Pronouns: He/him
Gender: Man
Orientation: Gay aromantic & asexual
Date of Birth: February 13
Noise Affinity: Jellyfish
Appearance
Gloves: He will always wear gloves and some form of socks, but they don't have to have his rainbow pattern. His striped gloves and socks also shift what colours they start at. They also don't match but they all use the same colours and follow the same pattern: red, purple, blue, green, yellow, orange, grey and then back to red. For example, the finger tips of one glove starts at red but the other starts at orange, and one big toe will start at yellow but the other will be green.
Hair: go ahead and mess with how he ties up his hair. He won't cut it, but if you want to give him a bun and a ponytail, all the more power to Father! I don't know if he would wear an overly "girly" hair clips, yet he will wear his usual silly cheap sparkly blue hair tie.
Coat: His coat colour pattern placement shifts around.
Phone: Father has an old bag phone, not a modern looking smart phone. It might secretly be a smart phone with a bag phone "case" but it sure looks like an old phone.

History
Present
He's the Father of the Tokyo (and perhaps the surrounding) region. He focuses more on the state of their assigned Children over his assigned partner, Reia, the "Mother" of the Children.
Father is his title, and he has always preferred to be addressed by his titles throughout his life. He is a transgender man, somewhere on the aroace spectrum. He's physically appears to be somewhere in his late 20/early 30s and uses he/him pronouns. He can turn into a complex Jellyfish Noise (design still a WIP).
Due to some troubled family history, he doesn't believe himself to be a good parent, so he tries his best to fulfill his current Parent role to make up for it, but also tries not to get too attached to his new Children. He knows what losing a child is like and knows how much it hurts to lose people you were close to.
Recently he's been unexpectedly reunited with his daughter, who he last saw before he died and before he transitioned. They have a lot to catch up on but they seem to be doing well.
History - A Summary
He was once a human who was married and had two children. Sometime when his eldest child was 7-10 years old, he lost his life and entered the Reapers Game.
At the end of the Reaper's Game he became a Reaper. Since he could not fully accept that he didn't stongly want to come back to life, the Composer of the Game took that option away from him.
He transitioned during his time as a Reaper and watched over his living family from he UG. He was not allowed to interact with humans in the RG and as he grew more comfortable with his gender identity, he stopped watching over them as closely in case there was even a chance they could find out about him.
History: Reaper Pt 1
During his time as a Reaper he transitioned, including picking a new name. His strongest support came from the Composer and their Conductor (the Composer's second in command). He bonded with Composer but the lingering frustration, or perhaps hatred, of the Composer removing his offer of resurrection stayed with him and festered.
Other Reapers' support varied from being mostly accepting or barely hiding their contempt, so he didn't bond with the other Reapers as much as he expected. He also learned of the concept of his sexual orientation (aroace) as he found he couldn't relate to many of the other Reapers who were not aroace.
There were other Reapers who did not like the Composer. Some due to their personality, some because they wanted to claim the Composer's position. He ended up joining the Reapers in plotting the Composer's downfall, feeling conflicted since the Composer was one of the most supportive beings in his transition, but some of the Composer's overconfidence and arrogance was aggravating. The Composer preaching they should all be like a happy "Reaper Family" also drove him crazy when the Composer themself seemed to not really take it seriously.
When it came time to execute their plan to Erase the Composer, he backed out a the last moment. His role was to distract the Composer, but he couldn't fully relax and the Composer was able to pick up on the danger they were in. It wasn't quick enough to completely stop the attack and the Underground and Realground planes got damaged, along with the Composer. The attacking Reapers did not survive, as the Composer retaliated instantly, Erasing them.
Unable to fix the planes given their injured state, the Composer ordered all the Reapers to fix the RG and UG planes in their place. Holes to the Void were opening up, and any Souls that fell into them were erased from history - no one would remember them, as if they never existed. Father is told to also aid the Reapers, still in shock that he was spared and not among the attacking Reapers. As he leaves the Composer, they call out to him and tell him he needs to go to where he lived as a human immediately.
He reaches his old home just in time to see his daughter falling into the Void. He fails to reach her in time as it snaps shut. He screams and tries to tear open the planes himself to reach the Void - to reach Chisa - but luckily the Conductor came rushing over when she heard him and knocked him out before he could cause more damage.
When he wakes, he learns his human family no longer remembers who Chisa is. The Composer has been punished for allowing this to happen under their watch and is forbidden from contacting anyone except for their Conductor.
Shortly after, he makes a grave for Chisa outside of the village. No human remembers her so no one mourns her. During one of his visits to her grave, the Composer visits, no longer wearing bandages around their hands and eyes. He's surprised they can visit him, and they tell him that this is an exception. Father confesses he was part of the plot to Erase the Composer and the Composer tells him they already knew and explains he was spared because he didn't follow through with it. Father is suspicious that it can't be the full reason and doubts that there isn't a punishment for him later. He can't get the Composeer to reveal more so they pay their respects to Chisa and sit in silence for a some time after.
He can't forgive himself for being part of this incident and he begins to shut himself out from the world and put on whatever emotions he has to. He doesn't know what to do now, and knowing he could never, ever, go back to being a human even if he earned back his right to resurrection, and now has this numb, gnawing sensation to see the Composer again, he only has one option left.
History: Reaper Pt 2
He rises up the Reaper ranks. He becomes a GM. Despite being told that he wouldn't see the Composer again, he is able to catch glimpses of them and very occasionally be able to greet them briefly before they must leave. He knows he shouldn't feel abandoned or anger towards them but it keeps him going. So he clings to it.
Some of the Game Masters and prominent Reapers who dislike him or speak ill of the Composer find themselves falling to Players of the Games not too long after. The Composer does deserve some of those words, but how can they say that when they hardly see the Composer? Rumours begin to circulate that the Composer is manipulating Players to snuff out any negative talk about them. Sometimes though, Father will manupiulate the Players who speak ill of the Conductor too. The rumours don't bother him, and the Reapers smart enough to catch on already know he's behind this. Such as the Conductor.
The Conductor does not fall to Players, so he is the ones who Erases her. It's not easy for him because she was one of the Reapers he got along with well. She knows with his rising power she would be next because she refused to step aside. He takes her out himself but can't stop himself from holding her as she fades away. She asks him to please help the Composer and with her dying breath, hugs him tightly and hopes he will one day find happiness.
He finally meets with the Composer and they are a shell of what they once were. Reserved, quiet, almost lifeless. Barely answers his questions, unwilling to expand on the Composer's state. His anger and desire to see the Composer dies and leaves a hollow feeling.
He wonders, if he can Ascend and become an Angel like the Composer, if he maybe he can at least understand what happened to his Composer. He isn't so foolish to believe he was the sole cause of the Composer's change. After all, what else can he do now? Could he even be redeemed for all that he's done?
Has what he's done deserve any sort of punishment?
History: Ascension
Less certain of the backstory here, but once he ascends to the Higher Plane, he learns that his Composer has Fallen after the Incident with the Voids, and was only allowed to keep their Composer status because they begged not to leave Father alone and not to harm him. And since they appeared to value Father and their Underground region more than their fellow Angels and Higher Plane, the Angels stripped the Composer of a gift most precious to the Angels - their Blessed Name.
The Composer no longer has a Name, but is merely "Null". All because, Null fell in love with Father, and did not realize they had fallen for Father until after the Void Incident. Because Angels value those with Blessed Names, Null began to lose close friends, partners and family, because it hurt the Angels when they tried to call Null by a Name they no longer had. In addition, seeing the Composer so adamant about protecting the lower planes over accepting the proposed punishment of giving up their Composer position soured their opinions of Null.
Father is overwhelmed and frustrated that the Composer has sacrificed so much for him without telling him any of this, and lost so much of their former self for it, he decided to part ways with the Composer. He tells Null to never speak to him again in his anger, and he hopes this will let the Composer move on and give himself some closure.
At some point, he earns the title of Father - an Angel who looks after Composers and helps them maintain their regions. He is partnered with a "Mother", Reia, and they oversee the Tokyo area.
Relationships
Reia (Mother)
His "Mother" Parent Partner. They start off as co-workers and become good friends. Despite them being Father and Mother, those are titles for the Roles they have. They watch over and guide their assigned Composer "Children", who watch over and run the Reapers Game in the Underground
He likes to hang out with like "do your own thing in the same room" or he info dumps about human things. He used to try and get her to comment on his odd outfit choices but gave up when she pretty much passes over it.
Null
It's short and simple, really.
They constantly withheld vital information from him. They clearly don't trust him.
From the very beginning. That Player mission that was secretly from the Composer. Having the option to reincarnate ripped from his hands. (He could decide for himself!!)
Null deserved their punishment (not death, never death, he still needed - no, would have liked - for his Composer to learn) for not taking responsibility for looking after "Their Lovely Reaper Family". What nonsense. How high and mighty must you be to ignore the dissent among your so-called Reaper Family? Literally, open your senses! You already know the outcome of literally covering your eyes to reality.
How fitting did you feel it was that you removed your ridiculous bandages after you almost got erased! Did you think I would praise you for finally growing up a little bit?
How I wish I could have hidden those defeated green eyes when I saw them. I take back what I said.You should grow your hair out longer so I don't have to see them again.
Was it just a Game to you? Since when did you actually care? It truly comes down to ability doesn't it? Even if you think someone is worth your time, their Judgement Time will always come, won't it?
You'll send them on some sort of "Mission" to prove themselves. Or complete something risky. Reapers already had to survive on other Souls. You really had to push our limits in hopes that we could become Good Angel Souls, right?
Null guided him for their own gain. He was just another "Investment" that a supposedly once special Composer was allowed to wrap up even though they were Fallen. What worth does he actually have, if Null influenced his path to Ascension?
How much did Null influence him? How much of him is actually him?
He hates him. What else is there to say? Obviously.
And them bringing back Chisa? Oh how could he even entertain half a thought that it was making amends! What a lie. Besides, he doesn't want Null's help! He left for a good reason. If you've been paying attention.
No. No, it was not difficult to find the details of Null's research. If Null can successfully restore Chisa's Soul and have her adjust to the life of her choosing without any major abnormalities - (Not thinking about that. (It's her choice.) Her's.) - If Null succeeds in that, then you know they get out of it?
They get their Fallen status removed and will be Blessed once again with a name. So why wouldn't they pick a Soul that would be easy for them? They probably planned it all out, long ago, when they temporary "suppressed" my memories of Chisa back then. They already started figuring out what key information they would need to piece together her Soul and restore her from the Void.
If you call "Suppression" stealing away one's memories. Guess who found about that later after being told something different before then, hmm?
Anyways, with that, I'm sure their old partners will come flocking back to them. Oh how they've missed them so! It's not hard to sense. That loneliness. Being abandoned by ones you thought actually cared for you.
You would accept them once again, even though they left you once before? Understandable. If they couldn't handle the dissonance of addressing you by a Name instead of by a Status... Even Chisa can manage it.
You want a name. For youself, and for everyone else.
Go on. Finish your experiment and then finally leave me alone. How dare you bring Chisa back into my life, knowing that she could be ripped away so easily?
In all seriousness,
The Composer Father once worked for as a Reaper. Despite the Composer being supportive of Father's transition and helped guide him, Father did not like the Composer's arrogance and overconfidence and false "Reaper Family" attitude which made him both like and dislike hanging around the Composer. After a certain Incident where the Composer was punished for their failings, the Composer stopped spending time with Father and withdrawing into themself, causing distance between them to grow. When Father Ascends and becomes an Angel, he learns about Null's Fall and how much they kept from Father to avoid his punishment from causing the Incident, and how they truly felt about him, which was a large part in the decline of their status and mental health. Frustrated and done with Null, he decides to never speak with Null again, for both of their sakes.
They would both die for each other and he trusts Null will look after Chisa but he does not trust Null to be truthful to him. It's complicated.
Chisa
His daughter! He loves his daughter so so much!! Chisa is able to adjust to his transition well enough so their relationship grows generally well. Both in life and afterlife, he happily makes dolls and dress up clothes for her to play with. In the afterlife he doesn't baby her and sometimes neglects her, since he's used to his Angel Children and their independence. He also not quite as gentle and soft as he used to be, his sarcasm and banter throws Chisa off a bit. He does let his caring side show around Chisa, and if he messes up he does his best to correct his behaviour around her.
Null's Conductor
A Reaper with an affinity for some white formed plants with stained glass petals and leaves in her Noise form.
Father's gloves may or may not have been inspired by the more friendly version of Null's Noise form. He began wearing gloves after her death. He wore the odd rainbow gloves sometime after he gained the title of Father.
For what rainbow includes a light grey?
Well, white would be too obvious...don't you think?

In comparison to Mother's well dressed self, Father is the opposite. A Fashion Disaster Angel who takes Hazuki's comfy outfit style and dials it up and breaks it along the way.

Patchy. Orange. Just went chaos with it

It's rainbow but something is off.
Do I or Don't I? from Tumblr

I don't think Father would say this exactly to Null, but Father just so happens to give Null mixed messages about whether Father likes Null in any capacity or really does hate their Soul.
The answer is both really. It's Complicated. (If the two of them would Work It Out, it could probably work. Trust each other, Be Honest and Listen...)
Klavier Gavin from Ace Attorney
Early on I wanted him to be like lean forward but just be out of reach. Presently he's more toned down and uses his coat as a protective barrier. The leaning forward thing has become more of a past Null and/or Earrings thing. In addition, it was to contrast with Mother, who would be inspired by Kristoph Gavin.
