Open Source: Gus, The Lummox

Gus, The Lummox
Real Name: "Unknown"
Powers: Supernatural Strength, Faithifery & Ignorant Limitation Transcendence, the last two which can result in Gus gaining abilities by simply believing that she can do them. Though she can lose her powers by either believing that they no longer work or simply forgets that she can do them.
First Appearance: Deviantart (9/2/2019)
Equipment: The Sword of Awesomeness - What should in all circumstances be just a normal steel sword, in Gus' hands it actually gains abilities thanks to Gus' Ignorant Limitation Transcendence & Faithery by believing that it had actual powers. What these powers are depends entirely what Gus thinks it has, so anyone able to convince her that the sword has a specific power, which isn't hard, the sword will actually have that power until Gus believes that it doesn't have it anymore or simply forgets that it has it.

Origin
(---"Some mutations that can result of Elohim Exposure could be considered a blessing, a lot of the times mutations can be considered a curse to some people, see Manhandler and Gonzo Girl as examples. Though there are some mutations that are so powerful, but result in the person recieving them having the mental capacity of a kitchen sponge.

The later of these are perfectly examplified by those dubbed a "Lummox." The Lummox are those whose main ability being able to do the impossible by being either too crazy or too stupid to know it is. Allowing them able to do feats that border on Cartoon Physics simply by believeing that they can do them or not understanding that they shouldn't be able to do them. Such as being able to survive things that would kill a normal person like getting flattened into the dimensions of grease-proof paper and able to reform themselves like a cartoon character getting hit with an anvil. Or even able to consume huge quantities of food and not have their stomach burst open from the strain or even feel discomfort.

Though unfortunately, a Lummox can be considered a disaster waiting to happen, as one is more then capable of causing widespread destruction in their wake. Luckily there are very few of these types of muations, though there is one that people in both The Ever-Changing City and the continent outside it know exist. One that exists in the town of Hallowsville who is actually one of the town's defenders since the people there convinced this Lummox to actually be useful and use their destructive power for good.

This Lummox is only known as "Gus," and she seems to have been a victim of long-term Elohim exposure if her physical characteristics are anything to go by. People aren't even sure if Gus is actually a female, male, both or neither since those that have seen her without clothes on couldn't say anything about it without having their throats clench to prevent them from speaking about it. Though most come to the consenses that she's female due to her voice and general appearance.

And while Gus is as smart as a sack of bricks, she does have enough intelligence to know the difference between what is right and wrong, which does help decrease the amount of collateral damage that she would undoubtedly inflict to everything around her. That and she is able to deduce that the town is in danger if something like a T-Rex or a Tarasque wandered near the town's borders. Still though she does have her drawbacks such as having allergic reactions to rabbits, cats, butterscotch, and eels that make her swell until her flesh is 3 times it's normal size before needing ice to reduce the swelling; and having this weird obsession with farm animals that she likes to hug and cuddle with like they are household pets.

So while Gus is the most powerful of Hallowsville protectors in terms of strength and powerset, she has be watched to make sure she doesn't end up breaking anything important."---)

The concept of The Lummox I actually thought of a long time ago for a fantasy story, though yet again I haven't got far enough to actually introduce them properly. So until then I've added The Lummox to The Super-Sargasso Sea as one of the many types of mutations that one can become. Also, any similarities between Gus, The Lummox and Ed from Ed, Edd n Eddy are clearly circumstantial.
