* [[spoiler: HeroKiller: Uses the InstantDeath spell, Power Word: Kill, to kill Glenn Close before the season 1 finale. He is the only one of the Omega Dads to kill one of the main characters.]]

* MethodActing: He takes this technique ''very'' seriously, much to the annoyance of pretty much everyone around him.

* CharacterizationMarchesOn: There was pretty much nothing in his initial appearances to suggest that he was anything more than some creepy wimp who wanted to score with Terry; it isn't until Episode 6 that his [[MethodActing Method Actor]] shtick is established.

An odd student at San Dimas High School who seems obsessed with Scary. Later joins the party as their sidekick.

Glenn Close’s father and all-around scoundrel.

* LikeFatherLikeSon: Like Glenn, Bill is also a bard and doesn't do much after the first turn of combat in their first encounter.

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Disappears without much fanfare after the season 1 finale.

* ChekovsGun: Released onto Earth more than sixty episodes after it is prophesied that it will arrive to herald a new era when the Lord of Chaos spills the blood of the unsung hero.

! Residents of the Forgotten Realms

[[folder:Paeden]]
!!Paeden

An orphan who has been a fighter in orphan cage fights for years, Paeden was picked up by the Dads when they entered the bar he was in.
----
* BreakoutCharacter: A random NPC who would be loved by the daddies and audience alike.
* CombatPragmatist: Despite his lack of skill, he's still managed to stab someone [[GoForTheEye in the eye]] to incapacitate them.
* CutHimselfShaving: Comes up with some terrible excuses when trying to convince Glenn that he didn't hit himself after losing his "fight" with Ron.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Just the fact that evidently he's been in the orphan fighting ring for quite a long time and being exposed horrifying levels of violence from a young age, with no family to call his own. Also later reveals that [[spoiler: his father is actually still alive and somewhere in the forgotten realms,which begs the question of what exactly happened to cause him to leave Paeden.]]
* DreadedKidsTable: Paeden is always frustrated when being left out of dad huddles after [[spoiler:learning that he is actually Darryl's father Frank, but without his memories.]]
* FosterKid: Abandoned by his father and made to fight as one of the Unfortunate Foster Children and later [[spoiler: put up for adoption by the dads after they defeat Terry Sr.]]
* HatesTheirParent: While his hatred might not be as vehement as other examples, his motivation for travelling with the Dads comes from wanting to [[CallingTheOldManOut confront his father]] for abandoning him at the UFC.
* HoistByHisOwnPetard: How he loses after challenging Ron to a fight when Ron said that Paeden couldn't beat up his dad. He wound up his fist for a hit and somehow managed to hit himself in the face so hard that he was knocked out.
* LeeroyJenkins: Peaden is described as having "the eye of the tiger," though it's really just this. He's willing to fight anyone—yes, ''anyone''—even though he's an awful fighter.
* LittleStowaway: Hides in the back seat of the car and tags along when the dads leave for Ravenloft.
* MrExposition: As with most of the NPC's and side characters, his character is used to convey exposition like history or information about items/characters. Unique in that in-story he has the, "Eye of the Tiger" which allows him to see the power levels and stats of enemies. As he says though, it just allows him to see their strength, not actually help him win.
* TheNapoleon: Short? Check. Loves picking fights? Double check.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Played straight with and then hilariously subverted. The Dads, after vanquishing Vampire!Terry Sr. set up a makeshift adoption agency in the town in order to find him a proper home and eventually leave him with the town blacksmith. However it takes almost half an episode for the Dads to actually finish saying a tearful goodbye, and have to awkwardly keep passing by Paeden and his new stepfather as they try and leave town...and even then, evidently they don't actually move far enough away to keep Paeden from overhearing them or being close enough to run back to respond.]]
* SociopathicHero: His solution to Glenn's hiccups is to scare him by cutting his Achilles Tendon.
* TagAlongKid: For a time, before he was PutOnABus.
* WalkingSpoiler: [[spoiler: The dads are anchored to the forgotten realms and he is Darryl's anchor. He's holding the soul of Darryl's father.]]

[[folder:Cern/Lizardboy Scales [=McStuffins=]]]
!!Cern

A lizard-man that starts off as an enemy of the dads, but later joins them on their journey.
----
* DramaQueen: After leaving the party when discovering the dad's secret, Will is fairly certain he'll get over it.
* IOweYouMyLife: Cern believes he owes the dads his life, since because of them he managed to leave the castle before it was crushed by a giant pyramid. [[DramaticIrony He doesn't know that they're the ones that (accidentally) dropped it.]] [[spoiler: When the truth is revealed later, this trope is dropped and Cern becomes a revenge-bent DeathSeeker.]]
* LizardFolk: True to his nickname of Lizardboy Scales [=McStuffins=]. Not as chaotic or evil as the trope usually is, once he introduces himself after initially being a [[AscendedExtra nameless enemy]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: While disguised he [[spoiler: tricks the dads into pulling cards from the Deck of Many Things. He believes they are in a field where violence can't happen, so they should be safe from many of its negative effects. However the dads disabled the field just a few minutes earlier.]]
[[/folder]]

[[folder:The Library]]
!!The Library
!!!Voiced by: [-Anthony Burch-]
A wandering creature that loves to collect and lend out books to anyone who wants one. Seems harmless enough at first, but something... seems off about him.

* HoistByHisOwnPetard: [[spoiler: His own strict rules about killing anyone who damages his library books backfires when the dads trick him into destroying one of them, eventually leading to him bludgeoning himself to death.]]
* HumanoidAbomination: [[spoiler:If any of the episodes that involve him retrieving books from his stomach, cutting off Darryl's hand with a tongue that acts like a saw or the hints he drops that he eats the flesh off children don't convince you he's this, the episode where the Dad's fight him and he reveals himself as a mass of rubbery flesh that wears cars as shells and smashes people to a pulp with books will. It seems as if his goofy personality is just a disguise for how terrifying he really is.]]
* ScaryLibrarian
* WouldHurtAChild: He'll kill anyone who fails to return his books on time, even if they're children.

[[folder:Scam Likely/[[spoiler: Well, Actually.]]]]
!!Scam Likely

A shapeshifting trickster and general scam artist that, despite being a creature from the Forgotten Realms, seemingly has the ability to call the dads on their phones.

* DramaticUnmask: [[spoiler: In episode 27, Benedict Cabbagepatch pulls off his moustache to reveal that he's been Scam Likely the whole time.]]
* InkSuitActor: Anthony Burch says Scam Likely is just High School Anthony when he [[spoiler: is transformed into Well, Actually.]]
* InsufferableGenius: Scam Likely becomes one after [[spoiler: being resurrected and immediately alignment shifted into Well Actually.]]
* MasterOfDisguise: Can apparently disguise himself perfectly as more or less anyone.
* [[MeaningfulName Names To Trust Immediately]]: Why wouldn't you trust a mysterious caller named Scam Likely?
* ShooOutTheClowns: Killed when stealing the Orb of Dragon Stealing from the Purple Robes.
** Seemingly averted when [[spoiler: resurrected by Mr. Moustache. However he very quickly is alignment shifted to Well Actually.]]
* TheTrickster

[[folder:Erin O'Neil]]
!!Erin O'Neil

A garden witch that the Dads meet in Roqueporte. She takes her job so seriously that she considers trees and plants her children. After [[spoiler: burning their books due to a misunderstanding]], she temporarily joins the Dads as a SixthRanger on their quest.

* GreenThumb: As a garden witch, she can command trees and plants according to her will.
* MsExposition: Erin is very knowledgeable about the world, and she answers many questions the Dads have for her while they plan what they're going to do.
* VitriolicBestBuds: She's exasperated,annoyed and generally exhausted with Daddies, but its pretty obvious that she's secretly quite fond of them.
* WitchClassic: She's the image of a traditional witch.

[[folder:Walter the Immoral]]
!!Walter the Immoral

A bullywug blacksmith who lives in Roqueporte and becomes Paeden's adoptive father. He first appeared when the dads searched Roqueporte for a foster dad to leave Paeden with, and continues to help the dads out.
!! Tropes:
* ForcedTransformation: He was turned into a [[FrogMen bullywug]] when he was labeled a murderer.
* GadgeteerGenius: Probably counts as one given that he was able to build [[spoiler: a functioning wooden motorcycle after inspecting the Honda Odyssey's engine for a single day.]]
* NonindicativeName: [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast Walter the Immoral]] is actually a very nice guy. Walter was given the title after a local hero using a sword he made was killed by the sword breaking and going into his throat.

!Main Characters

[[folder:The Dads (a.k.a. The Doodlers)]]
[[quoteright:350:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/download_674.jpg]]
[[caption-width-right:350:]]
* CrouchingMoronHiddenBadass: Compared to most of their enemies and allies, the group isn't that impressive and come across as borderline incompetent and dysfunctional, providing no end of frustration to their enemies and allies (as well as the DM). No matter how silly or stupid they may be, however, (and because this is D&D) the group is capable of pulling off incredible feats like [[spoiler: beheading a vampire who had a ''much'' higher difficulty rating then they were prepared for by putting his head into a portal and destroying it, instantly killing him ]] , and [[spoiler: dropping an entire ''pyramid'' onto a dungeon, completely destroying it and killing almost everyone inside]], although this one was unintentional.
* TheDreaded: Become this in the forgotten realms. Wanted posters eventually start coming up that describe the Dads as cutting a great swath of destruction across the land, and they become the talk of all the land. Subverted in that most people who seem to recognize them don't actually freak out or treat them as the supposed killers and monsters that they are.

[[folder:Darryl Wilson]]
!!Darryl Wilson
!!!Voiced by: [-Matt Arnold-]
-> ''"Darryl Wilson, nice to meet you."''

A self-titled stay at home soccer dad and the group's resident barbarian, Darryl is a generally kind-hearted, friendly and polite (sometimes ''too'' polite) man, who often functions as the group's leader and figurehead. His son Grant was one of the children who vanished when the group entered the portal.

* BoringButPractical: Most of the time his involvement in fights boils down to this. As a barbarian with abilities that encourage fighting with whatever's lying around, he typically just uses his fists or a simple axe.
* ChristianityIsCatholic: Justified. He really is specifically Catholic and Matt Arnold went to Catholic School.
* CharacterizationMarchesOn: His rage starts as being angry for the disrespect he feels from his family. His swearing about the disrespect is dropped after early episodes and gone by the time his rage activates his ancestral spirits.
* DumbMuscle: Becomes a stereotypical barbarian in A Game of Tomes. His best solution to everything is punching the problem.
* FamousAncestor: Subverted. When Darryl's ancestral spirits take form they include George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. But that's because they are the founding fathers and Darryl is an American.
* LikeASonToMe: Out of all the members of the group, takes to this attitude the most towards Paeden. [[spoiler:Because of this, he takes it the hardest when they must leave Paeden behind, taking multiple trips back to say goodbye until the group finally leaves town.]]
* SoProudOfYou: Often takes the time to compliment and encourage other members of the group, even when not necessary. Particularly with Ron and Paeden.
* StraightMan: Closest thing the dads have to one.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Charleston Chews. They were his dad's favorite too.
* UnstoppableRage: His signature ability allows him to transform from the polite, easygoing Darryl to an angry, curse-word flinging barbarian who hits like a truck.
* WillNotTellALie: Where Henry is a bad liar, Darryl many times will just come out with the truth.

[[folder:Ron Stampler]]
!!Ron Stampler
!!!Voiced by: [-Beth May-]
-> ''"I'm not a stepfather. I'm the father who stepped up!"''

A hilariously awkward, eccentric businessman with a lot of DaddyIssues who wound up [[EmotionallyTongueTied emotionally stunted]] in adulthood as a result of his upbringing. However, one might make the case that [[CloudCuckoolander more than just]] [[TooDumbToLive his emotions are stunted]]. He is a Rogue, although he usually spends most fights hiding. His step-son Terry vanished when the Dads entered The Forgotten Realms.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: How Ron has likely survived in life.
** Ron has learned to speak fluent Spanish from telenovelas. Since he learned the language from TV, he assumes it's a fictional language like Elvish.
* AmbiguousDisorder : It's never directly stated that Ron has a mental disorder or disability...but you'd be easily forgiven for thinking he does.
* ChristmasSongs: He can sing them even when it isn't Christmas!
* CloudCuckoolander: Some of the things he does/says are... outlandish, such as the fact that he's always wearing multiple pairs of pants.
* ComicallyMissingThePoint: Ron almost never fully understands what is going on, even after the Dads try to explain to him.
** It's ambiguous (and perhaps unintentional on the part of Beth May) how much in any given scenario is Ron truly misunderstanding something, or purposefully trying to make a joke/get a reaction out of someone. Regardless, it's usually always hilarious.
* GoofyPrintUnderwear: That say "Me undies" and "Cool guy", no less.
* HiddenDepths: It doesn't show at first but Ron's...weirdness is definitely affected by a whole bag of trauma and conflicting emotions:
** Many of his common misconceptions of how the world works (like jail) are definitely because of [[spoiler: how Willy Stampler abused and lied to him to manipulate him]].
** Out of all the fathers thus far, it can be strongly argued that Ron has come the furthest in [[spoiler: repairing and strengthening his relationship with his respective son, Terry Jr. He has made great strides in acknowledging Terry Jr's emotional struggles and providing genuine support and encouragement. He's also been slowly standing up for himself and growing into a proper father figure for Terry Jr. Every time the Dads meet up with their kids Ron makes sure to check in with Terry Jr. and remind him that he is loved.]] It's safe to say that the cycle of abuse passed down the Stampler family line might be coming to an end.
* IgnorantOfTheirOwnIgnorance: Admittedly perpetuated by the other dads, who don't want to hurt his feelings by directly pointing out how stupid he is.
* MissConception: Somehow missed health class every single time reproduction was taught, so he has no idea how babies are actually made.
* PreciousPuppy: In the finale [[spoiler: Scam Likely gives Ron a new puppy who looks like Rogue.]]
* TooDumbToLive: To the point where in {{Meta}}, the players have wondered how he has functioned thus far as a human being at all.
* YoureNotMyFather: Terry Jr. more or less literally tells Ron this when the dads try to rescue him.

[[folder:Henry Oak]]
!!Henry Oak
!!!Voiced by: [-Will Campos-]

The team's Druid. Henry Oak is a nature-loving geologist with a fondness for Birkenstocks and generally anything progressive or hipster. He's nice to a fault, prioritizing tolerance and taking the route of least confrontation with everyone the group meets. His twin sons, Lark and Sparrow, vanished when the Dads entered The Forgotten Realms.

* AchievementsInIgnorance: He joined an eco terrorist group thinking they were a ski group.
* ApologeticAttacker: Really hates the idea of actually killing anyone.
* BadLiar: He has to roll to see if he doesn't let the truth slip.
* BewareTheNiceOnes: Out of the whole group, Henry is the one who consistently makes the biggest effort to be as nice as possible, and he also uses his VoluntaryShapeshifting abilities to turn into animals that could easily rip someone to shreds.
* {{Druid}}
* EarthyBarefootCharacter: Subverted. Henry says that, while he grew up barefoot in the commune he was raised in, the ground was so soft that he never developed the callouses needed to be barefoot outside of it.
* EthicalSlut: He and his wife host orgies.
* GratuitousSpanish: Peppers his speech with Spanish when talking about and to his wife, Mercedes Oak-Garcia.
* [[GranolaGirl Granola Guy]]
* InsistsOnPaying: After the dads [[spoiler:drop a pyramid on Neverwinter]], Henry and Darryl argue about whether or not they should give the city some of their money. Henry argues that they did something horrible, if unintentional, and should at least try to make ammends.
* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: How else can you describe a person who automatically trusts someone named Scam Likely?
* NatureLover: Is very pro-environment and has stated multiple times that he's an avid supporter of the green movement.
* PushoverParents: Pacifist Henry has a very hard time disciplining and controlling the violently anarchic duo of Lark and Sparrow.
* StrawVegetarian: Played with. Although a Birkenstock rocking, crunchy, munchy druid dad, he wants his sons to make their own choice as they mature. He does take his opportunity to lecture the other dads on why veganism is better when he has a captive audience.
* VoluntaryShapeshifting: As a druid, he has an ability that allows him to turn into an animal of his choosing, like a [[BearsAreBadNews bear]] or a wolf.

[[folder:Glenn Close]]
!!Glenn Close
!!!Voiced by: [-Freddie Wong-]

The team's Bard. Glenn is a laid-back but irresponsible rock 'n' roll cover band dad who is into conspiracy theories and smoking weed. Plays guitar in the Christmas jazz fusion cover band The Glenn Close Trio. His son Nick vanished when the Dads entered The Forgotten Realms.

* TheAtoner: Hinted at. The only time so far that Glenn Close, rock and roll bard who is beholden to no man or law has been ''silenced'' is when asked if [[spoiler: Morgan would approve of how he has been "raising" Nick. Although not much has been shown yet of how Morgan died and her relationship with Glenn, it's clear that he's avoiding dealing with a lot of leftover grief, and possibly views raising Nick as a, "friend" is the best way to help Nick avoid his feelings of grief as well.]]
* TheBard
* BittersweetEnding: In the finale [[spoiler: Glenn is able to re-enter the plane of the living after changing Hell for the better and is part of Nick's life. He even declares he'll try to be a better god parent. However, he'll never have Nick as a son again. And Jodie's Morgan Freeman doesn't know who Glenn is.]]

* EveryoneHasStandards: Freddie denies that Glenn would ever get drunk and go to a gun range because of how irresponsible it would be.
* Foreshadowing: In episode 60 after insulting a Purple Robe Freddie says: [[spoiler: "I die happy baby. I'll see my son in Hell b-tch!" Although he doesn't die in that episode, he dies several episodes later. Then comes back in the finale with Nick.]]
* HiddenDepths: You certainly wouldn't suspect it from most of his interactions with...well, anyone really. Despite having shown the emotional depth of a dog bowl, his relationship with Nick is hinted to be his way of [[spoiler: avoiding dealing with the grief of losing his wife, Morgan.]] By always keeping things lighthearted and treating Nick as a friend rather than someone he's responsible for, he manages to keep a distance from those emotions.
* LikeFatherLikeSon: When [[spoiler: his father is revealed to be one of the Omega Daddies]], they are basically the same person

* CutHimselfShaving: Comes up with some terrible excuses when trying to convince Glenn that he didn't hit himself after losing his "fight" with Ron.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: Just the fact that evidently he's been in the orphan fighting ring for quite a long time and being exposed horrifying levels of violence from a young age, with no family to call his own. Also later reveals that [[spoiler: his father is actually still alive and somewhere in the forgotten realms,which begs the question of what exactly happened to cause him to leave Paeden.]]
* DreadedKidsTable: Paeden is always frustrated when being left out of dad huddles after [[spoiler:learning that he is actually Darryl's father Frank, but without his memories.]]

* LittleStowaway: Hides in the back seat of the car and tags along when the dads leave for Ravenloft.
* MrExposition: As with most of the NPC's and side characters, his character is used to convey exposition like history or information about items/characters.

As he says though, it just allows him to see their strength, not actually help him win.
* TheNapoleon: Short? Check. Loves picking fights? Double check.
* PutOnABus: [[spoiler: Played straight with and then hilariously subverted. The Dads, after vanquishing Vampire!Terry Sr. set up a makeshift adoption agency in the town in order to find him a proper home and eventually leave him with the town blacksmith. However it takes almost half an episode for the Dads to actually finish saying a tearful goodbye, and have to awkwardly keep passing by Paeden and his new stepfather as they try and leave town...and even then, evidently they don't actually move far enough away to keep Paeden from overhearing them or being close enough to run back to respond.]]

* LizardFolk: True to his nickname of Lizardboy Scales [=McStuffins=]. Not as chaotic or evil as the trope usually is, once he introduces himself after initially being a [[AscendedExtra nameless enemy]].
* PoorCommunicationKills: While disguised he [[spoiler: tricks the dads into pulling cards from the Deck of Many Things. He believes they are in a field where violence can't happen, so they should be safe from many of its negative effects. However the dads disabled the field just a few minutes earlier.]]

It seems as if his goofy personality is just a disguise for how terrifying he really is.]]
