History Literature / Ravirn

* SexualKarma: Ravirn ends up with several Goddesses or Powers that have either dated him, or otherwise care about him; this is after doing things like trying to eliminate a spell that would reduce free will, or showing Persiphone that he actually cares about her situation. To quote Zeus, in Chapter Eight of ''[=SpellCrash=]'': "I don't know how you do it, boy. Two Furies, Discord, and even Persephone. Not quick wit, that's for sure. Maybe it's that whole endangered-puppy thing you've got going on." Also, two web-goblins flirt in various ways, and even outright do their best to help him out, or keep him informed; the stated primary/only reason they don't try harder for a relationship is the size difference.

* TheTunguskaEvent: As said in Chapter Seven of ''[=SpellCrash=]'', apparently this was caused by Tisiphone being careless with one of her Fury travel gates. As in, not closing it- it's basically two 'tears' in reality, and takes a lot of energy to keep open, especially since both endpoints are "moving" relative to each other. When the energy requirement become too much and the portal snaps shut... This gets brought up when Ravirn is told that ''he'' (unintentionally) left one open.
* TheUnintelligible: The Left Hand of Necessity, which only speaks in asterisks.

--> '''Eris:''' Tisiphone ''really'' needs to get laid. It might mellow her a bit, and that would make her less likely to interfere with me. I’d still have Megaera and Alecto to worry about, since no amount of sex is going to help the former and I don’t see anyone around to throw at the latter.”

** The Furies, living embodiments of Vengeance, each with a different type of wing. Megaera's look like seaweed, as said in ''[=WebMage=]'':

* TakeThat: 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.

"What's…"I trailed off before I really got started. I could see it too. "[[spoiler:My grandmother]] already knows [[spoiler:about Puppeteer]]," I whispered. "She's known about it all along."

* AbsoluteCleavage: Downplayed in ''[=WebMage=]''. When first seen, Cerice's outfit is described as a gown that "was very low cut, but a half-jacket prevented it from being indecent."

“I also know that Clotho does ''nothing'' without reason. Whether you choose to wear the name or not, you own it.” Whether you choose to wear the name or not, you own it.” [Cerice] canted her head to one side. “More importantly, it owns you. Names have power, Ravirn. You need to at least understand what Clotho’s given you before you can safely put it aside.”

* EverybodyHatesHades: He's a bit of a control freak, for one thing.[[note]]Example: Hades- the domain- has limited WiFi, with the only point of access to the rest of the multiverse being the computer sitting at Hades'- the god- desk. You need to be sitting ''at'' the desk for even that much. Also, souls can be "recompiled" so they can't be emailed back out.[[/note]] And, he can come off as a bit of a jerk, as well. Just don't ask Persephone to spend time around him, for good reason. [[spoiler:Basically, the "abduction" reported in the myths led to rape... and then Persephone had to marry Hades and spend six months over each year with him for the following several millennia.]]

* TopGod: Necessity is as far above the other gods as they are above mortals. [[spoiler: Ravirn temporarily becomes the new Necessity near the end of [=SpellCrash=].]]

* FlamingHair: Tisiphone. Yes, including her pubic hair. (At various points she gets labeled "Little Red Flaming Hood".)

* ShaggyDogStory: Played with (InUniverse)- in [=CodeSpell=]. Ravirn gets sidetracked from his mission by Zeus, and ends up listening to a story told by Thalia.

* MistakenForServant: Noted to often happen to Athena, though Ravirn is smart enough to recognize her right away.
