{{WIP}}While the OS-tan community cannot agree on a single OS-tan setting | {{WIP}}While the OS-tan community cannot agree on a single OS-tan setting or continuity, many writers and artists have created, within their stories, OS-tan universes that have definitive settings, backgrounds and mechanics. It is unlikely these stories are a part of a single continuity - however, some share elements that hint at them being related, and a number are confirmed as belonging to a shared continuity. | ||
The first prominent continuity to arise in the OS-tan fan community was that of the "Fantasy culture" setting. Largely imagined by former OSC artist C-chan and laid out in his Annex Project, it featured a cast built mostly of OS- and program-tans, with a few humans included. Under this view of the OS-tan universe, OS-tan are almost entirely female and a ruling class; their assistants, program-tans, are divided between male and female. Humans are largely limited to industry leaders, and portrayed as the creators and bosses of the OS-tans. Other defining characteristics of this continuity include: Pure hardware-tans are all but ignored; the earlier an OS-tan was built, the more antiquated its appearance and behavior is; and the mainframes are cast as a race of giants. The earliest character in this continuity is EXEC-tan. | |||
Among the first OS-tan stories to employ a variant of the "real world" setting is OSC user Bella's Linux-tan comic. While most of the characters are OS-tans, humans are featured as well. The setting seems to be largely real-world, with differences typical to the real world-based theory of OS-tan setting: such as OS-tans possessing magical powers; as well as a few characteristics borrowed from the "fantasy culture" theory, like -tans grouping into factions that function largely independent of human society. The relationship between the real world and the world of the OS-tans was not detailed at any length, nor was OS-tan society outside of a few factions (mostly the Unix and Linux-tans). | |||
