It is the proprietary OS-tans that are the most vulnerable to death, since Open Source OS-tans represent systems that can still be freely modified even after being discontinued by their original developer. | It is the proprietary OS-tans that are the most vulnerable to death, since Open Source OS-tans represent systems that can still be freely modified even after being discontinued by their original developer. | ||
==Factors that determine remaining life force, decline, and death== | |||
''See [[OS-tan Code Pool Theory]].'' | |||
An OS-tan is in her prime when she is a current system; growing in influence, power and code-wielding abilities as more hardware is available under her control. She also draws power from her direct descendants (younger sisters or daughters, etc.) she shares a code pool with. | |||
Over time after an OS-tan's system is discontinued, the hardware she once had control over will fail over time, and her power will diminish, with eventual decline in sanity or physical abilities depending on the scope of her fall from power. Eventually she will die as she has no hardware to draw her power from, and can't draw enough power from her descendants to stay alive. | |||
Not all abilities are lost though, if an OS-tan has natural abilities independent of code-wielding (i.e: 95-tan's swordsmanship, OS/2-tan's prehensile hair). Those natural abilities won't be lost, but an OS-tan with them may lose the strength to carry them out if she has suffered physical and/or mental decline. | |||
In most cases, an OS-tan is considered dead if there's not enough of a userbase using just original, unemulated hardware and software to keep the system alive. | |||
