	~~This character represents~~ the "Commodore 264" series- the Commodore C16, C116 and Plus/4~~, but mainly the latter~~. ~~The three~~ computer systems are ~~similar to~~ each other and ~~were all commercial failures in~~ the ~~Western markets just the same~~, but ~~at least~~ the Plus/4 had some success in ~~Central and~~ Eastern Europe		The [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_Plus%2F4 Commodore Plus/4] is part of the Commodore 264 series, released in 1984; the Commodore C16, C116 and Plus/4. These computer systems have similar capabilities, and are compatible with each other. The C16 and 116 had 16 KB of RAM, the Plus/4 had 64 KB of RAM. They had a more advanced version of Commodore BASIC, and supported more colors, but lacked hardware support for sprites, and the [http://www.old-computers.com/museum/computer.asp?st=1&c=194 Plus/4's built-in office programs were severely limited].

			The C16, C116 and Plus/4 were limited to not replace the C64, but to replace the VIC-20, and to be a competitor against the Sinclair computers. The 264 series was a flop in the US, but the C16 and C116 had some success in Western Europe, the [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Commodore_16#Market_performance C16 was successful in Mexico, where it was sold until 1992]. The Plus/4 was successful in Eastern Europe after being sold at lower prices than other computers, and [http://yape.homeserver.hu/history.htm had the greatest success in Hungary].

	The main factor that caused the C16, C116 and Plus/4 to fail was misaimed marketing- that they were deliberately limited in their abilities as to not replace the C64 but instead be a replacement for the VIC-20, and be a competitor against the Sinclair computers.

	The Plus/4 is noted for being Commodore's computer model with a built-in office suite with a word processor, spreadsheet, database and graphing. However its suite is of poor quality, and its inferior graphics compared to the C64, and lack of backwards compatibility prevented the Plus/4 from being a gaming machine.

	==Character details==		==Character details==
	Plus/4-tan ~~(as she is more commonly known)~~ is represented as a girl with short light blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a headset. Her Commodore ~~military~~ uniform resembles C64-tan's, but is black and orange instead of white and blue~~. She still wears her jacket and boots with a dress~~. Sometimes she's depicted wearing a traditional Hungarian folk dress, as Hungary is where the Plus/4 had the most success, and still has quite a following today.		Plus/4-tan represents the Plus/4 along with the C16 and C116, and is represented as a teenage girl with short light blue hair, dark blue eyes, and a headset. She wears her jacket and boots from her Commodore Fleet uniform with a dress that is lilac and white, or black and white with rainbow trim modeled after the rainbow trim of the Plus/4.

			Her Commodore Fleet uniform jacket resembles C64-tan's, but is shorter, and is black and orange instead of white and blue. Sometimes she's depicted wearing a traditional Hungarian folk dress, as Hungary is where the Plus/4 had the most success, and still has quite a following today. The collar of her jacket is decorated with insignia on each lapel, with the Commodore logo, arrow keys modeled after the Plus/4's and C116's arrow keys, "C264", and "Plus/4". She also has "C16" and "C116" insignia on each of her jacket pockets.

	~~She isn't actually that bad at gaming~~, ~~but pales in comparison to C64-tan~~, ~~who she was constantly compared to~~, and ~~fell victim to self-fulfilling prophecy for~~ a ~~long time. She mainly does office writing~~ and ~~office work although she's worse at those than gaming, but the lack of comparisons there make her feel better about those tasks~~.		In her full uniform, she wore her jacket and boots with a white skirt, a grey shirt, white tie, and a black and white hat with rainbow stripes.

			She is quiet, and somewhat melancholy, but is helpful and has great communication skills. She is an artist, though she is not naturally talented at art, referencing the 264 series' lack of hardware sprites, but she has become skilled at art. She is very efficient with resources, and is good at programming, but is naturally bad at handling spreadsheets or graphs, the tasks she was originally meant to do.

	~~She is still rather melancholy, but is compassionate and good at helping others. She's good at communicating, and likes to make art.~~
