Character name: Hermes
Fandom: Greek Mythology
Timeline: His timeline really isn't set in stone, what with his numerous myths and the numerous interpretations of them. However, I will be taking him from the times of Ancient Greece.
Age: As old as the universe, whether or not he acts like it.
~*Magical*~ abilities and strengths: He's a god, so his abilities are numerous. The biggest thing would probably be his immortality, though it does not leave him immune to things like sickness and injury, much to his dismay. Disguise is another thing he delights in and he also has incredible speed, strength, and so forth.
Appearance: At the moment, Hermes is masquerading as a human, which involves the whole two legs, two arms, and fuzzy in some places schtick. He stands at roughly six feet, and typically sports the 'I just rolled out of bed' look, complete with unkempt brown hair. Other than that, he's of average build and has a lovely set of brown eyes. He may or may not be trying to grow a beard, seen in his ever present five o'clock shadow.
Background/Personality: From the day of his birth, Hermes was a trickster and a thief. After all, how many infants do you know who escape from their mothers, steal their half brothers' deified cows, sacrifice a few of them, invent a musical instrument, and get away with it all within hours of their birth? He's a bit of a handful.
Of course Hermes's primary occupation is as the messenger of the gods which means a lot of cleaning up after daddy's sordid affairs, escorting the dead down to Hades, and helping various heroes in their epic quests. If the lengthy list of that which he presides over is any indication, Hermes is also a dabbler by nature, and curious, to boot. He delights in the new and the unfamiliar, happiest when he gets to try with his own hands and to see with his own eyes. Promiscuous is another good word for him, but what Greek god isn't?
As the god of thieves, liars, harlots, et cetera, he's most comfortable around the dredges of society, loving them as only a father could. However, regardless of any attachment, he doesn't discriminate when it comes to seeking revenge against those who have crossed him and has a mercurial temper to prove it.
Depending on his mood, he can be a fantastic partier and drinking buddy, or he can turn you to stone and leave you there until you've learned your lesson. Even if it takes an eternity.
Oh. And he has something of a god complex.

1st person sample: Am I the only one that's excited to be here?
I could go on and on about whatever happened to wherever I was, but I think I'd rather get used to the new place. I've never seen some of these things before and that's saying something.
First and foremost, I need to know what I can touch. Including people, inanimate objects, and so on and so forth. Fire, for example, is a bad idea.It doesn't matter how immortal you are, either. I'm also assuming there are fancier things than fire here.
What I really need is someone that can show me around, answer all of my questions, and maybe sleep with me afterward.
Any takers?
3rd person sample:
While it wasn't the first time he'd been somewhere new, it was the first time he'd been somewhere like this and he certainly wasn't complaining. At home, more often than not he or one of the others had to create something new in order for it to exist. The fact that he didn't know who had created the craft he currently stood on only made it all the more appealing in his eyes.
He wanted to see everything. More importantly, he wanted to touch everything and aside from the brief sensory overload, he was well on his way to doing just that. The biggest difficulty would be remaining in disguise for as long as it took, though he had reason enough to believe that no one here had ever heard of him. And of course the only other difficulty would be trying to find his way back to Olympus after the fact, but he'd always been good with directions. His inability to sense his family members was a minor annoyance for now, but it would grow in time.
Right now, he was far more concerned with the jolt of pain that had just shot up his arm. Fire, it wasn't. But it had been caused by something and he wanted to know what.
