This is an adventure seed.
The basic idea is this. There are 12 different Chinese Talismans out there. Each Talisman is based on the Chinese Zodiac and each grants a power. Their purpose is to transform the character into a God-Dragon (Dragons And Gods pg 223), There is only one place this can be done and that is at the Emperor's tomb in China. There is only one time this can be done, and that is during the galactic alignment that happens every 26,000 years. So the next time this can happen is on December 12th, 2012. They are all consumed in the process as their power is needed for the transformation. The transformation releases an explosion that destroys everything, even MDC structures within a four mile radius.
Each talisman has a curse. Each use of each Talisman does 1d6 damage to the user.
The 12 talismans are as follows:
Shu (rat): Adhesion,
Niu (ox): Supernatural strength,
Hu (Tiger): See Invisible
Tu (Rabbit): Heightened sense of hearing
Long (dragon): Chi Gung (Body Hardening Excercise, Ninjas & Superspies pg 117)
She (Snake): Alter Physical Body
Ma (horse): Sonic Speed
Yang (goat): Extraordinary Physical Beauty
Hou (monkey): Karmic Power
Gou (dog): Heightened Sense Of Smell
Rooster: Wingless flight
Zhu (pig): Multiple Beings/Selves
Each power can be used in addition to any other powers or supernatural abilities a character may possess so these have the potential of turning any one into a powerhouse.
And that is why they're sought after.
The main antagonist is a character who an an 8th level Ancient Master, one Kai Jin. He runs a martial arts school, the most powerful school in all of China. His agents scour the world for any news of the talismans.
Still to come: Kai Jin, his school, and the heroes who oppose him.
