Loads And Loads Of Characters is no longer a trope

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: 34 is only the beginning. Considering not only Vocaloid's expansive cast, but also the overflowing UTAU crew, the fan characters, and other characters like FL-chan, (not to mention the fact that nearly every chapter introduces a new character, usually one more than one) it's more than likely that you'll have lost count by the end.

''Device of Life'' is a [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/Vocaloid Vocaloid]] and [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Music/UTAU [=UTAU=]]] fanfiction written by author mpuppy4. It centers around Hatsune Miku, Kasane Teto, and Akita Neru, who live in the computerized city of "Silicon's Gate". The story tells of their lives as different subspecies of "loid", as well as the lives of their friends. It consists mostly of Humor and Slice of Life at the moment, but the author warns that things may get a bit edgier later on.
There are currently 7 chapters and 31,531 words in total. 34 characters have made appearances and 4 others have been mentioned.
The story can be read on [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12237783/1/Device-of-Life [=FanFiction.net=]]] and [[http://archiveofourown.org/works/8560837/chapters/19625470 ArchiveOfOurOwn]].

!! ''Device of Life'' provides examples of:
* AffectionateNickname: Gumi calls Miku "princess". She's not the only character to call Miku this, but Gumi does so most often.
* AmicableExes: Miku and Kaito. Rin pokes fun at this in chapter 3.
* ChainsawGood: Depending on who you ask. Yukari would probably tell you that it's very good.
* {{Crossdresser}}: Namine Ritsu.
* CurtainsMatchTheWindow: All three of the main characters, among others.
* EmotionlessGirl: Defoko, who speaks in monotone, never reacts to anything, has a really creepy blank stare, and overall is completely indifferent about everything.
* FollowTheLeader: ''Device of Life'' seems to take several cues from the comic series ChibiMikuSan. Examples of this include FL-chan's occupation and clumsiness, Rin and Len's love of video games, the friendship between Miku, Teto, and Neru, and just about everything surrounding Chiptune (aside from his name).
* FireBreathingWeapon: Gumi owns a flamethrower, which she apparently and inexplicably mistook for a [[{{Understatement}} normal welding tool.]]
* FriendlyRival: Miku and Teto. Despite being the heads of rivaling loid entertainment groups (the ''Vocaloids'' and the ''[=UTAU=]loids,'' respectively), they consider themselves best friends.
* GenkiGirl: Kasane Teto, downplayed.
* GentleGiant: Yokune Ruko, standing at 6"5, is rather quiet, helpful, and friendly to those around her.
* {{Hermaphrodite}}: Yokune Ruko, who is officially stated to be "90% male and 10% female" despite being referred to by female pronouns.
* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Akita Neru.
* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: 34 is only the beginning. Considering not only Vocaloid's expansive cast, but also the overflowing UTAU crew, the fan characters, and other characters like FL-chan, (not to mention the fact that nearly every chapter introduces a new character, usually one more than one) it's more than likely that you'll have lost count by the end.
* MismatchedEyes: Yokune Ruko. One is red and the other is blue.
** Also Utatane Piko. One is light blue and the other is green.
* PhoneaholicTeenager: Akita Neru hardly ever parts from her cell.
* PunnyName: The city that the story takes place in, "Silicon's Gate", is a [[StealthPun pun]] on Bill Gates, co-founder of Microsoft, who has ties to Silicon Valley.
** There's also [=Nico=]Tube, the social media website that Iroha and Miki use, which is a very obvious fusion of NicoNicoDouga and YouTube.
* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Or in this case, AI in general. Literally everybody in the story is an AI, and they function mostly the same as humans. They eat, sleep, drink, get hungry and thirsty, and grow fatigued after exerting themselves.
* SelfProclaimedLoveInterest: Gumi seems quite confident that Miku will one day return her romantic affections.
* ShuttingUpNow: Momone Momo, in chapter 6, makes an accidental comment about Miku that earns a StunnedSilence. She then delivers an equivalent to this line before attempting to flee the scene.
-->'''Momo:''' Uh... yeah, I'll go die now, goodbye...
* SiblingYinYang: Though not technically siblings, Rin and Len exemplify this. Rin is snarky, sarcastic, and demanding, while Len is a more reserved pushover and ButtMonkey. Aside from appearance, the only things they really have in common are their laziness and musical talent.
* StalkerWithACrush: In chapter 6, [[spoiler: Gumi hacks Miku's phone, reads her texts, and stalks her to Defoko's house. She then waits for hours outside of Defoko's house for Miku to come out (note that Gumi and Defoko are complete strangers). Gumi does all of this purely in the interest of getting on Miku's nerves.]]
* TeamPet: Miku's dog "Chiptune".
* {{Tomboy}}: Gumi.
** She's loud, rough, playful, and an impulsive flirt, often to the annoyance of Miku. She's also homosexual.
* {{Tsundere}}: Literally a central part of Neru's official character description. She tends to run more hot than cold.
** Notably, a bit of tsun also runs through Miku when she's around Gumi.
* VerbalTic: Nekomura Iroha (said by the author to have a "Meowth accent") has a few. She shortens "-ing" words to "-in'", says "dis" and "dat" instead of "this" and "that", and adds a Y into words that begin with N (ex. "nyincompoop"). She also says "yo" a lot.
-->'''Iroha:''' Yo, nyow we can get dat [[FireBreathingWeapon flamethrower]] workin'!
* WingedHumanoid: SF-A2 Miki has mechanical wings in her back that are revealed by pressing the star-shaped button on her chest.
* {{Yandere}}: Sukone Tei, kind of.
* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Miku, Teto, Kaito, Luka, Gumi... Does this even count if they're robots?
