There is the hero that drifts from place to place helping people as he walks the earth. Then there are these heroes: ones that stay in the same place, but are so down on their luck that they live in squalor or, worse, have no place to live at all. They squat for the night in an abandoned building and keep warm with scrap wood burning in a Trashcan Bonfire, or sleep in an old car. Perhaps their dedication to doing heroic deeds provides them with little time for making money or starting a home or family. Or perhaps they've had a string of bad luck, sometimes due to a decidedly non-heroic addiction. In any case, even though they may save lives, normal people will still dislike them. Compare Magical Homeless Person. |

On Ranma ½, Ry�ga may as well be one of these. Yes, he has a real house, but he's almost never there. In fact, the entire family is equally prone to being lost, so the house really only exists as a wayside stop. Most days he simply camps out or sleeps in Akane's bed as her pet pig. | |

Sakuya from Dancougar Nova was homeless and unemployed before being recruited to pilot the titular Super Robot, and stays that way for a few episodes. Pointing out that he is, or was homeless is also something of a catchphrase for him. Gets a little ridiculous after a while. | |

Merantau is named for a practice among the Minangkabou people of West Sumatra, where young men will leave their hometown to pursue their fortune further afield since inheritance in that culture is largely matriarchal. The main character of the movie, Yuda (Iko Uwais), is on such a journey in Jakarta, where he sleeps at an empty construction site, and hoping to become a martial arts instructor, but he gets forced into vigilantism to bring down a human trafficking ring. | |

Wizard, the titular protagonist of Wizard of the Pigeons, is a homeless sorcerer in Seattle who lives in an abandoned building and scavenges for food.

Fuka Reventon of ViVid Strike!. Unlike previous, fairly well-off protagonists of the Lyrical Nanoha franchise, she's a poor orphan who had not been adopted and thus has to work odd jobs just to have a place to live in. Unfortunately, she has difficulty keeping any job for long due to all the trouble she causes, and could no longer stay at her orphanage due to the same problem. Nove was able to convince her to work at her gym when she mentions that she'd have free food and lodging. | |

My Name Is Earl.: Technically, Earl Hickey, since he lives in a motel after his wife divorced him and took their trailer home. (This is lampshaded when he applies for a credit card.) Briefly, Earl gets an apartment, but loses the apartment after going to prison for a crime his ex-wife committed and winds up back at the motel after he gets out. Earl and Randy had been briefly homeless before Earl's Accidental Marriage to Joy because their father got fed up with them and kicked them out of the house. Joy was homeless for a while just before she tricked Earl into marrying her. She had been kicked out of the house by her parents for becoming pregnant out of wedlock when her pregnancy began to show. |

Dragon Age: Origins: Whatever your chosen background is, your character is homeless by the time they're recruited by the Grey Wardens. The Dwarf Noble was exiled (really a form of execution) after falling afoul of their younger brother's political ambitions. The Dwarf Lower Class was caught breaking the law and going to be executed. The Dalish Elf was tainted by the Darkspawn and kicked out of their clan lest they infect anyone else. The Townish Elf either killed the son of an important noble for kidnapping and trying to rape them/their fiance and actually raping their cousin, or they were accused of trying to kill the noble's son after sparing his life and had to flee their home either way. The Mage was either banished or sent out from the mage's circle. And the Human Noble had their home stormed by a rival noble who murdered their parents and killed everyone else who was present so he could claim their lands and position for himself. No matter what, the Grey Warden has no home and spends most of the game camping in the wilderness. | |

Missing (Miraculous Ladybug) sees this happen to Ladybug after she's hit by an akuma that erases its victims, causing her to lose all memories of her alter ego. As a result, Marinette mysteriously disappears, while Ladybug has the niggling sense that there used to be someplace she went when she wasn't on duty, but she just can't think of it right now... and anyway, there's more important things to focus on, like fighting crime! | |

In the Marvel Cinematic Universe fic A Little Red and Blue, Sharon is inadvertently sent to the year 1944. Lacking time period appropriate currency, she's unable to get basic necessities for herself such as clothing, food, and shelter. She is later found by the past Steve and Bucky who are more than willing to pay for her; Bucky's aunt Agatha insists on paying Sharon for saving her from getting mugged and helping around her apartment building, but Sharon is unwilling to accept any money from them unless she absolutely has to. Sharon barely has any more clothes than what she was currently wearing before she was sent back and it's mentioned that she took temporary residence in an empty apartment unit, even timing her showers at the same moment of her unknowing neighbor so that nobody notices that she is currently occupying the room. | |

The Gaang from Avatar: The Last Airbender fit this trope to an extent, while Katara, Sokka, Toph, and Zuko have homes to go to. They choose to travel as nomads with Aang to put a stop to the Fire Nation. Aang on the other hand has his former home turned into abandoned ruins thanks to the Fire Nation's purge of Airbenders. They all fly from place to place on Appa, setting up tents or sleeping in homes offered to them. | |

Although Digby in his narration claims to be a dashing Gentleman Adventurer going on missions for the government and fighting a never-ending battle against his unknown nemesis, "Some Bastard Who's Presumably Responsible," he and his sidekick, Ginger, are in fact deluded, drug-addled hobos, and their "adventures" are merely them committing acts of petty theft of money and alcohol and occasionally beating and robbing random people. | |

Shadows of Doubt allows you to become one if you so choose. The pre-made scenario gives your Private Detective a modest apartment and a small bank account to rely on for the purposes of keeping your various meters in the green, but if you decide to go into a randomly generated scenario, you can roleplay as a hobo, wandering the city, taking odd jobs, and relying on either the generosity of others or the occasional opportunistic breaking-and-entering for food, water, or a hot shower. It is entirely possible to ignore the randomly generated crime storylines and treat the game as an immersive homelessness survival simulator. | |

Throughout a good portion of Beyond: Two Souls, Jodie lives as a homeless fugitive, moving from place to place and trying to keep a low profile. She's on the run in the first place because she technically went rogue, furiously cutting ties with the CIA after learning she'd been manipulated into assassinating an African president. A chapter of the game - aptly titled "Homeless" - has her reduced to begging on the streets in the dead of winter, almost too tired to care anymore. Thankfully, a small group of other homeless people take her in. | |

Shazam!'s Billy Batson starts out as a homeless orphan who, depending on the version, was either kicked out or ran away from an abusive foster home. Despite this, he also turns out to be so pure of heart that he's chosen to become the superhero Captain Marvel. Eventually, this leads to him getting off the streets and Happily Adopted. | |

After the prologue and release from imprisonment in Yakuza: Like a Dragon, Ichiban has no home to go back to due to being in prison for eighteen long years. Although he doesn't have much time to process that thanks to Adachi picking him up and telling him what he missed. However, his state of homelessness really settles in when he wakes up in a garbage bin and ends up having to live among a small commune of homeless people (one of them being Nanba, an ex-nurse hobo who becomes one of Ichiban's closest allies and playable characters). However, with some luck and determination, he steadily moves out of it as the game and plot progresses. | |

Kaim, the protagonist from Lost Odyssey, is an amnesiac immortal mercenary whose memories return in the form of dreams as the player progresses in the game. He's had homes in the past, but being immortal, he has outlived almost everyone he ever knew.

In Shadowrun, characters who are unwilling to spend any money on keeping a Lifestyle are automatically relegated to Street Lifestyle, which means living like this. Street lifestyle comes with a number of not-so-fun drawbacks, chief of which being that you obviously do not have a place to live and as such all your equipment has to be carried around constantly or else will likely be stolen between runs. For the enterprising roleplayer the game even provides a disadvantage called "Hobo with a Shotgun", which forces your character to live like this and gives them dice pool penalties if they ever spend a night someplace fancier than Squatter Lifestyle. | |

The Punisher has to move pretty frequently among the safehouses he's established around the area. They are often abandoned buildings, storage units, or even little-used access areas of the New York Subway. Notably, Frank Castle technically still has a house, but it's not been 'home' to him ever since the murder of his family. He deliberately stays there as little as possible and when he does, he can't even sleep in his own bed—it reminds him too much of his wife. | |

He actually resists Sandra's attempts to convince him to rent an apartment, because he could buy dozens of burgers for the money it would cost.

In From Muddy Waters, Izuku has no home to go back to after All For One discovers and abducts Inko. After this, Izuku is forced to live out of a manga cafe and eat meals from the corner store. He frequently runs into difficulties explaining where he's going home to, usually claiming that his mother is stuck at work because of a hardass boss. The owner of the manga cafe, Hakucho, eventually catches onto this and offers him a room upstairs and meals out of sympathy. | |

There was a time in the 1960s where Captain America lived in a series of seedy hotels, before taking to the open road on his motorcycle. It made for an interesting metaphor about the state of country at the time, but it was more than a little annoying to read him bemoaning his lack of home and family, when all he had to do was join The Avengers again and move into their mansion. | |
