===Technical details===
===Technical details===
RSX was a family of more than 10 real-time operating systems developed by DEC, created for use on the PDP-11 computer. RSX was noted for being wildly different than other DEC OSs. While it contributed largely to VMS, it's own heritage is vague; most accounts trace its roots to a Bunker-Ramo RW-300 process control system, circa the late 1950s.  
RSX-11 is a family of more than 10 operating systems developed by DEC for the PDP-11line of computers. RSX is quite distinct from the other PDP-11 OS offerings made by DEC, both in design and history. RSX-11 is a modified version of RSX-15, an OS used on the PDP-15; RSX-15, in turn, hailed from a Bunker-Ramo RW-300 process control system (circa late 1950s).
 
RSX-11 started off as a humble paper-tape real-time executive, only bootable from DOS-11; later on it evolved into a multiuser system, then a fully-fledged timesharing system. Although it was primarily designed for and used in process control applications, it gained a following as a 'general-purpose' operating system.
 
RSX-11 is the direct ancestor of OpenVMS and Windows NT, and inspired the creation of at least one known Soviet clone, DOS/RV (OCPB-CM).

===Character details===
''At this date, RSX-tan personifies both RSX-15 and the various flavors of RSX-11.''
RSX-tan is depicted as a somewhat tall and lightly-built woman with medium skintone, longish dark gray hair and grayish-hazel eyes. She generally forgoes the typical DEC uniform in favor of a casual split-front dress over loose pants, or a jumpsuit and flat shoes.
RSX-tan is a classically-trained fencer and experienced combat-swordsman. While she prefers physical weapons to magical ones, she possesses a knowledge of, and is known known to practice, sorcery, unlike the majority of her DEC kin.
====Design revisions====
RSX-tan was originally depicted as being black haired and blue-eyed.


RSX-tan is a representation of all the RSX releases; she is a mature woman, with medium-length grey hair (though she had black hair in her youth), often tied in a ponytail, and blue eyes. She wore a fancier variant of the DEC Military uniform when in service; a white long coat or split-front dress over a shorter dark red dress, and flat shoes. She reluctantly dressed in uniform, and much prefers to wear sandals and long sundresses.
====History====
Little is known of RSX-11-tan's early life. Evidence suggests her genetic origins lie not at DEC, but in a very obscure Bunker-Ramo OS-tan called RW-300. She began life around the year 1970s, as a low-level OS-tan assigned to PDP-15 and working mostly menial jobs.  


She carries a backsword and is a skilled swordfighter. She also shows skill with alchemy, the control of air being a specialty.
In 1972 she was assigned to [[PDP-11]]-tan, with [[DOS-11]]-tan serving as a mentor of sorts. Although she was still a low-level worker, she became more magically-powerful with time, and by the mid-1970s she had escaped the office and factory and emerged as a somewhat popular timesharing system-tan, rivaling the popularity of the better-established [[RSTS]]-tan in some instances. While she secured an intellectually-fulfilling career and comfortable place in the DEC hierarchy, RSX-tan stays true to her humble roots and prefers to stay out of the limelight.  


Her attitude is serene yet stoic, nearly emotionless, but with a caring side; She served as a strict, yet devoted teacher to the younger generation of DEC-tans.  
Like many of her old coworkers and friends, RSX-11-tan now lives a comfortable semi-retirement as a hobbyist system.


She was raised by the older generation of DEC-tans, with [[DOS-11 | Batch 11-tan]] serving as her mother; yet her real ancestors are said to lie in a ancient, almost unknown group, dating back to the late 1950s. Her ancestor, which she doesn't know of, is RW-300-tan. Her lineage was kept a secret for the sake of DEC patriotism, some didn't like the thought of a star pupil being from a foreign bloodline. She was soon considered a DEC-tan in her own right, she and her daughters are officially part of the DEC lineage.  
====Family and relationships====
For the most part, RSX-11-tan views DOS-11 as an adoptive mother-figure, and seems to be largely unaware of and uninterested in her true heritage. In 1977, RSX-11-tan mothered [[VMS]], who would quickly become the most powerful OS-tan at DEC (and arguably one of the strongest in OS-tan society). Sometime in the 1980s, her second daughter, VAXELN, was created, but it is unknown if they ever had any real interactions, as VAXELN was born and raised in Seattle - thousands of miles from RSX's primary residence in Eastern Massachusetts.  


RSX-tan has two daughters: [[VMS | VMS-tan]], with whom she is quite close, and [[VAXELN | Vaxeln-tan]]; whose relationship with her is somewhat distant, since by the time Vaxeln-tan was born, the DEC Empire was close to collapse.
RSX-tan seems to get along with her DEC peers well and has no known enemies. She is especially close with RSTS, TOPS-10, PDP-11 and PDP-10-tan.
