Good characters to insert in Nier:Automata?

[DroppedSandwich]

I think hope I'm doing this in the right place.
I've been reading a lot of Nier:Automata fanfics lately, and it's weirdly hard to find a good one where a good amount of sad androids get proper headpats? Why?
So, I imagine what character would do a good job in this matter, and what immediatly came to mind was Shirohige, Edward Newgate, from One piece. Was it weird that I'm a little emotional just thinking about it?
Lets, uh... talk about it, I think? Or suggest things? I'm honestly uncertain of what I'm aiming to achieve in this thread, I just want to share the idea.

I think Kratos from God of war ragnarok or some powerful human character, like destiny characters

 

[Onxio]

Aqua or Namine from KH

Maybe a Harry Potter and/or Sirius Black that went through the veil of death- maybe a technomancer Harry Potter, there are some decent Star Gate and Star Wars xovers with that premise you can use for ideas.
I'm also oddly reminded of Doom: The Kanto Saga where doctor Doom is transported to the world of pokemon and wreaks havoc on it, wouldn't say no to reading a crack fic with Dr Doom or another appropriate villain utterly crushing the world of Nier, maybe a young Magneto or Lex Luthor?
That or Tony Stark, perhaps right after Captain Bucky-Lover rams his shield into Iron Man's chest the suit malfunctioning and sending him there to be nursed and repaired back to health, with motivation to study the technology of the new world all while trying to find his way back home to save his Earth from the alien threat along with an increasing army of machine lifeforms.

You guys are missing the point, it's all about headpating sad androids.
But yeah, I'm surprised Iron Man wans't the first suggestion, not that hard to just insert him there after the blip.

Let's see...

Old Heiter from Frieren is very good at giving headpats. And does have experience with adopted children. With him being a religious man, he might also be able to help turn the Android's effective human-worshiping culture into something healthier?

Nanoha & Fate from Lyrical Nanoha are a good parent duo to give the androids affection.

Tanjirou from Demon Slayer isn't a parent, but he's a very good big brother. And is generally incredibly kind. The androids wouldn't know what to do with all that good natured affection!

Two and Cent from Drakengard 3, before the former loses her orphan, sounds like a good fit... before made insane due to the Flower's influence. Her whole point was to make a family of those who lost theirs. She'd be the big sister or motherly figure for the Androids when she learns about their situation. Cent being himself, will try to utilize them to protect Two and might grow to see them the same way his Lady sees them.

Who's a good dad/mommy figure in Fairy tail? Because there's plenty od characters who cry about friendship there.

Rex from xenoblade chronicles 2.
His humanity and care for other would b a stock for the androids.
