**Cedar Ranger** is a male super under the Delta Beta branch. He uses a xylokinetic creature creation core and is an A-ranked tank. He is also the leader of the Vertex squadron.

## Biography

### Appearance

Cedar Ranger is a tall, slender pegasus stallion with an orange-yellow coat and a short, blown back, tri-tone mane in shades of red, orange and yellow. He has olive green eyes with their colours not being modified by his mask. His uniform consists of a brown jacket with darker brown accents and a slight darkening account on the sleeves. It also has wooden accents around the neck and ankles. His pants are also dark brown, with a lightening gradient running down each leg. He wears a dark brown pull-over mask and his power markings manifest in the form of dark brown gradients on his wings.

### Personality

Cedar Ranger is somewhat reserved, preferring to keep to himself outside of his squadron. While he can be a swift and outspoken team leader, he is often easily exhausted by social interaction and prefers to spend his free time on solo hobbies such as hiking. He spends much of his time isolated in the woods, being a fairly spiritual stallion with strong beliefs surrounding what it means to be a squadron leader. However, outside of leading, he can come off as rather tired and meek.

### Powers & Abilities

Cedar Ranger utilizes a xylokinetic creature creation core that allows him to create massive creatures out of wood. These creatures are impervious to everything wood is impervious to - they cannot be drowned and are incredibly hard to deliver damaging strikes to, though they are particularly susceptible to fire. His creatures attack on his behalf, using their overwhelming size and strength to take down opponents without mercy.
