Dark Panda

"You see panda when I was just a little kid my parents abandoned me and I was then transferred to an orphanage but it was full so they put me in prison, there I learned how to fight, then when I went to school I got bullied and people were mean so one I found out about ed-, I mean counter culture music and decided to become an edgelo-, I mean totally cool epic cool guy, then I beat everyone up and devoted my life to the dark emperor after we fought a dragon or something but that's a story for another day because we don't have time for that, now I'll sing the entirety of every edgy album ever"~Dark Panda telling his backstory to panda
