Bass Reeves (1838 –1910) was a runaway slave, gunfighter, farmer, scout, tracker, and deputy U.S. Marshal. He spoke several languages including Cherokee and Creek. Bass was one of the first African-American deputy U.S. Marshals west of the Mississippi River mostly working in the rough Indian Territory. The region was saturated with horse thieves, cattle rustlers, gunslingers, bandits, swindlers, and murderers. Bass made more than 3,000 arrests in his lifetime, only killing fourteen men in the line of duty.

Bass was born into slavery in Crawford County, Arkansas. His family were slaves belonging to Arkansas state legislator William Steele Reeves. During the American Civil War, his owners fought for the Confederacy. At some point, Bass escaped and fled to Indian country where he learned American Indian languages, customs, and tracking skills. He eventually became a farmer. By 1875, Bass was hired as a deputy U.S. Marshal along with 200 other individuals. He was 37 years old. Bass was well acquainted with the Indian territory and served on their land for over 32 years as a peace officer covering over 75,000 square miles, presently known as Oklahoma.

Bass encountered some of the most ruthless outlaws of his day. His weapons of choice were the Winchester Models 1873 and 1892. They were guns that conveniently fit dual-purpose handgun/rifle cartridges. He also briefly used the Colt 45 peacemaker. He tracked and killed notorious outlaw Jim Webb. Webb murdered over eleven people. Another notorious desperado Bass encountered was murderer and horse thief Wiley Bear. Bass rounded him up along with his gang which included John Simmons and Sam Lasly. Bass was also in a gunfight with the Creek desperado Frank Buck whom he shot and killed.

Bass was immortalized in the popular media including TV shows, films, novels, poems, and books. He was also inducted into the Texas Trail of Fame. A bronze statue of Reeves was erected in Pendergraft Park in Fort Smith, Arkansas and the Bass Reeves Memorial Bridge in Oklahoma, was named after the legendary lawman.

Bass Reeves is held by many to be the original Lone Ranger. He worked for 32 years as a federal peace officer in the Indian Territory, and became one of Judge Parker's most valued deputies. Reeves brought in some of the most dangerous criminals of the time, but was never wounded, despite having his hat and belt shot off on separate occasions.

MEANWHILE IN THE KINGDOM OF VERMILLION: There are only three people who know that Crimsonheart is secretly the Twin Brother of Princess Ruby, and all of them are currently on this balcony. 
I've decided going forward I am just gonna name this comic after Liege, who is the protagonist, but it's really awkward for that decision to have come into fruition during a time where Liege is "Sir Not Appearing On These Pages In Person".

please tell us about your different Ghost OCs
//GET READY BOYS!!! >83c
//Ok so I have lotsa ghost ocs, 3 of which were from the dash event “Taken! Dead or Alive” I did on my main blog @pawnshopsouls. First is Lunos (the warlock cypher lover), then Clay (the big-hearted titan ghost), and Vermillion (quick, treasure-hunting hunter ghost).
Tumblr media
//the other ghosts I have are all part of Kesivik’s Cloud of Ghosts. Originally, it was six ghosts including:
Sevens, who found his guardian as a warlock sharpshooter;
Tumblr media
Rodger, who found his guardian as a titan;
Tumblr media
Henry, who was actually killed by the ghost hunter, Cyrell, while trying to raise his guardian;
Tumblr media
Quarry, the ghost who was hurt that Kesivik saved;
Tumblr media
Crystal, who, after Kesivik earns her trust by saving Quarry, is determined to be his Ghost if/when he dies if Quarry doesn’t raise him first;
Tumblr media
Iris, who became the ghost, Wyrm, of the hive knight, Shasur-Tor, belonging to @bandit-prince ~
Tumblr media Tumblr media
And Reeves, the flighty nerve-wreck of a ghost Kesivik first met trying to help out the other ghosts!

🔮 - more gators, probably.
― Send 🔮 for my muse to describe their ideal future with your muse.
Ideally Piper would prefer her new Blue haired friend NOT be eaten by gators! She hopes that he can find some peace here since he seems to be trying to get away from the bigger cities and all of the people. She can certainly identify with that!
