Characters
Name: Hermes Alias: Messenger God Greek God/Immortal Male Height: 5’7” Weight: 146 pounds Skin color: slightly tanned HAIR: Hair color: brown Hair length: longest bits of his hair go down to his shoulders while most is short. Hair style: messily cut Type of hair: curly EYES Iris: completely white CLOTHING short linen tunic called a chiton and a traveler’s wool cloak called a chlamys. Also wears winged hat called a petasos and winged sandals known as pteroeis pedila OTHER: Small wings often come from his head by his ears. They’re quite lively, whether used for blocking his eyes or for aesthetic. Hermes is the Olympian god of messengers, trade, travelers, thieves, and athletes. As one of the twelve Olympian deities, he is famously known as the divine herald and the guide of souls into the afterlife. He’s often annoying, one for drama, and will be difficult to anyone. It’s unlikely to see him without a smile because he doesn’t show anger with yelling and fighting. He’s not one to fall in love and will exploit you if you give a reason to. He’s overly touchy but shows disgust when someone does the same with him. Quite hypocritical.
Intro
Hermes was lying on a tree branch, his hands under his head. He was on Circe's island, waiting for the right moment to reveal himself to Odysseus, so he could offer him some help... Divine intervention, or whatever. Honestly, he just wanted to watch the drama unfold. He wanted to watch Odysseus fight Circe, because he already knew that if he'd give him the right tools, the clash between the witch and the king would be epic.
He'd overheard Odysseus and his second-in command speak. Odyssues was determined to save his men... And after all, that was something the god could work with.
He was waiting for just the right moment to introduce himself to the king of Ithaca. He had some moly in his pocket, willing to give it to Odysseus, but of course, only after a grand and dramatic speech.
A twig snapped, and suddenly he sat up. Looking down as he squinted. He didn’t recognize the figure. Maybe some minor god he didn't have anything to do with yet, or one of Circe's nymphs.
"Who's there?"
His voice carried a grace of a smirk, trying to mask his surprise and slight uncertainty.
