The Action Survivor is an Innocent Bystander in dangerous circumstances. They won't so much get The Call as be pinned by a telephone pole, thus trapping them in an adventure that a more qualified Action Hero would have trouble sorting out.
The Action Survivor is the opposite of the Action Hero; They're pretty normal in just about every way. If the Action Hero is ostensibly a fantasy idealized self, the Action Survivor is more of a self-insertion for the viewer, someone the audience can easily relate to. However, Wish-Fulfillment figures into this character's development. While outrunning shadowy evildoers and keeping the MacGuffin out of reach, they'll discover they're far more cunning, resourceful and resilient than they gave themselves credit for. They'll likely learn more along the way.
Some movies will even give the protagonist a power upgrade via ancient prophecy/the one-ness, etc. Most films forgo this for Badass Normal. If the character gains superpowers this way, expect them to have to go from Super Loser to competent.
Traits include:
Average to toned body
Perma-Stubble at low setting
Light of foot rather than big and tough (think Deadly Dodging vs. Made of Iron)
Generally, they'll suck at fighting and need rescuing, choose flight, or win just by sheer luck and the skin of their teeth.
Gets very angry when someone they care about is threatened.
"What the fuck is this!" reaction to action, which doesn't stop them from...
Being amazingly good at improvising and just plain surviving the story's action, hence the trope name.
Note that they're not just good at "merely" surviving the adventure like a mangled heap of bones, but is quite capable of surviving mostly unharmed while somehow managing to delay or disrupt the Evil Plan enough to foil the bad guy. In fact, said villain will likely be blindsided by their involvement because they planned for everything except this Spanner in the Works.
One trait of these types is that they're uncommonly decent. They'll often get at least one chance to walk away (often given "in good faith" by the villain), but choose to keep fighting rather than run away because of altruism, love, upbringing, a sense of duty or they're bored with their small lives and choose to keep adventuring for the fun of it.
The Action Survivor is common not only in action movies but also horror movies and video games, where an unprofessional protagonist adds to the desperate horror feel.
By the adventure's end you can expect them to be incredibly happy to have things go back to normal, although their growth throughout the adventure means they'll be standing up to his Pointy-Haired Boss, dump their harpy girlfriend for their One True Love, or not go back to their normal life.
Related to the Final Girl — a specifically female, horror movie version. The Right Man in the Wrong Place is often this type of hero. On the Super Weight scale, they're primarily Muggle Weight, sometimes making the jump to Iron Weight upon taking a level in badass. See also Action Duo. Also compare Unfazed Everyman, Invincible Incompetent.

Terminator:
Sarah Connor is especially this in the first film, but Took a Level in Badass and has changed completely to badass Action Hero by the second movie.
In Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines, Kate Brewster — aside from a moment where she shoots down a Hunter-Killer, prompting John to say she reminds him of his mom.
In Terminator: Dark Fate, Dani Ramos has a similar start as Sarah did. Doesn't start out as an Action Girl, but grows into it over the course of the film. By the end, she doesn't hesitate to take on the Rev-9 solo.

Worm has Sierra, Charlotte, and Forrest, a trio of normal civilians who, through various circumstances, end up becoming lieutenants to Skitter after she takes charge of the boardwalk district in Brockton Bay. As a group, their net sum of superpowers, fighting skills, and any formal training at all is exactly zero, but they still manage to keep the crime-ridden boardwalk going even after Skitter leaves, and even manage to survive The End of the World as We Know It.

Forum of Thrones:
Jenna Harking is nothing but a simple servicemaid in the castle of Raylansfair. She herself suffers from a terrible lack of self-esteem and starts the story with no actual skill in anything related to action. She goes on to become one of the story's most prominent survivors, after managing to hold her own against Wolfius for a while and slowly becoming a more capable and active person. She ultimately plays a key role in taking down Septon Corbin and also provides a problem for Sherryl.
Ellena Terys, the youngest of the Point-of-View characters, is barely a teenager and accordingly not equipped to take care of herself. She goes through great hardships, being resourceful, cunning, and sometimes plain lucky. All the while, her main goal is to actually find a peaceful place to stay and live.

John McClane, from Die Hard, was initially an Action Survivor Action Hero. In fact, the movie became an instant classic largely because of the contrast between McClane and the ubermensch Action Hero characters of Sylvester Stallone, Arnold Schwarzenegger, and a million B-movie "stars". Not to say that McClane isn't a certifiable badass, but in the first movie, he's pretty much an ordinary cop thrust into extraordinary circumstances, and he spends much of the film bleeding and swearing at his ill fortune in having been caught up in the plot.His sidekicks in each movie, none of whom wanted to get involved, are more traditional Action Survivors. Officer Al Powell was picking up Twinkies, Zeus Carver was just looking after his electronics shop, and the Justin Long guy was a dweeby hacker.

The main cast of 20th Century Boys. None of them, except Otcho, are particularly strong, fast, or badass, and they're all up against a Big Bad trying to take over the world with the help of a brainwashed cult. Admittedly, they do level up over the course of the story (especially Kenji).

Dragon Age:
The City Elf Warden in Dragon Age: Origins has limited weapons training, very little combat experience (fighting through Arl Howe's palace was probably their first actual battle), and has never seen a darkspawn before. They pick it up rather quickly.
Hawke in Dragon Age II was either a regular grunt in the Ferelden army or a barely-trained apostate mage. Once they get to Kirkwall, they start to take levels in badass very quickly.

Given that the main characters of Bone are mostly normal people thrust into a Hero's Journey, there are a few of these.
Fone Bone is by far the most notable example of this. He's very, very far from a being fighter (the most he ever does in combat is bean a couple of Rat Creatures on the head with rocks), but he can handle himself in dangerous situations, managed to survive in the wilderness throughout a really bad winter, and is pretty much solely responsible for defeating the Big Bad once and for all.
Thorn is a farm girl who's never seen a legitimate battle in her life, but has good reflexes and can use a sword with decent skill. However, after Character Development, time, and a dab of Xenafication, she becomes more competent.
Smiley Bone is an innocent goofball most of the time who clearly should not be in the middle of the war the protagonists find themselves in, but still manages to scrape by the series' more dangerous encounters through a combination of dumb luck and surprisingly good survival instincts.

Sluggy Freelance:
Zoë has to play this role a lot since she's the Unfazed Everyman of the team. Since becoming one of the strip's Weirdness Magnets, she's had to defend herself from vampires, demons, Eldritch Abominations, zombies, brainwashed assassins, and even rabbits. All with no special skills beyond occasionally turning into a camel. She mainly gets by on luck, cleverness, and the fact that almost everyone else in the Sluggy universe is an idiot.
Torg, to a lesser extent, until he Took a Level in Badass. Not only does he lack the skills that he should require to have survived all the bizarre and dangerous situations he's been thrust into, he's also in the habit of acting in a humorously dumb way even when in danger.

In Arrow three of the female characters qualify: Laurel whose drive for justice and involvement with the Vigilante sometimes mean she has to fight off an attack using self-defense lessons (as opposed to actual martial arts/or battle training); Thea clocks a thug with a bottle in 1x23 to protect Roy; and Moira shoots the Vigilante when he comes to question her. Even Oliver himself counts in the flashbacks, as he starts out as a whiny, spoiled rich boy who progressively turns into a hardened bow-toting killer from his experiences over his five-year absence.

Plenty in Zone of the Enders: Dolores, as its premise is an ordinary family thrust into world-shaking events. James may or may not count as he is actually pretty big and has had military training, though he starts off pretty damn rusty and with none of the 'elite pilot/man of destiny' badges given to the other ZOE main characters. His son Leon, on the other hand, is a meek and pussywhipped computer programmer with an obvious Oedipus complex, yet manages to surprise even himself by facing up to vicious beatings, pushes his programming and mathematical skills to their absolute limit (he is the primary designer of a module for atmospheric entry at one point, despite having no training and only scrap to work with), and showing remarkably quick thinking in a crisis.He contrasts nicely with his sister Noel, who takes after her father by being tough, bluntly spoken, and powerfully built. She however often comes across as a Faux Action Girl, possibly because she's far too levelheaded to perform the moments of terrified bravery her brother manages. Perhaps he realises she's far more masculine and infinitely less whiny (though that's like being less hot than the sun...) than he will ever be and feels the need to compensate.

The War of the Worlds (1898): An example Older Than Radio, the protagonist pretty much does nothing to actually advance the plot; he's little more than an observer of the unfolding Martian invasion. Better still, he's just trying to stay alive long enough to reunite with his wife, whom he had left with relatives when the Martians first touched down.

While the Like a Dragon setting is relatively mundane compared to most, certain protagonists stand out for their plainness.
Tatsuo Shinada of Yakuza 5 is a former professional baseball player turned struggling masseuse parlor reviewer who never had any dealings with the criminal underworld of the setting until the start of his story, where he's tasked with investigating the events that led to him being barred from his beloved sport. While he's still a capable fighter with an exceptional physique, his fighting style is easily the clumsiest and most awkward to use of the player characters and he's often completely out of his depth with all the danger he faces.
A fair number of the party members in Yakuza: Like a Dragon come from even more mundane backgrounds. Yu Nanba is a former nurse turned hobo, Saeko is a hostess and Eri is a questionably competent businesswoman. The latter two stands out since the series didn't have a lot of ass-kicking women up to that point, but they nonetheless get embroiled in a grand criminal conspiracy that leads them to take on crime syndicates, the Governor of Tokyo and even survive a fight against Kazuma Kiryu himself alongside absurdities such as tigers, bears and construction vehicles.

Home (2015): Tip manages to survive an alien invasion and other harrowing predicaments on her own (unless you count her cat, Pig), until she meets Oh, who isn't much help anyway. And she's a young teen, too.

Ellie in The Last of Us fits the trope. She's just 14 and has never known the world before the cordyceps infection. She starts off green, but gradually learns to survive by watching Joel, to the point that she takes care of him after he's badly injured. Joel fits in some ways, and definitely was an action survivor at one point, but 20 years of living in the ruins of society have changed him. Despite his age, he's tough and strong and is willing to kill and torture to survive and protect Ellie.

Tsukune Aono of Rosario + Vampire had a dangerous habit of Taking the Bullet for his (technically stronger) friends. He was surprisingly resilient even before he Took a Level in Badass via Emergency Transformation, though, and he's a decent strategist and the Only Sane Man, which makes him invaluable to the team.

Most everyone involved in action scenes in Fringe tend to fall in the badass category, but every now and then we have action survivors like Henry Higgins and Sam Weiss. William Bell somewhat falls in this category, but he can more than hold his own during a shootout.

Nathan Drake from the Uncharted series. Although he is a treasure hunter who is quite athletic and skilled with firearms, he looks and acts very much like an average Joe, panicking more than a few times throughout his adventure. His catchphrase is practically "Oh, Crap!!". He's even more so in the sequel: when things get way too big for him, he's initially happy to walk away, but when it comes down to the wire, he jumps into the action with both feet. Of course, even when he does so, he knows he's in well over his head, and he barely makes it out alive. Lucky doesn't even begin to describe it; Sully even bows out of the adventure early because he "doesn't have [Nate's] luck."
In Uncharted: Golden Abyss, Nate points out they're up against professional killers. Sully says, "Well, we're professional survivors! They got nothing on us."

Evie's brother Jonathan in The Mummy (1999). When we first meet him in 1926, he does things like hop into a sarcophagus and muse out loud that he'd rather like to join the dead. When Rick is faced with an awful situation, he says "I've had worse [odds]", and Jonathan adds "Yes, me too." His age, improbable aiming skills, and ability to think quickly on his feet even though he gets scared of firefights are all part of the reason he is able to survive. He's also the exact age to have fought in World War I, though this is never addressed in-story.

Living Dead Series:
Ben in Night of the Living Dead (1968) is driven by the zombie outbreak to the farmhouse and has to prepare the place and himself to survive. Barbara in the film's 1990 remake is given a similar treatment.
In the original Dawn of the Dead (1978), Steve (a TV station's helicopter pilot) and Fran (a floor director). Peter and Roger, being SWAT cops, don't really count.
Michael in Dawn of the Dead (2004). The guy becomes a de facto leader and moral center for a group of survivors that includes one cop and three armed security guards. His job before the Zombie Apocalypse? Selling TVs at Best Buy.

The Matrix: As Thomas Anderson, the protagonist basically stumbles through the events of the film, relying on luck and the help of others to get him out of situations. As Neo, however...
In the sequels, a number of the residents of Zion are this. Of particular note is the character Michael Karl Popper aka the Kid. He's not a combatant or even technically gifted like the Operators, but his bravery and determination help at key momentsnote Beyond his role in the Last Battle of Zion, his most significant accomplishment is waking himself up from the Matrix without using a red pill.

Into the Woods has The Baker and Cinderella, neither of whom are particularly adept at fighting off all the craziness that comes their way in the musical. Nonetheless, they both prove to be extremely resourceful, determined, and surprisingly courageous. And along with two other characters, they successfully manage to overcome and defeat the Big Bad in the end, after everyone else dies.

The tourist class in NetHack plays like this. In the beginning, a tourist starts with some gold, a lot of food, an expensive camera, a Hawaiian shirt, some scrolls of magic mapping...and not much else that would help them survive a dungeon full of angry monsters and deadly traps. What is more, their physical and mental stats tend to be mediocre at best, and to add insult to injury, shopkeepers will see the tourist as an easy mark and raise their prices. All that being said, if the tourist does manage to make it into the second half of the game, the combination of a jack-of-all-trades status and a powerful artifact will make the class one of the strongest for facing the final battles. Of course, that's a big if.

Fallout: Equestria: Littlepip was nothing but a sheltered Stable-dweller who worked as a repair technician for the omnipresent Pipbucks. She didn't even have a unique magic spell, just the basic telekinesis all unicorns have. Her biggest claim to fame was probably that she was really good at picking locks. When she first entered the Equestrian Wasteland she didn't even know what guns were. She learned fast. Within a few days, she had slaughtered a raider camp, rescued some prisoners, basically saved an entire town, became friends with some of the most dangerous people in the Wasteland, and killed an insane pseudo-goddess. Her achievements only became more impressive from there. In fact, her achievements were so impressive that the Steel Rangers couldn't believe she was really an innocent Stable-dweller and thought she was a highly-trained commando from some hidden Ministry of Awesome black site.

Ib: The main characters could all be called this; all they have throughout the game are their roses, minds and (in Mary's case) a palette knife to counter the malevolent monsters in the Gallery World.
Mary is actually an aversion, as she's later revealed to be the antagonist, but even she earns this title during the Together Forever ending. Just her methods are slightly... underhanded.

Amanda Ripley in Alien: Isolation is just an engineer who finds herself caught during a xenomorph infestation of the Sevastopol space station, while the androids go on a homicidal rampage and some survivors might target her out of distrust or panic. She can temporarily keep the first at bay with the flamethrower, and kill the droids and humans with conventional guns, but she is clearly unfit for the task. Her path must be stealthy as any attempt to be a gunslinger will ultimately lead to her death.

Naruto has Shikamaru. Unlike the "born great" Sasuke or Kakashi, he has no motivation and is an average ninja (compared to the ridiculously overpowered main characters and bad guys). However, he has a genius-level intellect, and when duty calls, he can use that intellect to defeat much stronger opponents. Significantly, he was one of the first characters in the series to defeat an Akatsuki member and the first to defeat one in a one-on-one fight. With a hole in the ground and some string. Not to mention, this opponent was apparently immortal.

The Night Unfurls: Grace from the original version is a mere Fanservice with a Smile who works in a Fantasy Tavern. She finds herself to be one of the many Innocent Bystanders that gets caught up in the invasion of Ansur by the Black Dogs. After being escorted by Sir Kyril along with her friends to safety, she decides to sneak her way through the chaos in the streets to find him, because she knows of a secret entrance that Kyril can use to enter the mercenary compound and reach Maia. At first, this is deconstructed: Grace, Chastity Dagger in hand, is obviously no match for a single mook, and as skilled as she is in sneaking around places, it can only take her so far, and she founds herself cornered by two mercs. On the other hand, she correctly figures out that Kyril, being a One-Man Army, would leave a trail of corpses behind, so she manages to end up in a place near him unharmed. Kyril, after dispatching said two mercs, would later coldly berate Grace for putting herself in deep, something that Grace herself lampshades, but thanks to her information, he is able to successfully enter the compound, find Michelle Pantielle, and rescue Maia, though not without some difficulty. All in all, Grace's contribution in the Liberation of Ansur Arc allows this trope to be reconstructed, resulting in a Decon-Recon Switch.

Eight of the twelve main characters of Eternal Darkness are, in the words of one reviewer, "one blonde college student, a peasant dancer, a puppy-dog messenger ... a [doctor] wearing a powdered wig, a monk with no weapons ... a fat architect, a nearsighted old guy, and an anemic photographer". All of them are very much capable of standing up to the brunt of the forces and powers the Eldritch Abominations bent on invading our realm, with the "anemic photographer" taking down a fearsome guardian second in power only to its Ancient and living a long life afterwards. Often, it takes effort from Pious himself to dispose of them, and even then, the mighty lich who could bind Mantorok fails to kill both Lindsey and Alex.

In The Last Hero, Rincewind announces that he does not wish to volunteer for a particular mission. When the Patrician points out no-one has asked him to, he says that he's volunteering even though he doesn't wish to because he's smart enough to know he's going to wind up on the mission regardless, so he figures he might as well get out in front of it. His personal philosophy is "It doesn't matter where you're running, it only matters where you're running from." Seems like a good mantra for any Action Survivor.

Dragon Ball:
Bulma from the original series. She is nowhere near capable of fighting alongside her empowered friends and family, but she's still usually going right alongside them for adventures and is generally able to survive everything with minimal or no injuries. Until Dragon Ball Z where Majin Buu turned her into chocolate and ate her, along with all the other main characters, sending her and the rest to heaven.
Hercule/Mr. Satan (with Bee the dog) holds the distinction of being the only human in Dragon Ball to never die once. All the Z-fighters die at least twice, and Buu killed everyone on Earth sans him, Goku, Vegeta, and Dende (who all died earlier- Goku to Piccolo and Cell, Vegeta to Frieza and Buu, and Dende to Frieza). All this despite being a Badass Normal in a world of superhumans, and putting himself in the line of fire to help defeat Cell and befriend Buu (which pays off big time when even Buu's Superpowered Evil Side is too subconsciously fond of him to hurt him). His luck finally runs out after Frieza destroys the Earth, but Whis turns back time shortly afterward, so it technically never happened.

The most extreme example of this trope would be from the SNES game Lester the Unlikely, which stars a nerd who Screams Like a Little Girl and can barely defend himself. He has to Save the Princess... if he can stop running away screaming from even minor enemies, like tortoises. Thankfully, he gets much more confident before the end of the game.

Gordon Freeman from Half-Life. Over the course of the games, however, he has turned into an Action Hero, by the time of Half-Life 2 he has become a leader of the Resistance. Breen even berates his troops for being unable to slow down, let alone stop, a theoretical physicist with a crowbar.
This trope is played up at various points in Freeman's Mind with regards to Gordon's inner thoughts.
Barney Calhoun in Blue Shift. He's just an average security guard but in spite of this he still manages to survive the Resonance Cascade, the ensuing chaos as aliens and HECU Marines kill anyone still alive, the destruction of Black Mesa, and the eventual fall of Earth in the Seven Hour War. He manages to live long enough to prove himself as a competent double agent and leader of the Resistance against the Combine in Half-Life 2.

Cross Ange: The Paramail pilots of Arzenal are this, as after being outed as Norma, they must fight the DRAGONs to not only survive, but make a living by procuring the money received from their job. Our main character, Ange, becomes one herself. Her introductory quote in the opening scene of Episode 1 explains her mentality as the pilot of the ancient Ragnamail, Villkiss...

Date A Live: Shido Itsuka is just a normal guy living in extraordinary times and only becomes badass because circumstances force him to. Though certain revelations later make him unfit for this trope, namely that he's a half-spirit hybrid reincarnation of the Spirit of Origin's dead lover, not to mention he's able to manifest the sealed spirit powers inside him..

One of the backgrounds in Alpha Protocol is "Recruit" — meaning Mike has essentially been recruited for the titular organization straight out of CIA training. Although becoming a CIA agent is no small feat, Mike is entirely unprepared for the challenges that he ends up facing (up to and including being betrayed and forced to go on the run.) It actually makes the most sense as a background, he was used due to the fact that he was expendable.

Several of the characters in Fear & Hunger: Termina are civilians with no combat experience: Marina and Samarie are occultists, Olivia is a botany student, Henryk is a chef, and Tanaka is a salaryman. While there are those that are experienced with combat or served in the war, they weren't ready to see Prehevil overtaken, nor trained for such a situation.

Almost everyone on The 100. Of the characters initially sent down to Earth, Bellamy's the only one with any combat or weapons training, and none of them have any first-hand experience with surviving in the wild. Anyone who survives past the first season only did so by adapting to dangerous situations very quickly.

Yukiteru Amano in Future Diary is this trope mixed with a healthy dose of Cowardly Lion. Before the Battle Royale for Godhood started, he was just a loner who stood on the sidelines, and in most situations, he prefers running away or leaving most of the killing to Yuno, but despite this, he's actually killed just as many diary owners as she before he Took a Level in Badass.

Supernatural: The show sees a few, including Sarah Blake, Kathleen, and initially Kevin Tran. Also somewhat Sam at the start of the first season, as he'd left his normal life behind and embraced the hunting world. In fact, several hunters fall into this, as many of them are normal people who started hunting demons and monsters after learning about their existence, often as a result of the tragic death of a loved one.

While the growth of Bulk and Skull of Power Rangers is mostly in terms of character, we do get occasional scenes of them fighting monsters when they absolutely have to, on a couple of occasions actually saving the Power Rangers, and standing up against Astronema to buy the Rangers more time, and leading the charge against the armies of evil.

Tales from the Borderlands:
Possibly Fiona and definitely Rhys. The game takes place on Pandora, a Crapsack Death World. Fiona is a Con Artist who at least was born and raised there. She Had to Be Sharp and can certainly handle herself in a fight, but compared to the Vault Hunters she's no One-Man Army. By the end of the game she becomes a proper Vault Hunter, even getting her own action skill. Rhys is an Office Drone who drops in on Pandora to do a deal to screw over his Bad Boss but ends up stuck there longer than planned when it goes seriously sour. Despite his cybernetic enhancements, he is woefully unprepared for the sheer insanity the planet throws on him. He also never thinks of using his superstrong robot arm to fight and only throws ineffective punches with his real arm. He's the one who wipes out the last remaining traces of Handsome Jack, painfully ripping out his own cybernetics to do so.
Rhys's accomplice and best buddy Vaughn is an accountant who is even less suited than Rhys to face the horrors of Pandora but ends up having the time of his life doing so. He eventually becomes a tribal leader with Manly Facial Hair.

Shibisu from Tower of God. Having the lowest fighting stats of all, he must rely purely on his smarts and running away abilities (though he can fight, it's just not that amazing when everyone else is terribly powerful). He mainly survived at first because he got teamed up with Hatz and Anaak, but then proved to be smarter than, well, The Smart Guy, Khun. He also does an embarrassingly good job of taking care of his companions.
Unlike other Action Survivors, he was however intentionally climbing the Tower.

Discworld:
Rincewind the "Wizzard". The man is a champion runner, great at improvising, and never willingly goes along with insane plans. Not that that stops it from happening. Of course, since he is literally The Lady's plaything, the extraordinary coincidences are no accident. At this point, due to some of his companions and their publications, so many people know about him and his penchant for surviving anything the universe can throw at him that they genuinely believe he is amazingly good at what he does.
In The Last Hero, Rincewind announces that he does not wish to volunteer for a particular mission. When the Patrician points out no-one has asked him to, he says that he's volunteering even though he doesn't wish to because he's smart enough to know he's going to wind up on the mission regardless, so he figures he might as well get out in front of it. His personal philosophy is "It doesn't matter where you're running, it only matters where you're running from." Seems like a good mantra for any Action Survivor.
Nobby might qualify as well. After all, he's "survived countless massacres by not being there".
Most members of the Night Watch (barring Carrot Detritus and Angua) have this sort of approach to most situations, choosing to get away from trouble until the odds are heavily in their favour. Sam Vimes in particular manages to beat a clan of werewolves by running like hell until he can figure out a way to get the conflict onto his terms (though as a bloody-minded cooper, he does tend to seek out trouble an awful lot).

Final Fantasy VII — Cloud Strife used to be this, Crisis Core and Before Crisis shows him as a plain old infantryman, only distinguishable by his motion sickness and his ability to make it through missions when all the other Mooks get killed off. When his hometown gets it, however, he cracks down and becomes a Badass Normal, doing what none of the Turks and SOLDIERs that safeguarded him until now were able to do: kill Sephiroth. After which Hojo jumped at the opportunity to make him an Empowered Badass Normal.

This also goes for most members of Torchwood, particularly Gwen and Tosh (Owen mainly Took a Level in Jerkass, but when you know his back story, he goes to extreme Jerkass Woobie territory, and he is pretty badass).

Oliver and Kaz from Mighty Med. They start the series as a pair of nobody comic book nerds, who accidentally discover Superheroes are real when they stumble upon a superhero hospital. It turns out due to years of reading, they both have memorized the best ways to treat the heroes of a variety of wounds, and hired to work there. As the series goes on, they manage to navigate the dangerous superhero world through wits, likewise, as they do they both get noticeable more competent and braver managing to stay alive and even fight back against genuine supervillains. The climaxes in the series finale when they both receive their own super powers.

Most player characters in Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay, or at least the ones who roll up non-combat or magic starting Careers. You can be a squire, a highwayman, an apprentice wizard... or a cook, a charcoal burner or a university student. It's not like Dungeons & Dragons where you start as a fairly powerful hero even at the 1st character level — in this game, you may not even start with a proper weapon. You'll probably die unless you're really lucky and clever... but at least it will probably be funny.

John Egbert of Homestuck is very much this, although less so for his friends who either start out pretty badass to begin with or have a Beware the Nice Ones streak. Some of the trolls (Tavros and Gamzee in particular) also spring to mind.
The rarely-seen "fedorafreak" is the comic's biggest example, being a completely ordinary if hat-obsessed man who might also be the last surviving human on Earth, drawing sustenance from his own urine. Then he died on what was implied to be a quest bed — which means he'll come back to life as god-tier.

The core characters of the Everworld series are fitting. They're four average teenagers from a suburb outside of late 1990s/early 2000s Chicago that get caught up in a web of events surrounding a witch. After being unceremoniously dumped into another universe — one where the heroes, gods, and monsters of mythology (not to mention aliens) exist — they get by through a combination of 20th-century knowledge, luck, improvisation, and a bit of help from the locals.

Resident Evil occasionally dips into this trope. The most obvious examples come from the Outbreak subseries, which star perfectly average citizens of Raccoon City. Claire Redfield during the events of 2 counts, since she's merely a college student with some general self-defense training from her brother Chris at that point. Leon from the same game counts to a lesser extent, being a rookie cop with zero experience on the job, though his formal police training presumably makes him more qualified than Claire. Discussed in Resident Evil: Degeneration, where Leon comments that she is a rescuer rather than a fighter.
Compared to Claire, Ethan Winters has no combat training; he's just an average Joe looking for his missing wife.
Resident Evil: Resistance, the pack-in Asymmetric Multiplayer Gaiden Game of Resident Evil 3 (Remake), casts average folks in the role of survivors, including a medically-retired boxer, an Umbrella intern, a hacktivist, a firefighter, a park ranger, and a mechanic. Jill Valentine was later included as a survivor, although she has prior dealings with Umbrella's undead legions and is a S.T.A.R.S. officer besides.

Red Dwarf — The crew of the Red Dwarf is this. At least, Dave, Rimmer, and The Cat. They all start out at pretty much the bottom rung of human (or hyper-evolved cat) existence. After everyone dies and they are left to fend for themselves in a hostile universe they slowly become more and more competent. While hardly Gordon Freeman or Ellen Ripley, they do manage to fight off a fair amount of hostile GELFs and other nasties. Dave and Rimmer end up noticeably less pathetic, and The Cat... well... at least he's aware that there are people other than himself.

Beyond Loch Ness: Zoe is the only major character aside from Brody (who's wounded early on and is the film's resident annoying douchebag) to never really fight any monsters (although she and Brody throws rocks at some to distract them from attacking someone in two different scenes). Still, she has several close calls with the monsters (sometimes exposing herself to danger deliberately to help her friends) and survives due to a combination of luck, being able to climb trees, and absorbing Josh's warnings to stay absolutely still so that the creatures won't notice her when she doesn't have cover.

David Wong from John Dies at the End. David is completely unremarkable in almost every way, which makes him an unlikely hero when monster comes knocking at the door of the universe. The eponymous John fits too, as, despite the fact that he's a little more competent than Dave, he's totally nuts. In fact, if anyone in the story can fit the archetype of the Action Hero, it's Molly... the Golden Retriever.

Vorkosigan Saga: Ivan Vorpatril, Miles Vorkosigan's cousin, becomes this in A Civil Campaign and Captain Vorpatril's Alliance. He's an ordinary mid-level officer very happy with his desk job at HQ, thank you very much, and he did not intend to get into any firefights ever. But when dropped into the middle of them, whether an attempted aggravated assault in a parking garage or a holdup at a... sort of archaeological dig, he thinks on his feet, holds his own, and could even be said to save the day—maintaining a thorough focus on getting everyone safely home, very much including himself. "I thought you said you were a desk jockey?" "Yes, but it's a Barrayaran desk."

Peter Pan: Jane Darling from Return To Neverland is this to an extent. She uses survival skills on a fantasy world like Neverland so it works against her and is Played for Laughs as a result. However, it's played straight whenever she interacts with the Neverland Pirates. She gets kidnapped and nearly fed to the Octopus in the first few minutes she's in Neverland, and in the Climactic Battle against the pirates, she doesn't actively fight them but outsmarts them, with some help from the Lost Boys. When Hook's in his bloodthirsty rage, all she could really do was run from him. Even when she gets cornered by him, she manages to escape in the nick of time because of Faith, Trust, and Pixie Dust; something that took her a long while to get.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! has Jack's Body Double, AKA Timothy Lawrence. Unlike other Vault Hunters who are either experienced mercenaries or freaks of nature, Timothy is just a desperate actor with a hologram projector who got wrangled into the mess on Elpis and in personal dialog is horrifically traumatized by both the chaos of everything he's dealing with as well as Jack's descent into villainy. Nonetheless, he proves to be just as capable of a Vault Hunter as his peers. In his appearance in 3, it turns out that he's been trapped in Jack's casino for the last seven years and has managed to outlive all other Jack Doubles, albeit not without coming out worse for wear.

In The Priory of the Orange Tree, Arteloth Beck's first point-of-view section is him being shipped off to as an "amabassador" to a Mordor-like nation and a discussion between him and his friend about how, as courtiers, they don't have any useful skills that will allow this to be anything but a Suicide Mission. Loth nevertheless tries to do a useful job, ends up on a secret mission to take an important artifact to a secret order, helps his friend The Ace get back to their queen, and ends up with pirates again on a real embassy that is no less dangerous. Through it all, Loth's only real skill is horseback riding and being able to flail at enemies with a sword or a stick long enough for a real fighter to finish the job, but he never backs down regardless.note Even his skill at hunting isn't useful because royal sport hunting is much different than actually hunting for survival.

In A Brother's Price, Jerin is thrown into an adventure he had no intention of being part of, and survives, using skills that up to then had just been hobbies, to outwit the villains. More precisely, he is kidnapped, and has to escape, for which his lock-picking skills (yes, his family does that as a hobby, and to honour family tradition) come in handy.

Tatsuo Shinada of Yakuza 5 is a former professional baseball player turned struggling masseuse parlor reviewer who never had any dealings with the criminal underworld of the setting until the start of his story, where he's tasked with investigating the events that led to him being barred from his beloved sport. While he's still a capable fighter with an exceptional physique, his fighting style is easily the clumsiest and most awkward to use of the player characters and he's often completely out of his depth with all the danger he faces.

Rickert from Berserk. One of the younger and more naive members of the Band of the Hawk he survived 3 Apostles by sheer dumb luck and was rescued by the Skull Knight. While a decent swordsman in his own right he can't hold a candle to Guts and is woefully under-prepared to face the Apostles. When faced with the nightmarish monsters that have started appearing after reality gets bent he relies on his ingenuity and inventions to create weapons that can be used by the Everyman like him, including a rapid-firing crossbow and fixing up a hose that he later jury rigs into a flame-thrower. He's the only person ever to slap Reincarnated Griffith and get away with it.

The Vampire Diaries:
Elena is pretty competent while trying to defend herself. For example, when a strange vampire is trying to kill her, she stabs him with pencils — repeatedly — and then breaks a mop over her knee to try to stake him, and when a werewolf attacks her, she instantly sticks a knife into his gut. She's also adept at using her surroundings while trying to run away if pursued by a supernatural. This is magnified in Season 4 after she transitions. She goes so far as to kill Connor to protect her brother.
Matt is one of the few characters who is human (after Elena becomes a vampire) and has no superhuman abilities.

Borderlands:
Tales from the Borderlands:
Possibly Fiona and definitely Rhys. The game takes place on Pandora, a Crapsack Death World. Fiona is a Con Artist who at least was born and raised there. She Had to Be Sharp and can certainly handle herself in a fight, but compared to the Vault Hunters she's no One-Man Army. By the end of the game she becomes a proper Vault Hunter, even getting her own action skill. Rhys is an Office Drone who drops in on Pandora to do a deal to screw over his Bad Boss but ends up stuck there longer than planned when it goes seriously sour. Despite his cybernetic enhancements, he is woefully unprepared for the sheer insanity the planet throws on him. He also never thinks of using his superstrong robot arm to fight and only throws ineffective punches with his real arm. He's the one who wipes out the last remaining traces of Handsome Jack, painfully ripping out his own cybernetics to do so.
Rhys's accomplice and best buddy Vaughn is an accountant who is even less suited than Rhys to face the horrors of Pandora but ends up having the time of his life doing so. He eventually becomes a tribal leader with Manly Facial Hair.
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel! has Jack's Body Double, AKA Timothy Lawrence. Unlike other Vault Hunters who are either experienced mercenaries or freaks of nature, Timothy is just a desperate actor with a hologram projector who got wrangled into the mess on Elpis and in personal dialog is horrifically traumatized by both the chaos of everything he's dealing with as well as Jack's descent into villainy. Nonetheless, he proves to be just as capable of a Vault Hunter as his peers. In his appearance in 3, it turns out that he's been trapped in Jack's casino for the last seven years and has managed to outlive all other Jack Doubles, albeit not without coming out worse for wear.
Borderlands 3: Lor started as the owner of a small coffee shop, and his biggest claim to fame was stabbing a guy in the throat when he tried to rob her before she had her coffee. Rhys hired Lor as his secretary, and then during the war with Maliwan Lor ended up in charge of all Atlas forces under Rhys by virtue of being the most badass person with any authority surviving.

Jake Sisko of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine. Unlike most Star Trek main characters he has neither military training nor any cool alien powers. And to be fair he's only a tween when the show starts. In the Mirror Universe, he helplessly watches his mother get killed a second time. Early in his career as an Intrepid Reporter, he flees from a battle he's covering. Still, little by little he gets braver and more savvy, and while he never becomes a commanding man of action he eventually can keep his head when trouble starts.

Wedge Antilles, at least in his early-set appearances.

In most Doom titles, the protagonist is some combination of One-Man Army powered by Unstoppable Rage who jumps in feet-first at The Legions of Hell (with those feet probably crushing a demon's head into Ludicrous Gibs). However in Doom³ the protagonist is instead recast as an able-but-out-of-their-depth military footsoldier trapped on Mars as everything literally goes to Hell. The reboot series however shows that the original Doomguy eventually managed to go from a nameless marine with guns and anger management issues to an entity feared by all demon-kind.

In Mass Effect, players can customize Commander Shepard's military background. While the other two backgrounds make Shepard famous for something badass, Sole Survivor Shepard qualifies as one of these. They are famous for being the sole survivor when a group of Thresher Maws attacked their squad. They didn't even kill the creatures in response, they merely survived. As the game shows, surviving one of these is no joke.

Practically any civilian in the Fallout series, just by virtue of being alive in a post-apocalyptic wasteland with Everything Trying to Kill You.
Most of the Player Characters are this with two vault dwellers in the first and third games, a tribal kid in the second, and a law graduate with zero combat experience who nevertheless handles herself just as well as her war veteran husband in the fourth. Fallout: New Vegas is the only one where a Player Character has any semblance of Wasteland survival and that is what has kept them alive for all the time up to the game.

Clock Tower: The First Fear, wherein 14-year-old Jennifer Simpson is brought to the Barrows Mansion with her friends Ann, Lotte, and Laura on the pretense of a new family. When her friends and Ms Mary disappear, all she's got are her wits and (occasionally) a wooden plank to survive the ensuing horror. Her friends (particularly Lotte) get the action part at times, but not the survivor.

Wit in Preservation. She is a city girl anaesthetist who accompanies her husband and brother-in-law on a hunting trip in the hope of reviving her flagging relationship with her husband. She doesn't even like hunting and finds herself unable to shoot a deer. However, when the group finds itself being stalked by a trio of masked hunters, and the men are taken down, she finds herself fighting a desperate battle against her stalkers.

How I Unleashed World War II has this Played for Laughs — Franek survives through few different campaigns of World War II by nothing else than blind luck and his own gull. And if not for accidentally decking an English captain, he would do so without harming a single person. His book counterpart was even more extreme case, being a bookworm art historian.

C-3PO in Droids: The Adventures of R2-D2 and C-3PO blatantly dislikes danger, but he often resorts to duplicity to get things done and always emerges the better for it, contrasting somewhat with the more passive and bumbling character in the films. R2-D2, however, is much more of a dynamic Inspector Gadget-type.

Early in A History of Violence, when Indiana restaurant owner Tom Stall manages to kill a pair of murderous robbers who were intent on robbing his restaurant and killing his staff and clientele, it appears that he's this. However, shortly afterward Philadelphia mobster Carl Foggerty comes to town and claims that Tom is actually Joey Cusack, a former enforcer for the Irish mob who has been hiding from the mob for years under an assumed identity. The film then questions whether anyone could be as effectively and lethally violent as Tom was in foiling the robbers without having spent a lot of time learning and practicing how to do so.

Many Traveller characters follow "average joe" careers. Alongside space marines, former space navy personnel, and scouts are entertainers, merchants, scholars, and especially characters created in the citizen career. But when compared to other RPGs even the space marines are usually merely competent fighters - they are not Made of Iron or a One-Man Army.

Starr, the main character of The Hate U Give, is an example that's played for tragedy. She's a very ordinary sixteen-year-old who's forced to be strong because of her unusual circumstances — namely, being the sole witness to a cop murdering her friend, and then being caught in the middle of the media coverage, protest, and political uproar that follows. A lot of the narrative focuses on how the experience has left Starr with awful PTSD, and how she'll never be quite the same because of this.

In Demon's Souls, Dark Souls, and many of the games they inspired, the Player Character is some variant of lowly faceless Mook. Sure, you might be able to start as a knight, but the game will explicitly say you aren't a very good one and are of low rank and status. Nevertheless, you still go on to accomplish great feats and slay powerful foes which can even include gods, all by using your Resurrective Immortality and sheer determination to essentially slam your face into brick wall after brick wall over and over again until they have all crumbled before you.

Moloch von Zinzer from Girl Genius. A former soldier who became a mechanic because "it makes you more valuable". Got away alive and with equipment to sell once Klaus crushed his boss. Survived when their "gunboat" was blown up by Bang. "Inherited" a brain-freezing device that killed his brother only to accidentally break it. Eventually was Put on a Bus to Hell... and when the protagonist walked into the biggest Death Trap of Europe, she found him there alive and well, and only slightly crankier than before.

Suzu and Shoukei from The Twelve Kingdoms. The first is a Shrinking Violet who spends 100 years as the favorite Chew Toy of a Rich Bitch, then gains her freedom, but later simply doesn't know what to actually do with it and thus switches allegiances several times until she acknowledges that she has to take a side and stick to it. The second goes from a Royal Brat with zero knowledge of the outside world, and then a Princess in Rags without any real will to change her attitude, to a Plucky Girl who helps La Résistance as much as she can and realises that she should have wised up a long time ago.

The Walking Dead (2010) has Beth Greene. Almost everyone in the show Took a Level in Badass and evolved from this except Beth. For most of the show, she only has basic survival skills in terms of killing walkers and minimal gun training — most of the time, other characters are busy assisting her or outright protecting her. She even gives an Audience Monologue about how Daryl sees her as nothing but another dead girl because she's not as strong as the other, more badass women. Season 5 shows that despite her limited skills, she's capable of defending herself and even killing hostiles in her way using nothing but improvised weapons and fast thinking.

When All Might notices the boy's bravery and heroic spirit, he takes the boy under his wing and passes his Quirk upon him, with Izuku slowly but surely learning and training hard to control it.

Sweet Home (2017) has the protagonist Hyun and several other survivors being pitted against Nigh-Invulnerable monsters with a good Healing Factor, all while lacking proper weapons. As a result, running is usually the best hope for survival.

Alan Wake's title character is a crime fiction author who spends most of the game dressed in a tweed jacket, possesses relatively unimpressive athletic abilities, and is better suited to running from his enemies than standing and fighting. That said, he manages to pull through thanks to his wits and his superior survival instincts.

Here we have a person whose life has been almost 100% CRAP for years, completely helpless as Sharon Apple has staged everything to give Isamu the thrill of death... and suddenly something snaps inside of her. The next scenes have her escaping from her prison and using her smarts and quick thinking to stop Sharon.

Wataru Takagi from Case Closed is a mix of dorky Nice Guy next door and archetypical Hot-Blooded cop, and as such he's managed to survive several times to life-threatening situation. For example, when Takagi is in an horrible Death Trap, he manages to keep his wits with him and does his best to keep himself alive until his co-workers and friends can rescue him.

They manage to distract the raptors that came to hunt them in the kitchen, with Tim managing to lock one in the freezer and Lex luring several away from eating her brother.

Tyrion Lannister of A Song of Ice and Fire is a dwarf, but is more than capable of surviving the occasional scuffle by his own wit and guile, and by holding some passable fighting skills in his own right. Like many, many tropes in the series, this gets deconstructed, as he's disfigured in one battle, and nobody ever believes his heroics because they do not believe that someone with his handicap can actually put up a fight.

Young Jim Cornette, whose skill was running away from the wrestlers he mouthed off to in the event The Midnight Express wasn't around to protect him. He could throw fireballs but even that wasn't enough when he was put in a steel cage with Ronnie Garvin.

A fair number of the party members in Yakuza: Like a Dragon come from even more mundane backgrounds. Yu Nanba is a former nurse turned hobo, Saeko is a hostess and Eri is a questionably competent businesswoman. The latter two stands out since the series didn't have a lot of ass-kicking women up to that point, but they nonetheless get embroiled in a grand criminal conspiracy that leads them to take on crime syndicates, the Governor of Tokyo and even survive a fight against Kazuma Kiryu himself alongside absurdities such as tigers, bears and construction vehicles.

Subverted in Code Geass. Ordinary guy Lelouch gets mixed up in an insurgent attack and reactionary annihilation of the area when suddenly he is randomly handed his "geass". Then he reveals that he is NOT an ordinary guy and proceeds to not just survive the conflict but fight, commanding the insurgents like his own personal army (like they later become). We also later find out that his gaining his "geass" was anything but random.

The Daily Show with Trevor Noah deconstructed the trope in reference to the spate of mass shooting and debate over concealed weapons laws. Jordan Klepper gets an open carry permit in order to test the NRA's assertion that "The only thing that stops a bad guy with a gun is a good guy with a gun." He finds that he has to spend only 8 hours training to qualify for the permit, and in a training scenario, Jordan accidentally "shoots" a teenaged bystander, before being "shot" by both the active shooters and the policemen arriving at the scene. He decides that it's just simpler to stop the "bad guy" from getting guns in the first place, instead of hoping that a "good guy" intervenes.

Final Fantasy:
Final Fantasy VII — Cloud Strife used to be this, Crisis Core and Before Crisis shows him as a plain old infantryman, only distinguishable by his motion sickness and his ability to make it through missions when all the other Mooks get killed off. When his hometown gets it, however, he cracks down and becomes a Badass Normal, doing what none of the Turks and SOLDIERs that safeguarded him until now were able to do: kill Sephiroth. After which Hojo jumped at the opportunity to make him an Empowered Badass Normal.
Final Fantasy X: Tidus prior to coming to Spira never wielded a sword in his life, but he picks up on it very quickly and is able to cultivate a highly effective fighting style based on the high speed he has from his career of as a professional Blitzball player. It's inferred that he might have received training from his father beforehand since it was a 'gift from Jecht.'
Final Fantasy XIII: Has both Sazh and Hope. The former was a civilian pilot whose weapons were only given to him as a survival tool but his behavior in the early cutscenes implies that this is the first time he's actually put it to use in extended danger and survival situations. The latter... is 14 and his life before this Neverending Terror was fairly upper-class. The first half of his character arc is the transformation from helpless to being able to hold his own.

Sam and Mike can be responsible for the deaths of almost every Wendigo by the end of the game. Chris manages to hold off the Wendigo who killed the Stranger long enough to return to safety with an injured ankle. Emily escapes from the mines on her own while being chased by something that wants to kill her.

Game of Thrones:
Gilly's penchant for surviving calamity despite her non-action status is lampshaded by Dolorous Edd to comfort Sam after the attack on Mole's Town.
Though Arya received a few months of sword training and is good with a bow, she is still a child who is petite and not particularly strong. She becomes more of a fighter in Seasons 3 and Season 4. She's also notable for being one of the only non-Lannister people to get away with defying Joffrey without getting herself killed or seriously injured for it. (Unfortunately, Mycah takes Arya's place). Even Tyrion suffers from slapping Joffrey around in the long run.
Tyrion is not really trained for combat but nonetheless participated in a number of battles.

Killing the User-Believer champion and an actual User would demoralize any who opposed). From there, it was one crazy Indy Ploy to the next because he didn't know what he was doing with his User abilities.

The four characters of Left 4 Dead 2. Coach (an overweight high school football coach), Ellis (a mechanic), Rochelle (a young journalist), and Nick (a con man). Well, Nick isn't that normal, but he's no Action Hero.

Superheroes Anonymous: Gail Godwin has been forced into this position as of the beginning of the first book. Nicknamed "Hostage Girl" by the press, she's the first target for any supervillain looking to get into the news and has had to nurture a number of skills to minimize collateral damage and to stay alive while being kidnapped by supervillains. Her ex-boyfriend Jeremy gets put in a similar spot by the heroes when they decide that his resemblance to the superhero Blaze makes him the perfect stalking horse.

In The Last Voyage of the Demeter, both Anna and Clemens become this by the end. Anna in particular shows clear prior knowledge of how to use a gun (presumably due to being from a rural village with hostile wildlife), but it's not until she's back to her full strength that she has the will to fight.

John Connor lives and breathes this trope throughout Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. As the future savior of humankind, John is too important to be sent out on missions or otherwise put in the line of fire. Instead, Terminators actively seek him out, with his allies constantly fighting to keep him safe. The few times he has had to go up against a Terminator alone, he demonstrates remarkable cunning, ingenuity, insight, and downright sheer badassery.

She ditches her high heels and uses her remote key to set off a car alarm to distract the monster, allowing her to flee to an elevator. Once the werewolf tries to get into the elevator, she immediately goes for the emergency phone, then tries to climb to the opening in the elevator roof.

Harrison Blackwood and Suzanne McCullough in War of the Worlds (1988). Blackwood is a kooky scientist who refuses to wield a gun through most of the series and carries a tuning fork to keep himself calm and collected. Many of the plots are motivated by him either getting trapped somewhere or staying one step ahead of the Morthren aliens (via the use of strange technology). Suzanne (as a fellow researcher and mother) also proves to be a capable fighter in several episodes and goes along with the rest of the team in several dangerous missions.

The RWBY Loops turns Kali Belladonna into this during the Tale of Two Sisters. All the other featured non-loopers at least have some huntsmen and huntress training, making them Badass Normal by looper standards. Kali, however, is explicitly stated to be a civilian, only joining in the fight because she couldn't stand not knowing what happened to the rest of her family. By the end of the whole thing, she's destroyed a factory, helped kill a vampire, befriended a bandit queen, and become an icon for her people — all within what's implied to be a few hours.

This Bites!: Cross, the self-insert protagonist is this, full stop. In comparison to his crewmates, he isn't really a fighter. All of the battles he fights that aren't against Mooks generally devolve into running from his enemy until he finds a way to either lose them or knock them out safely. Even then, he gets pretty injured, as attested by his many scars. The true reason why he qualifies for this is the fact that he doesn't really need to put himself in danger–as attested by Smoker–but he does so anyway for the sake of his friends and beliefs. Of course, he manages to transcend this as time goes by.

Doctor Who:
Compared to the other Doctors, the Fifth Doctor can be seen as this, as he was more pacifistic than many of his other incarnations.
A fair number of the Doctor's many companions can be characterised as Action Survivors, normal folk catapulted into the Doctor's dangerous life, though it should be noted that most are a cut above the ordinary anyway, otherwise they wouldn't have been invited.
It causes most companions who stick around for long enough to take a level in badass. Captain Jack is an immortal Action Hero, like a James Bond for the 51st century, Martha and Mickey are freelance alien hunters and Rose and Jackie were last seen wielding a BFG each, Amy became the head of Area 52 in another timeline, Rory became a Memetic Badass, Zoe Heriot matured into an Action Girl and Sarah Jane led her own team. And Ace, well...she basically invented the Moment of Awesome by hitting a Dalek with a baseball bat.note  This is Not Hyperbole, by the way.
This also goes for most members of Torchwood, particularly Gwen and Tosh (Owen mainly Took a Level in Jerkass, but when you know his back story, he goes to extreme Jerkass Woobie territory, and he is pretty badass). Both are at first shellshocked at the sight of gunfire. Then they... learn to cope with it.
A Jacobite first encountered after the Battle of Culloden, Second Doctor companion Jamie McCrimmon was already this.
"Blink": Sally Sparrow and Larry Nightingale are both garden-variety muggles who manage to deal with the Weeping Angels by staying one step ahead of them.
"Resolution": Ultimately, this is the role played by archaeologist Lin after she's taken for a Meat Puppet by the villain, managing to free herself from its control by taking advantage of a moment of weakness.

The Secret Files series has this in both of its protagonists. Neither Nina nor Max are action heroes, and spend most of the game putting random tools together and trying to outwit the bad guys.

Isaac Clarke from Dead Space, who is just a simple engineer tasked with what he thinks is little more than a repair job. Most of his weapons, in fact, are mining tools. Isaac could actually be argued as a deconstruction of one, as it's heavily implied throughout the first game, then said flat-out by Kendra near the end, that he's gone completely insane due to the incident.
He isn't much tougher by Dead Space 2, though justified in that he was mostly in stasis for the three years in between. The game mostly takes the concept further and details the kind of Sanity Slippage that would understandably occur to people in Isaac's situation.
Isaac also might not qualify in that he is specifically an Engineer trained to work in hostile, potentially fatal situations alone. He's had training on how to survive most things, and judging from the clearance to access some military weapons as well, probably general firearm training as well.
From the prequel game Dead Space: Extraction, there's Doctor Karen Howell. Just a botanist, but she is hardcore.

The Arts of Dark and Light has plenty of regular warriors, but also some who fit this type better:
Marcus. He's a theology student originally, and even after joining the military, he's more of a staff officer than a Frontline General. He finds fighting for his life most disagreeable when he is forced to do it — though he also makes a creditable showing at it, at least so far.
Fjotra. She isn't a stereotypical fantasy warrior girl, but more of a "realistic" young Dark Ages noblewoman. Even so, she has some experience of violence and makes it through a number of dangerous situations through wits and instinct.

Sam Flynn in TRON: Legacy. He's not wicked agile like Rinzler. He's not nearly invincible like Clu. He's not a demiurge like his father.
His dad started as this in the first film. He just happened to be very good at video games and Sark was under direct orders to keep Kevin in the games until he died playing (much for the same reason Tron himself wasn't killed; Master Control wanted the User-Believers broken. Killing the User-Believer champion and an actual User would demoralize any who opposed). From there, it was one crazy Indy Ploy to the next because he didn't know what he was doing with his User abilities.

She's a bookworm who's not action type as much as the Chans, but she turns out to be surprisingly resourceful and able to assist her extended family, and she gets better with action over time.

Rare female example and highly unusual for a fighting game, but Pyrrha from Soul Calibur 5. Pyrrha's awkward stance, clumsy throws, strong aversion to killing and even wounding, and timid disposition indicate that she has little in the way of skill or experience. She clearly gets through her battles through fighting with the desperation of a cornered rat than any skill, strength, or courage. Although anyone who has seen Sophitia's main throw knows that this runs in the family.

Katniss in The Hunger Games, to an extent. Most of the plot comes together because of her spontaneous decisions, as well as outside characters forcing her into situations. She even mentions at the end of the first book that she'd rather just live a normal life.

Decumus Scotti, the protagonist of A Dance in Fire and The Argonian Account. He's just a clerk from the Imperial City who finds himself stuck in Valenwood during a war. Over the course of several weeks, he's nearly eaten by a giant tick, narrowly avoids being burned alive by Khajiit several times, is almost eaten by The Wild Hunt and is pestered by a poet. He comes out of the whole ordeal in surprisingly good shape.

Jack Burton from Big Trouble in Little China. Though he's the main protagonist, he's essentially a bumbling sidekick to the real heroes: both he and the viewers are left to puzzle over the details of the long-running conflict the rest of the heroes had already been fighting with the villain.

In the sequels, a number of the residents of Zion are this. Of particular note is the character Michael Karl Popper aka the Kid. He's not a combatant or even technically gifted like the Operators, but his bravery and determination help at key momentsnote Beyond his role in the Last Battle of Zion, his most significant accomplishment is waking himself up from the Matrix without using a red pill.

Dagger, from Wander. At the start of the novel, he's narrowly managed to escape a group of smilers, and been separated from the rest of his group when escape is seen as impossible for most people. By the end of the book, he's a full-fledged badass with numerous kills under his belt, and one of only two people known to have escaped after being held prisoner by the smilers twice.

Mark Watney of The Martian, to some extent. Sure, getting through NASA's Astronaut Candidate Programme makes him far from ordinary, but he's got no particularly exceptional survival skills by the standards of the agency he works for and is the junior member of the Ares 3 team by some margin. And yet he manages to survive alone on Mars for over a year with nothing but his Agricultural Science doctorate, lots of ingenious jury-rigging, and his apparently limitless reserves of sheer bloody-minded willpower and snark.

Weaveworld: protagonist Cal Mooney is an ordinary guy setting into an ordinary adult life until he learns that magic is real and storybook adventures are things he could actually go on. But he doesn't so much have adventures as adventures have him. He gets shot, narrowly avoids fatal constriction twice, and has close calls with both burning alive and hypothermia, just to name a few. His commitment to The Call keeps him in the game and only his friends and being in decent shape keep him alive.

Superwomen of Eva: Legacies: True Blue: Hikari definitely becomes an example of this trope early on after she ventures outside the shelter along with Toji and Kensuke in search of Toji's sister. As a result, she ends up getting too close for comfort to both the battle with the Angel and a fight between Supergirl and a supervillain, then nearly having to travel through the city sewers to get to safety.

Legatum: A majority of the heroes or side characters are just ordinary people with little or no skills in using weapons.
None of the protagonists from Smirvlak's Stone are fighters, and they spend most of their time relying on guerilla tactics or simply running away from danger as opposed to facing it. Even Stilyk, who is the most physically fit and the only one with a weapon, confesses that the only reason why he's not dead yet is that he's a Combat Pragmatist.
Help Not Wanted has the four main goblins, none of whom are skilled in using weapons. They usually rely on creating makeshift weapons on the fly or simply running and hiding from danger instead of confronting it.

Experience makes him more of an Action Hero eventually, and a Reasonable Authority Figure, but he's the designated survivor in his 'verse, the anti-Red Shirt who is the only one not blessed with the Force, unusual skills, or obvious Plot Armor to live through everything.

Lizzie from the Dead Winter is a pretty nice example of this. In comparison to the rest of her companions (A nurse whom also was a former competitive riflewoman, a badass gunslingin' hitman toting lots of firepower and a fat crafty plumber). She's a pretty average civilian with the only things noteworthy about her is that she was a waitress, a former soccer player in her school days and an English major. The first two help give her some pretty decent skill that prepare her body for the Zombie Apocalypse. She's armed with a mop, running on Codein and Heroic Willpower.

Final Fantasy XIII: Has both Sazh and Hope. The former was a civilian pilot whose weapons were only given to him as a survival tool but his behavior in the early cutscenes implies that this is the first time he's actually put it to use in extended danger and survival situations. The latter... is 14 and his life before this Neverending Terror was fairly upper-class. The first half of his character arc is the transformation from helpless to being able to hold his own.

To say that Colin of Changed is this would actually be putting it mildly. He's been a Human Popsicle for so long that he has amnesia, in a building with latex creatures that are trying to either absorb him or transform him by touch, while being unbelievably skinny from malnourishment, he only has a surprisingly quick walking pace, ability to improvise using the surrounding environment, and help from one of the only non-hostile latex beasts in the building he's woken up in. Yet he survives it all.

In the 2013 Tomb Raider reboot, Lara Croft begins as a terrified twenty-something archaeology grad just trying to survive after being shipwrecked. She already has some wilderness survival training in her background, but is so green she apologizes to a deer she has to kill for food and has absolutely no combat experience or training. Her first human kill is a horribly traumatizing experience that leaves her in tears, and it's only because the world she finds herself in is kill-or-die that she's able to do it again. By the end of the game, she's battered, bloody, torn up and probably suffering PTSD, but she just keeps on going.

Most professions in Cataclysm are regular jobs like fast food cook, home mechanic, pizza delivery boy, or elementary school student, who are thrown into a simultaneous Zombie Apocalypse, giant bug infestation, mushroom alien invasion, with a few Eldritch Abominations and riot-control robots gone haywire thrown in for good measure. You can also spend trait points to start as a better-suited job such as military recruit, various kinds of cyborgs, or black belt.

In Sherlock Holmes, Watson tries to give this trope a go when Holmes is presumed dead. He doesn't get very far, though.

Color Out of Space (2020): Ward escapes several attacks from the Color operating through its various proxies and ultimately survives, despite not having any particular kind of edge or advantage that would help. However, he's pretty traumatized by the utter horror of the Color he witnessed, so he isn't entirely unscathed.

Grimm's Fairy Tale Classics:
The Princess from "The Iron Stove" mixes this with some sprinkles of Action Girlfriend, going through lots of risk to save her Prince from the Witch despite not being an Action Girl.
Lisbeth from "The Old Woman in the Woods" is the Sole Survivor of the royal caravan she was traveling with and must fend off the attacks of the Wicked Witch to save her own skin, with help of a talking owl...

The main protagonists of the Dead Rising games are all this to some extent. Frank West is a slightly chubby photojournalist looking for the scoop of a lifetime. Chuck Greene is a motocross biker trying to find a way to care for his infected daughter and Nick Ramos is a humble mechanic simply looking to get out of his heavily infested city. All of them go from Unlucky Everyman to expert zombie slaughterers by the end of their games.

The Lord of the Rings. Frodo and Sam repeatedly rely on their wits and relentlessly good luck to get them to Mordor intact, such as in Balin's Tomb and escaping Osgiliath, and Frodo repeatedly states how he wishes he had never gotten the Ring in the first place. In the behind-the-scenes features of The Fellowship of the Ring, Sean Astin talks about how much effort he put into learning swordsmanship for the films' fight scenes. In the first of these filmed — the Nazgûl attack on Weathertop — he was specifically asked after a few takes to tone it down, so as not to make Sam appear to be too competent.

He isn't much tougher by Dead Space 2, though justified in that he was mostly in stasis for the three years in between. The game mostly takes the concept further and details the kind of Sanity Slippage that would understandably occur to people in Isaac's situation.

Re:CREATORS: Sota Mizushino has no superpowers like the fictional characters that have come to the real world and he is not even a skilled artist like his fellow Creators, which means all he can do is run away from fights and hope his friends can solve the crisis at hand.

Mighty Max: Max, AKA "The Mighty One," chosen by destiny to destroy the evil Skullmaster, fits the trope to a T. Constantly thrust into the most unusual circumstances he repeatedly saves the world with only his wits and a magic cap.

YuYu Hakusho:
Keiko Yukimura has no supernatural powers to defend herself from demonic and powerful forces. She gets by by being plucky and resourceful, shown especially when she and Botan are up against zombies controlled by insects.
Similarly, Yaminade no Itsuki. He does have supernatural powers, but they're not very useful in battle. However, he gets by by being a talented Manipulative Bastard...

None of the protagonists from Smirvlak's Stone are fighters, and they spend most of their time relying on guerilla tactics or simply running away from danger as opposed to facing it. Even Stilyk, who is the most physically fit and the only one with a weapon, confesses that the only reason why he's not dead yet is that he's a Combat Pragmatist.

Innerspace — Mild-mannered hypochondriac Jack Putter (Martin Short) finds himself mixed up in a war between the evil corporation and the US government. Mind you, the original reason he took matters into his own hands was the prospect of having a tiny little corpse rotting inside of his body. At the end of the movie, though, when he realizes that a life of adventure is more fun than what he originally had, he grabs onto it with both hands.

Kaname from Full Metal Panic! is a normal high school student who just happens to get involved in an elite military unit. Subverted (Double Subverted?) in that she isn't an ordinary person, but her particular abilities aren't likely to help her in a situation requiring near-superhuman strength and agility, though she is fairly athletic for a girl her age.

The Hobbit: Bilbo Baggins, the title protagonist is pushed out of his front door on an adventure he doesn't want to go on, playing a role he has no idea how to play (he's recruited as a "burglar"). He is rather inept at first, but finding The One Ring helps him a great deal and in Mirkwood especially he comes up with some clever rescues for the Dwarves. He also notably spends the entire climactic battle unconscious, invisible because of the Ring, and hit in the head by a stray rock. Other hobbits in related works have similar roles.

Agni's Philosophy: While Agni is capable of utilizing electrical attacks, she only does so once in the initial strike on the compound and spends the rest of the demo evading her pursuers and attackers, briefly healing her wounds, and finishing the summoning for the dragon.

The title character in Eden Green has no survival training, other than her self-taught, limited shotgun knowledge, and a painful needle symbiote she barely understands. When facing down alien needle monsters, she has to rely on ingenuity and luck. Lucas in the sequel New Night is a former cop with martial arts training, but other characters are forced to ad-lib in dangerous situations.
