Ravirn: Difference between revisions

Line 13:

* {{spoiler|1=[[A God Am I]]: Occurs near the end of SpellCrash}}

* [[Big Badass Wolf]]: Played with by Fenris. When we first see him, he's in the guise of a normal dog on a leash. His true form is about the size of a draft horse.

* [[Bothering By the Book]]: Cerberus has orders to kill Ravirn if he enters Hades. The Furies have orders to kill him, period. Neither Cerberus nor Tisiphone really want to kill him--so they foment an "accidental" fight between Cerberus and the Furies, allowing him to escape into Hades proper from the borderlands held by Zeus, then refuse to enter Hades due to jurisdictional issues.

* [[Cassandra Truth]]: Atropos places a "Cassandra curse" on Ravirn so no one will believe him about her plans

* [[Chaotic Neutral]]: Eris. Being the goddess of chaos, her entire reason for existence is to spread chaos and strife throughout the multiverse. Despite that, she is one of the very few gods Ravirn counts among his friends.

Line 42:

* [[Portal Network]]: One of several methods to travel between dimensions is the fairy ring network. Not to mention the "Fury Gates" used by the, well, Furies.

* [[Post-Modern Magik]]: Standard fantasy fare, but brought up to speed in the 21st Century. The Greek gods all use computers, magic is similar to programming code, and goblins and pixies can turn into various electronic devices.

* [[Powers As Programs]]: The spells used are literally coded. When one needs to use the spell, they have thier familiar activate it by saying the program name. The spells can also be activated by the casters themselves by humming a tune, but this is usually more difficult and time-consuming.

* [[Snarky Non Human Sidekick]]: Melchior definitely qualifies.

** As of MythOS, Ravirn gains two new ones: [[Silent Snarker|Laginn]] {{spoiler|Tyr's hand}}, and {{spoiler|[[Big Badass Wolf|Fenris]]}}

* [[Status Quo Is God]]: Subverted. It's very much the case in some of the myths that form the source material; some of Ravirn's adventures involve breaking the status quo, as in {{spoiler|freeing Persephone from Hades and removing the sword from Fenris' jaw}}. It's even lampshaded in a threat from Ravirn to Lachesis: that the Raven has already wreaked several major and lasting changes to the Greek multiverse, and he is quite possibly capable of taking down Fate forever.

* [[Take That]]: In Webmage, it is revealed that Eris, the Goddess of Discord uses a Mac, while the houses of Fate all apparently use Windows. Though later, she seems to use some kind of virtual machine program to allow Ravirn to {{spoiler|code Orion, the spell meant to ruin Puppeteer}} using an interface more familiar to him.

{{quote| Ravirn: "I can see the commercials now: 'The Goddess of Discord uses a Mac. Why don't you?'"}}

* [[The End of the World As We Know It]]: {{spoiler|Persephone's virus!Sharra}} bids fair to destroy the mweb which notes the worlds' locations relative to each other, basically dissolving the multiverse.

* [[Trickster Archetype]]: {{spoiler|When Ravirn has the name Raven bestowed upon him, all of his trickster traits come to the foreground. After all, Raven is a minor chaos power. It even affects his behavior and judgement, making him less cautious.}}

* [[Unusual Euphemism]]: Sharra: "While you and Cerice were playing slot-in-the-RAM..."
