Heh. Yeah, quite a weird monster.

This sounds like Doctor Who weird.
What Revans think of having non-yvette older siblings? And what Yvettes think of non-revan younger siblings?

Neither have enough information about who the siblings would be to have any real opinion besides vaguely being okay with it.

Why Morgan hates Jack Slash so muhc? Not that she is wrong, but why him in particular?

Jack doesn't seem like he's super important, but Morgan is well aware that he's the only reason the Slaughterhouse Nine are still together. And the fact that he's (allegedly) a tactical genius and master manipulator makes him very very scary. A quote I used for a Revan's username is "What greater weapon is there than to turn an enemy to your cause"? Jack Slash isn't scary because he himself is a monster, he is scary because he can create them, and as long as he's alive, the Slaughterhouse Nine won't die. So he dies first.

How would each of your character babysit a baby/toddler for a night? :3

I'm not sure how to answer this question properly, honestly. I think the answers will be less interesting than you'd think.
Most of them would just sort of - take care of the baby. Babies are not super interesting, they scream when they want you, and the reaction to diaper changing is really super overblown by the media. None of mine would have a series of hilarious mishaps with childcare, they'd just - get over it, really, and do a competent job.
Yvette would have a very well organized Baby Care Kit with everything possibly necessary in it. Revan would probably carry the kid everywhere with them unless the child were asleep, and definitely talk to it a lot, possibly in multiple languages but probably not. Veron would have trouble putting down the kid to leave and be confusingly relieved and secretly disappointed when he did. Adarin would be concerned about taking care of this tiny person, but do a good job of it. Zevi would only take care of a kid if a friend of theirs asked them to, but would do a good job of it and be surprisingly good at picking up the kid's emotions and reacting to them; kids are straightforward.
Toddlers are more interesting, but if the child isn't theirs my characters will be kind of low key with what they do with the kid. Blocks? Playing with toys? Going to the park? There are not as many options to the standard no-set-world templates here, sorry. xD

What about Raezenoth? I imagine he would do a good job and not expect the kid to be able to take care of themself whatever he expects of adults.
What about older children, say 6 to 12? That seems to be what the other authors assumed the question was about.

Raezenoth would not expect a baby or toddler to take care of themselves, and would be very good at figuring out what they want via godhood, and then hand it to them. As they get older he would start phasing in stuff for them to do by themselves, starting with gentle stuff they can actually do - crawling to their food instead of being set in front of it, given ways to get to their bed on their own, etc.
I'm not interested in answering the expansion to this question, sorry. It depends highly on the kid and highly on the circumstances; and I know neither. I dislike the idea of making up a plan about what my characters would do with the kid without knowing the kid's personality, because that is a large factor in what happens.

Could a god appear in deadly-to-gods conditions, like the middle of nowhere with no convenient explorers to discover them, or with a desecration material like water, or something?
