Bio: The circumstances on Jangar’s birth are somewhat unusual. His father was Ujung Aldar Khan of Bomba, his mother was a woman from another tribe; the two had tried for a child for two years unsuccessfully, they tried various medicines and cures but nothing worked and eventually sought the advice of a herdsman who had 19 children. They called the herdsman in and he explained his secret: when the horses began to rut, he and his wife would watch them mate, then go mate themselves. Promising to reward the herder if the trick worked, Ujung Aldar Khan agreed to try it.
The couple secretly stole out to the steppe and hid behind a large rock so that they could watch a stallion and mare mate. Afterwards, they returned to their palace and tried for a child. The trick worked, and several months later it became apparent that Urmaa was pregnant. Ujung Aldar Khan sent the herdsman 100 cows as a reward. Urmaa was pregnant for 10 months, but could not give birth. When she finally did give birth, it was to a strange red mass. Ujung Aldar ordered a servant to throw it out, but then a voice cried from within, "I'm suffocating! Let me out of here!" They tried to cut the red mass open with a sword, but the sword merely chipped. Master Choirom came and recommended that they use Sword given by the Jade Emperor, and with this sword they were able to cut the red mass and free the large baby boy within. The baby's skin had auspicious markings: a red mole and a birthmark on his butt. The child was strong and kicked his leather swaddling cloths to pieces, making Urmaa afraid that her son was ill-fated to cause destruction. She begged Ujung Aldar to let the child die, but he appreciated his son's strength and refused. The tribe celebrated the baby's birth together.
Ujung Aldar became so preoccupied with his new son that he began to neglect the affairs of the tribe, particularly the defenses. A Manggus, or devil, called Goljing had long been an enemy of Bomba. Seeing Ujung Aldar's weakness, he attacked with 10,000 warriors on black horses and easily captured Bomba. Ujung Aldar Khan and his wife and son were besieged in their palace. Seeking to save his son's life, Ujung Aldar put a piece of white jade in his son's mouth, placed him on the horse Aranjagaan, and sent his servant Menhbayar to take the child to safety. He also gave the servant the Aram spear, a weapon that had been passed down for generations. Then Ujang Aldar fought the invaders until he and his wife were cut down.
The servant took the child to Big Black Mountain and hid him in a cave, then walked back to the palace to see what had happened. Discovering everything destroyed and the Khan dead, he decided to take his revenge by attacking some of the invaders as they sat around a fire. He killed one of them, but was soon killed himself. In the mountain cave, the boy sucked the white jade to keep himself from growing hungry or thirsty for a few days. But eventually he began to cry. A man named Mengen Xigxirge was hunting nearby, and he noticed the horse Aranjagaan grazing. Wanting to see what the horse was doing there, he went closer, and heard the baby crying. He followed the noise and discovered the cave. At first Mengen Xigxirge wanted to adopt the boy, so he decided to give him the name "Jangar." The boy immediately agreed that this should be his name and declared that he would become master of the world. This frightened Mengen Xigxirge, who was worried that Jangar might dispossess his own son, Hongor. So he decided to leave Jangar there with some food and water and left.
Jangar went outside and roared, and all the animals living nearby came to see what the noise was. He befriended them and they fed him and taught him their skills. She-wolves suckled him, and deer brought him fruit. He learned to roar from a tiger, to hunt from an eagle, and to run from an antelope. Jangar lived in the wild for two years, soon attaining the age of three.
One day an old man appeared while Jangar was sitting under a tree. The man told him about what had happened to his parents and trained him in martial arts and magic. But no sooner had Jangar learned these things than he woke up—it was morning, and it had all been a dream. Nonetheless, he felt strong, and discovered that he could uproot a tree and smash a camel-sized rock with it. He mounted Aranjagaan and went home to kill Goljing.
Three-year-old Jangar fought his way to Goljing's palace, destroying three strongholds on the way, and thrust his spear into the Manggus' chest, killing him. Then Jangar climbed up on the roof of the palace and called back all the people who had fled after the invasion. He became Khan and Bomba flourished again.
Meanwhile, another ruler named Shar Durdeng began raiding the outskirts of Bomba for livestock, women and children. Jangar was upset, and the three-year-old Khan took up his spear and rode alone to face his new enemy. To reach Shar Durdeng's palace, Jangar had to fight for seven months and 19 days. He overthrew four strongholds, and finally reached the crystal palace by the sea where his enemy dwelt. He snuck inside and found everyone drunk. Taking hold of the intoxicated Shar Durdeng, Jangar threw him off his throne, and proceeded to break ribs and spinal bones until Shar Durdeng agreed to leave Bomba in peace and pay taxes and tribute. By the age of five, Jangar had defeated five Mangguses and quintupled the size of the Bomba's territory.

Noble Phantasm:
Name: Aram Spear
Title: The Spear that protects Bomba
Rank: B
NP Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: 1-20
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: A weapon passed down the line of Khan’s for generations; carried by Jangar’s father, his grandfather and those before them, the spear carries the aspirations and desires of Jangar’s ancestors to found and create a place where no suffering or pain exists. The nation of Bomba was that place, founded by Jangar’s grandfather, destroyed by his father’s negligence and resurrected and protected by Jangar throughout his life; it is a place where there are no orphans or widows, where no one grows old and is remembered today both as a golden age and as a land of the future the people of Mongolia continue to aspire towards.
As the Khan and protector of Bomba, Jangar wielded the Aram Spear in its defence many times and against many foes, as did his ancestors before him and his descendants after him. The Aram Spear has been a constant throughout the entirety of the kingdom’s history, no matter who the current Khan is or what befalls them; it is the symbol of the Khan and the defender of Bomba. Bomba will continue to exist as long as this spear and its defender exist to protect it. This long history has given rise to the Aram Spear as a conceptual weapon which sublimates its myth into an ability that protects the wielder from death; Bomba will exist as long as the wielder of this spear lives, and the wielder of this spear will live as long as he holds this spear. This effect fortifies the user against death itself making even great wounds a negligible factor. Healing abilities will also have their efficiency drastically raised. It is particularly useful against status effects, and grants resistance alongside advantageous checks to resist or clear them each turn.
By activating the true name of this spear Jangar is able to establish a territory that will be designated as the new Bomba wherever he is standing in a radius around him. This removes the Aram Spears protections as a conceptual weapon and instead brings that protection across a wider area; any citizen of Bomba, which in this case includes the Khan and anyone the Khan considers a citizen, will be protected while standing within the borders of Bomba established by this effect. This protection acts as the passive ability of the Noble Phantasm albeit at reduced power.
Even without taking its powers into account it is a monstrous weapon; twelve feet in length, as wide around the haft as a small tree and with a weight to match, the Aram Spear requires superhuman strength to even lift, let alone wield effectively, and crushes those it is used against as much as it pierces them.
Name: White Jade
Title: Stone of Purification and Healing
Rank: C
NP Type: Anti-Unit (Self)
Range: N/A
Maximum Number of Targets: 1
Description: When the Manggus Goljing attacked Bomba, Jangar’s father Ujung Aldar Khan sought to save his son’s life by sending him away. He placed a piece of white jade in his son’s mouth, placed him on the red steed Aranjagaan and sent him away with his servant Menhbayar to take the child to safety. He also gave the servant the Aram spear, a weapon that had been passed down for generations. Then Ujang Aldar fought the invaders until he and his wife were cut down.
The servant took Jangar to Big Black Mountain and hid him in a cave before returning to Bomba to find out what had happened. The jade sustained Jangar for several days, keeping him from feeling hunger or thirst. Years later, when Jangar was fighting the archer Altan Gheej and was struck by his arrow, Jangar placed the same piece of white jade in his mouth to stave off the poison it carried.
The White Jade is an item given to Jangar by his father as a child to keep him safe. It is abundant in healing and purifying energy and was used by Jangar several times during his life to keep himself alive or to fight off harmful effects, whether that is poison or even starvation. When this Noble Phantasm in placed in the owners mouth it boosts their natural healing abilities, allowing them to recover from wounds faster than they would otherwise, and grants extra resistance against the effects of poison or other harmful substances.
