The Chinese Zodiacs

The Chinese Zodiacs are the twelve magical guardians of Buddha's Mystical Staff, which they use to protect and maintain the eternal cycle. Each Zodiac wields the staff for an entire year, projecting their personality to those born in that year.

The Zodiacs gather each Chinese New Year in the sacred garden, where they perform a ceremony to pass on the staff to the next Zodiac in line. When the staff is missing, they will stop at nothing to retrieve it, though no Zodiac may wield it unless it is their year.

The Zodiacs are immortal guardians, but can be killed by evil. In this case, this death will weaken the collective until a new Zodiac is selected in their place. The Zodiacs are; Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig.
