A question regarding Raven: In your fic, is Raven the AMG Kami-Sama? Because my impression has always been that Kami-Sama was supposed to be Odin, who does have two ravens working directly for him. To be perfectly honest, I would strongly recommend against having Raven be Kami-Sama. Raven as a trickster god or Prometheus figure would fine, as a trickster god would presumably let the butterfly effect do most of his work for him, and both would try to keep their interference in the mortal realm to a minimum. A Raven who is the Supreme Being, with at least some degree of omniscience and omnipotence, as seems to be implied both by galactic level powers being afraid of him and by his being both willing and able to directly oppose Hild, well... it's a bit too powerful, if you know what I mean.
I would suggest having the Jurians maybe having heard of him/people like him, but only because avatars are very rare, and tend to get involved in events that make it into the history books, and not have them have some sort of "OH SHIT!" moment. He's just an Avatar, after all, not a full blown Incarnation.
By the way, for a ranking order for all this, here's my idea. (From least to greatest, with each category subdivided into the various limited and unlimited classes.):
Priests
Champions (Not a child of a god, but given a powerup and a mission/task.)
High Priest
Avatars (What Zeke is, and I think Sasami is as well)
Demigod (Heracles, as a reference point)
Incarnations (What Washuu is)
Gods, Demons
Once again, please feel free to disregard any of this if you don't like it.
