It's hard being a vagrant. You have to travel, find work, and sustain your life with almost nothing to help. But, contrary to popular belief, hobos are like a mini society. They work together, have signs and communacation, "religious" rules, and have their own communties. Hobo types vary. Some are the hard working types, finding work and making a living, the furtive type, stealing things and do other crime or shady things, the peddler type, which makes things and sells them, and many more. Now, roleplay as one.
HOBO CODE
A cross signifies "angel food," that is, food served to the hobos after a party.
A triangle with hands signifies that the homeowner has a gun.
A horizontal zigzag signifies a barking dog.
A square missing its top line signifies it is safe to camp in that location.
A top hat and a triangle signify wealth.
A spearhead signifies a warning to defend oneself.
A circle with two parallel arrows means to get out fast, as hobos are not welcome in the area.
Two interlocked humans signify handcuffs. (i.e. hobos are hauled off to jail).
A Caduceus symbol signifies the house has a medical doctor living in it.
A cross with a smiley face in one of the corners means the doctor at this office will treat hobos for free.
A cat signifies that a kind lady lives here.
A wavy line (signifying water) above an X means fresh water and a campsite.
Three diagonal lines mean it's not a safe place.
A square with a slanted roof (signifying a house) with an X through it means that the house has already been "burned" or "tricked" by another hobo and is not a trusting house.
Two shovels, signifying work was available (Shovels, because most hobos did manual labor).
HOB1.Decide your own life, don't let another person run or rule you.
2.When in town, always respect the local law and officials, and try to be a gentleman at all times.
3.Don't take advantage of someone who is in a vulnerable situation, locals or other hobos.
4.Always try to find work, even if temporary, and always seek out jobs nobody wants. By doing so you not only help a business along, but ensure employment should you return to that town again.
5.When no employment is available, make your own work by using your added talents at crafts.
6.Do not allow yourself to become a stupid drunk and set a bad example for locals' treatment of other hobos.
7.When jungling in town, respect handouts, do not wear them out, another hobo will be coming along who will need them as bad, if not worse than you.
8.Always respect nature, do not leave garbage where you are jungling.
9.If in a community jungle, always pitch in and help.
10.Try to stay clean, and boil up wherever possible.
11.When traveling, ride your train respectfully, take no personal chances, cause no problems with the operating crew or host railroad, act like an extra crew member.
12.Do not cause problems in a train yard, another hobo will be coming along who will need passage through that yars
RULES(Unbreakable.)
Typical RP rules (ex. No ubering, no godmodding, etc.)
Please be realistic. A hobo isn't going to have a thousands dollars and a glock with 90 rounds.
Put "POLICE" at the bottom of your CS if you read.
Hobos camp, so you can too.
Other things I forget.

Gender:M.
Intelligence:7
Strength:1
Charm: 7
Bio:An educated hobo. He passed high school and is living on the streets for nineteen y.ears. He is very good at chess- infact, that's how he makes a living, playing chess against people and betting that they won't win. His win lose ratio is 50/50. He has the following items: A tent, a pot, twenty dollars, a flint stone and a bundle to keep them all in. Mind you, this took all nineteen ye.ars to get. Currently, he is in a small town, and trying to find suitable work. He isn't very strong, so the highest physical work he'll be doing is cleaning out storage rooms. He is a VERY dedicated follower of the Hobo Ethnic code.
Other: No.
Apperance: He is a gaunt man, since he can't save up food to build up fat to keep warm and "Hibernate". Also 6'2, he has an impressive height. His clotes are a thick, black jacket, a red scarf and a black beanie. He, like most, has an untrimmed mustache/beard.
