Name: Hermes N. Trismegistus
Other names: Mercury (Roman), Mewmeow (cute nickname), HRMZ.274 (SDVX tag), Zippy (usual nickname), Air Mess (silly nickname)
Appearance: Changes a lot, but definites include head wings, foot wings and tan skin.
Abilities: Fastest thing on earth, shapeshifting, photographic memory, innate navigational skills, dimension-hopping
Weaknesses: Any mention of things that frighten him (disturbing images of cats, pupae, dark water), cold weather, his own kleptomania

Likes: Cats, ocean sunfish/mola mola, hawks, turtles, food, parties, upbeat music, natural beauty, strange creatures, horror movies, running or flying at full speed, anything to get his adrenaline pumping that isn't upsetting
Dislikes: His father Zeus, losing a competition, being abandoned or betrayed by others

-After being killed by Kratos, Hermes has reincarnated again, particularly salty this time, closer to his original form. (Fire wasn't cutting it and he realized that orange/red/gray looked gross.)
-He's been drifting through dimensional rifts and making friends from all over, contacting them through a tiny mechanical hummingbird dwelling inside his staff, Caduceus. However, he has a bad habit of frightening different iterations of the same person by already knowing their name.
-He has common phrases he uses, including inserting puns into a lot of his statements, saying "my precious child/baby" far too much, using "Tartarus" instead of "hell", saying things like he's "saltier than the Aegean Sea" or "higher then Olympus"... basically making references to the things he knows the most about.
-He's great friends with part-time Muse/part-time Charity Thalia, and they'll often share jokes and funny stories with each other. His other good friends include Apollo (long-time best buddy), Poiseidon (who's granted him with the realm of SUNFISH), Dionysus/Bacchus (get these two together and the party won't stop!), Iris (they're often seen hanging out together), Athena (he loves her sarcasm and athletic prowess) and Pan (Pan's his kid, after all, no pun intended.).
-He uncontrollably swings both ways, being a Greek God.
-He's fast to react and respond, and has really unconventional ideas for things. He also has trouble moving from one task to another- for example, if you get him to start cleaning, he will clean the entire house before doing anything else.
-Loves modern gaming culture for the most part, but isn't into the competitive scene. He plays at his own pace. (Feel free to talk to him about games and gaming Youtubers. He loves the Grumps, Markiplier, Vinesauce and VanossGaming.)
-He actually has trouble pronouncing things, including his own middle name, which he shortens to an initial to keep himself from having to struggle with it.
-Due to his staff, Caduceus, being used on the medical patch for the army, and Wabu-tan serving as a medic for a year, they actually do have a kind of connection with each other.
