Character details

General

Originally, AIX-tan was depicted as an elegant woman with lilac hair and similarly-colored eyes, wearing a fusion of business-wear and frilly women's attire, an allusion to AIX's supposed Multics heritage. A later concept put her in more utilitarian and futuristic clothing - a tight-fitting jacket, small tie, cargo-like pants, boots and long hair, generally tied in a ponytail, and blunt-cut side-swept bangs. OSC user Paul further developed her design: giving her dual-tone green hair, an AIX logo hairclip and an IBM "POWER" tattoo and depicting her as tall, extremely strong, analytically-minded and business-like but bordering on paranoia when it comes to matters of personal security, often asking that people display verification before she interacts with them. She does this not because she is "mean" or difficult, but because she is powerful, high-ranking and appropriately careful about her own safety. Like many Unices, AIX possesses magical abilities; in her case, the ability to project copies of herself.

Family and Relationships

As a high-ranking Unix-tan, AIX is well-respected and valued by UNIX-tan. Unusual for a proprietary Unix, AIX is quite fond of Linux-tan and is friends with her, and also associates with VM/CMS-tan.
