Hermes

"I NEED MORE SPEED,"~Hermes
Hermes (also known as the Speed Protocol), is the main character from the Hermes Protocol movement playground game and after the game's canonical ending, breaks free from the grasp of his universe, and breaks through the universal barriers separating universes from smashing into one another becoming aware of the scale of the Finalverse and its top inhabitants. From then on, due to the Hermes Protocol universe being on Oasis Watch, Administrator. K and Admin. L had immediately noticed when the universe's main inhabitant exited the universal bounds containing Hermes inside, and due to the nature of a universe under Oasis Watch, Hermes had technically surpassed the Administrators' powers and even gained something similar. The Customize Menu, unlocked after beating Hermes Protocol's final level, also canonically exists for Hermes after he slays the final boss allowing him to change the limiters and modifications placed on him, making him theoretically able to go so fast he causes reality to freak out and implode on itself simply by walking a few paces as well as maximizing the amount of speed gained from his auxiliary equipment as movement skills. Now, Hermes simply seeks out a fellow speedster that he can race without completely blowing past them in a fraction of a second, travelling through all locations of the Finalverse, and wishing for someone to be born with the power to at least match his reality-breaking speed as well as mapping out unexplored areas of the Finalverse's Otherworld, the existing yet non-existing dimensional plane buried so deeply into the main Stryan universe that entrance to the dimension itself would be impossible without the Abstracts inviting you there however, Hermes doesn't give a damn and just, phase glitches himself through the fractures in unstable dimensional timelines until he gets there.
== Appearance ==
Hermes appears as a moderately tall, 6.2 ft. tall adult human male, whose bodily features are completely obscured by the mechanical Hermes Suit he wears making all identifiable facial and/or features belonging to his body unknown to all but himself. The suit itself however is unmistakable, the lower part of the Hermes Suit covering his feet, legs, and waist in layers of special metal plates and links with the recognizable pulsating blue glow emanating from the tubes that run through the suit providing energy from its energy capacitors, with the lower part almost looking like a medieval set of plate armor minus the shoes. The upper section of the suit has the torso as its main attractor, with a strange looking device attached to the chest, the main energy capacitor used for storing the energy the suit runs on, on the exterior of the chest plating, pulsating with the same blue energy, as well as stomach and abdomen plating resembling an insects exoskeleton although with several mechanical pieces and parts to make sure the suit functions. The suit's shoes are made of thin titanium nano-fibers, metal bracers, and a lot of mechanical parts that allow him to ground slam, drift, slide, and other things like that while his helmet consists of a opaque reinforced glass visor, a metal front face plate, and the rest of the head covered in a strip of metal from the center of the top of Hermes' head to the base of his nape and some nano-fiber mesh. Other than that, his shoulder and arm suit plates are seemingly standard apart from the energy veins through the interior and exterior with metal armor pieces/plates covering his arms and shoulders and nano-fiber meshes in the joints. The Hermes Suit also has a pair of gloves that come along with it, mostly covered in metal links and titanium nano-fibers except for the palm, which has a circular glowing imprint, and the finger tips which are serrated barbs.
== Personality ==
Hermes is a relaxed and carefree spirit (apart from when he's racing) and always as a child wished to be fast, faster than anything else in the world, fast enough that he could even surpass light and other similarly impossible things and since he's fulfilled that dream, has been happy as ever before. Now, almost nothing can even come close to matching a fraction of his speed, and he likes to abuse it to its full potential, running around the Finalverse and finding random people to mess with before instantly blipping to the other side of the Finalverse before they even realize what's happened to them as well as straight up raiding random TOA bases because those speeding tickets are really expensive. Hermes is naturally hyperactive, and also possibly mentally insane from the sheer amount of pure energy used to fuel his mechanized body, and always is fully of energy, usually buzzing around whatever places interest him trying to find something that he can do repetitively over and over again without getting bored (for now, its gambling of any kind) or just trying to blow off steam, if that's even possible anymore.

* Totality Cut: Hermes' sword, called Hermes Sword (it doesn't really have an epic name), is a metal sword that, similarly to the suit itself, runs on the energy stored within the suit's many capacitors and will always reform when destroyed no matter what until Hermes himself is dead, or the suit runs out of energy. The sharpness and strength of the sword scales with how much energy the suit has and the speed Hermes is moving, to the point of being able to literally cut and kill a non-existent metaphysical god of the Otherworld with a single strike when moving up to speed and can basically kill anything or anyone, similar to the Slayer's Sword given Hermes has both enough energy and a high enough speed to do so but has a base sharpness and strength of a damascus longsword. Additionally, the sword also increases Hermes' speed by decent amounts for a short period of time after he kills something with it because of the Speed Converter auxiliary equipment that in-game, gives the player speed boosts depending on how much STYLE they have, and in-canon lore, exchanges the life force of his slain enemies into enriched energy used by the suit's energy capacitor to temporarily grant him more speed.
* Customize Menu: Upon exiting his universal bounds, Hermes gained access to the Customize Menu, a reality-transcending ability similar to the GUARDIAN or MASTER Consoles, that allows him to "customize" his and reality's bounds, limits, and rules on speed (e.g. maximum velocity, Newton's Law of Motion, acceleration/deceleration rates, amount of mass, friction levels, etc.) as he sees fit, basically allowing him to mess around with fundamental laws of physics. Hermes can access this power at any time, regardless of place, situation, or time, and pauses everything currently happening in the Finalverse that doesn't have a way to bypass time-stops, basically acting as a pause button while he changes the Finalversal settings of speed to whatever suits him currently, and also can affect other things in the Finalverse if Hermes so choses it to, such as the time he made Deus the Legendary's acceleration rate zero for a minute, and he tried to run for 60 seconds strait to no avail. The Customize Menu also can modify his Auxiliary Equipment, such as making the Gravity Inverter more potent, the Boost Pack give more distance, or the Speed Converter grant more speed, and even increasing the amount of Auxiliary Equipment he can had equipped to the suit at once without forcing a Time Jump.
