"Like People, all worlds die. However, the problem isn't that they are dying - it's that they are now dying unnaturally. Their timelines are being disrupted, which in turn disrupts the life upon the planet."

Vital Spark is a Original Character Tournament. It is hosted by Uno along with two other judges - Ed and Eva. The story begins with Lord Drakonius Agememnon Fortunidia Dionsian Servantilius The Third, Lord of Darkness, Master of Blood, and Emperor of Charred Souls, noticing a most unsettling event: Worlds are dying. In a most peculiar and unnatural way - leaving only a tiny spark of life. If it was only a single planet, it would be of much less dire importance. In his usual nonchalant way, Drakonius chooses a tournament as the most viable option to return the missing energy to the individual worlds - and save time and energy on his part. As seen in the Prologue, Drakonius and his colleagues Raymond, Ciro and Fiona, then take off to find contestants from worlds all across The Multiverse.

The plot then follows that if a character (or set of two characters) decide to enter the tournament, they will be granted their deepest desire - whether it be simply having extreme luck or money, to ruling a world or possibly bringing the dead back to life. Each contestant was given a Spark Gem in which to insert their powers and then promptly wisked away to the Rest House where they must remain until the end of the tournament. The only way out is through Paintings around the buildings.

Auditions Closed the 23rd of December. Round One Contestants were announced on the 7th of January. Round One will begin shortly.
