Though I am willing to make concessions on some aspects, I value their magical prowess most highly, so I shall not be making exceptions on that front.
Personality I do not think matters as terribly much... if they are foul tempered I need not have contact with them after the conception, so the effects on the child could be minimized.
So you are a proponent of nurture being a much stronger force than nature?
I suppose the best that can be done in that case is to suggest you steer clear of sociopaths for your list, if you're still concluded that you need such a thing. There's an undeniable genetic component to that sort of personality disorder.
I am, yes. I am sure my personality is quite different from my own father- perhaps they may be inclined one way or the other, but how one is raised will win out, I believe.
I'll just come out and say it, then: any of the grown men here who would agree to father a child on you when you hit childbearing age don't deserve to be on anyone's breeding list, simply by dint of being willing to consent to intercourse with a child.

You can do better.
