No current epub designer creates proper dropcaps (don't know why you keep talking about character styles - I think you're just confusing yourself), not even InDesign. If you want dropcaps right now then you need to code the css by hand, there's a thread on this forum that shows how to do it.
I don't know the priorities of the Atlantis team, but automatic dropcap creation would be finicky to do correctly. Word's method is a kludge that can't be translated to reflowable documents, and poorly-done dropcaps look worse than no dropcaps at all. If you want to mark the first character in some way, use bold or increase the font size slightly.
