Writing grim dark fantasy with self injected main character

What's funny is we have a Deus ex Machina running around. No one's spotted him, yet. Maybe I can learn to be subtle. lol
I love that lol I literally have a Deus Ex Machina too...

The characters different 'forms' are named after that. Youngest Sister: Machina. Elder Sister: Deus Ex Oldest Sister: Deus Ex Machina. She's 'one' person and she's the head God of the world.

But there shouldn't be anything that hints at them actually being that, until the time comes. (Since it's a comedy everything is a joke) I don't think anyone will clock it though, since the name is treated as a pun/joke also. (Like both lore wise and dialogue wise. The other gods in the story don't take her 'seriously' unless she's in 'fire and brimstone' mode of existing.)

Ours mostly points people where they need to go. We've seen him in every book so far. He's going to get more involved fairly soon, though.
