Character Details
The enigmatic matriarch of all later IBM-tans. Her predecessors were ASCC (aka Harvard Mark I) and SSEC (Selective Sequence Electronic Calculator). She differed radically from them for being an OS, and as such can be installed on multiple sites, while her predecessors were single-installation computers with a much more limited scope of influence and life force. She never knew them though, because they died before she was created.
GMOS-tan is depicted as a woman with curly blonde hair, a blue and green frilly gown combining Victorian and Elizabethan-era fashions with an industrial vibe; the punch-card theme, collar and tie reference the industrial use of this OS. She was accompanied by assembly worker servants, and was a benevolent queen-like figure to her subjects.
She did not have much of a family growing up since her older sisters died, she was happy to have daughters and they were her immediate family: IBSYS-tan, UMES-tan and BESYS-tan. She died in the mid 1960's. Much of what was known of her personality and appearance had been lost to time to nearly all the IBM-tans, but is still revered by them, and the many mainframe-tans she influenced.
