Androgeus

Orphaned Mole Man, who grew up deep within his tunnel civilization, and is now roaming the overworld in exile.

     While he was working with his father, mining, a fiery explosion was ignited from natural gas, resulting in the death of his sole family, as well as amnesia and a disfigured upper face, with a wrinkled, rosy and sensitive skin. He hides it behind a cloth mask with thin slits for the eyes to see (as holes would let too much light through, blinding him).
     He roams the surface in hopes of finding a new family, and has a positive outlook on life and fate, considering the chance of himself being "born of fire", conflicted with the thought of being a possible demigod or mythical being (possibly his subconscious suppressing the trauma of losing the only one who cared for him? or is it simply amnesia? only through his journey can he find who or what he really is).
     Although he doesn't deal with humans very well, he loves animals and tends to temporarily "adopt" one or two, taking care of them while he can, although he never keeps them because he believes they belong in their natural habitat.
