	VMS-tan~~'s asexuality (~~and ~~likely, aromanticism) has been more or less confirmed, in various comics, proposed storylines as well as two character interviews~~. ~~While most of VMS' coworkers and friends know of~~ - ~~and accept~~ - ~~her orientation, her text editor assistant [[RED~~]~~]-kun tried for many years to win her affection, to no avail.~~		VMS-tan is probably asexual and aromantic-spectrum.<ref>[https://www.deviantart.com/bellacielo/art/OC-Meme-OS-tan-Edition-153317602 OC Meme: OS-tan Edition]</ref>

	~~It has been speculated that~~ VMS-tan was the most ~~psychologically-~~affected of all the DEC-tans by the breakup of her company. ~~In fear of becoming without a house or homeland once again~~, she ~~took up residence~~ on ~~her ship - an~~ old military vessel named DECADE ~~- knowing that nobody would ever be able to put her out of her home again if she made a life on the sea~~.		VMS-tan was the most affected of all the DEC-tans by the breakup of her company.

			Seeking self-sufficiency, she lives on old military vessel named DECADE.

	Her name was changed to OpenVMS is 1992, but she continued to use her old moniker out of convenience. The first major trauma in her life occurred in 1993 when [[NT-tan \| Windows NT]] was born and VMS subsequently discovered that she was, in part, a genetic copy of herself. The cloning was purported by VMS' creator who, after leaving DEC, was hired by the rising Microsoft empire to create their next generation of OS-tan – one capable of seizing the then-elusive server and minicomputer market. Taking advantage of the disarray of the Unix and OS Wars, NT was able to conquer already divided nations and secure the Windows empire in the professional market.

	One of NT's targets was the already-weakened DEC empire; she faced off against VMS in a duel, completely unaware that her opponent was her mother. VMS, holding back for fear of injuring her daughter, was defeated; this experience made her rethink her life and pushed her toward her current-day mentality.
