Ness's Dad

“	Hello! It's your dad. You've been out there for a long time now... It may be none of my business but don't you think it would be a good idea to take a break?	„
	~ Ness's Dad to Ness

Background

Dad (Japanese: パパ Papa), while never shown in-game, plays an important role in Mother 2. He calls Ness around the time Picky is brought home. After this point, he can be called to save the game and will give Ness an ATM card to use, storing money in the account at times. He also provides information on how many experience points until a level up, and how much money is in Ness's account. He was said to have taken money from Porky and Picky's father, though there is no indication of this outside of Aloysius's assertion.

Powers and Techniques

Breaking the Fourth Wall (Is aware of the video game and saves Ness' progress for him), Telepathy (Can speak to Ness even while he's in his magicant), Information Analysis (Able to tell how much experience is needed before Ness and co. levels up), Time Manipulation & Save and Load (Can create save points), Has the potential for: Subjective Reality, Creation, Illusion Creation (Standard Illusions), & Mind Manipulation (Magicant is a universe created entirely from the users own memories. It exists only within the mind of the user and is shaped entirely by their thoughts and desires. Magicant World's are shaped from the users perspective. Maria for example warped her own world to fit her views as a Queen. Ness's Magicant was shaped almost like a Town with stars and planets in the background. Along with that, users of Magicant can create weapons, equipments, healing items, and inhabitants that represent a certain side to their mind (A strong example would be the Flying Men which represents the users own courage). Some inhabitants act as enemies that will attack or serve as either a memory of the users own experience or simple civilians. It's unknown if there is a Sea of Eden in other variations of Magicant, however it is stated by Talah Rama that the Truth makes itself known to humanity with Magicant. Magicant only disappears once the goal of the user has been met. To provide some insight, Maria's goal was to recover from amnesia and remember the melody she sung to Giygas, and Ness's goal was to awaken his full potential by touching the Universal System. The journey has to be a momentous part of the person's life that culminates in an event that causes them to look inward and triggers the ability to access their magicant)
