Acess & availability
Hermes is a public application used world-wide that is used by 7 out of 10 people. It has differents version of its interface to adjust to the different screens, so far there are three versions: a phone one, a computer one, and a P.A.M one.
"Why are we here?" I ask Eris through Hermes. She dragged me to a random place and we are now waiting for something. She made clear that if I was to make a sound it better be attacking unless I want to ███████████████████.
"Weird saw Keith and the enemy here and we both know I suck at PVP. Now get ready."
We see a group of people tagged as enemy dragging a tied and blindfolded Keith who doesn't seem to move. Eris raised her bow and shoot at one of the enemies.
Sigh I unsheat my sword and run towards them.
Hermes is a messaging application that connects the real world with Altrea dimension and while it originally was made to connect both dimensions, soon it grow bigger than other messaging applications like ████████ and █████████ or even █████.

Loading screen
The loading screen is a simple (and quick) screen with the logo of Hermes, the name of the app and a "Loading" word which colour intesify as the app loads and then disappears when the app is fully loaded before chaning screens to the chat list.
Blocked, deleted and empty chats will disappear from this list immediatly after leaving the chat screen.
Chat list
After loading the app, in phones the user will appear in the chat's list, where they can find all the chats.
In computer, the list will in the left and will only show the PFP unless the three lines icon (left to the user's PFP) is clicked.
In the P.A.M., the chat's list will not appear unless you click the three dots icon next to the name of the chat that's open.
Settings
The settings in each device are opened differently. In phone, it is found in the cog icon (top-right). In computer, it is found next to the user's name, its the cog icon next to the microphone and headphone icon (top-center). In the P.A.M., it is found in the cog icon that only appears when clicking the chat list button (the three dots in the top center).
Chats
Individual
Individual chats show on the top of the screen (or the left side if in a computer or in a P.A.M.) the name and PFP of the other user. The messages are surrounded by a speech bubble and the user is located on the right while the receptor is on the left. Clicking on the receptor name or PFP will open a pop-up screen with the information of the receptor if the user has it registered. If the receptor is not registered in the user's Hermes, the name will change to "Unknown", the PFP will be blank and the pop-up screen will give only two options: to block or to add.
Group
Group chats have the group chats, server chats, party chats and guild chats. The messages are not surrounded by a speech bubble, but the locations of the messages stay. On the top of the screen (or the left side if in a computer or in a P.A.M.) it can be found the group PFP and the group name (if its a server, a party or a guild it will be said in the name, it will also have the name of the room where it was created if applies). Groups from rooms will display the Avatar name of the people while if its not from a room it will display the registered name or "unknown".
Status
Blocked
Blocked contacts/chats have red lines covering the name and PFP. The chat is also covered by said lines and will be deleted after 1 hour (unless specified otherwise when blocking). A list with all blocked contacts can be found in the settings
Unknown
Unknown people, in chats not created by rooms will appear without PFP and with "unknown" as their name. Opening their menu will give the user the option to block or add them as well as if they have any shared contacts or rooms.
Contacts
They will appear with PFP and show their names. In the phone, they will appear with the name they are added on the contacts. In the computer version with the names they chose. And in P.A.M. with their Altrea dimension's character name.
"I swear that my account got hacked! I would never leak the coords otherwise!" screams Keith after we saved him from the enemy group and healed him. "I connected today to Altrea dimension after y'all were telling about the attack, I never sent the leaked coords message, and I appeared with this group of people, I dont even know which guild they are on, and I was hand-cuffed! Please don't expel me"
Eris seems to believe him, tho I'm not sure if I do and Eris notices it. "I wouldn't made him the informant if I didn't trust him. Relax, Reck. Let's go back and finish moving."
