Top 5 Countdown, Best Father Characters...
(Specifically OC’s I’ve Made)
#5 - Philip M. Becker (No Image Sorry)
A southern single father with traditional values and even belief in god but who refuses to use that as an excuse to reject people especially his children. A man who will waste no time defending his trans lesbian daughter and demon adopted son, old fashioned but kind hearted and charming. Philip may be a traditional old man but he’s a progressive man too who care about his family and their lives, stays involved and even his traditional values can be seen as progressive. (Example: He thinks all parents should teach their children to cook both girls and boys because being able to cook isn’t a gendered thing it’s literally a necessity)
Philip takes the #5 spot for being a genuinely good papa, hardworking man, and dorky traditional dad (Seriously you should see his kids trying to teach him to use new tech.)
#4 - Baxter Pearce
(Art By @sunflowerpin)
A father in an unkind world towards him and his family, a big polyamorous family with a supernatural powered child likely getting the mutation from him. His child was taken from him and he spent years never giving up hope that he would see them again and when he finally did he helped not only them but even helped a very troubled boy (Spike) who he had every right to be angry at and even hate.
Baxter takes the #4 spot for being an intimidating looking old man with a heart of gold empathizing with even those that could be deemed hopeless, not to mention the strength/hope to get him and his family through missing their child.
#3 - Joel B. Catsley
A man who gave up his dreams to take care of his wife and child and even after being heartbroken and abandoned by his ex-wife he took care of his son with no hesitation working long hours in labor jobs. Joel loves his kid so much the only think he was worried about when being falsely imprisoned was what was happening to his child, after finally reuniting with him he is beyond happy. Joel doesn’t dwell on the injustice he was served only on angry at the harm that came to his child when he was unable to be there a protect him. Still Joel is a charming man and quite talented musician, the love he gets from his child, son in law, and romantic interest Xana is well earned.
Joel gets the #4 spot for making it through so much hardship and still facing the world with a kind heart.
#2 - Lucifer Lunar

Oh there’s so much I want to say about him but I can’t because I don’t want to spoil the plot. Let’s just go with Lucifer chose to raise a child that wasn’t even his, protect them, love them, care for them as if they were his flesh and blood. He’s been there for his precious Dani through sickness and health, raised them to value honesty and cunning more than brute force, and really loved and accepted them no matter their choice of expression. Lucifer says his own child gives him hope for mankind that says it all. Also let’s be honest this man is a huge dork showing off sometimes so his child thinks he’s cool.
Lucifer gets #2 spot because among the things i’ve told and the things that will be explored within the My Dad Is The Devil universe his fatherly love will be shown a lot.
Honorable Mentions: Ikuto Ookami (#6 - MHA), Ace (#7 - Sig’s Universe), Moon’s Father (#8 - Magica Universe), Soryn Ziion (#9 - Star Wars), Nergal (#10 - Beans And Friends)
#1 - Warren Rogers

Do I even need to explain this one? A man who lost his wife and was no single-handedly responsible for 3 children and not only raised them but went above and beyond taking 3 other children in need of a parent. Helped on of the children put in his care through transitioning and helped get his dream started, continues to support all his kids, and is a frequent volunteer in the community. I can’t even begin to explain why Warren is the best father character i’ve ever written and he was the first positive one i’ve ever written too.
Warren gets the #1 spot as Ultimate best dad.
