Hermes had a rough life growing up being as weird and inhuman as he was in a smaller city, and without the charisma or social skills to get him out of trouble he learned to run away when things got rough. Every person has to look out for themselves first and foremost after all. | Hermes had a rough life growing up being as weird and inhuman as he was in a smaller city, and without the charisma or social skills to get him out of trouble he learned to run away when things got rough.

Hermes grew up in a jungle city on the eastern side of | Hermes grew up in a jungle city on the eastern side of Amusa. There he learned how to survive in dangerous wild locations or even how to hide out in one while trouble passes. Hermes made a living hunting wild animals for both food and money while stealing things was always more of a hobby. Although at times being a poacher would be a more apt description. He learned hunting at an early age after realizing stealing food every day for the rest of his life was just not feasible. As an added bonus, it gave him a genuine profession which gave him an out when being questioned about illicit activities. His father was a town guard, so he would occasionally take Hermes as a child to shoot a bow from the city walls.

The city was isolated for the most part, so Hermes would often end up running into the same shops to sell things, steal from the same people, and run away from the same guards, so finding new people to scam limited his experience with persuasion or deception. With his father being in the city guard, he would learn where his father was stationed that day and avoid it so that he would possibly avoid guards and not make any trouble for him if nothing else. His father obviously did not approve of the tricks and minor thefts Hermes would take part in but being so busy, realized it was inevitable and so was happy Hermes never escalated to more serious crimes that would make trouble for the whole family. His mother however would encourage Hermes to steal things for the family occasionally when money was tight and in return would help cover for Hermes when the guards came to investigate. Despite this, Hermes grew tired of this difficult and cyclical way of life and so he went off on the pursuit of more lucrative opportunities when the chance arose. | The city was isolated for the most part, so Hermes would often end up running into the same shops to sell things, steal from the same people, and run away from the same guards, so finding new people to scam limited his experience with persuasion or deception.
