Background
In Lore Olympus, Hermes is in the younger generation of gods and is the god of messengers, trade, commerce and travelling. He is contracted by Hades to help collect souls for the Underworld. He knows everyone on Olympus and is an old friend of Persephone. He knows more than he lets on and, so far, can be trusted to keep secrets. He is playful and likes to play video games, but when pushed can become forceful and intimidating.
Appearance
Hermes is a bright, fiery red color with wild hair that he tries to keep in a nice ponytail for work. His eye color can also be red or bright yellow depending on his emotions. When working in the Underworld, Hermes wears a black suit, but outside of his job he dresses in sports casual and can sometimes take his shirt off and lose it randomly. In his Mortal realm garb, he wears a white chiton and has a winged headpiece.
Family
Hermes’ mother lives in the Mortal Realm.
Relationships
persephone
Hermes and Persephone have been friends before Persephone moved to Olympus. It is evident that Hermes has a crush on her and cares about her. He gets flustered and shy around Persephone and rehearses how to ask her to go with him to work together.
artemis
Hermes and Artemis appear to get along very well. Artemis sought for Hermes to help her figure out what is going on with Persephone and Apollo.
apollo
Apollo is Hermes’ roommate and friend. He is aware that Persephone isn’t fond of Apollo and teases him about it. He also sarcastically comments on how Persephone looks comfortable in their photo together.
Skills & Abilities
Quick flight.
Hermes is the go-to of most gods to get things done or send a message. For instance, Zeus asked him to take care of Eros, and Hades hired him to help Thanatos with his workload.
