(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 02:46 am (UTC)(link)Good Omens--the main characters are 6000+ years old, though there are kid characters as well
Even megafandoms like the MCU have mostly adult characters, though the fandoms skew young. A lot of fandoms skew surprisingly young (e.g. Our Flag Means Death).
Classic lit fandoms don't seem to attract as many teens, so I'll note that both Moby Dick and Dracula have group reads going on. The main characters in both books are probably mid-20s, but with prominent older (and in some cases immortal) characters as well.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 03:19 am (UTC)(link)Our Flag Means Death - 30s/40s/50s
9-1-1 - 30s/40s/50s
9-1-1: Lone Star - Mostly 30s/40s/50s with a couple in their late 20s
Law & Order: SVU - A couple in their 30s, mostly 40s/50s
FBI - 30s/40s
(Some of them have recurring kid/teenager characters, usually the kids of the mains, but the mains are all adults.)

(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 05:27 am (UTC)(link)The Vorkosigan Saga books by Lois McMaster Bujold start with an 18 year old protagonist but follow him into his early 40s, and that's not counting the books focused on his parents. And Bujold's Five Gods novels, especially her Chalion books, have older protagonists.
The Sandman has teen and 20 something characters but so far the biggest ship is two immortals (the eponymous main character who's ~14 billion years old, and his ~660s boytoy, heh) played by a 37 and 34 year old, respectively.
The protagonists of T. Kingfisher's White Rat novels are mostly or all 30s-ish (or immortal and stuck in enchanted swords.) Also there's a standalone, Nettle and Bone, with a protagonist in her 30s, and a pair of awesome older witches.
Idk how Once Upon a Time fandom is holding up these days, but almost all the characters were late 20s on up, and my OTP was played by an actress in her late 20s to mid 30s and an actor in his 50s.
A good chunk of superheroes are adults.
All the Lord of the Rings characters are adults, even if some are meant to be the equivalent of 20-somethings (but are idk, 50s? because hobbits age differently.)
I'm a Christine/Erik shipper, but the most popular Phantom of the Opera slash ship is Erik (the phantom) and his long-suffering former minder/government official tasked with his execution who helped him escape instead/best friend, the Persian. He has no name and a probably inaccurate title, Daroga, in the original book, but the most popular profic dubbed him Nadir Khan, and searching Erik/Nadir on Ao3 will probably net you lots of ill-adjusted 50ish men pining for each other.
The Temeraire novels by Naomi Novik follow an English naval officer reassigned to the Aerial Corps, that is, the dragon riding air force, during a version of the Napoleonic Wars where both sides (and most every country and culture) lives alongside dragons.

(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 08:26 pm (UTC)(link)If you like comic book tie ins, a good many music bands have comic books written about them. IIRC, the rock band Kiss had drops of their blood mixed in the ink vats at Marvel comics for their collector’s edition!
Re: favorite canons featuring character who are 30+
(Anonymous) 2023-05-11 10:58 pm (UTC)(link)Enjoyable series that come to mind as having at least a few 30+ characters are Gangsta, Showa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, Netjuu no Susume, Fune wo Amu, Natsuyuki Rendezvous, Isekai Ojisan, Tiger & Bunny, Samurai Flamenco, Himitsu Top Secret, Honey & Clover, Legend of the Galactic Heroes and Psycho-Pass. Others I heard of but have yet to watch, so not sure if recommended are: Inuyashiki, Seirei no Moribito and Fantasy Bishoujo Juniku Ojisan To.
