 * I have conquered more lands than anyone yet which means I have established one of the biggest empires, I have founded a law code, more religions are tolerated in the Mongolian Empire, I have also created unification among Mongol tribes, and I set up a horse and rider communicating system, in which communication has become faster over land.

 * My family and I lived in Mongolia with our clan. We lived in tents called yurts; our life was centered around farming and warfare with other clans. My father was poisoned when I was nine-years-old, thus leaving it up to my mother to take care of my family and I. Since we were kicked out of our clan when my father died, my mother lead us through the deserts of Mongolia, trying to survive and we ate whatever was available at the moment such as nuts, berries, and roots. We wore clothes made from mice and dog skin which kept us warm when we needed it. I learned many survival skills at that time from my mother about how to live in the grim deserts. I still live in Mongolia, ruling the Mongolian Empire.


 * =Religion= ||
 * I practice Shamanism, which is the belief in spirits and is very popular among my people. But I am also very tolerant of other religions, such as Buddhism, which the Buddha (the Enlightened One) teaches that life includes suffering. To try and ease suffering, you have to give up your desires and seek wisdom also known as enlightenment. Once you reach enlightenment, you will enter nirvana. Along with Christianity, which believes that to reach heaven, you have to follow God, and if you don't, you will end up in hell. Christianity also teaches that humans are tempted by The Devil to commit sinful acts, such as stealing and murdering. As well as Islam, which believes that there is only one God named Allah and the Qur'an is the word of God himself. Muslims also believe that there is an afterlife, but it depends on if you surrender yourself. If you do surrender yourself and follow God, you will go to heaven, but if you do not, then you will go to hell. ||

I gained the name Genghis Khan (Universal Prince) from an assembly of Mongolian chiefs. They saw great power in me and I was soon declared as the ruler of Mongolia. My people like me because I can understand what they want. I try to give them everything good and nothing bad.

__August 26, 1211__ I always want to capture land and conquer other people. I took my army of 65,000 men and we went to the Jin Empire. The Ongguts, people who lived on China's northern border, helped us easily pass into the Empire. My army and I killed and robbed people as we passed through until we came to a force of 150,000 men. This force was easily defeated by my army. I decided to split my army so more land would be conquered. We gained much more land efficiently, but I was soon hurt in a battle, leaving me to retreat back to Mongolia. Unfortunately, the Jin soon began to capture the lands we had taken from them in our invasion. //

__May 3, 1214__ I decided to create an army that was very large and could easily conquer China. My force was so large that I thought I should break the force up into 4 divisions. Each division would enter China a different way, allowing us to defeat more people. One division by itself was enough to bring terror to people because the division was so ruthless against the other people. As we went along, we scavenged the towns for anything that would be of value to us. We took silk, other valuable items, sheep, cattle, and women and children. After that, we burned the town and went to war with the army the Chinese emperor had put together to try and defend China. As we approached the Chinese, they noticed that their wives and children were at the front of our force. The army couldn't shoot us unless they killed their family. The Chinese didn't want to do that, so instead they obeyed our commands and became our slaves. ||
