"Is this what you want from me, Ricky?! Is this what you want?!"
Cran, formerly spelled Kran, is a punk ass bitch from the Ricky War series and several videos preceding it, played by himself. He is a mysterious and often misunderstood character whose tendency to act out of rage heavily influences his actions, especially under the influence of Red Cran. Red Cran is an alternate form in which he will become red with anger and will pursue a violent solution to a problem.
Pre-Ricky War Videos
Across many videos starting around the middle of 2020, Cran fills roles as either an antagonist or protagonist. He had various squabbles with his friends, and they would frequently joke at his expense. This caused Red Cran to take form, who would use physical violence in retaliation. Things that would trigger his rage include the use of the word "gotem" or calling him a rager. His weapon of choice is a P90.
Ricky War
Cran makes his Ricky War debut in the second episode "what is lost cannot be found". From the beginning, he is falsely blamed by Big T for the disappearance of the meal from "family recipe" presumably due to a poor track record. However, this was a largely emotional reaction and Cran was not truly guilty. Cran participates in the conflict against the Hill People and Ricky Attack as a loyal member of Ricky Defense, guarding Ricky Hills from intruders and traitors.
In the penultimate installment, "The Milkis Massacre", Cran's alignment changes for unknown reasons. After Big T falls to Ricky, Cran literally and figuratively backstabs him and kicks him into the lake. He runs off, having claimed the Milkis for himself and fends off the last remaining soldiers from the battle. It is assumed that he held the Milkis for a long time afterward.
Rodney's Tunnel
Rodney's Tunnel does not feature Cran himself, but the final boss Rodney is a new manifestation of Red Cran after having left Cran's dormant frozen body.
Kevin War
In Kevin War, Cran had been in a cryogenic slumber for roughly 100 years. He is awoken by Kevin who was searching the hills for him. He tells Kevin that he should track down the Milkis he had once wrongfully taken from Ricky's dead hands. He wishes to restore peace to the hills, which have recently become endangered by the Hill People since reclaiming the area. He also hopes that using the power of Milkis he may bring Ricky back from the dead so that he can be redeemed for his crimes.
In the final act, Kevin brings the Milkis outside at night to find Cran. However, he is shot in the head by a hitman employed by Rodney and drops it down a hill. Cran, using the last of his strength, finds it laying on the grass. He angrily cries out to the skies in shame for what he had once done, and collapses due to his weakness. Soon, he is able to get himself back up and meet with Kevin as he rushes to his car. They both get in, but before the car can start, the hitman enters the car and shoots Kevin again. This sends his spirit to Rodney's Tunnel, and Cran is also presumably endangered.
