Lucky

The rabbit of the hour.

Lucky is a playable character in the XBox game Whacked!. He made his TCS debut in Blood Gulch Blues, played by PopcornPie.

## Role

### Blood Gulch Blues

Lucky was among the several recruits, kidnapped and transported to Blood Gulch by Doc. During the plane ride, he ends up forming a bond with Red team members Lana and Rex, as well as fellow Solo member Lealan.

Throughout the RP, Lucky is violent towards Doc, Toffee, and pretty much everyone who was already at Blood Gulch, consistently planning to massacre them.

After being put on the Solo team, Lucky reluctantly carries out his missions. He was still determined to see Lana and Rex again, and to try and escape.

In the first chapter, conversation between himself, his "squad", and Blue operatives Tucker and Tex, who were looking for intel, makes Lucky paranoid that things are being hidden from all of them. This makes him want the intel just as much as they do, and he gives himself up as a Blue prisoner.

As the story went on, however, Lucky's heart saw changes. He became more protective of his trio of friends, more softspoken, and less willing to hurt others overall. He realized this early on, and became bothered by it, believing that he was never meant to act this way.

This is where he turns tragic. Thanks to being forced to bond with all the others, Lucky found himself inadvertently avoiding conflict with any of them. Thus, he comes to believe that Doc has broken him, and that he has become too soft to survive back at home.

Finally, once the conflict of Blood Gulch Blues is resolved, Lucky breaks down completely. Because he feels that he has become too weak to head back home, he decided to move in with Lealan. He lived with her for quite a while, but one day, he stepped through a Challenge Door that glitched out, dropping him instead in the realm of Mismakora. This particular kirin boasted Barrijade, a powerful spell that could seal even the softest heart. It was right up Lucky's alley, and after passing an emotionally exhausting trial, he was granted Barrijade across his heart. Though it turned him violent and apathetic, in his mind, he was back to normal.

One year later, Lucky was called to help take down Ganondorf in Ultimate. Thanks to his unstable emotional state, the Barrijade caused little more than trouble, from making him even more irrationally violent to attempting to spread to other characters, leading Jason to chuck it out the window in Chapter 2, disposing of it for good. Lucky's changes in heart from BGB were revealed to have remained, and he performed selfless acts such as trying to comfort others during Ruby's death and trying to snap the others out of the Fear Toxin debacle in Chapter 4. Unfortunately, with new adventures come new defeats, as Scarecrow managed to take advantage of Lucky's accidental amnesia during the latter chapter to severely fuck up his mind with Fear Toxin. This periodically gave him continued delusions of everyone around him becoming a demon that lasted into the abrupt cancellation of the RP proper.

After being forced to participate (offscreen, as PopcornPie was on a forced break at the time) in an arena competition by Time Baby during Chapter 5, Samus, who was revealed to have been thrown in Time Prison with the group as she struggled to find a lost Megumin, convinced him to let her tamper with his Tesseract Watch. Thanks to her work, both the rabbit and the bounty hunter were able to sneak out of the Time Baby court and back aboard the Axiom, where they hijacked an escape pod and flew after Megumin.

Unfortunately, Thatguy was banned from RPN shortly after this point. The TCS timeline collapsed, taking the rabbit down with it. What happened to him or his soul remains unknown, but it's possible that he was spared by the kitsunes, like Megumin.

### Positive

Lupe

Lupe was the imaginary friend Lucky conjured up inside Caboose's mindscape. He called her his "mind assistant", and she served as a voice of reason for the rabbit throughout BGB and Ultimate. Unfortunately, as Lucky's mind was attacked by the happenings of Ultimate, Lupe found herself struggling to survive. Seeing as Lucky's fate is unknown, hers is also unknown by extension.

#### Lana

Right off the bat, Lucky felt attracted to Lana. When Double Trouble started talking to her, Lucky became upset, when made Lana sympathetic. This made Lucky quite happy, and he immediately took his chance. When he discovered how innocent Lana was, to the point where she didn't even know what war was, he was horrified. When he spoke to Rex for the first time, he confessed that he was overcome with desire to be her knight in shining armor.

Shortly before the plane landed, Lucky found out about Lana's rival, Benedict, and immediately jumped to her rescue. He escalated into a chaotic brawl with Benedict, only stopping when he was reprimanded.

When Lana was guided off to the Red team base, Lucky was saddened, wishing her luck under his breath. He still tried to protect her, angrily telling Toffee that he would not do anything that involved harming her.

His thoughts kept floating back to the idea of her, Rex, or Lealan being hurt. At the beginning of chapter one, Lucky actually does a decent job at hiding in the air ducts, until Luffy accidentally fires a gun. Because he wasn't able to see what had happened, Lucky believed that someone he cared about was hurt, and he revealed his position by madly scrambling to escape the ducts.

In the farewell note, Lucky finally confesses to Lana that he wanted to be her knight in armor, and laments that he wasn't able to be strong for her.

In Ultimate, Lucky revealed to Samus that he still thinks about Lana, Rex, and Lealan consistently. He told her that he had no idea how someone as innocent as Lana could turn out to be so much stronger than him.

#### Rex

Rex approached Lucky first, and they quickly started up a conversation. Lucky was surprised when Red considered him a friend, and it led him to a minor breakdown about how he never saw himself as having friends.

Right before the plane landed, Rex told the other three that he could be called upon for anything, even though they ended up on different teams.

In the farewell note, Lucky tells Rex that he recoiled positively when Rex called him a friend, and that he thanks him for keeping him in a place of sanity.

##### Lealan

Lealan did not approach Lucky at all initially, instead bothering Rex. Despite this, Lucky took a liking to her, even rooting for her when she briefly joined in the fight against Benedict and Josh.

The bonding between them could continue when it was revealed that Lealan had also been placed on Solo Team.

When Lealan returns to the red base after being shot by Caboose, Lucky immediately expresses concern for her wellbeing.

In the farewell letter, Lucky thanks Lealan for her help, even if he didn't thank her upfront, and promises to watch over her crew.

In Ultimate, Lucky revealed to Samus that he still thinks about Lana, Rex, and Lealan consistently.

#### Luffy

Right after the beginning of chapter one, Lucky makes a fourth friend in Luffy. After Toffee releases them from the plane, Luffy immediately follows Lucky, much to the rabbit's annoyance as he was trying to get to the Red base as quickly as possible. Further to his annoyance is Luffy calling him a squirrel, and Lucky swiftly corrects him. (Notably, Lucky doesn't insult Luffy over it) Lucky also remembers hearing Luffy complain about losing his powers on the plane, and tries using it as a springboard for conversation. They break up shortly after, however, with Luffy converging with the Red team, and Lucky deciding to take some time to himself in the air ducts.

When Luffy accidentally fires his gun, the paranoid Lucky is led to believe that one of his three friends was shot, and scrambles through the air ducts to find the shooter. After the truth is told, Lucky becomes furious with Luffy for spooking him, but calms down upon learning that it was an accident. With being their knight on his mind, Lucky is easily persuaded to join the team Luffy was pulling together.

##### Megumin

Lucky briefly got to know Megumin when she buddied up with Rex in the first chapter. Though they didn't speak to each other a lot, Lucky at least tried to comfort her when she was moping about her lost Explosion.

##### Umbra

When Blue operatives Tex, Tucker, and Umbra invade the Red Base in the first chapter, Lucky is initially hostile, only for the Tucker to explain that they simply want intel. Through the conversation, Lucky realizes that even the "locals" are having things hidden from them as well, and reluctantly decides to make himself a Blue prisoner in order to help them find answers. This puts him in the captivity of Umbra, who, like the others, immediately start calling him a friend. This greatly distresses Lucky, but he resigns himself to the warframe's friendship, figuring that it's too late to resist making friends now.

#### In Ultimate, Samus appears in the Time Prison. Because of their equal worry over Megumin, Samus decided to get Lucky to help her find her apprentice. She managed to desynchronize his Tesseract Watch, allowing them both to sneak out of the Time Baby's realm and back onto the Axiom, where they hijacked an escape pod to search for her. Since the timeline collapsed soon after, however, nothing else was able to come of their relationship. (Not here in TCS, anyway)

##### Double Trouble

Lucky got huffy at D.T. for beating him to Lana, but they did not have much significant interaction beyond that.

##### Biggie Cheese

Lucky did not pay Biggie much heed, either. He did, however, applaud for him after his big rap with Josh, citing this as another piece of evidence that he is going soft.

In the farewell note, Lucky admits that he didn't take time to bond with Biggie, but he hopes to look for his next single.

##### Captain Falcon

Lucky seemed to take a liking to Captain Falcon, even though they didn't have much interaction.

##### Pearl

Lucky and Pearl had a brief clash aboard the plane, with both of them threatening violence against each other. Pearl, however, seemed to show concern for the rabbit as paranoia took him over.

##### Benedict and Josh

Benedict proved to be a thorn in his side aboard the plane, angering Lucky to the point where he created a chaotic brawl for Lana's honor. Technically, Lucky started the fight by biting Josh when he tackled her.

In the farewell note, Lucky states that, without his pride, he doesn't know what he feels about Benedict anymore. He admits that the fight with Benedict was the only time he really felt like himself again, and thanks him for it.

###### Doc

Lucky came to LOATHE Doc, continuously threatening him with violence. At the same time, however, he felt that Doc was responsible for breaking him, and that Doc is, secretly, incredibly powerful.

He blamed Doc for all his mental misfortune, all up to the very end. In the farewell note, of course, he seems to stick it to Doc one more time, telling him that he hopes he dies horribly...he thinks. Thanks to Doc, he writes, he isn't even sure if he can think violent thoughts anymore. With a written sigh, he confesses that, knowing they were both tricked, he no longer feels violence towards him anyway, and that he is actually rather pleasant.

###### Blood Gulch operatives (red team in particular)

In Chapter 2 of Ultimate, Lucky was shown to hold a grudge against his former commanders, and attacked Sarge and Grif when they appeared outside the academy.

After they worked together to take down Cobblepot, however, Lucky admitted that the two were alright when they were working together on the same level, as opposed to Lucky being a task boy for the two.

## In Canon

Lucky is one of seven (later eight, after completing the game) playable "contestants" in Whacked!. Representing the Deadly Sin of Wrath, Lucky had his paws cut off in a good luck charm factory, and spent his life hunting them down. He merely loathes everyone, but especially becomes rivals with the embodiment of Envy, a chubby Canadian bird named Eugene.

If Lucky was not played as, then he is burned to death with the others right before the final boss. (He is never explicitly shown burning, however, no matter which character is played) If he is played as, his ending entails him receiving his prize: the Paw of Death, a mechanical rabbit's foot that also serves as a machine gun. Lucky is last seen using it to blast away wooden cutouts of Whacked!'s host, Van Tastic, presumably for all eternity.

## Trivia
