=== Background ===
The 12 Deadly Fists system is unique in that it was developed by a mortal. His name has been lost to time, for the use of his terrestrial masters in the days of the shogunate. He based it of off his belief that there were twelve natural positions for the fist and body in a combat situation. It concentrates on defense by redirection of force and anticipation of an opponents moves.

He was rewarded for his ingenuity by his Master with a failed assassination attempt. He fled using the skills he had mastered to find his freedom. Several years later the Dragon Blood caught up with his former slave, and in an unlikely turn of events the master was killed by the slaves invention and mastery of essence. Since then, the Art has been handed down from master to student, as it has been since prior to the Contagion, when the original master passed it down to his student.

Of course this little tale is an out-and-out lie. This lie was started by the true creator of this Art; a depraved little god-blooded who hated the Shogunates rise to power as well as the effect it was having on his ability to get "promoted." He devised this art, and this tale by the way, as a way to inspire the common people to revolt against the Dragon-Blooded rulers of the shogunate. Ironically the creation of this Art what did in fact get him promoted to godhood (only because a minor funtionary in the Beurau of battles wanted to see it's conclusion). This former God-blooded is now Tenbu God of the 12 deadly fists
