Thats it, enough is enough...GOIO needs...

An OS-tan 

OS-tans are anime characters for PC software. They are only ever marketed in Japan unfortunately so no one knows of them elsewhere but here is the OS-tan for Internet Explorer in a short anime: http://youtu.be/BHTUlF7NA2o

Enough is enough, we need OS-tans for the rest of the world!! GOIO would be the perfect platform to begin an invasion of all the normies who do not know the glory of OS-tans!

So discuss...what would GOIO's tan be?! What would her magical powers be? Her outfit? Something with cogs and gears I imagine.

[HamsterIV]

I want the OS-tan to have Bubble's haircut, or at least the haircut he was sporting during the kickstarter videos.

[Thomas]

Normally I'd point out that OS-tans appear to be for operating systems; but apparently some were made for programs as well.

And I imagine her powers would involve cannons. Lots of cannons.

This one girl from Symphogear uses guns: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XBAjo3OhiDU

But it isn't steampunky enough.

[Sprayer]

So it's basically a new word for mascot?

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Not mascot...Moe Mascot!

Think about it, every time GOIO loads up, she hops on screen with a cute grin and guns blazing. Then in the lobby screen she rummages for scrap metal in the destroyed ship and at times turns around to show you the grimey cog she found as if she found real treasure!

Think of the fan fiction Rethburn could write from that!!

I am suddenly against this idea.

[Keon]

Do they fight? Does FireFox-tan and Chrome-tan do battle while Safari-tan sniffs paint off in a corner?

I might watch that.

[Lord Dick Tim]

Safari would have to fight IE for the glue.

[Squidslinger Gilder]

Haha, totally.

Ya know I just had another idea. Do tans for all the GOIO ships! Sorta in a Japan power ranger/sailor moon setup!

Lets see...

Galleon: The rich girl who has everything with an over inflated ego and a snoody laugh.
Goldfish: The deredere clumsy endearing girl that carries around the biggest gun and always ends up falling over it yet saves the day half the time.
Pyra: The tsundere tough girl. Talks big and is confrontational but can never admit her true feelings...hence why she is slow when it really matters.
Junker: The dandere quiet girl. Doesn't like to run with the crowd and only talks to people when they come to her.
Spire: The yandere girl. Acts innocent and sweet. Looks frail and weak. Then gets violent and stabby when you try to approach her.
Squid: The energetic small girl. Bursting with energy, she loves to poke fun at all the other girls and is rarely caught. But when she does, they make fun of her size.
Mobula: The himedere girl. Demands love from everyone and to be treated like royalty because shes the new ship on the team. Often backfires.

[Lord Dick Tim]

GOI as Azumanga Daioh

[Squidslinger Gilder]

But they aren't in steampunky school girl outfits!

However I do approve the sinister looking cat that looks like its ready to rip faces off. Reminds me of B'Lanna

[Gryphos]

The fuck do all these Japanese words mean?

I hate you all.

I think you have the Galleon and the Goldfish mixed up. The Galleon should be large clumsy one always running into stuff yet being super effective in the few situations when being bigger is better. Where as the Goldfish should be the arrogant one driving her opponents into the ground and eventually crushing them beneath her heel.
