Six super-beings are vying to be the successor of an aging and senile god. The winner will be determined with a Game. The key to ultimate power is an item called the Crown, and god has hidden it on a dingy, back-water planet called Earth. Whoever finds the Crown first will win the Game; a simple, straight forward battle royal. Or it would be if not for a certain restriction: god has decreed that none of the super-beings are allowed to go to Earth themselves. If they want to get anything done, they must convince a human to do their bidding.
