Thanks for the tips on the Silver Moon Crystal - much appreciated. (^_^)
Dude.. You just had to get me started on TV Tropes...
As for counteracting Zeke's Gary-Stueness... Well, for one, Raven's making him into a Butt Monkey. This actually classifies him as a Cosmic Plaything as Raven does indeed like him in a very abusive way. (Definitely applies under paragraph two of that TV Tropes article - he knows what's up, he even knows one of the rules, but unfortunately that rule is "Raven is as unpredictable as Murphy's Law - in fact, Murphy is his freakin' love child.") Overlaps with Powers That Be.
Making him into a Woobie not intended, but welcome. (Specifically, Iron Woobie. If he were to turn into Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds then Raven would probably kill him in an instant.)
Eventually evolves into Badassify-a-Buttmonkey because, of course, this is what Raven wanted all along.
Assistance in my cause is welcome, especially in keeping him from becoming a Game Breaker. And mucho kudos for anyone that can come up with incosequential situations that illustrate just how much Raven loves Zeke. (You know, those EEK! The Cat moments.)
As for Sparks and Whispered, I already mentioned before that in my storyline, Sparks were simply a sort of proto-Whispered. Up until the 20th Century, most Whispered had no freakin clue how to deal with even a fraction of the nonsense running through their heads, so most of them went completely around the bend. Only a few of them retained enough of their sanity to do truly great (and sometimes awful) things. A shining example is the woman whom Zeke is directly descended from: Agatha Rachel Steam, renown in DSKS-verse for being the Mother of all Mecha (designed locomotion system later used for the Khobu).
Once the planetary tech level became advanced enough that Sparks could start to grasp the ultra-tech conscepts in their heads, they became known as Whispered instead. Of course, Whispered still have a tendency to go off the deep end like their Spark-forebearers, especially if they are pushed into it through severe adversity. (Like that first girl we see in FMP.)
Oh, and Rob...
The Starseed of Sailor Galaxia imprints off Zeke instead of Usagi, and becomes Mayonaka-in-spirit in the DSKS-verse. Mayhem ensues. (It would seem that her Starseed didn't escape entirely without some coruption from Chaos in the DSKS-verse. Might be helpful in the future, really.)

We'll just nickname her Mayo-chan.
(Kidding! Just Kidding! I am not seriously suggesting a Fenspace crossover here!)
