Vector Varis is the CEO of eXceed Corp. and intends to use Leon for his ability to warp into video games.

## History

Vector is revealed that he invented the titular Meta Runner arm just like Lucks the CEO of TAS Corp.

He became an insanely popular CEO of the world renowned gaming tool production company, eXceed Corp.. He was even associated with authorities and soldiers. However, he was secretly performing illegal acts into becoming rich and powerful.

He had his own team of Meta Runners manufactured by his company, led by Jaden "Swallow" Lambert, and includes a range of people including Paul Rebellus and Celestine Anderson. He also had scientists working on other products, one of them was Dr. Juniper, the one who struggles the most.

Eventually, he discovered an explosion taken place in Juniper's lab, believing that the scientist wanted to coverup his mistakes. On the same day, Celestine disappeared.

Swallow suspected that Vector was behind her (possible) death, and hacked into his files. Swallow was eventually caught and decommissioned from eXceed Corp..

For a whole year, Vector, Paul, and his team have been fighting a rebellion led by Swallow, that consists of Leo Travis, Cassandra Mizuki and Brina Anderson, three of which's lives were "destroyed" by him.

One day, he was disappointed at Paul's failure on the speedrun tournament on Ninja Master Mania. He and Paul later discover Leon's ability to transport his conscience into video games. he orders the eXceed Corp. scientists into the room for experimentation. He attaches a controller into the game, and plays as a discoloured Tori. He tries to make conversation with Leon about his greatness, while having a tracker placed inside his Meta Runner arm. Despite putting him in pain, he chose to keep going forward, saying that pain is an obstacle.

He accidentally causes Leon to break himself out of the game and bring Tori to life. He tries to apologise to Leon, but he refuses and walks away, with Tori calling him a yokai that would be killed later. A guard attempts to block the path, only for Tori used her water element in his face.

He later tracked Leon and Tori down at The Photon, and sent Paul and a few soldiers to capture them. He drives after the transport van that holds Leon and witness Leo Travis crash his car into it. A car chase is initiated as he allows Paul to drive with a bluetooth controller. At one point, he accidentally crashes the car, much to Vector' frustration. When the police are about to get them, he contacts the police chief to call of their duty, revealing his connections to other authorities. He witnesses Leon's ability to evade a barrier of eXceed Corp. soldiers. That's where he says his famous line "I want HIM", vowing to gain Leon's power.

He later instructs Paul to find information about Grid Crimson at the laboratories, since Leon has a similar logo. Meanwhile, since he can't track Leon down anymore, he uses Tori's cartridge to hack into the latter's eyesight. Paul, traumatised, reveals to Vector the footage he found, showcasing the incident of Dr Juniper and Celestine. Later on, he finds out about the plans of Hack Breaker.

At the big Dragon Infinity competition, he had his team of Meta Runners log into the server in order to prevent Hack Breaker from performing the glitch. While the others have failed, Paul has succeeded in killing most, including Swallow. Instead of finishing Leon off like Vector asked him to, Paul removes his speaker and begins to torture and question Leon about Celestine. Later, Leon was able to fend him off and execute the glitch.

Vector turns furious to Paul's misopportunity, but later chooses a backup plan. He manages to corner the group into a circular room and has his soldiers beat them down. He bargains Swallow's life for the sake of Brina to give in her laptop, even going so far as to breaking Swallow's meta runner arm. Brina tearfully gives in the laptop, and the soldiers delete the hacked information. Paul reveals the "truth" to Brina about her sister. Vector further reveals that he used Tori as a spy. As he and his soldiers were about to have the group imprisoned, Leon offers him membership in return for his friends' freedom. Vector makes sure of this by crushing Tori's cartridge, holding the boy's conscience hostage.

It's later revealed that he has been experimenting on a person in a lab, who might be Celestine considering the feminine silhouette in the human pod.

6 months after the happenings of System Shutdown, Leon works for Vector and competes in Tournaments with Paul and the new addition Emma Skyla. Vector also has Tori on the eXceed Corp. server and works on a way to get Tori back into his game without glitches.

However, Hack Breaker is still in action with their new ally name Noah Declan, with Paul and Leon, and the show match is being chaos.

After Leon wins the Showmatch, Vector attempts to do a security check around the arena, but is tackled by Swallow, who gives him a black eye. Mercenaries find Paul in the Lab, and Vector brings Swallow and Paul into a van.

Vector is furious that Leon, Leo, Cassandra, Brina and Noah got away, and has to hold Swallow, Paul and Tori hostage to save his company from public exposure. "Everything I did, I did to protect this company" - Vector, Lockdown.

Vector attempts to kill Swallow in front of Hack Breaker, but got exposed in front of the entire people of Silica City. He later gets shot by Swallow, whose arm was hacked by Dr. Juniper.

## Goal

* To have Leon and discover his power (Succeeded)
* Defend eXceed Corp from Leon and Hack Breaker (Failed)

## Appearance

Vector is a adult with purple eyes and black hair. He wore Black Collar Shirt, graphite tie, grey sleeveless blazer, dark grey jean, black gloves, black glasses and black shoes.

## Personality

Vector is very much in control of his emotions. No matter the situation, he always speaks with an even keel whether it's giving orders or threatening a subordinate. Just beneath that, however, he possesses some strong anger issues and has no problem with making other suffer for his goals.

Vector seems to be an opportunist as he sees almost anything as an opportunity in some kind of way, and seeks to take advantage of it. This leads to moments of obsession, such as his desire to make Leon his. He doesn't care who he hurts or what gets destroyed along the way as long as it suits his goals. He does have some measure of self-restraint, taking precautions not to raise attention when possible.

It can be seen, however, that he will go to extreme lengths when necessary to achieve his goals, such as when he shoots Swallow's Meta Runner arm off, or entraps Tori in a comatose-like state after destroying his game cartridge, as 'collateral' to keep Leon loyal to eXceed Corp, and dissuade Hack Breaker from giving TAS Corp anymore trouble.

## Trivia

* He is Yusakupham7's fourth Meta Runner OC
