Abilities: Because of the divine baby shower held for his mom, Gilgamesh received a bunch of useful and useless abilities. Useful ones include strength from Anu, speed from the Winds, and nigh-invulnerability from his father Ninurta. Useless ones include never running out of closet space, never needing to take a shower or wear perfume because the more he sweated the more he would smell like incense and flowers, actually having good Mondays, never making Freudian slips, and being able to style his hair any way that he wanted with the aid of just a comb. In addition, having a perfect body made by the gods means they chiseled out his small defects and enchanted him to keep outside factors to a minimum. Therefore, it removes any uncertainty from his one-on-one combats, ensuring that the end result will be the result of skill alone. In addition, he can manifest a form of supernatural armor that can be put on and taken off at will called a “Glory.” In addition to protecting him from blows, it also physically and mentally oppresses the opponent, inspiring in them a feeling of dread as well as sometimes crushing weapons of lesser grade. However, it is possible to resist Gilgamesh’s Glory, whether it be through force of will or superpowers. His housemates have also developed a resistance to his powers by simply associating with him for a long time. Thus, Morgan can march up to him with his Glory fully activated and pull him home by the ear.
As a minor god, he is immortal and eternally young. This has helped him get out of more than one scrape. He can completely heal most of his injuries as well as regenerate lost limbs, but this usually takes a long time and lots of energy. However, for simple injuries like cuts, his regenerative abilities are quicker than that of humans. Due to his status as a god, he also has a supply of magical energy, but has to date only used it for a summoning spell. He is also resistant to holy magic of other pantheons.
Because of his divine as well as memetic status, Gilgamesh is powered at least partly off belief, meaning that as long as he believes he is the greatest hero, he will be the greatest hero. In other words, he runs off of his own ego. However, the power offered to him by his belief is limited and when confronted with much stronger beings, he can still lose.
His power to never run out of closet space means cleaning days are a thing of nightmares. His stuff is usually held in a large hardwood wardrobe that is definitely bigger on the inside than it is on the outside. Once it is opened and people actually bother to dig through the mess, it will be discovered that he has a large collection of stuff, ranging from legendary swords and shields, to death rays stolen off mad scientists, to Dracula’s underwear and photos of Marilyn Monroe. Most of this stuff is, again, never used and in some cases, he forgets that he even had it begin with.
Needless to say, he lost all of these abilities upon arrival in Mayfield. However, he is still a good hand to hand combatant with experience wielding many types of weapons because of his experiences over the years. His favorite weapon, however, is a poleaxe both for its practicality and appearance. Like it was mentioned in his profile, he is actually pretty bright, using his intelligence to think up “awesome” capers during his everyday life and strategies during disasters.
