Nine contestants compete for the prize as Spotty keeps the peace and order among these wacky background characters. Also, Deer got onto the show as a contestant mostly due to blackmailing his roommate Spotty, which Spotty didn’t tell his bosses of his true connection with Deer. “The Background Character Club” is a show that proves to be a hit in the ratings and makes a lot of money for the network. Being the number one show in Booktopia comes not without controversy. Loki, Hades, and other powerful fictional characters fear that a rebellion is brewing between the popular characters and the background characters. 

As Spotty films the show, he deals with hijinks like having a reluctant on again, off again relationship with Russian revolutionary Vladimir Lenin whom he woke from an eternal sleep with true love’s kiss.

Spotty is always butting heads with people at the network and fears that he may have created something that he’ll later regret.
