Psychedelic Taco/Geralt

----
Geralt of RiviaThe Witcher
----
Geralt, the Witcher, is one of the 40 starting characters in Psychedelic Taco, and is the dreamer's champion of the Witcher's world. GG has long been a fan of monsters and mythology, as well as RPG's. Geralt was drafted into Psychedelic for these reasons, and because The Witcher 3 is one of GG's favourite video games. Geralt is renowned throughout the Continent for his legendary adventures and monster slaying skills.
Trained from birth at Kaer Morhen to be a Witcher, a powerful sect of monster hunters. On one of his many journies, he claimed the princess Ciri as his adopted daughter, hardly knowing the great destiny that awaited her. After many years on his legendary adventures, Geralt's saga culminated with a battle against the mythical Wild Hunt.
To rival the Witcher, the chaos created Dracula, one of the most legendary lords of monsters there ever was, certainly more than enough to rival the power of a Witcher.
==Gameplay==
Geralt is a tactical brawler who exploits his enemies weaknesses to deliver an absolutely brutal offensive. He is of average athletic capability, strength and speed, but his combos leave very little room for recovery. His defensive game is equal to his offensive.
Geralt is best suited to sustained, close range brawls, making him weak to controllers such as Absolute Zero and Red Hood or ranged characters like Soldier 76 and Nicholas Angel. He's also very single target focused, making him susceptible to being overwhelmed in team matches.
Geralt's trait is White Wolf. For every combo finisher Geralt hits an enemy with, the next special attack he uses on that target deals an additional 10% damage, up to a maximum of 50%.
==Moveset==
Geralt's combos consist of quick sword slashes from one of his two swords. His combos have high knockback finishers, which should be followed up with a special attack to close the distance. Uniquely, his basic combos include overheads and low attacks, making him very adept at block breaking. However, Geralt lacks an aerial option, making him a relatively poor air combatant.
*Neutral Special: Igni - Geralt blasts fire in front of himself.
*Side Special: White Wolfs Wrath - Geralt dashes forwards, slashing any opponents in his way.
*Up Special: Quen - Grants Geralt two points of armor, preventing stun lock. Takes time to charge, making it difficult to use when in combat.
*Down Special: Yrden - Creates a field that lingers for 10 seconds, slowing enemies inside it.
*Reality Break: Tawny Owl - Geralt downs a phial of Tawny Owl, greatly increasing all of his stats for fifteen seconds.

Design NotesIn a nod to the series lore, Geralt will use his silver sword to fight Winnie the Pooh, Sparkles, Dracula, Alex Mercer, Riptor, Jason Voorhees, Vecna, Dark Samus, Sauron, Drop Bear, Susie and Jack Skellington, using his steel sword on every one else. His Reality Break was also inspired by his appearance in Soulcalibur VI, where he similar uses the Tawny Owl potion as a buff.

==Trivia==
*Geralt's moveset and gameplay changed somewhere during development because my edits didn't save and I don't write these elsewhere first.
