A subtrope of Hobos, the Tramp is a romanticized vagrant. He rarely has any significant material possessions. He survives from day to day via grifting, mooching, petty thievery, and playing off others' sympathies. He's usually quite intelligent, though, and generally won't do anything truly horrible. Walking the Earth is part and parcel of a Tramp character — if he stays in one place he's not a Tramp. If the heroes are looking for a down-to-Earth character to restore their faith in humanity, the Tramp can usually do it. He's also usually well-connected, with other tramps; they form something of a cooperative union. In some works, the existence of the Tramp can be proof of a Crapsack World. Tramps are sometimes portrayed as straight villains, but this role usually falls to Crazy Homeless People in modern fiction. The Tramp is most common in works Older Than Television. If he does appear nowadays, he's not as likely to be called a "tramp," due to Have a Gay Old Time — nowadays "tramp" is often used to mean a woman who Really Gets Around. |

Belgarath is introduced at the beginning of The Belgariad as a wandering storyteller but is later revealed to be something else, and could thus also be considered an aversion of this trope. In the prequel Belgarath the Sorcerer it's revealed that he has played this part for about 500 years before the events of the first novel. | |

Played on in the former English title of You're My Pet: Tramps Like Us. Momo, the male lead, is practically homeless, sleeping on couches. Our female lead, Sumire, finds him sleeping in a box. | |

Both versions of My Man Godfrey, though the forgotten man (a.k.a. tramp) starts out rich, goes on to be a tramp, makes the money back, and uses it to help the other tramps. Oh, and marries the pretty rich girl. | |

Alan in The Petrified Forest is a failed author who is hitchhiking across America, without a dime to his name, after his rich wife dumped him. He's charming and erudite and Gabrielle the truck stop waitress is instantly enchanted with him. | |
