Psychedelic Taco/Childish Gambino

----
Childish GambinoAKA Donald Glover
----
Childish Gambino is one of the 40 starting characters in Psychedelic Taco and a fighter for the dreamer. He is a writer, musician and actor best known for his work on the TV Show Community and in the film Solo as Lando Calrissian.. He was added to the roster as one of GG's favourite musicians.
After working on Derrick Comedy while studying at New York University, Glover was hired at age 23 by Tina Fey as a writer for the NBC sitcom 30 Rock. He later rose to fame for portraying college student Troy Barnes on the NBC sitcom Community. Since 2016, Glover stars in the FX series Atlanta, which he created and occasionally directs. In film acting, Glover has appeared in a number of films including The Lazarus Effect, Magic Mike XXL, The Martian, Spider-Man: Homecoming, and as the young Lando Calrissian in Solo: A Star Wars Story. Glover starred in and produced his own short film, Guava Island. He also provided the voice of adult Simba in the remake of The Lion King.
The Darkness spawned Tony Abbott to rival Gambino, a person who is similarly real, but unlike Gambino has the personality of a raw steak that's been lying in the sun for twelve days straight.
==Gameplay==
Childish Gambino is a very fast brawler with an incredibly high jump height and move speed, but who is light and more affected by knockback. His combos are of average speed, and he fights using a combination of dance moves and soundwaves.
His passive is Heartbeat. Every time Gambino lands an attack, he gains a stack of Heartbeat. For every stack of Heartbeat, Gambino's movement speed and damage resistance are raised slightly, to a maximum of 20 stacks. Whenever Gambino uses Redbone, he loses all his stacks of Heartbeat, regaining 1 hp for every stack. If Gambino doesn't land an attack for 3 seconds, he will lose 1 stack every second.
*Neutral Special: This is America - Gambino pulls out an assault rifle and fires a short burst. It deals very little damage, hit by the whole burst are very briefly stunned. This is based on the music video for the song of the same name.
*Side Special: Telegraph Ave - A tentacle bursts out of Gambino's arm, pulling anybody it hits towards him. This is based on the music video for the song of the same name.
*Up Special: Flight of Navigator - Gambino slowly flies upwards, with two birds flying beside him. This is based on the lyrics to the song of the same name.
*Down Special: Redbone - Gambino dances for a second, creating a burst of blue light. This clears all stacks of Redbone and knocks back nearby characters. This is inspired by the song of the same name.
*Reality Break: Sweatpants - All other fights turn into Gambino (though they retain their own clothing) While transformed into Gambino, fighters cannot use any of their special moves or harm the real Gambino. This lasts ten seconds.
==Deep Rest==
Childish Gambino's Deep Rest partner is Luke Cage.
With PT defeated, the reign of Gambino had begun. Gambino banished the nightmares and raised up his fellow dreams, giving each their own land to build whatever they pleased. The Dream was not his; it belonged to all. But he would still work to make sure it was the finest dream it could be.

Design NotesGambino is a mastermind (fuck a bitch to pass the time.) I knew from the moment I added him to the roster that I wanted Gambino's moveset to be based on his surreal music videos. Seriously, aside from Redbone all his moves are basically just things that happen in the music videos. I would of used Sober or 3005 instead, but I didn't really know how to turn either into a move. Maybe something I'll revisit at a later date. We'll see.

==Trivia==
*The second paragraph is a paraphrasing of Glover's Wikipedia article, because I really didn't know how to write a synopsis of a real person.
