Anything with the gas station idea still lingering is retarded, this place is related to zchan only in spirit, and the fact they decided to rip off some gas station for their imageboard was their own fault (it was a terrible idea to boot). Take zzzchan for what it is, not what its short-lived sister site used to be.
Anyways, I don't think a tan is necessary. 8chan didn't have one. I think personality should be added to /v/-tan, though. Something to reflect the webring and its sister sites that aren't on the webring, or the /v/ boards that don't go by /v/ (/vg/, /geimu/, etc).
If you want my suggestions on how /v/-tan should be evolved, I'd say keep his 8chan design (punished /v/-tan) but put him in a wheelchair (from all the times he's been kicked out), maybe with multiple personality disorder, with each personality corresponding to each /v/ that exists (grandpa /v/ for 8kun, weeb /v/ for /geimu/, sleepy /v/ for zzzchan, autistic nazi /v/ for /vg/, whatever). I'm sure you can fit in a reference to cloud strife from that one part in FF7 as well.
