LINC-tan has pale skin, long black hair with straight-cut bangs and gray-blue eyes, and usually wears black dresses with a lab coat and green ribbons in her hair. In her recent years, she also wears a stab vest reflecting the strength and reliability of LINCTape, which can have holes punched in it by a paper tape puncher without any problems.

	Despite being pacifistic and outwardly-polite for the most part, her personality is cynical and somewhat acerbic. She is highly intelligent and educated with good powers of recollection, but needs her planner with to do anything. She is sometimes hard to communicate with and intimidated by groups, as such she prefers to talking to one person at a time. Her experiences with the National Institutes of Heath gave her psychology skills and up until DEC's demise, she worked as a mental-health professional.

LINC started working for the National Institute of Health sometime in the early 1960s. Little is known of her time working for the NIH, but it is known that she furthered her training as a psychologist during this time.

	In 1964, she was recruited into the [[DEC Military \| DEC Faction]] and faced a frosty welcome. Several factors have been cited as contributing to the DEC-~~tan~~'s hostility; among these, her work as a mental-health professional and assigned position as "surgeon-general", her MIT origins and unusual paper-based sorcery. In spite of the mostly negative reaction, some DEC-tans took a liking to her; most notably [[PDP-8]]-tan, who herself is a distant relative of LINC.

	Despite their seemingly clashing personalities - LINC being cynical, cold, intelligent and over-educated, and PDP-8 being bubbly, personable, but rather uneducated and mentally-simplistic - they were fast friends, and their relationship soon took a markedly affectionate, perhaps even ''romantic'' turn. Realizing that they shared a high level of compatibility, the management of DEC arranged for them to be married; LINC and PDP-8-tan were not only accepting of this arrangement, but enthusiastic over it. They wed in 1966, and remain together to this day.

This ability got her branded as something of a witch by her DEC peers, who were already mistrustful of her due to her outside (MIT) origins.

	LINC ~~and~~ [[PDP-8]]~~-tan were partnered in marriage by DEC management; while this wasn't a particularly rare arrangement~~, ~~LINC and~~ PDP-~~8's reaction to it was.

	~~Aside from~~ her ~~wife and some children~~, LINC~~'s relationship with DEC's computer population and management was tumultuous~~ - ~~she never got along well with any of her peers~~ at ~~the company, and they never took to her. After the company disbanded, she parted ways with her coworkers in an unsentimental goodbye; today, she lives out a quiet retirement with PDP-8-tan~~.		Outside of her own familial unit, LINC-tan had few friends or admirers at DEC.

	==History and background==		==History and background==
			====Early Life====
			LINC-tan began life in 1961. She was created at Lincoln Laboratory and attended classes at MIT; unlike many of her peers, who were directed into physics, computer science, mathematics and other 'hard science' fields, LINC studied social sciences, psychology in particular. While studying at the university, LINC made acquaintance with many MIT computer-tans - she and [[CTSS]]-tan sometimes spent time together, and she occasionally visited [[Whirlwind]]-tan, although Whirlwind was already in delicate health at this point. She looked up to Whirlwind in a way, and considered her something of a conceptual-ancestor - because of this, her health problems caused LINC a certain amount of emotional distress and sadness. It is unknown how, or if, LINC and [[TX-0]]-tan got along; as TX-0 was created with knowledge gained in the experimental surgeries that disabled Whirlwind-tan and considered something of a pariah among the OS-tans who admired Whirlwind.

			LINC started working for the National Institute of Health sometime in the early 1960s. Little is known of her time working for the NIH, but it is known that she furthered her training as a psychologist during this time.

			In 1964, she was recruited into the [[DEC Military \| DEC Faction]] and faced a frosty welcome. Several factors have been cited as contributing to the DEC-tan's hostility; among these, her work as a mental-health professional and assigned position as "surgeon-general", her MIT origins and unusual paper-based sorcery. In spite of the mostly negative reaction, some DEC-tans took a liking to her; most notably [[PDP-8]]-tan, who herself is a distant relative of LINC.

			Despite their seemingly clashing personalities - LINC being cynical, cold, intelligent and over-educated, and PDP-8 being bubbly, personable, but rather uneducated and mentally-simplistic - they were fast friends, and their relationship soon took a markedly affectionate, perhaps even ''romantic'' turn. Realizing that they shared a high level of compatibility, the management of DEC arranged for them to be married; LINC and PDP-8-tan were not only accepting of this arrangement, but enthusiastic over it. They wed in 1966, and remain together to this day.

			In 1969, PDP-8 and LINC-tan had a child together, [[PDP-12]]-tan. This is one of only a few recorded instances of an OS-tan being created from two parents.

			====Modern Day====
			To date, there are no theories or documentation concerning LINC's activities between the 1970s and current-day. Today, she resides with PDP-8-tan in an undisclosed location in New England.
