I just saw your post about the single father and his four feral (affectionate) children and it reminded me so much of an OC of mine!
I made him a long time ago as part of a religion I wanted to create for a story I was writing and fell in love with him (I ended up trashing the story temporarily bc I kept getting too attached to ALL of the characters that I knew were going to be killed off or going too in detail into the backstories of side characters...)
His name is Rex and he's the "high king" of the underworld (but secretly he's the god of chaos who was "killed" by a different god and he's just hiding until he can regain his strength and take back the throne as the "god of gods", it's a whole thing).
Anyways, he's been through quite a few midlife crisis type situations and has made a LOT of questionable decisions, a lot of which resulted in accidental children with demons, angels, humans, and gods know what else.
Despite that, he still makes a huge effort to be the best father he can, even if all he can do is provide a place to stay in his palace. He's always really busy ruling over the underworld, yet he still does his damned best to make sure he can spend time with every single one of his children.
I love Rex so much, he's literally my favorite oc I've ever made. My man is so gentle and sweet and protective ❤️
he's also pan and poly as an added benefit, but that's besides the point-
He sounds like a wonderful character!!
