Characters[]
- Lone Ranger (ローン・レンジャー/ジョン・クレイ・リード): The main character, born in 1850 in Texas, is the brother of Daniel Reid and the son of Texas Ranger Captain Jackson Reid. A Texas Ranger, whose real name is John Clay Reid, was the sole survivor of a band of twelve Texas Rangers who had survived an ambush by a gang of outlaws. He wears a black domino mask to conceal his identity. Uses silver bullets as a sign of his name and a pair of ivory-handled Peacemaker pistols. He wears his Texas Ranger badge to remember the promise he made to his brother and father and to remind people that he is a lawman. He even had a passion for boxing, which made him an expert in hand-to-hand combat, and he could sometimes render a person unconscious. He is resourceful enough to use the resources around him, such as being a master of disguises that can fool anyone. He never drinks or smokes and is rarely seen without. He persists in his pursuit of justice but doesn't carry grudges against people who shoot at him. Still, despite wanting to take in criminals alive to bring them to justice, he knows that not all would willingly surrender their guns. He did kill some men, but he didn’t lose sleep because it was their choice, but he preferred to use his weapons to save lives and not take them. He is also an excellent marksman and can expertly disarm someone with a gun. He is willing to help individuals or groups of people of all kinds. He is not segregated by race, color, or nationality, whether immigrants, Native Americans, African-Americans, or even foreigners visiting the United States. Anyone on the side of the law and with good intentions, even certain outlaws, can get his help if they possess redeeming qualities. Even though he is the Lone Ranger, he rarely acknowledges it, but if someone's suspicion arises, he will show them one of his silver bullets to confirm his identity or have someone who knows him vouch for him. He is feared so much by outlaws and dishonest people that merely mentioning his name would make them shudder, and even the evilest men would run from him. Spirit animal: coyote & horse.
