Of course, the difference between 'Avatar' and 'God(dess)' is that an Avatar sees more action - direct intervention on all scales in the mortal plane is their thing and they specialize in using just enough force to do the job. They also serve as a divine First Responder, being on mortal plane already and all. The God(desse)s are upper management that do stints 'working in the trenches' every now and then. Bell and her sisters are a special case.
Oh, and it just occurred to me... Marler and Hild... I'm a little uncertain as how they would respond to Zeke. Of course, he's going to be putting off the 'Back of, you don't want to screw with this' vibe, but I suspect it wouldn't stop them from trying something. I'm pretty sure they wouldn't try possessions or direct corruption. Unlike a certain normal who jumps universes every time he zonks out, Zeke's code would be compatible... but the problem is what do you do with the Almighty sitting on the other end who is doubtlessly furious about your screwing around with his personal toy/vessel?
Question: how are the lifespans on Jyuraian Royals? Are they long lived enough to have vivid memories of a previous Avatar-to-Raven and have an 'Oh SHIT it's HIM!' moment? Just think it'd incredibly fun to have Ayeka, Yosho, or even Asuza wig out on sight of him. And Sasami will be all like, "Well it's about damn time you showed up!"
Anyone else think it'd be all too fun to have Kagato go completely apeshit? You know, sees that one of the few things that is 100% guaranteed to completely hose his plans is over waltzing on over and he practically goes around the bend trying to kill Zeke. Might actually be the thing that brings them all to Zeke's attention - Kagato somehow picks up on Zeke's existence and goes in to try and take him out before Murphy can bite.
"Okay, which of you ass-clowns is responsible for this mess?"
There is an brief silence, after which everyone points to Washu-chan, who blanches.
Zeke raises an eyebrow. "Riiiiiiiiggggghhhht. Keeping my eye on you, short stuff."
Further reasons for involvement: political. Jyurai is claiming rights to Earth because Yosho, the Crown Prince, had been hanging his hat there for so long. Bullocks, say the Oni. He never made any official claims! Besides, they're independent for crying out loud! We just protect them because they're such wonderful business partners. And it goes from there.
