Dave Johnson (The Childish Dad)

David 'Dave' William Johnathon Johnson (Colloquially known as the Childish Dad) is a major ensemble cast member of the CHILDISH DAD ADVENTURES SERIES.
Dave is the patriarch of the Johnson family, the husband of Catherine, and father of Brian and Emma.
== Biography ==
Dave grew up with his single mother Elizabeth. He was the only thing she had so she coddled and spoiled him all his life, which resulted in him growing up to be an over dependent and emotionally immature manchild. There is also a rumor that she accidently dropped him on his head as an infant. In his adult years Dave still clings onto childish things, such as toys and shows intended for younger audiences and is prone to throwing tantrums when things don't go his way.
Dave met Catherine Woodrow in middle school. Where the other children (and teachers) often mocked Dave for his unconventional personality, Catherine was the only one who made it an effort to understand him. She even found him charming in a morbid way. Not too long after college, Dave and Catherine got married and had their first child Brian a year later, and eventually their daughter a few years after. The Johnson family now live a mostly happy, but dysfunctional life, never quite sure what Dave will get up to next.
== Personality ==
Dave is very immature. He loves toys, shows made for a young children, and is prone to tantrums when he doesn't get his way. Dave also has a tendency to blow things out of proportion and hyperfixate with worryment. Though at times Dave has moments of introspection and sometimes even realizes he's gone too far. He even can show signs of calm and reason. However, he can easily be triggered into falling back into his old childish ways.
Dave's antics do have their upsides. Since he can see things in a childish way, has can still see the positives in things where others cannot. Sometimes his naivete can see the light in the darkness. 
== Relationships ==
=== Elizabeth Johnson ===
(Yet to make an appearance)
=== Catherine Woodrow Johnson ===
Dave loves his wife, despite being almost completely dependent on her. Much to her annoyance (at times).
=== Brian Johnson ===
There seems to be a strain on the relationship between father and son. As Brian is the inverse of his father, being very mature for his age. 
=== Emma Johnson ===
Emma looks up to her brother as a male role-model more than her father. But she seems to be the most empathetic towards Dave.
=== The Knights for Christ ===
The Knights for Christ was a radical evangelical clique who Dave gets duped into helping through a misunderstanding. It wasn't until later when Dave discovered that they were bad, and were manipulating him.
=== Santa Claus ===
Despite being an adult and no longer receives gifts from Santa, Dave still writes to him every year. Mostly out of Hope and Tradition. When Dave got wrapped up in a conspiracy to get rid of Santa, he and St. Nick end up being imprisoned together, where the two bonded and formed a friendship.

== Trivia ==
* Dave the Childish Dad was created by popular fellow GoAnimator TheREALRandomLozzie. Though Studio S-C's version of the character differs in many ways from Lozzie's. Such as the Johnsons actually being a loving family despite their dysfunctional state. Where Lozzie's version of the Johnsons seemed to be more antagonistic toward each other. 
* In Childish Dad Save Christmas, Dave mentions he works as a "preschool bus driver". This is a reference to Matt TheGoAnimator's version of the character, where he works there so he can listen to kids songs all day.
