Hermes
## Personality

As seen during his interactions with Cha Yeon-woo, Hermes is shown to have a friendly, cordial and somewhat playful personality. As seen where he would jokingly tease him and light heartily chat with Yeon during his entry into the Olympian Vault.

Hermes is shown to be one of the more considerate and caring of Gods of the Tower, at least towards Yeon. Having been shown to suppressed his immense power and hide his gigantic presence when first meeting Yeon to prevent him from being too overwhelmed by his power and later showcased a sense of concern for him and his choices.

Later it was shown that for some reason, Hermes is protective and hold almost familial care for him. This is seen where he personally threatened another Goddess, Urd when she attempted to manipulate him to become her servant, from ever trying to do so again. Hermes would also be shown to be Yeon-woo's constant ally in defending his borderline heretical actions to the other Gods of the 98th Floor and even went to his rescue when he was nearly devoured by Agares. Hermes himself is also shown to take pride in Yeon-woo's accomplishments within the Tower and was stated and shown to have strong personal faith in whatever choices he makes within the Tower.

As seen from his father, Zeus’s return to Olympus in a weakened State after being thoroughly defeated by Yean-woo, Hermes has become fiercely loyal to him and defends Yeon-oo and his position as the New King of Olympus, even rebuking the claim of the Throne from his own biological father. With the latter stating that he respects Yeon-woo for his power and accomplishments and cares nothing for the latter's background as originally being a mortal as he is the reason to Olympus’s current prosperity and power as the greatest Transcendent society that dominates the Heavenly World

## History

Hermes is introduced when Cha Yeon-woo manages to collect all 12 Olympian keys within the tutorial floors. He proposes the position of an apostle to him but was refused and accepted his choice gracefully.

When the stairs of underworld connect to Olympus, the Olympian gods are able to freely between the 98th floor and Tartarus. During the upheaval by the imprisoned Titans from Titanomachia and Gigantomachia, Hermes and the other Olympian gods descended.

Due to the betrayal of Persephone and her collusion with Typhon, the Olympian gods were forced back. Using his power as god of Travelers, he opened the seal of on the door to Erebus and locked themselves in hopes that Cha Yeon-woo would find a way to retake back Tartarus. His strength falls considerably during this event.

## Abilities

As a God and one of the 12 Olympians, the leaders of the Greek Pantheon, Hermes possess immense power and strength easily surpassing even fellow Gods. As seen where Urd, a fellow Goddess, was forced to cave into Hermes's threats and demands due to the severe and gigantic power difference between them. Later after being in both their presences of Hermes and Urd separately, it was stated by Yeon-woo that Urd's own power, despite also being massive, was nothing compared to Hermes's own.

Hermes was also shown to be powerful enough to fight Agares, a powerful high Ranked Demon and the Grand Duke and one of the Four Pillars of the Demonic Society, Le'Infernal to a standstill and severely injure him despite failing to kill him. During this battle Hermes's power and physical form and pressure was stated to be so massive that he appeared as a gigantic mass of pure white light.

### Sacred Animal

* **Boa Snakes:** Due to Boa Snakes being sacred to him, Hermes primarily use these serpents as his main mediums of his power and weapons when in battle. The power of these serpents were stated to be massive enough that they could even swallow and kill other Gods. This is seen where he was able to pierce and bypass the holy territory set up by Urd and threaten her by using his Boa Snakes and threatened to have them overpower and eat her if she crossed him, showing the his serpents possessed power surpassing that of a Minor God. Later upon being summoned by Yeon to fight Agares, Hermes showcased that he could further empower and strengthen his snakes by imbuing them with more of his Holy Power in order to grow them into gigantic sizes and grant them immense strength in order to swallow his opponent whole. As seen where Hermes had four of his Boa Snakes grow into gigantic sizes and had them battle and attempt to devour Agares. During the Gigante/Titan uprising in Tartarus, Hermes was able to summon 10 gigantic Boa Snakes to fight the Gigantes and Titans.
	+ **Poison:** As seen during his fight against Agares, Hermes's Boa Snakes could excrete a powerful Holy type poison strong enough to weaken and possibly kill a High Class Demon. As seen where Agares was severely weakened by their poison during his forcible return to the 98th Floor that he predicted that the latter would weakened to the point that he could now be killed and devoured by his rival demons once he is returned to his territory in the 98th floor.

### Authorities

#### **God of Travelers, Crossroads, Messengers and Path to the Underworld**

As a God of Travelers, Messengers and a Psycho-pump to the Underworld, Hermes is one of the very few Gods within the Tower that possess the unique privilege to actually physically leave the 98th Floor of his own free will. Normally the Gods and High Ranked Demons of the 98th Floor cannot physically leave the Floor in their actual physical bodies due to them being bound to the Floor by the rules and constraints of the Obelisk's System unless they are summoned to the Floor themselves.

However Hermes can due to his role as the Olympian messenger God and a Psycho-pump to the Underworld, Heremes has been stated by Urd, that he posses the unique ability to travel anywhere he desires using his own powers due to his role giving him a unique loophole to work around, allowing him to bypass the restrictions placed on the Gods from leaving the 98th Floor, with Hermes stating to be able to go to any of the Lower Floors of the Tower and even travel to the Underworld. However due to him using his own power and the restrains by the Tower, Hermes was stated to use up a considerable amount of his energy in order to travel and as such only does so when he's particularly interested in something or when something holds particular importance to him.

It would later be stated that due to his position, Hermes is one of the few Gods that have remained largely unaffected by the "Laws of Casualty" keeping the Transcendents confined within the Tower's System.

Due to also being a Psycho-pump, Hermes is also capable of opening entry ways into Erebus.

### Apostle

* **Powers:** Like all Gods, Hermes can also give lend and give his divine Authority to any mortal Player that catches his attention and grant them access to his divine supernatural power. Due to him being one of the 12 Olympians, the Powers that Hermes's can provide is noted to be extremely potent and powerful.
