Because this is where my mind is: What's your character's housing situation like? Do they own, rent, live with family, DO WHAT THEY WAAAAANT? Anyone have homeless pups?

Castiel: Angels don't seem to have to be concerned with housing. But he does keep a room at Milliways (mostly to store stuff).

Parker Lee: Recently rented a small house with one of her coworkers from the ranch.

Luna Lovegood: Lives in a shared dorm in Ravenclaw tower during the school year, and with her dad in their house outside Ottery St. Catchpole during the holidays.

Dumbledore: Hogwarts is home.

Mary Bennet: Lives at home with her parents.

John Winchester: Currently lives on the upper floor of Jim Murphy's house. Technically he rents. While I think Jim would let him and the boys live there for free, John and his pride insist on paying for their keep. He pays a small amount for room and board and does odd jobs around the house and church.

(Huh. None of my pups currently own their own home.)

Charlie lives in the Bar.

Gibbs lives where he can, but he wouldn't say he's homeless. Even if he is. Pirates are merely not moored to any one place.

Cy lives in the Titans Tower. I have no idea who actually owns it or paid for it. Assume it was Bruce Wayne. Or Maxwell Lord. Or David Xanatos.

Knox owns a nice two bedroom place outside of Gotham, paid for with his money from Rachel Grey.

Howard Stark owns a large house near Los Angeles - not quite a mansion, but certainly big and expensive - and rents a penthouse suite in Manhattan. He's considering also buying a smaller house near where he hopes to build his Long Island factory after the war. He has money, you see.

Kirk has an apartment in San Francisco, though whether modern ideas of ownership and rental still apply is anyone's guess. If he were to live at this address today, it would be an expensive condo, given the view. He inherited the family farm in Iowa, which he recently transferred to someone else. And he shared a cabin in Yosemiite Park with his former lover Antonia, and which neither uses anymore.

Ben lives in the Baxter Building and owns a brownstone as well.

Hank lives at a CIA facility.

Julie lives with her parents or boards at PS238 depending on the time of year.

Kate has a penthouse her father bought for her. It sort of bothers her considering she's practically disowned him.

Mars owns and runs a farm in Marin county.

Beast Boy lives at Mt. Justice with Ms Martian and whom ever else lives there.

Thalia is currently living at Camp Half-blood and has no other options.

Palamedes I imagine is wandering the different courts in England doing the medieval couch surfing but he does have land holding in Brittany which I may have him return to soon.

Enzo mostly resides in a four-person dorm room (top right bunk bed) in the Guardian Academy dormitory tower. When he's home on vacation, he reoccupies his old room in Dot's house (which, while not a mansion, has plenty of room and is definitely in the Good Neighbourhood).

When he was younger, before Dot became COMMAND.COM, they lived in the basement of Dot's Diner. Just for the record.

Ray lives in the Firehouse, which is slowly expanding as a result of the Ghostbusters operation being nationalized by the Federal government. When he's not there he's either in the TARDIS with Romana, or at the Maxim Stantz Paranormal Responder Training Facility at Floyd Bennett Field.

Gordon currently lives with Alyx in the Greenbrier Resort and Bunker in White Sulfur Springs, West Virginia. Shephard's there too.

Ellen has a house in Megaton that she was given for saving Sheriff Simms' life after dearming the town's nuclear bomb against Mr. Burke's wishes. She spends remarkably little time in it, but it's at least four metal walls and a ceiling, which is all she really asks out of a home.

Varric rents a room in the Hanged Man tavern in Lowtown, in the city of Kirkwall. It's quite a nice room. Frankly, I think it's somewhat bigger than my original studio apartment, and despite the Hanged Man's reputation somewhat cleaner.

Medic lives in whatever local BLU corporate headquarters has available. He travels a lot, so he's good with this.

Arcade originally lived in a bunk in the Old Mormon Fort, the Freeside headquarters of the Followers of the Apocalypse. Since he's traveling with Corazon these days he now more or less lives wherever they can bed down for the night and not get eaten by deathclaws or stung by cazadores or their throat slit by the Legion or you get the idea.

Mordin is currently on a salarian planet living in the very nice quarters afforded to top researchers. He is rarely in them. Salarians sleep maybe one hour out of every twenty-four and Mordin tends to break his up into five or ten minute chunks. Rumor has it that he doesn't sleep, he waits. This is not all that far off.

Thalestris lives in the girls' quarters for the bull dancers in the Labyrinth, the royal palace at Knossos. The girls' rooms are locked off from the rest of the Bull Court and the palace, because girl bull-dancers have to stay virgins or they'll be killed (lesbian activity's fine, just nothing that involves guys). They're really nice rooms considering that they're basically slave quarters.

And Belar lives wherever the heck he wants in whatever way he wants because he's a god.

Carol Danvers lives in a mansion across the street from Central Park, along with her housemates/New Avengers teammates—plus the Cage's daughter and superhero nanny. Avengers Mansion belongs to Luke Cage, who bought it from Tony Stark with a dollar he borrowed from Danny Rand.

Lady Mary Crawley lives in a mansion in Yorkshire with her parents, younger sister, their many servants—and also Edith. Downton Abbey belongs to Lord Grantham, who inherited it from his father, and it is entailed to Mary's fourth cousin, because she is a woman and cannot inherit, which is not fair.

So I guess I only have pups that live in other people's mansions!

Tommy currently lives in a rented apartment in Brooklyn. He used to share it with his wife and children, but she moved out with the kids and is threatening to divorce him for the billionth time. At this point, Tommy's 82-year-old father has moved in with him (again). Previously the elder Gavin had been living on his own after Tommy's mother died; and then with his new wife, until she died and was eaten by her own cats; and then with his brother Teddy, until Teddy got arrested for murder. The Gavin family is awesome.

Dan Evans lives in the Bar, because he's dead. Before that it was on a ranch just outside the town of Bisbee, Arizona.

Skellig is migratory, and has spent many years squatting in abandoned barns/warehouses/apartments/garages, wherever he could find a bit of shelter. Now that he and Katya are traveling together in his world post-apocalypse, he's taking advantage of her 'existing' (and having ID) and they're still migrating, but most of the time it's a step up from the 'about to fall down around your ears' locale. Currently - they're in Cleveland.

Han Solo lives on his ship.

Jake Lonergan has a house, but doesn't remember it. So technically he's homeless of sorts?

Carl Benton is in Africa, hopping from refugee camp to refugee camp as he's needed / as he gets sent to different conflict areas. This means he varies from having a room in a block building to a sturdy canvas tent; he's fine with either of these options. Soon he'll be heading to Sangala, though, and getting himself a more permanent location. In my headcanon, while he sold his house in North Carolina after leaving the service, he likely still keeps an apartment somewhere in the world, under a false name. Will he tell me where it is? No.

Doc Scurlock is for all intents and purposes, homeless by choice in his world. He keeps a room at the bar in the staff hallway, but out in his world he has no land or property - it's hard to do that when you're trying to keep people in the dark about the fact that you're alive. Also, he's pretty close to being broke right now, so he is looking for work...planning on heading back to New Orleans from Alabama, at the moment.

AHH! I forgot the Probie. I've got to rewatch canon - I can't remember if he's still living with his mom or if he's got an apartment (and with who) at this point. /bad mun Either way, he's in Brooklyn, New York. And definitely renting (though if he's living with his mom, likely not paying very much - probies don't make that much money after all) a place.

Tavi grows up on his uncles steadholt (farming community). The rest of his life is approximately spent on Crown property. While during the initial few months of his stint as an officer he's in a tent, and then on a travelling campaign for a year or two, right now he's living in the command building of his Legion (probably also Crown property). He lives in Riva (Aleran city, not island on Gara) for a few years, and then the rest of his life in the new Citadel at Appia. Takes him a while to own a home.

Lois lived wherever her father was for years. In six months to a year she'll live in an apartment over the Smallville coffee shop, and in-canon eventually an apartment in Metropolis with her fiancé. Right now she lives in Clark Kent's bedroom on the Kent farm.

Mark lives with his parents, in the Inland Empire of California (in and around Riverside, San Bernardino, and Ontario), east of LA. It's a nice two-story, ranch-style home, with a two-car garage, covered patio, and big back yard. Next Fall, he and his best friend, William, will be moving into the freshman dorms of "Upstate University."

Yrael lives in Milliways, in a cardboard box-half lined with cloth, in the back corridor. He also has his room upstairs, but that is mainly storage. And he has a room in New Orleans. ^_^

Zelgadiss travels a lot - he is either staying in an inn, or camping out. Has no living family, and owns no property apart from what he carries with him.

Sunshine lives in a rented apartment up on the third floor of a rambling, old-fashioned house on the edge of a nature preserve. It's a spacious apartment, with a large living room with a balcony that faces the garden and gets lots of sunlight. Her landlady lives downstairs, and it's just the two of them around the place, mostly. Them and their hella-many wards. It helps, when one is twisted up into vampirey-things, to have a retired Wardskeeper as landlady. ^_^

Aang kind of considers his whole world to be his home. Such is the way of Nomads.

Raph considers New York to be home, but for the most part he's either shacked up with Abigail in her rooms at the tavern, or at Trebond-Young keep in Olau.

Mike and Splinter currently call Milliways Home.

Ida resides at the Jolly Fats Wehawkin Employment Agency.

The Loompas live in the walls. IN THE WALLS. Sleep tight.

Felix is basically a nomad. This is by choice, against his natural inclinations.

He's got some issues to work out.

Kain has some sort of quarters in the Dragoon barracks, and probably also something in the castle proper. I've never really investigated very far into this matter.

Fluttershy has a cottage. Whether she owns it or what is one of the many unanswered questions in the wide world of Equestrian finance.

Cranky seems to have a house. How he got it without ever having come to Ponyville before puzzles me.

Will lives in Sherwood forest with Robin's Men, they sleep in the Barnestable caves and cottages and small places they've made habitable throughout the forest or outside. He has a room in Milliways but doesn't use it much.

Charles has a mansion in Westchester but is currently living in the CIA Facility.

Sameth has a tower room and workshop in the castle at Belisaere, but he also spends time on the road as Wallmaker sleeping rough or being hosted.

Moist lives from inn to inn, he's a nomad but he doesn't like sleeping rough unless he has to. One of the issues of growing up in Uberwald, he'd rather not sleep outside, too many things try to eat you.

William lives in a ranch outside Bisbee, Arizona with his mother and brother.

Jane lives in a house with her sister, parents and one of her brothers in Hampshire, England.

Demeter lives in a huge house with an enormous garden in Southern France with Persephone during the Spring/Summer and in the Winter, she walks Europe.

Tumnus has a room in Cair Paravel but still has his house by the Lantern Waste.

The Pirate King has the captain's cabin on his ship.

Fry: shares an apartment with Bender. Technically he lives in the closet. (It's a long story.)

Brisco: rents a room whenever he's not out on the trail.

Shawn: tends to move a lot, either by choice (he's got that kind of "gotto go, need to see what's new" spirit) or not (canon states he has "experience" with being evicted.) He tends to choose rather quirky living spaces - the one we see in canon used to be a dry cleaner's.

Stuart lives in Trinity College at Oxford.

John lives at 221B, Baker Street, London.

Ianto splits his time between his staff room at Milliways and the Hub in Cardiff.

Clementine: Lives in a classy ranchtype bungalo in a bad neighborhood. with her explicit nude portraits over the couch, enormous candelabra in the living room and Tasteful decor everywhere. Enjoy the boxed wine. You'll need some sugar with it with it.

Dixie: has multiple addresses, but mostly lives in her apartment over the Horseshoe Club in San Francisco, which contains her four-poster bed (it's an antique).

Juliet: Lives in an apartment large enough to house a great dane and an irascible cat; I handwaved it as a condo, though canon might prove me wrong next season.

Pinkie: Maintains an apartment in Sugarcube Corner, likely down the hall from the cake twins.
