-sister to IAS-tan (closest relation), and EDSAC & EDVAC-tan
- Baby based on a simplified IAS design.
- Cultivates rumor that she's built from Colossus-tan's body parts as it adds to prestige and mystery.
- Manchester acquired Colossi parts, only used frame pieces.
- Dismisses EDVAC-tan.
- Creators attended Moore School Lectures, didn't think much of them.
- Casual acquaintances with EDSAC-tan.
- Spent time with IAS-tan in youth, but had a falling out.
- Doesn't get along with ACE-tan.
- Matriarch of the Ferranti line.
Appearance and Personality:
- Very pale skintone, scarred due to extensive reworking, disheveled silver-white hair prone to static buildup, black eyes with square dot pattern square irises.
- Resemblance to IAS-tan, but scrawnier (in her youth) / taller & more muscular (as an adult).
As "Baby":
- A bit of a runt, hair held in braids, school uniform and oversized labcoat.
Matured:
- Tall, muscular, somewhat top-heavy build. As MADM she wore disheveled clothing hidden under a labcoat, or a labcoat-like dress. As Ferranti Mk. I she favors contemporary businesswear in blue, usually wearing sunglasses.
- Matching hat with netting.
- Installations needed screens to prevent EMF interference.
- Mancunian accent. Voice is rather booming and attention-getting.
Proud, headstrong and self-reliant. She considers herself a self-made woman and acts accordingly, willing to listen to new ideas but ultimately guided by her own principles. Because of this, she's reluctant to discuss the influence of others' on her upbringing, and tends to dismiss familial connections. Despite starting off as a theoretician, she's hard-working and unafraid to get her hands dirty. Irreverent sense of humor. Never lost track of her humble beginnings, motivated her to do her best to rise above them.
