Personnalité
Malgré son comportement souvent rustre, Ermes est fière, loyale et têtue.
Elle n'hésite pas à se battre et est prête à faire à faire n'importe quoi pour se mettre dans une meilleure situation, qu'elle prenne un pari qui pourrait risquer ses organes et même copier ses propres parties du corps avec son Stand même si elle sait que ses membres devront se refusionner plus tard, la blessant sévèrement.
Connaissant les tenants et aboutissants de la vie carcérale, Ermes est préoccupé par l'acquisition et la collecte d'argent pour acquérir des biens et corrompre les gardiens de la prison.
Ermes fait preuve d'un sens aigu de la résilience, car elle était toujours debout et se déplaçait même après que Marilyn Manson lui ait prit son foie et elle a survécu à Thunder McQueen essayant de la forcer à mourir avec lui durant les tentatives de suicide de ce-dernier. Elle a un bon sens de la justice mais punit violemment quiconque s'interpose sur son chemin.
Ermes est une femme particulièrement impolie. Elle parle sur un ton familier, utilise fréquemment des jurons et est assez violente, son tempérament colérique l'amenant à crier fréquemment sur les autres. De plus, Ermes est également prête à commettre des actes violents, et par exemple veut tuer Sports Maxx pour venger sa sœur. Elle est en général très brutale lorsqu'elle se bat.
L'objectif d'Ermes est de se venger et de tuer Sports Maxx, et elle était assez motivée pour se faire condamner à la prison pour avoir une chance de le tuer, ignorant les risques pour sa vie. Comparé à la propre quête de vengeance de Polnareff, le désir de vengeance d'Ermes est alimenté par la colère et le chagrin et elle ne prétend pas avoir raison moralement. Ermes s'est également fait un devoir de tuer Sports Maxx de la même manière que Gloria pour infliger la même douleur que Gloria a subie.
Le Stand d'Ermes est Kiss, un Stand humanoïde, avec la capacité unique de dupliquer des objets sur lesquels elle plante un autocollant avec un symbole de baiser. Une fois l'autocollant retiré, le duplicata revient à l'original et peut causer de graves dommages.
Ermes est au moins partiellement de descendance mexicaine à travers son père immigrant.[1] Elle avait vécu sa jeunesse dans les bidonvilles, sa famille y ayant un restaurant. Bien qu'elle ait eu un père et une grande soeur nommée Gloria, qui a 10 ans de plus qu'elle, il n'y a aucune mention de sa mère. Gloria hérita finalement du restaurant à l'âge de 20 ans mais ne recevait aucune aide de sa petite sœur. Gloria voulait qu'Ermes aide au restaurant mais Ermes voulait une bourse sportive en cross-country et aller à l'université.
Un soir, trois ans avant les événements de Stone Ocean, à l'âge de dix-sept ans, Ermes quitta le restaurant familial pour s'enfuir en ville au lieu d'avoir une autre dispute avec sa sœur. Ce faisant, Ermes a accidentellement couru près d'un endroit où le gangster Sports Maxx était sur le point de commettre un meurtre. Sports Maxx fut à son tour pris en flagrant délit par Gloria, qui l'a vue regarder Ermes courant au loin. Gloria a compris que Sports Maxx avait pris Ermes pour un témoin et qu'il tenterait de la tuer. Afin de sauver Ermes, Gloria a appelé la police mais a été tuée pour cela plusieurs semaines plus tard à cause de la négligence de la police. Ermes a perdu toute sa famille et ses biens. Faute de preuves, Sports Maxx a été condamné à une peine de cinq ans d'emprisonnement seulement.
Cela a incité Ermes à se venger. Elle a commencé à commettre à plusieurs reprises des vols à main armée, se laissant arrêter. Ce faisant, elle a été condamnée à 8 ans dans la prison de Green Dolphin Street, où se trouvait Maxx.
Stone Ocean (2011-2012)
Rencontre avec Jolyne Cujoh
Jolyne et Ermes se voient pour la première fois
Ermes a rencontré Jolyne Cujoh pour la première fois quand elles ont été détenus en prison dans des cellules adjacentes. Agacée par Jolyne qui cognait constamment sa tête sur le mur à cause de son humiliation plus tôt ce jour-là, Ermes lui a crié de se calmer. Lorsque Jolyne a avoué s'être masturbée et avoir été surprise par un garde, l'humeur d'Ermes est passée de la colère à l'amusement et Ermes l'a défendue contre une co-prisonnière. Les deux ont ensuite été sorties de leurs cellules pour être transportés à la prison de Green Dolphin Street. Dans la salle de visite, Ermes trouva un pendentif et l'apporta avec elle.
Ermes, battue par des garde mais sauvée par Stone Free
Sur le chemin de la prison, Ermes et Jolyne s'assirent l'un à côté de l'autre. Intriguée par la capacité de Jolyne à entendre le garde à travers la porte mais ne ressentant aucune méchanceté, Ermes s'est liée d'amitié avec Jolyne. Ermes a alors averti Jolyne d'acquérir rapidement de l'argent. Jolyne a demandé où Ermes cachait son argent et a deviné correctement qu'Ermes le cachait dans ses seins. Embarrassée, Ermes lui a montré les trous qu'elle a fait dans sa poitrine pour cacher son argent. Cependant, lorsque le bus arriva en prison, les gardes ont isolé Ermes et l'ont battue pour prendre son argent, ayant écouté la conversation entre les filles. Ermes a supplié les gardes, mais ils ont continué à la battre et ont décidé de vérifier ses seins. En luttant, Ermes a frappé un garde avec son coude, le poussant à utiliser sa matraque. Cependant, le garde a étonnamment coupé sa propre oreille et les gardes ont laissée Ermes seule. À l'insu d'Ermes, Jolyne l'avait aidé avec sa nouvelle capacité, Stone Free. En entrant en prison, Ermes s'est coupée sur le pendentif et a vendu le pendentif à Gwess.
Les vignettes d'Ermes
Ermes discovers her ability
Ermes est alors tombée malade et a été placée à l'infirmerie pendant suffisamment de temps pour que les médecins soient venus la voir à six reprises. Quand elle se réveille, Ermes remarque que quelqu'un lui a volé une partie de son argent. Cependant, quelque chose d'étrange lui arrive aussi : des autcollants continuent d'apparaître dans sa paume. Elle en a déjà jeté un plus tôt et l'autocollant est tombé sur sa chaussure, mais Ermes remarque qu'il y en a maintenant deux chaussures identique et qu'elle a un sixième doigt sur lequel un autre autocollant est collé. En panique, Ermes retire l'autocollant de son doigt et voit ses deux index fusionner ensemble, et se fait mal au doigt. La même chose se produit avec un jarre d'urine et sa chaussure et Ermes comprend qu'elle a acquis un pouvoir spécial lié à ces autocollants.
Ermes utilise son pouvoir pour fabriquer un piège et duplique une serpillière pour piéger le visage du balayeur entre les serpillière lorsqu'il passe, et l'assomme. Cependant, Ermes remarque que des disques sortent de sa tête et en prend instinctivement un. Lors de son contrôle de sortie, Ermes s'enquiert du concierge mais le garde refuse qu'elle apprenne quoi que ce soit. Dans les toilettes, Ermes examine le disque et voit Whitesnake parler au concierge près d'une cachette où ce dernier cache son argent.
McQueen essaie de se tuer avec Ermes
Effrayé, Ermes saute en arrière. Le balayeur, un autre prisonnier nommé Thunder McQueen apparaît et la confronte. Ermes l'accuse d'être un taré à cause des disques surgissant de son visage et est surprise de voir McQueen fondre en larmes car ce dernier ne se souvient plus de ce qu'il a fait récemment et où il a caché son argent. Ermes lui demande s'il va bien et McQueen est ému d'avoir une femme soucieuse de son bien-être. Pensant qu'il ne rencontrera jamais une femme qui aura la même attention envers lui, McQueen décide de mettre fin à ses jours et se pend à un tuyau avec sa ceinture. Ermes se sent alors soulevée par le cou et étouffe. Voyant des hélices sortir de son cou, Ermes comprend que McQueen a une capacité comme elle. Incapable d'atteindre McQueen ou d'appeler à l'aide, Ermes invoque un autocollant et le jette sur la ceinture. Elle enlève ensuite l'autocollant de la ceinture et l'endommage afin que le poids de McQueen le coupe. Les deux sont sauvés, pour le moment. McQueen est apparemment reconnaissant et explique qu'il est déprimé et s'est pendu sur un caprice. Ermes est toujours méfiante et demande comment il a obtenu sa capacité, mais McQueen ignore l'existence de Highway to Hell. Ermes est embarrassé quand McQueen lui dit qu'il lui est redevable et lui promet de vivre une vie convenable, mais dès qu'elle tourne la tête, McQueen tente de se noyer dans un robinet.
Une substance aqueuse apparaît autour de sa bouche et de son nez, l'empêchant de respirer. Voyant d'autres cicatrices autour de son poignet, Ermes comprend à quel point McQueen est un fou suicidaire et qu'elle doit l'arrêter d'une manière ou d'une autre. Ermes est forcée dans la même position à l'envers que McQueen à cause de Highway to Hell. Ermes duplique son nez pour pouvoir respirer l'air et gagne assez de temps pour faire tomber McQueen du robinet. Encore une fois, McQueen explique sa dépression parce qu'il n'y a aucune chance qu'il puisse rembourser sa dette ou même lui parler à nouveau. Furieuse, Ermes dit à McQueen de ne plus l'approcher et menace de le tuer et McQueen accepte. Nerveuse, Ermes s'enfuit et emporte le disque mémoire de McQueen avec elle.
Rencontre avec Emporio, Weather et Anasui
Sur le chemin du quartier des femmes, Ermes rencontre un petit garçon jouant à la balle dans un escalier. C'est Emporio Alnino. Ermes touche la balle et réalise alors qu'une fente sur le mur existe. Emporio l'entraine dans la fente et elle se retrouve dans une salle de musique mystérieuse, avec deux autresprisonniers près du piano. Emporio présente sa capacité à Ermes et le fonctionnement de la salle fantôme, et précise qu'il n'est pas un fantôme. Emporio explique ensuite ce qui s'est passé avec Jolyne et lui demande ce qu'elle a appris du balayeur. Ermes lui montre le disque de McQueen mais leur conversation est interrompue quand Ermes sent un choc sur son bras. McQueen essaie de s’électrocuter. Pour aider Ermes, Emporio explique que McQueen va probablement rechercher de l'eau saline pour pouvoir s'électrocuter correctement. Ermes se souvient qu'il y a une bonne quantité d'eau saline utilisée pour laver les plaies à côté de la salle médicale et se précipite là-bas. Comme il y a trop de témoins potentiels, Emporio décide de rester dans sa salle.
Ermes wins against McQueen
Ermes finds Thunder McQueen in the medical room tied with a denuded power cable and ready to electrocute himself to death. He douses himself in saline water and a panicking Ermes tries to dissuade him from killing himself. She explains that he risks killing her alongside himself and tries to make him see the bright side of life. McQueen explains the extremely unlucky circumstances in which he was condemned for murder. Seeing him ready to end his life, Ermes tries to promise her to give him her panties but McQueen retorts that she's only being nice to save herself and calls himself trash again. Ermes loses her composure and speaks her mind, calling him a selfish scum who only thinks of himself. This pushes McQueen over the edge, who decides to kill himself and Ermes so that they can die together. Ermes runs towards McQueen who flips the switch to electrocute himself. Thankfully, she manages to put a sticker on McQueen's face. The sticker duplicates McQueen's head and burns out due to the electricity, making the two heads fuse together. The shock knocks Highway to Hell's Stand DISC out of McQueen, making him harmless.
Ermes remembers McQueen's stash and retrieves $5,000 from it. Now aware of Whitesnake and wanting to stop this chaos, Ermes decides to seek Jolyne and cooperate with her.
Foo Fighters
There is an intruder, but who?
By looking at McQueen'sDISC, Jolyne and Ermes find a hidden stash of discs near a farm.
Incidentally, two prisoners disappear in the farmlands surrounding the facility. Loccobarocco gathers the female prisoners to gather a search party. Jolyne volunteers, as well as Ermes. They and three other prisoners are cuffed with explosive bracelets and must run to the farmlands behind their supervisor, from whom they must not get too far away from or else the cuffs will explode. On the farmlands, the duo take out McQueen's disc and confirm that there is a stash of DISCS hidden in the tyre of a tractor. The guard tells the two to start searching but Ermes makes a disapproving remark, attracting the guard's anger. He hits Ermes' bracelet with his baton and tries to make her fall on feces, but Jolyne pulls a leaf to cover the feces as Ermes falls on it, splashing the guard's trousers. However, the guard angrily orders everyone to go toward the swamp instead of the hangar where the farming equipment is kept. Suddenly, Jolyne and Ermes notice that there are now 6 of them among the female prisoners. Furthermore, the guard is killed while everyone is distracted. The prisoner must seek the body but one of them dies when she accidentally strays too far.
F.F. pursues Jolyne & Ermes
It is clear that an enemy is there and Ermes discovers a peculiar creature in the water that drags her away, with the bucket stuck on her face. This small creature also seems to multiply in the water. Using Kiss, Ermes breaks the bucket but is still in the middle of the water and the creature has grown to a human sized monster. Jolyne comes to her and fights the monster. It is a match for Stone Free but Jolyne repels it. Jolyne tries to pull herself and Ermes back to the land, but the enemy pursues them and manages to grab Jolyne's leg. Ermes puts a sticker on its arm and kicks it away, damaging it and forcing it to let go. The enemy writhes in pain while Jolyne and Ermes manage to join solid ground.
One of the prisoners is an enemy but they cannot remember the five original members. The dilemma is rendered moot when it is revealed that the enemy is controlling the bodies of all of the prisoners. The enemy is a sentient plankton colony named Foo Fighters. It splits itself in two: one body runs to the hangar to hide the DISCS and a second one grabs the body of the guard, aiming to indirectly kill Jolyne and Ermes. Ermes takes car of the one in the swamp, Jolyne runs back to the farmland. Ermes attacks with Kiss and tricks Foo Fighter into chopping a decoy arm. That way she can take the guard back to the land. Foo Fighters splashes the land around Ermes, allowing itself to come and pin Ermes to the ground but Ermes takes one of the dried corpse Foo Fighters was possessing and destroys it, the dry dust sprinkling Foo Fighters and taking the moisture off it. This part of Foo Fighter dies and Ermes can lift the guard's closer to the hangar.
F.F. allies itself with Jolyne and takes Atroe's corpse
Jolyne forces the other Foo Fighters to run on dry soil, which almost kills it and Ermes prepares to deal the finishing blow. However, Jolyne spares Foo Fighters and gives it some water despite Ermes' protestations, figuring that it didn't know any better and only wanted to survive. Touched, Foo Fighters accepts to become Jolyne's ally and they get Jotaro's Stand DISC. Foo Fighters disguises itself as a woman named Etro to pass off as a prisoner. They retrieve Jotaro's Stand DISC and Foo Fighters explains that this stash is only a hiding spot for DISCS Whitesnake doesn't need. It hides in in its cleavage when the guards arrive. The trio make up a story to keep suspicions off themselves. This whole operation catches the attention of Whitesnake's User, the prison priest Enrico Pucci.
The next day, Ermes, Jolyne and Foo Fighters play catch with a ball and gloves. Miraschon comes to them and bets $100 that they cannot complete their 100th consecutive throw although Jolyne and F.F. are already at 87 throws. Jolyne is suspicious but Ermes convinces her that they will need the money to contact the Speedwagon Foundation and proposes to pitch in. Besides, she argues, Miraschon would have attacked them already with some weapon or ability if she was an enemy. Despite suspicious interferences, Jolyne and F.F. complete their 100 throws, meaning Miraschon has to pay $200 in total to each of the player.
However, Miraschon makes another bet that they cannot complete 100 throws again, but for $1,000. The new bet entices Ermes to play with F.F. while Jolyne steps aside. However, it soon becomes apparent that the free time is over and everyone is beginning to put their balls back. A guard confronts F.F. and orders it to stop playing. The trio tries to postpone the bet but Miraschon refuses. Ermes is forced to bribe the guard for $100 so that he looks elsewhere for 2 minutes. However, when F.F. throws again and Ermes readies herself to catch it, the guard snatches the glove. Ermes finds herself without glove and fails to catch it. Before it reaches the ground, Ermes must use her secret ploy. Having stuck a piece of gum to the ball and keeping a duplicate on her, she peels the sticker off to forces the ball back in her hands.
However, this makes an enemy Stand appear. Marilyn Manson, the debt collector, appears to take the debt because it is automatically detected that Ermes was cheating. It takes the cash on her, which amounts to $380. Ermes summons Kiss to attack but it is ineffective; likewise, Foo Fighters cannot harm it and it takes one of her gold tooth, $30 more. Marilyn Manson finally takes Ermes' liver since she thought about it. Ermes is out of commission and Jolyne must step in. For the remainder of the fight, Ermes stumbles through the ward without a liver but Jolyne manages to make Marilyn Manson give the liver back to Ermes, which saves her.
Kiss of Love & Revenge
Ermes assassinates Maxx
Ermes decided to accomplish her primary objective: assassinate Sports Maxx and avenging Gloria. She stalks him for a time to learn his habits and see where he is the most vulnerable. At the chapel, Ermes' approach is interrupted by Enrico Pucci, the prison priest. Later, Ermes singles out Maxx in the workshop where he stuffs animals. She lures Maxx near a pipe with a photo of Gloria. When he takes it, Maxx peels off a sticker and makes the pipe and its hidden duplicate merge together, trapping Maxx. To seal the deal, Ermes creates another duplicate to cover the hole left by the merging and turns the pipe into a coffin for Maxx. However, she soon hears a disquieting incantation.
Something invisible approaches her, something coming from a stuffed colibri and with bird legs. Worried by a flapping sound, Ermes sees her finger being suddenly cut off and something pecking her face. She attacks blindly with Kiss but loses trace of the enemy, who then manifests itself by pulling her carotid artery out. Ermes duplicates her jacket to trap the invisible enemy in it and punches it against a wall, destroying the stuffed colibri. Confused, Ermes realizes that Maxx has a Stand ability but doesn't understand why he hasn't attacked yet and thus theorizes tha Maxx has a different purpose. Something else then knocks the table and Ermes sees a stuffed alligator. Realizing the danger, she tries to run away and hangs on the pipes on the ceiling. She then sees Maxx' pipe breaking. Jolyne and F.F. barge in and thankfully manage to defeat the alligator.
Ermes beats Maxx
The three follow Sports Maxx's trail to the prison cemetery where Sports Maxx summons a mob of invisible zombies. Jolyne is wounded but Ermes is conscious that Sports Maxx will be going for her personally. She lets herself be grabbed and devoured by the zombie mob, awaiting the moment Maxx tries to bite off her head. However, she splits her head with the stickers, protecting the original, and attacks. Maxx reveals that he's detached his head to throw off Ermes and overwhelms her thanks to his invisibility. However, as Ermes collapses and Maxx leaps to deal the finishing blow, the piece that he bit off burst out of his body. Ermes has peeled off the sticker on her head and lets the piece of head fly out of Maxx to see his current position. This allows Ermes to violently beat him up with Kiss. Maxx tries to flee but Ermes has put another sticker on his head, allowing her to track him. Ermes finishes off Maxx and gets her revenge, but his gravely wounded and her head split open.
Going out of Prison
Jolyne picks up Ermes during her evasion
Ermes remained in intensive medical care after her battle with Sports Maxx and does not appear again until Jolyne escapes from prison. Ermes subsequently accompanies Jolyne and Emporio out of the prison. They head for Romeo Jisso's house and Ermes creates a duplicate of his tongue to listen to what he says. Romeo Jisso gives Jolyne the key to a helicopter and then calls the police. Ermes plans on peeling off the sticker to punish him but Romeo then misleads the enemy. Jolyne still peels the sticker off as a precaution.
Sky High
In the helicopter, Jolyne feels Pucci's presence and asks Emporio to head West toward Orlando. Ermes notices that one of the windows is open and closes it, but feels something passing close to her hand. Suddenly Emporio's eyelids fall down and he is blinded. As Ermes' eyelids close too, she can see that everyone's eyes are now forcefully shut and Jolyne is bleeding. Jolyne manages to force her eyelids open, and sees that the helicopter is crashing while Emporio is unable to find the autopilot button. Ermes yells that something is inside the helicopter with them, but it manages to avoid Jolyne's string net, making its presence unconfirmed.
Ermes sees that her hand is inflated and cannot understand the nature of the enemy. However, Jolyne decides to use extreme ways and makes everyone jump out of the helicopter. The falling speed allows Ermes to spot a skyfish Kiss crushes, but many skyfishes follow. Having attached herself to the helicopter, Jolyne manages to soften their fall and all crash into the water, unharmed and well again. However, the enemy Rikiel awaits them. Jolyne, Emporio and Ermes see that the corpse of the skyfish Ermes killed is melting away, explaining how they weren't discovered until now. Understanding that Rikiel must be controlling the skyfishes, Emporio urges Jolyne to first learn how the rods function. Jolyne and Ermes approach Rikiel, ready to fight, although Rikiel knows it will be to his advantage. However Jolyne and Ermes work out quickly why Rikiel is trying to lure them closer, and discover one of his weaknesses. Disturbed, Rikiel's bad luck begins to reappear as his bike is sinking in the mud and the loses his keys.
Ermes cannot defend herself against Sky High
Ermes uses Kiss to throw pebbles at Rikiel, but the skyfishes deviate them. However, those pebbles where doubles Kiss created and Ermes manages to hit Rikiel's head from two sides as she detaches the stickers. Overwhelmed by the multiple rocks Jolyne and Ermes throw at him, Rikiel begins to lose his confidence: his illnesses come back and the skyfishes stay still in the air, deprived of their master. Yet, Rikiel finds his keys, and manages to control the rods again, stopping Ermes from throwing any more rocks by manipulating her hands indirectly. Confident again, Rikiel rants about Apollo 11's symbol as a triumph of the human spirit as he prepares his next attack. Emporio now begins to urinate his own blood, and Ermes' fingers begin to fall off. Rikiel's attack has caused Emporio to urinate blood while Ermes's fingers are falling off. Jolyne rushes toward Rikiel trying to punch the skyfishes, but they effortlessly avoid Stone Free's strikes. Jolyne's ankle joint suddenly bends backward, immobilizing her. Rikiel then begins to toy with Ermes, forcing her to talk thanks to the skyfishes. Emporio manages to work out the mechanisms of the attacks and warns Jolyne, but Rikiel puts them out of commission. Ermes's eyes and throat swelling while damaged tissues is spat out of her mouth. Thankfully, Jolyne manages to defeat Rikiel. Rikiel then reveals that Weather is Pucci's younger brother, but is interrupted when Kiss puts him out of commission and Ermes violently punches his head against the ground, dismissing his claims. Jolyne, Ermes and Emporio now leave for Orlando.
In Orlando
Donatello loses to Jolyne & Ermes
Jolyne, Ermes and Emporio soon reach the hospital in which Pucci is hiding. Before going in, Jolyne lets Emporio stay outside and gives him Jotaro's memory DISC. However, Donatello Versus, the third of DIO's sons, intervenes with his Stand Under World. A stray bullet flies from a room, catching Jolyne and Ermes' attention. They enter the room and see a sinkhole in which are Pucci and Versus. Jolyne goes into the hole. However, a memory of Sports Maxx appears and drags Ermes in the hole and Ermes finds herself in the memory of a plane bound to crash. Jolyne briefly exits the plane, finds herself in a fighter jet and decides to make the fighter jet collide with the plane. Emporio informs them that precisely two passengers survived. The pair find their seat but Under World throws a couple of sick children on the seat. Nonetheless, Ermes and Jolyne cooperate to survive. Ermes duplicates the memories of the survivors to act as protection for her and the children, and Jolyne unravels herself to hide inside Ermes. Jolyne confronts Versus and immobilizes him, but Versus reveals Weather Report's memory DISC that he's stolen from Pucci. Under World returns the DISC to Weather, and several rainbows appear.
Turning into a snail & eaten by carabes
As Weather regains his memories, he awakens a previously sealed power named Heavy Weather. When Ermes accidentally touches the rainbow, her arm turns into a bunch of snail eggs and she herself slowly turns into one. They try to get out of the hospital, but a swarm of snails is blocking the exit. Moreover, Jolyne has touched Ermes and is also slowly turning into a snail. Navigating the main hall manage to create a safe path by duplicating a glass window and surfing on it, the duo reach a car, but their condition as half-snails prevents them from driving properly and they crash near Versus and Emporio. Worse, a horde of carabs appears to devour the snails. The duo barely escapes the carabs and Jolyne pursues Donatello.
Versus summons the Miami Dolphins to push Jolyne away but she hides inside a pipe, rolls towards Versus, and attacks. When Versus summons a memory of the salt to dehydrate Jolyne's body, her arm is dessicated and Versus obtains Jotaro's memory DISC. Nonetheless, Jolyne has touched Emporio who has touched Versus and thus Versus is turned into a snail. The heroes subsequently capture Versus and force him to drive their car.
Unfortunately, they crash the car against Weather Report and Pucci, who were in the middle of a fight. The distraction allows the priest to kill his brother and escape. Jolyne tries to attack Pucci but it is revealed that it was Versus turned into an illusion. Versus is dead, and so is Weather Report. Thankfully, they acquire his mighty Stand Weather Report, in the form of a DISC. They also manage to give Jotaro's memory DISC back to the Speedwagon Foundation.
Cape Canaveral
Ermes is taken away by the shifting gravity
On their way to Cape Canaveral, Ermes spots and alligator. Still angry about the invisible zombie alligator, she and Jolyne take a small revenge by tossing something at it. As they approach the Kennedy Space Center, the group try to plan their approach. However, the group then falls victim of a gravitional anomaly pushing them sideways. The ground can now be considered as an enormous cliff with the sideways gravity keeping them away from the space center. The group must escape the falling car but Ermes fails to catch Jolyne as a debris knocks her out and Ermes is pushed away. However, Ermes then meets Jotaro Kujo who was revived and the Speedwagon Foundation. Ermes duplicates a metal harpoon and the foundation manages to shoot it towards the Kennedy Space Center. By peeling off the sticker, Ermes and Jotaro are able to have the duplicate pull them towards the center and join the fight against Enrico Pucci. However, Pucci discovers a way to obtain the ultimate power early and unlocks Made in Heaven before he can be stopped. The center in engulfed in a light.
The heroes see that time is accelerating
Some time later, the group wakes up unharmed while approaching helicopters confirm that gravity has returned to normal. Somehow, everyone was moved 200 meters from the shuttle, and the priest has disappeared. Jotaro can still sense Pucci though, and Ermes claims that Pucci is hiding, entering a building to protect herself from an incoming rain. However, everyone finds themselves soaked, and the rain has already stopped. Suddenly, the automatic door of the building closes itself at a tremendous speed on Ermes. Dumbfounded, Ermes escapes with some difficulties due to the speed of the door. Jotaro now notices that he's dried off, and Anasui, trying to stop an unbalanced rock from falling on Ermes, realizes that it's already fallen. Jolyne, looking at the already setting sun, realizes that things are going way more rapidly than usual.
While everyone decides to move away from the open space, Jotaro stops time with Star Platinum, managing to see the new Stand briefly. Time resumes, to Jotaro's dismay who sees that his power has been accelerated as well, leaving him less time to act. Anasui and the others pull Jotaro up a roof, and Anasui uses this moment to stupidly ask permission to marry Jolyne from her father, dumbfounding Jotaro although Jolyne accepts to hear him later. Jotaro stops time and sees Pucci and his Stand Made in Heaven bending a palm tree to use it as a catapult, eventually thrown to the roof faster than Jotaro can react. Due to his overwhelming speed advantage, Pucci mortally wounds Jotaro but Diver Down absorbs the damage. The roof is unsafe now and thus the heroes ties themselves together. Shooting a bullet while holding a replica of the bullet from Kiss, they are able to "fly" around but Pucci still pursues them. It is here that Anasui dooms the group and tells Emporio to shoot towards the sea where Pucci has supposedly nowhere to hide. During the flight, Anasui formulates his plan. With the heroes so close together, Diver Down can protect them all and shield them. The moment Pucci attack, Jotaro will have an opportunity to retaliate. Seeing hope in this plan, Jolyne tells Anasui that he can ask her for her hands when this battle is over.
Made in Heaven kills Ermes
In the water, the group realizes their mistake. The accelerating time causes a heavy tide and the waves block the view. Pucci manipulates Stone Free to kill Anasui and throws knives at Jolyne. Fearing for his daughter, Jotaro loses time pushing her aside. Time resumes before he can properly attack and Jotaro's head is split in two by Made in Heaven. Similarly, Ermes' arms are cut off. Her corpse rots away in the water.
After Emporio Alnino manages to defeat and kill Pucci, Ermes' alternate universe counterpart is seen being ejected from a bus for attempting to pay with a fifty-dollar bill. The counterpart feels infuriated and even wonders if the bus driver mistook her for an inmate of Green Dolphin St. Jail. She then meets Emporio and asks him for change for the bill. Afterward, she and Emporio meet Narciso Anasui's counterpart Anakiss and Jolyne's counterpart Irene, who invite them to ride with them in exchange for Ermes' money for gas. Ermes feels skeptical at first, as her older sister told her not to ride with strangers, but the coming rain forces her to give them the gas money and ride with the group. The group later picks up Weather Report's counterpart after refilling the car's gas tank.
Relations
Famille
Gloria Costello: Ermes greatly cared for her older sister. Because of their mother's absence, Gloria becomes a mother figure to her, despite having no interest in helping her with their family's restaurant. When she is killed by Sports Maxx, she went as far as getting herself arrested to avenge her.
Alliés
Jolyne Cujoh: Ermes is possibly the first true friend that Jolyne encounters in her life when they meet and bond in jail. Her relationship with Ermes resembles that of Jotaro Kujo's relationship with Jean Pierre Polnareff. Similar to Josuke Higashikata's relationship with Okuyasu Nijimura in Diamond is Unbreakable; Jolyne and Ermes see each other as worthy allies and friends, and because of their similar temper, get along well and kill time together. She has fought alongside Jolyne against many powerful enemies like Sports Maxx, Rikiel, & Donatello Versus.
Foo Fighters: Ermes and Foo Fighters meet as enemies, but even though she is reluctant to let Jolyne spare the plankton-Stand, they quickly become friends later on. Ermes inevitably starts putting her trust on F.F. when Ermes is attacked by Marilyn Manson. Later on, they stand side-by-side with Jolyne in retrieving Jotaro's stolen discs. After her battle with her sister's killer, Sports Max, F.F. is the first person to treat her, though she was still in a critical condition.
Emporio Alnino: Ermes is the first person whom Emporio approaches when Jolyne is locked in confinement after their encounter with Johngalli A. He also quickly notices Ermes' new profound Stand ability, which he then uses as a reason for them to help Jolyne and retrieve Jotaro's memory and Stand discs that were taken by Whitesnake. This acquaintance soon proves valuable as they become two of Jolyne's most trusted allies. They work together until the end, especially during their pursuit to stop Pucci and Made In Heaven.
Narciso Anasui: Ermes first meets Anasui in Emporio's secret room, though she was initially unbothered by his presence. They become allies during their pursuit for Pucci at Cape Canaveral. After Pucci finally achieves heaven and unlocks Made In Heaven, Ermes and Anasui work side-by-side in defeating him, together with the rest of the group, despite knowing the odds against it.
Weather Report: While Ermes and Weather are considered acquaintances through Jolyne, they are never seen to have interacted once with each other. However, Ermes still cries when Weather Report dies, implying they grew close some time before his death.
Ennemis
Sports Maxx: As the man who had her sister killed, Ermes despised Sports Maxx and got herself imprisoned just to take revenge. She finally gets her revenge when she pummeled his reanimated corpse.
Enrico Pucci: Although Ermes has no real qualms against Enrico Pucci. The many assassins the priest sends against Jolyne and thus herself cause her to antagonize Pucci.
Thunder McQueen: Ermes and McQueen incidentally meet when McQueen tries to steal her money and Ermes beats him up for it. However, McQueen reveals his Highway to Hell, forcing Ermes to act nice toward him to stop him from committing suicide although she doesn't care in reality and despises him for wanting to drag someone down with him.
Miraschon: When Miraschon introduces herself, Ermes mistakes her for a loony inmate and plans to take her wage with ease. However, Miraschon reveals herself as a Stand User and takes some of Ermes' vital organs.
I know! My panties! My panties! Have you ever received a pair of panties. If a girl gave you her panties, you'd feel lucky, right? Right now, you're in the middle of the worst situation in your entire life... but... if you got a pipon hot pair of panties right now, it'd mean that lucky things can happen to you even at the absolute worst times... Kyaaaa! I'm so embarrassed! I'm going to give them to youuu... my pantiiies! The ones I'm going to pull off right heeere! See? Lucky things can happen, can't they?
You can scream all you want... call for help... the only one who're gonna hear you are the cockroaches and rats. You're gonna end up in the gutter too!!! Come on, scream, Sports Max!!!!
Listen, Jolyne. This is between me and him. 'course, there's gonna be people who say that revenge isn't gonna bring back my sister. They don't get it. Others will say forgiveness is what matters. But, I sure as hell don't want to life my life forcing myself to forget the fact that my sister was thrown away in a fucking gutter, and besides, I've already made up my mind! Revenge is for settling your score with your own destiny!!
All right, this kick was for Gloria... looks like I broke your nose. But, just imagine that it was Gloria who just busted your face. And this is also for Gloria!!!
They're all for Gloria!!!! This one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one, and this one!!!!!!
Ermes makes her video game debut in the PS3 title. She was confirmed for the game along with Jolyne, Part 4 Josuke, and Okuyasu. She's the only non-DLC ally character from Part 6.
Alongside all playable members of Bruno Bucciarati's Gang of Part 5 (with the exception of Narancia Ghirga), Ermes is one of the only characters who activate Resolve Mode instead of the normal Rumble Mode when low on health. In this state, attacks that do not result in hard knockdowns or blow-backs no longer phase the character.
As one of the mass majority of playable characters in the game with the "Stand" Style, Ermes can turn Kiss on/off, changing move sets, as well as having access to the Stand Rush ability returning from the Capcom game, being able to attack in conjunction with her Stand. Ermes has 1050 HP.
Style/Specials/Etc
Stand On/Off
ON GROUND
Ermes can summon or call off her Kiss, changing the way she plays.
Outta my way!
+ ON GROUND
Ermes kicks high, knocking the opponent off their feet. This move can also hit a downed opponent, and Ermes' skills can be performed instantly following it. (Comboable)
Special Moves
Here's where ya stick it!
+ //ON GROUND
Ermes places stickers on her arms and/or legs, duplicating them. An icon showing that she currently has stickers applied appears above the Heat Heat Gauge, with arm stickers appearing on the left and leg stickers appearing on the right (reversed as Player 2). This skill doubles the number of hits Ermes and Kiss deal in all of their skills and abilities except for her GHA, increasing her overall strength.
Sticker Damage
Passive
If Ermes is knocked to the ground, the stickers on her limbs fall off and disappear, damaging her in the process. Ermes takes more damage if she had stickers on both her arms and legs at the time. She may recover this lost health over time, but must not take any more damage during this process in order to do so.
Take it off and it returns!
+ //ON GROUND
Kiss swings forward with a sticker in its hand. If it connects, the opponent will have their head duplicated, before Ermes pulls the sticker off, damaging them. Many of Ermes' attacks and skills can combo into this ability.
Pretty handy, huh?
+ //ON GROUND
Ermes or Kiss uses a duplicated broom to fly at the opponent. They cannot be hit with low attacks during this move, and can even fly past the opponent. If they touch the opponent, the broom will hit them multiple times and knock them off their feet. If Ermes stops in front of the opponent, the broom will hit them and knock them off their feet. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
Special Moves (Stand Off)
USHAAAA!
+ //ON GROUND
Ermes slides forward and summons Kiss to rapidly punch the opponent, sending them flying with the final hit.
Uryaaaaa!
+ //ON GROUND
Ermes summons Kiss as the both of them unleash an uppercut in unison, knocking the opponent into the air. This move doubles as an anti-air, and if performed on an already airborne opponent, they will be sent much higher. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
Special Moves (Stand On)
Uryaaaaaaaaaaa!
+ //ON GROUND
Kiss performs a punching combo. This move can be inputted up to twice more to unleash new subsequent attacks. On the second input, Kiss continues its assault by kicking the opponent multiple times and sending them into the air. On the third input, Kiss spins around and backhands the airborne opponent, launching them away. (Comboable through Puttsun Cancel)
Right in your grill!
+ //ON GROUND
Ermes and Kiss both unleash a powerful downward spinning kick in unison. If the opponent is hit, they are left crumpling to the ground. (Comboable)
Throw
Get bent!
2 ATK buttons at close range or ON GROUND
Ermes pushes the opponent before taking a sticker off of a broom, causing it and its duplicate appearing behind the opponent to smash together, catching them in the middle.
Heart Heat Attack / Great Heat Attack
I know what you're after!
+ 2 ATK Buttons ON GROUND
Ermes' HHA, "I know what you're after!", is a counterattack, where she puts a sticker on herself and if hit, will kick the opponent away before Kiss delivers a massive counter combo. Ermes will take minor Sticker Damage whether or not the HHA is triggered by the opponent. The HHA's damage is increased if done while "Here's where ya stick it!" is in effect.
Eat this! And this! And--
+ 3 ATK Buttons, or ON GROUND
Ermes' GHA, "Eat this! And this! And--", starts with her taking out a sticker and lunging forward. If she lands the hit, she will slap said sticker on the opponent's head, causing it to duplicate as Kiss kicks the opponent multiple times. The Stand then switches to fists and rushes them repeatedly, gradually raising them into the air. Before allowing the opponent to fall, Ermes quickly snatches the sticker off and turns away, dealing damage as the opponent's head violently merges back into one (similar to how she killed Sports Maxx).
Ermes possesses one alternate costume, which is the outfit her alternate universe version wears.
Ermes was confirmed as a playable character alongside Jolyne, Pucci, and Weather Report.
As a Stand User, Ermes is one of many characters with wildly varied abilities that grant her uniqueness in battle.
Style Action - Here's where ya stick it!: Ermes places stickers on her limbs to duplicate them, starting with her arms, then her legs (she may not apply anymore after that). This skill doubles the number of hits Ermes and Kiss deal in all of their attacks and skills except for DHAs, greatly increasing her overall strength. However, if Ermes is hit or otherwise recoils from any source of damage, the stickers on her limbs fall off and disappear, damaging her in the process. Ermes takes more damage if she had stickers on both her arms and legs at the time.
Have Lance...: Ermes launches a small lance duplicated with a sticker forward, or towards an opponent, if locked on. The lance will send any opponent it hits flying and will also be lodged into their bodies, indicated by an icon of the lance and sticker next to their health gauge. If the skill is used again while a lance is stabbed into an opponent, Ermes takes off the sticker on the lance duplicate she herself has, causing her to propel at high speed towards her target. If she connects, she spears the opponent and leaves them crumpling and vulnerable to further attack. This skill is not affected by Ermes' Style Action.
Uryaaaaaaaaaaa!: Kiss unleashes a barrage of 5 punches. This skill can be inputted up to twice more to unleash new subsequent attacks. On the second input, Kiss continues its assault by kicking 3 times. On the third input, Kiss spins around and delivers a strong backhand, sending opponents flying.
Pull off the sticker, and it tries to turn back to normal.: Ermes stabs a lance into the ground. If this skill is used again while another lance is active, Ermes deactivates the sticker on the first lance she placed, causing it to rapidly fly towards and combine with the second one. If an opponent is between the two lances, they will take damage and be pulled in the direction of the second lance. If they end up at the second lance, they receive extra damage and crumple, left vulnerable to further attack. This skill is not affected by Ermes' Style Action.
EX - Have Lance...: The projectile lance gains a speed and damage boost, and Ermes gains super armor while she's being propelled.
EX - Uryaaaaaaaaaaa!: The skill does more damage and Ermes recovers from using the backfist quicker.

Dual Heat Attacks
Solo - Eat this! And this! And this!: Ermes has Kiss punch the opponent, then the two both unleash a spinning kick that knocks them off their feet. Ermes places stickers on both her arms, duplicating them for both her and her Stand. Kiss proceeds to uppercut the target into the air and unleashes a devastating barrage of punches with an extra set of fists, finishing with a strike that sends them flying.
With Jolyne - We're gonna kick your ass!: Ermes uses Kiss' stickers to create multiple arms for Jolyne and Stone Free. Having done so without warning, she is reprimanded by Jolyne who knows that the stickers' removal will cause her pain. Ermes reminds Jolyne that they are in the middle of a fight, forcing Stone Free to angrily pummel the opponent with an extra set of fists and blowing them back as Ermes laughs.
As with other Stone Ocean characters returning from All Star Battle (except Pucci), Ermes's default and secondary alternate costumes swapped their places; her default costume in ASB is now her secondary costume and vice versa.
En raison de sa manière et de son apparence plutôt masculines, Ermes a reçu le surnom attachant «aniki» (qui veut dire grand frère) parmi les fans japonais.
Araki considère le surnom comme un compliment pour Ermes parce que "cela signifie qu'elle a l'air assez dure pour prendre un vrai coup de poing et être toujours dans le combat."[2]
Araki déclare que la position d'Ermes dans l'histoire est "un peu comme une version féminine de Polnareff".[3] Les deux personnages poursuivent le meurtrier qui a été leur soeurs.
Ermes a à l'origine appelé son Stand, Kiss, comme "Autocollant" en raison de sa capacité.
