/tan/ - Board-tans

/m/-tan is a robot who looks like a man in a robot suit. He appears fully covered in mostly white armor, with yellow and red accents on his helmet, right shoulderpad, short cape, etc.

/m/-tan is a remnant tan from the halfchan days, but as he was less damaged by the change in moderation leading up to the Exodus, he is far less damaged than some other legacy tans and opted for a simple dye job plastering the infinity logo on his chest, as opposed to a bigger redesign.

Little is known about /m/-tan's character, save his great love for all things mecha and his being a fervent ally of JUSTICE. He also has a pet toaster, because toasters are totally mecha.

When /m/ (the board) got to discussing whether they'd keep the old /m/-tan or design a new one, in the spirit of infinity they decided "why not both?". Thus /m/anzer was born, as a more Super Sentai-inspired tan compared to /m/-tan's Kamen Rider.

/m/anzer's design is busier compared to /m/-tan's, incorporating mainly red with lots of black, gold, and white accents. Over his ironically less armoured outfit he wears a white jacket, on his feet long black boots with gold kneecaps, and his forearms are adorned with golden spikes and wristbands. His helmet also has a sleeker design.

/m/anzer is said to be less skilled in hand-to-hand combat than /m/-tan. Speculation on his main weapon ranges from a laser gun to a giant mecha he pilots into battle.

Although /m/-tan enjoys more popularity due to his longer history, there is no consensus on which of the two tans is the "official" board-tan. It doesn't really seem to matter much either.

/m/-tan and /m/anzer have dark counterparts, the obligatory bad guys to fight on their many adventures. No info exists on them beyond them probably being the stereotypical Saturday morning cartoon villains who come up with convoluted plans and always get thwarted by the heroes.
