Ogoun is the spirit of metal. His other attributes are war, farming, healing, and civilization in general. Ogoun is a strong, powerful masculine lwa who believes hard work is the answer to almost any problem. He is a warrior and can be called upon during war-time (whether that be literal or spiritual) to go to battle. Ogoun is very much a part of agriculture. He owns the plows to till the soil and the implements of the harvest. Ogoun is practical and forthright, he does not do what he does for glory or fame. He likes to work with his hands. As a blacksmith or welder, he is able to use fire and metal to create the necessary and the beautiful.

While he is known as a warrior, he is also a healer. Ogoun is a mechanic and can help with car trouble. He likes to hunt and fish and loves the forest. Family is important to Ogoun. He loves his children and will fiercely protect them but he expects a lot from them. He hates laziness in all forms. He can have a terrible temper and can be a mean drunk.

Each of the many aspects of Ogoun have their own personalities and talents. One is associated with healing and is seen as a combat medic, another is a thinker, strategist and diplomat, and many are machete-swinging warriors.
