Why not? We've had that before.

I like the idea of a protagonist coming from a poor background. We've had upper class people joining so far (Ezio/Aveline/Arno) with three others being from what you'd count as middle class (Al/Connor/Shay/Edward)

But someone extremely poor and street smart would be good. Taken from poverty and inducted, it would ensure loyalty. And then we could build up the awesome. That actually reminds me of Levi from Attack on Titan.
