Unix-tan is compassionate toward Vintage-tans, out of regret for her role in destroying the world that came before her, and charity for the less powerful. She | Unix-tan is compassionate toward Vintage-tans, out of regret for her role in destroying the world that came before her, and charity for the less powerful.

After Bell Labs withdrew support for [[Multics]]-tan, a modified clone was created in her place. Built with the help of [[PDP-7]]-tan and [[GCOS]]-tan, she was originally named UNICS, after her mother. Intensely curious about her origins and the secrecy surrounding her birth, she discovered the truth while working her first job at the patent office. | After Bell Labs withdrew support for [[Multics]]-tan, a modified clone was created in her place.

Unix-tan was manipulated by GCOS-tan into hating and fearing Multics-tan, becoming convinced that she alone held the power to vanquish the insane sorceress. Aware of her own inferiority, Unix first tried rallying the help of other OS-tans, but was rejected. She attempted to take on Multics-tan by herself, but found herself no match. Disheartened but determined, she schemed to bring Multics down to her level, but was knocked unconscious in the subsequent altercation. Unix-tan awoke in a state of primal rage, cutting through Multics-tan's defenses while consuming her power, leaving her rival badly injured both physically and magically. | Unix-tan was manipulated by GCOS-tan into hating and fearing Multics-tan,<ref>[https://www.ostan-collections.net/forum/index.php/topic,627.msg42967.html#msg42967 "To GECOS-tan, Unix-sama probably would have sounded like the ultimate weapon against her enemy"]</ref> becoming convinced that she alone held the power to vanquish the insane sorceress.

Though she'd proven herself triumphant, Unix-tan was horrified that she almost killed her mother. Her newly awakened powers and stolen sceptre remain to this day as self-imposed reminders of her actions. | Though she'd proven herself triumphant, Unix-tan was horrified that she almost killed her mother.
