Who is Ògún?

Forged, not given.

Ògún is not just a fighter. He is a maker. He understands iron as both weapon and craft, and values the work behind strength as much as the strength itself. His discipline protects him, but that same discipline can harden into rigidity.

Strength

Mastery of iron and metalwork combined with battlefield discipline.

Flaw

Rigidity can make it difficult to bend when the moment demands change.

Motivation

To defend his people using the power of iron, forged rather than simply given.

Core conflict

What happens when strength becomes so fixed that it can no longer adapt.

Power

Iron / forge / metalwork

Forged, not given.

Ògún's power belongs to iron, the forge and the act of making. His visual identity is rooted in a West African blacksmith direction with indigo adire, cowries, mariwo, forge fire and molten metal.
