Justin+Columbus

  **Greetings. I am Christopher Columbus. I existed around the late 1400's for exploration of the unknown world. The spanish monarchy has sent me to map out various areas in the east in which i am to document my experiences and any other important prospects. Moving on, what I am really about can be simplified with glory, god, and gold. At the moment, I have set my sights on the fascinating native americans of the canary islands. An odd peoples they are, seeing as though they are bare to the point that paint is their only cover. Though they speak their native tongues and do their traditional ways, conversion should not really take so long. **   **__//  Profile:   //__ Birth- Around the mid 1400's  **  **Hometown- Originally Genoa, but Spain ended up in Spain Personality- Curious, Adventurous, a bit of avarice, but still god-fearing Influences- God, Gold, Glory Status- Single, straight** __// ** Native Americans- 1492  **// - I really do see them as a profitable peoples in which with a little persuasion conversion from their polytheisthic ways to God can be done to these savages - A quote of mine that describes my opinion of comparing us to them is,** **   “  These people are very unskilled in arms ... with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished."       -This photo of describes just what type of people that I am dealing with:**

 * __// About Me: //__ **
 * - At the moment, I am exploring the west indies in which I have encountered some peculiar people that I have labled native americans.**__
 * - They really do not seem to have any knowledg of the outside world since I accidentally cut one's hand with a sword since he did not know what one was.

//__**Interests** __// **-My goals on this journey basically falls under under trying fit the criterias of God, Gold, and Glory - God coming from me trying to to convert these village peasants from their godless ways to a way in which it would please the almighty above. It should not be too hard since they seem friendly and obedient enough as well as maybe me taking a few in order that they may learn our language. -Gold deriving from the fact that this area I am in is uncharted territory, so their could be some form of wealth to be gained from exploring the various areas. I have sent some of the better explorers to investigate. -Glory is definetely a priority since by exploring new lands means much more benefits when I come back with my discoveries. -A quote that sums up my interests is,** **  "He who has gold makes and accomplishes whatever he wishes in the world and finally uses it to send souls to paradise.”  //__ Dislikes __// - Hunger and thirst are definetely at the topmof the list when concerning my dislikes. Prior to reaching the new world, my crew and I suffered various trials of dehydration and starvation aboard the 'La Nina" caravel in which when we did find edible fruit it was described, ** **    "The crew of the caravel "Nina" also saw signs of land, and a small branch covered with berries. Everyone breathed afresh and rejoiced at these signs.” -The ungodly people of the islands in which though are sometimes peaceful, they are in the end savages in which savagery is all that they know. Those no suited to the tastes of chrsitianity are often a bother in which their labor or their death is all that can be seen as socialbly acceptable ** **//__A Short summary of my journies and such can be seen with this video: __// media type="youtube" key="-6W2RKheUrE" height="344" width="425"** //__   http://www.malaspina.org/columbusc.htm http://www.latinamericanstudies.org/columbus.htm http://www.newcriminologist.com/article.asp?cid=139&nid=407
