Lucks

Lucks is the main antagonist of the 2019 Glitch Productions science fiction-animated webseries Meta Runner.

Biography
Prior to the events of the series, Lucks invented the titular Meta Runner devices. Gamers who wished to improve their skills sacrificed their limbs for the Meta Runners. As such, Lucks had made a name for himself, establishing TASCorp. Having a rivalry with another rival company, Lucks sought to empower TASCorp in anyway possible. In the first episode, Lucks is introduced watching Belle Fontiere, his representative for TASCorp, play a game of Simple Flip Island only to miss the goal and fall into the volcano below.

Sometime after the poor performance, Lucks is informed that a girl named Tari was playing the game until she froze up. Without any warning, Tari appears on the screen the game was being projected on, revealing that she had somehow transferred her consciousness into the game. Intrigued, Lucks sends for his scientists to investigate.

In the second episode, Lucks discusses with Belle the possibilities that Tari's gift could have for their company, which Belle bluntly tells him that she'd be the first one to leave if that was the future of gaming. After the scientists install a hacking device, Lucks uses an avatar to enter the game, which resembled the main character of Simple Flip Island Theo/Coconut Boy. He introduces himself to Tari, explaining his interest in her special gift. In the real world, Lucks' scientists began to conduct experiments on Tari's metallic arm inciting excruciating pain in Tari from the game. Tari's veins start to glow a shade of blue, and Belle tries to convince Lucks to call off the experiment because it was plausibly killing the girl. Lucks refuses, accepting it as progress, only to get blown back when a surge of energy escapes as Tari returned to her body. She had also unwittingly brought Theo into the real world as well.
