	==Technical details==		==Technical details==
	~~The~~ [[wikipedia: Compatible_Time-Sharing_System\| Compatible Timesharing System]]~~, released 1961, is a small timesharing system built for the [[wikipedia: IBM_7094 \| IBM 7094 computer]]. One of~~ the first timesharing ~~operating systems, it was developed by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology Computation Center. It's worth noting that the “Compatible” in CTSS' name refers to an earlier IBM~~ OS~~, Fortran Monitor Program, which CTSS virtualized in order to complete batch processes~~.		Developed by the MIT Computation Center and initially released in 1961, the [[wikipedia: Compatible_Time-Sharing_System\| Compatible Timesharing System]] was the first general purpose timesharing OS.

	While it ~~had a short lifespan of twelve years and~~ was only ~~installed~~ in two ~~sites~~ (both on the MIT campus) CTSS ~~proved to be prolific; it~~ influenced ~~most~~ timesharing ~~systems to come, most notably CP/CMS, TSS/360 and [[Multics \| Multics]] – the latter~~ a ~~direct descendant~~, ~~built on~~ and ~~hosted by CTSS machines until it was self-functioning~~.		While it was only in use for twelve years across two installations (both on the MIT campus) CTSS heavily influenced the design of other early timesharing OSes. It debuted a number of modern operating system features, and multiple notable programs.
	~~The source code of~~ CTSS ~~was made open and freely available in 2004. In August~~ of 2010~~, an operational 7094 emulator capable of running a functioning CTSS system was released~~.
			CTSS became usable under emulation as of 2010.

	==Character details==		==Character details==
	===~~General~~===		===Physical===
	CTSS-tan is depicted as a ~~mature~~ woman with ~~wavy~~ dark red hair, ~~dark~~ red eyes and ~~small~~ oval glasses. ~~A sinophile~~, she ~~dresses~~ in ~~Chinese-inspired Victorian~~-style ~~clothing~~ and ~~partakes in Chinese cultural activities~~. She ~~dresses simply~~ and ~~elegantly~~, ~~reflecting the sensible nature of the system~~. ~~Her mother~~ is ~~[[Whirlwind \| Whirlwind]]~~, ~~and has two sisters who~~ both ~~outlived her: [[SAGE \| SAGE]]~~ and ~~[[PDP~~-~~1 \| PDP 1]]~~. She ~~stands out~~ as the ~~only OS-tan in a family~~ of ~~hardware and hybrid -tans~~.		CTSS-tan is depicted as a woman in her 30s, average height with light olive skin, long dark red hair, red and blue eyes and thick oval glasses. Her travels have given her an appreciation for a wide variety of cultures, which she incorporates into her personal style,<ref>Had remote users in multiple countries.</ref> with long sleeve qipao-style dresses a favorite of hers. She favors the colors red and blue.<ref>Referencing the Computation Center "Blue Machine" (IBM 7090, later 7094) and Project MAC "Red Machine" (IBM 7090).</ref>

			She has low vision and can read & write braille.<ref>CTSS was used for early computer braille translation & typesetting.</ref>

			She speaks with a slight Bostonian accent.

			==Personality==
			A career academic, CTSS-tan is forward-thinking and hardworking, but modest about her accomplishments.

			CTSS-tan is great at multitasking and can communicating with groups. She is good at understanding different perspectives, endearing her to both older and contemporary OS-tans.<ref>Compatible with older batch processing systems.</ref>

			She is a good mediator and lends a sympathetic ear to humans and computers alike, and while she gladly issues advice she pushes back gently on her reputation as "therapist". Because of her social experience, she comes off as an average human to those who aren't aware of her true nature. <ref>Hosted the Rogerian therapist chatbot and early Turing Test contender ELIZA.</ref>

			Despite her talkative nature she's good at keeping secrets and dislikes gossip. <ref>First implementation of computer passwords.</ref>

	~~CTSS~~ is quiet and reserved, traits sometimes mistaken for emotional distance or coldness. In reality she is actually quite kind and caring especially toward her “kids” and students. She considered Multics her child and took care of her when she was too young, and sick, to care for herself; one of her greatest achievements in life was raising her into healthy adulthood (and furthermore securing an heir).		Can have a hot temper but is generally good at moderating it.

	==~~=Alternate character interpretation=~~==		==Powers==
	~~She is usually portrayed as a deceased character. Seeing that~~ CTSS ~~was Open Sourced and can now~~ be ~~used in emulators~~, ~~another interpretation~~ is ~~that she was resurrected~~, ~~but if so, her whereabouts haven~~'t ~~been discussed yet~~.		CTSS-tan possesses the power to be multiple places at once, the first OS-tan to have such. She is reluctant to discuss it, playing it off as good timing to those who aren't in the know.

	==History and background==		==History and background==
	~~Along with Multics,~~ CTSS ~~also taught many young timesharing OS~~-~~tans~~ of the ~~day~~, ~~including~~ [[~~CPCMS~~ \| ~~CP/CMS~~]], ~~[[TSS360 \| TSS/360]]~~ and [[~~ITS~~ \| ~~ITS~~]]. ~~It is unknown how~~ she ~~feels about~~ her ~~most famous descendant~~, ~~[[UNIX \| Unix]]~~, as the ~~two never had an opportunity~~ to ~~meet; but has been speculated~~ that she ~~would have looked upon~~ her ~~simple granddaughter favourably~~.		CTSS-tan was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1961. She traces part of her ancestry to the IBM 709 line, and part to [[Whirlwind \| Whirlwind-tan]], who inspired her creation. While she is aware of her IBM kin and respects her grandmother [[IAS \| IAS-tan]]<ref>Early OS for the 709, later 7090/94, which traces back to the 701, a commercialized IAS.</ref>, she takes strongly after Whirlwind-tan, whom she regards as her mother.

	~~While technically an IBM~~-tan, ~~CTSS had no allegiance to the empire~~, ~~scorning them for~~ the ~~academic intelligentsia~~ of ~~MIT~~. ~~The only~~ IBM-tans ~~she regularly worked with~~, and ~~had affection for, are FMP~~-tan ~~– her assistant – and CP~~/~~CMS, one of her students~~.

CTSS-tan regarded [[UNIX \| Unix-tan]] highly despite Multics-tan's fraught relationship with her, and disapproved of the fighting between the two, though she was powerless to stop it.

			Though she was in seemingly good health until the end of her life, she passed away suddenly in the early 1970s.
