History Webcomic / Pilot

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The number of characters only grows larger and larger over time. The characters page lists about forty or so. A fan's count shows that there are over four hundred characters that have been mentioned/designed/otherwise shown.
** As of 2017, the character count has reached close to one '''thousand''' publicly known characters, with still more rumored to not yet be revealed. The author's love of making side characters to avoid burnout on the main comic has become a meme in the fanbase.

''Pilot'' is a webcomic made by Website/{{Tumblr}} user Creator/{{Mx Bones}}. The idea for Pilot was first had several years ago, but it was shelved. After their ''VideoGame/FiveNightsAtFreddys'' AU shut down, Bones brought Pilot back with reworked versions of the AU's characters.

Bones started stockpiling dozens and dozens of pages before releasing the comic, so that it wouldn't be too stressful to try and keep up with Pilot's once-a-week updates. After a few months of this, the comic began... and got to page 3 before computer problems deleted all the pages that had been finished. Due to real-life issues getting in the way, Pilot was on hiatus for several months, but as of September 2016, it seems to be on a semi-regular schedule again.

* FantasticRacism: Robots tend to be subject to this a lot.
** Especially the Objectheads, since the OB Mafia is made up entirely of them. WordOfGod said that people get nervous around them even when they're just standing around.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The number of characters only grows larger and larger over time. The characters page lists about forty or so. A fan's count shows that there are '''over four hundred''' characters that have been mentioned/designed/otherwise shown.
** As of 2017, the character count has reached close to one '''thousand''' publicly known characters, with still more rumored to not yet be revealed.
* NonHumanHead: The Objectheads have technology in place of actual heads. [=TVs=] are the most common, though radios and iPhones aren't unheard of.

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: Pretty much all robots in Pilot fall under this. Not in appearance, but in ''personality'' - if you were to interact with a robot without seeing its face, you would likely be unable to guess if what you were talking to was human or not. As Artman proves, they're advanced enough to even [[SexBot have sex drives and sexual orientations, as well.]]
* ShowWithinAShow: Numerous. Most of them are made by the fictional game company Lethal Grimalkin Productions (often just called LGP for short), though there are others made by other companies.
** According to Deo, most of the fictional games are other ideas for other comics that they had. They connect these ideas to Pilot so that they don't lose interest with it while they slowly redraw the lost pages.
* ThreeLawsCompliant: Asimov's three laws of robotics exist in the world of Pilot. The OB Mafia's entire existence makes it clear that not all robots are bound by them.
** Some doodles imply that robots aren't physically prevented from breaking them, but will be tracked down and shut off if they break the three laws.
* TwentyMinutesIntoTheFuture: Pilot is set in 2025. The most notable change in the world is that of the creation of advanced AI and robotics - robots are now commonplace, as well as having (apparently) full citizenship. Blank AIs can be obtained by the average citizen through unknown means, and then custom-tailored to fit their needs.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The number of characters only seems to be growing. The Characters page has around forty or so of them, but it's nowhere near everyone. Dozens more have been introduced but not added.
** It's not just dozens more - an official count by a fan shows that there are '''''364''''' characters who have been mentioned, as well as a lot more who haven't been shown to the public yet.

* ShowWithinAShow: Numerous. The full list was so long that it had to be put in a folder.

Pilot is a webcomic made by Tumblr user DapperDeoxys. Pilot was first started several years ago, but was scrapped. The project was shelved for an unknown amount of time, but was revived by Dapper after their Five Nights at Freddy's AU was shut down, using reworked versions of several characters.

[[folder: In-Universe Works]]

Keep in mind that Night Terror was split off into its own page, [[Webcomic/NightTerror here]]. It wasn't forgotten, it was just too long to put here.

The first game of note is Radiocative, a game about a radioactive mutant cat who destroys a city [[ItAmusedMe because she feels like]]. Radiocative is immune to most forms of damage, but clean water is extremely dangerous to her. It, too, was popular enough to get a sequel.

Radiocative 2 has more story compared to the original, while still retaining the gameplay from the original. In the second game, Radiocative is now opposed by government-created radioactive animals, known as the Alkalics. However, Radiocative now has new allies in the form of the Acidics, who were also house pets like her prior to being mutated.

Time-Line is yet another of these games, about a woman named Desdemona and her many adventures through time. The game switches between both her present self (a college student), and a past version of herself (a knight). Desdemona's trying to destroy an ancient, cursed artifact that's causing all this temporal madness to save the world.

Cieplus+'s Adventure has been mentioned, but is rather undeveloped compared to the other games. It's about a very hungry centipede who wants to eat a bunch of blob villagers. All of these games were made by the in-universe company Lethal Grimalkin Productions.

The next of their games is Cycle, a puzzle game built around music. Cycle is split into three different types of levels: Speed, Puzzle, and Action. Speed plays somewhat like a AutoScrollingLevel, forcing you to race against the clock (or in this case, music) to reach the end of the stage. In Puzzle, you have to solve several music-based puzzles to reach the end, with faster music meaning you have less time, and slower music meaning the puzzle is more difficult. The last gameplay type is Action, where you must fight against several anti-music enemies, all on your way to defeat the BigBad, Static. The game can also use data from other LG Productions games to unlock more content (for example, having Night Terror would allow you to use several songs from its soundtrack, as well as unlocking a Vince model). Cycle has its own blog [[http://cycleconcept.tumblr.com here]], which goes more in-detail about the game's mechanics.

The last of their known games is Edgelord, a game about Edge, a [[RatedMForManly hypermasculine]] MartyStu. After his parents die (a fact he doesn't seem too upset about, given that he hated them. Though it doesn't really stop him from telling ''everyone'' he meets about it), he goes on a grand adventure to save the world. He's not alone on his quest, however; Edge is assisted by Ms. Milk, a [[BuxomIsBetter buxom woman]] who [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext keeps the entire game's inventory between her breasts]]. He also has another traveling companion, in the form of Father Figure, who [[OnlySaneMan appears to be the only character who knows how over-the-top and ridiculous everything is.]] This game is notable for playing straight several tropes that, by the time Pilot takes place, have been {{Dead Horse Trope}}s for ''decades''. Compared to LG Production's other games, Edgelord's reception has been more mixed. Some see it as a hilarious parody, while others see it as a lazy rehash of tropes that died for a reason. [[TakeAThirdOption And there are those who are neutral, and just like the gameplay.]]

Aside from the games, there are also a few TV shows in Pilot as well. The first of these was Bub Chucks, a Wipeout-like game where contestants would go through an obstacle course, facing foam props and fake 'death traps'. The hosts were two robots, the titular Bub and Chucks. After an [[{{Understatement}} unfortunate accident]] [[KillEmAll that resulted in some of the contestants being injured]], it was shut down, and Bub and Chucks went into hiding.

The second of these shows is the Deja and Nova Show, about two aliens, known as Echofaes, who came to Earth to escape being killed. Deja impersonates a college science teacher using his advanced alien technology, and must try to adapt to Earth's weirdness. While it's mostly an upbeat comedy, it has the occasional sad moment or dark episode. Ultimately, Deja and Nova became popular enough to be renewed for a second season, which presumably either hasn't aired yet or is still very new. Unlike Bub Chucks, the Deja and Nova Show is actually animated and not live-action.

DapperDeoxys started stockpiling dozens and dozens of pages before releasing the comic, so that it wouldn't be too stressful to try and keep up with Pilot's once-a-week updates. After a few months of this, the comic began... and got to page 3 before computer problems deleted all the pages that had been finished. Due to real-life issues getting in the way, Pilot is on hiatus until December of 2015. Doodles are still put on Dapper's [[http://deoxyrebornicleic.tumblr.com main blog]], which go more in-detail about the various side characters.

* ArtificialLimbs / ElectronicEyes: With the rise of robot parts came prosthetic limbs far more precise than what we have today. Robotic arms, legs, and even eyes are a very common sight, with several characters having them.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: At the time of writing, there are currently forty [[CastOfSnowflakes fleshed-out]] characters[[note]]Though Russel, Nugget, and Matty have yet to be added. Dozens more have been mentioned, but given few doodles and little attention [[/note]], and that's not counting everyone from the in-universe works.

* TVHeadRobot: The Objectheads have these in place of actual heads.
* UncannyValley: Most robots subvert it, either by being advanced enough to have detailed facial features, or by being obviously robotic. However, suit-less Pilot falls squarely into this trope.
