If the campaign or just the PC moved spent time with a tribe or clan or something where they could learn the ways  of those people then they could go into that class.  Yes I still use training.In my game world of Greyhawk the term barbarian would mean “foreigner.”  Your PC could be labeled as such without actually being one.I get what an street urchin is but they don’t have a background for “wild orphan” or “camp scrounger.”  It’s easier to just change it a little bit then reinvent the wheel.I haven’t had anyone try a “city barbarian” but I could see that, a massive metropolis (in fantasy terms) has a group that lives under the streets in tough conditions always on the edge of survival, learning to shrug off hardships through sheer toughness.  Maybe you were a slave brought to the city and escaped or something like that.If you as a player think of something half way reasonable I will work to fit in most if not all of it.  I had a player who played a mute due to injury, he never spoke at the table, only made gestures or wrote things down.  I wouldn’t have used that idea but it works for him.</blockquote>
