Wanderer

A protagonist driven by deep introspection and existential crisis to embark on endless physical and psychological journeys.

The thrill of the unknown, both external and internal. It's the vastness of the world mirroring the vastness of the soul's questions, the ache of displacement, and the quiet hope that meaning can be found just over the next horizon.
