Dad is the titular character of the channel. Even though Dad has been portrayed by Nathan Barnatt, Andan Rill, and multiple robots, he has been more or less the same in every iteration. He works at Company stamping paperwork, but has a dislike of his job. Dad's sole goals are to raise his perfect family and be #1 YouTuber.

## Appearance

Dad is typically seen wearing a pale yellow work shirt, a brown tie with orange and yellow stripes, and khaki slacks. During gaming streams he is often wearing his own merch. He is also sometimes seen carrying a briefcase. He is bald and clean shaven, but is often prone to getting severe 5,000 o'clock shadow. He once had a mustache, which he quickly got rid of. After Scarlett built herself a body and took control of Top Secret Facility, his tie changed to a blue one with a badminton racket pattern. However, the ties for all Dadbots besides Dadbot A7M2 stayed the same. Currently, Dad has hair on his head, likely due to Scarlett adjusting his "growth BIOS."

## Personality

Dad is usually very cheerful and mild-mannered, and is a very loving father to Daughter and his wife. He is protective of his family and friends, shown trying to help Maeve hide from The Dark Party. He has an intense dislike of his neighbor, Malvin, and working at Company. He wants to lead a private life, trying to stop The Dark Party from bothering him.

## Dad and Dadbot Variants

### **Nathan Barnatt**

Technically the first Dad. He was the one who first came up with the Dad character, making some video skits on his YouTube channel. However, he was brainwashed by Cheryl to think he actually was Dad, so that she could steal his ad revenue to fund her research. This plan ultimately failed, as he was too smart to remain permanently brainwashed. Nathan is still intertwined in Dad's life, as Dad was designed after Nathan and Nathan could be desirable to Scarlett for his OA.

### **Andan Rill**

The next person to portray Dad. Being an alien human from the planet Kepler 22B, Andan and his lieutenant Emily Ridley, were on a mission to the rogue planet CFB. On their way back, Cheryl used an orb to try to teleport onto their ship and ended up accidently crash landing them on the Earth. Nathan, who was planning on exposing Cheryl, was left behind at the crash site, while Andan was taken to the Top Secret Facility by a Client. Emily had already left in search of help beforehand.

After being kidnapped by Cheryl, he was held in Top Secret Facility and provided a steady diet of FOOD that messed with his mind, making him Dad. He remained Dad for the entirety of Acts I and II. This plan worked for some time; however, after eating a little towel he regained his identity and was able to escape the Facility. After sometime on the run, he, and Emily, were able to leave Earth and return home.

### **Dadbot 222**

The first Dadbot seen in Dad's Life after Andan escapes. He more or less functions in the same way as Dad did when he was Andan, however, he sometimes uses "Dadbot" instead of "Dad" when referring to himself in the third person. He unlocks several new emotions, which carry on to the next group of Dadbots. He remains as the active dad from episodes 2 through 6 of Act III, until he is killed by Dadbot 69 while at Big Park.

### **Dadbot 69**

The next Dadbot to be activated after 222 is murdered. He functions the same way as the other Dadbots. He killed Dadbot 222, Griffin, and the Client as part of a plot developed by the Dadbots to separate Malvin and Cheryl. He too eventually "dies" after getting too many generous donations from fans in his Discord. He is replaced by Dadbot A7M2, who is the current Dadbot.

In *Andan's Run*, it is revealed that he actually survived, as only his tracking tag was fried by the donations. Code hidden throughout *Metanoia* reveals that the figure seen trekking through the mountains is Dadbot 69. He is still on the run in *Free*, and has patched up the hole in his head caused by the overload in *We're Different*. He was last seen in Snoqualmie, Washington.

Dadbot 69 is currently on a mission to find "the target". What or who this could be is currently unknown.

### **Dadbot A7M2**

The current Dadbot. A much more advanced model programmed by the Server to obey her completely. He has a glowing tie when he is first seen, a feature which is never seen again. Other than that he functions in much the same way as other Dadbots. After the Scarlett upgraded itself to a human form, he too was upgraded, and given a new tie. Dadbot A7M2 is loyal to the Scarlett, now his new wife. Cubey is their child. Scarlett has been shown to be able to wire into A7M2's thoughts, and call him through his brain.

### Dadbot OVA

Dadbot OVA is a prototype robot that Computer Master uses for his experiments to make the bots more human. Although the program ended up getting cancelled, the bot itself wasn't scrapped. Instead, its memories of the experiments were wiped and he simply became another regular bot.

### **Rorre**

A rogue Dadbot who appeared on Dad's Own Discord in early March of 2021. When asked what model he was, he claimed to have ripped his serial number off. He seems to have a much darker personality than the others and swears on occasion. Rorre may have an obsession with murder, making allusions to killing several times.

He revealed that he was the Dadbot seen in *Hi*, and when someone asked if the leg seen the shower was from another Dadbot that may have been 'decommissioned', Rorre responded with "be quiet". He reveals in *Rorre* that he is made of scrap Dadbot parts. In the same video, he shaves off the beard that the other Dadbots currently have, and dons a gold and silver striped tie.
(Rorre is "Error" backwards)

### **Dadbot Qwelve**

A Dadbot who was built and programmed backwards. He considers himself to be a "successful error" and the "antithesis of Rorre". He is a combination of Dadbot Q and Dadbot 12, hence his name. He claims to have no interest in drama or secrets. So far, he has only appeared in a couple of livestreams, discord, and Bedroom Eyes Remix (MV).

### **Other Dadbots**

**Dadbot 212** - The first known Dadbot to be activated after Andan's escape. He was seen to be error prone, and in love with Diane. He appears in many old unlisted streams during October 2019. Dadbot 212's firewall often broke down and consequently gave viewers access to the Server's files.

**DA-01/Dadass** - A new bot created to celebrate the release of the DADASS show. He has the same personality and clothing as the titular character. He has currently only been seen in gaming streams.

**Dadbot -2** - A new bot who seems to be running the Twitch channel. He claims to be an "OVA legend" and to have a "foolproof plan". What this plan is or pertains to has yet to be revealed. He wears the original Dad tie. Revealed to be Nathan Barnatt, who was previously trapped in a VCR. While trapped, he managed to figure out how to press the buttons from inside, allowing himself to 'eject' from the VCR, along with being able 'rewind' and 'fast-forward' time.

**Housed Dadbots** - Several other inactive Dadbots are stored in the Incubation Room. Over the course of various Act IIII episodes, they have all been working on a secret plan for the past year in an effort to free their minds from their bodies and transcend to explore outside of the Facility. The Dadbots a part of this group who have known serial numbers are Dadbots 14, 44, 69, 81, 222 and 314. Dadbot OVA is also there, post-OVA program cancellation.
