HOBOS

R.J.
[x]

R.J. is very loud and very obnoxious. These traits, along with the fact he's constantly drunk/sugar-high from root beer and other sodas, puts the class off from him at the beginning. He's a very once-in-a-blue-moon character who is mostly there to get in Principal's way. Or everyone's way, actually.

Patrick
[x]

Probably one of the most favored in the group, Patrick is, in fact, not actually homeless. He's a teacher at Greater Upper Eatside High School, but enjoys the company of his ex-classmates and only really shows up around Cody, Ernesto, and is sometimes a substitute teacher at the Middle School.

Olivia

One of the 'city' hobos the class meets. Olivia often chills with some of her homies in the man-made Greater Upper Eatside National Park, though she mostly stays around the city limits. She is a pickpocket and one of the 'wiser' hobos, teaching Jim how to "pick a pocket like a pro" and preaches her hobo wisdom. Some people think she's the famous artist Ollie O, but no one knows for sure.

Ernesto

Ernesto, a hobo-man who teaches Wilderness and his class to how "hop trains like a pro." Olivia and Ernesto are the only two hobo characters that continually pop up. Ernesto is a sewing genius and not only made his little cape out of an umbrella, but he also fixed up a woman's dress into the shirt he wears. He makes a tiny living out of 'Trash Dollies,' stuffed animals similar to Beanie Babies, but these toys are made out of and stuffed with trash.
He's also one of the very few characters with colored eyes.

Cody

Hank

[x]

Hank is a drifter, a 'don't-mess-with-me-or-you'll-regret-it' sort of guy. He's probably the only hobo character that isn't nice to the class whenever he meets up with them; in fact, he's consistently an ass. Like Patrick, Hank isn't actually homeless. Because he's a drifter, however, he's considered scum due to the fact he lives in a motel.
"A motel, honestly. It's disgusting." Mrs. Danilewenski wrinkled her nose. "But what do you expect from a man like that? He might as well be a bum!"
