Tari is notable for making an Early-Bird Cameo in the creators' flagship SMG4 series to drum up interest in the then-unannounced show, albeit as a more cartoonish version of herself who is bad at everything except video games. With nowhere else to go, Tari joins MD-5 in their mission to take down Lucks-and possibly discover who, or what, she really is. On the run from Lucks and his top Meta Runner, Belle Fontiere, Tari and Theo soon find themselves tangled up in the affairs of MD-5, a trio out to expose TAS Corp's corrupt practices. However, Derek Lucks, the head of local megacorporation TAS Corp, has his own plans for Tari and her abilities, especially after he sees her pull a game character, the platformer protagonist Theo, into the real world. At the center of the story is Tari, an amnesiac girl who wakes up in an abandoned lab with a Meta Runner arm attached, and soon discovers she has the odd ability to enter the games she plays, allowing her to master them in ways unparalleled by other gamers. The series takes place in Silica City, a society centered around video games where Meta Runners-individuals who've replaced their arms with machines to boost their gaming performance-dominate the competitive scene. Meta Runner is a CG animated web series created by Kevin and Luke Lerdwichagul (the latter better known as SMG4) and the first fully-animated series made by their studio, Glitch Productions.
