Personality

Ogun is charismatic, keenly intelligent, and maintains an eerily good relationship with his power, to the point where he and it seem to operate as partners. Ogun is tactically minded, with a grasp of strategy, and the ability to use his power to pull solutions to problems from his surroundings. In personality, he remains passionate, but his actions, especially those toward enemies, are barbaric.

Politically, he consistently argued for the good treatment of women and parahumans and even took the risky stance of advocating for gays. The gentle demeanor didn’t carry over to his actions in war, suggesting a very binary or conflicted nature.

Abilities and Powers

Ogun’s power affects the area around him, turning sections into tinker machinery, though eventually encompassing an entire area, if he remains stationary. This occurs in patches, tending to seize on more immediate surroundings, and favors targeting existing machines, which convert far more quickly and serve as ‘nodes’ that further the spread, especially along wires and other cables. The resulting tinker machinery can include turning things into sprawling computer systems (complete with monitors and the means of interacting with them), turrets, teleportation devices (only to other affected objects), and housings for tinker devices, which he can take with him. He doesn’t have apparent control over what the power does, but hasn’t been reported to complain. Only Ogun has been able to use the technology or items with any success.

History

Background

The city of Addis Ababa was a thriving area. This came about at the hands of Adroa, a relatively benevolent warlord. Ogun mounted a political coup, and managed to stave off international intervention by pointing to Adroa’s ill-treatment of women, gays, and parahumans. When the civil coup failed, Ogun turned to a military coup, and his prior contact with international parties carried over, delaying their reaction as a four year civil war unfolded. Ogun ultimately lost, with thousands having died in the confrontation. Given the difficulty in containing him, and as an apologetic measure for the late intervention, Western groups offered to inter Ogun in the Birdcage.
