* ''WebVideo/PiratesSMP'': It's a common occurrence throughout the pirate world for a person to not know one or either of their parents, given how dangerous it is; Cleo remarks on Day 1 that Scott (and by extension, his brother Acho) is one of the lucky few to have both parents as a non-first-generation pirate. Even among first-generation pirates, they tend to be estranged from their families (by choice or by force) or otherwise have little mention of their families back at home, for whatever reason if at all.

* From Wiki/{{Killerbunnies}}, we have multiple cases of this.
** Nothing is said of Creamline's parents

to:

* ''Roleplay/DawnOfANewAgeOldportBlues'' features multiple characters that have absent [[MissingMom mothers]] or [[DisappearedDad fathers]], and some with parents that are [[ParentalNeglect neglectful]] or [[WhenYouComingHomeDad busy]], but Hyeon is a unique case where both of his parents are alive and have abandoned him, initially leaving him to be raised by his grandmother before his cousin took over upon her death. The implication is that they left him to pursue a hedonistic lifestyle.
* ''Literature/EntirelyPresentingYou'': Several characters only have one parent in their life. For example, Alexis, the protagonist, doesn't have her father.
* ''Literature/HeroesSaveTheWorld'': It's noted that Hannah has had to make meals for her younger siblings, often enough that seeing Austin get out some food for other people makes her think of these occasions. Many times, there wasn't even properly nourishing food, and she would have to scrounge up a meal from junk like chips.

** Atlasnaya's parents sold her to the TheMafiya
** Snow's parents were killed
** It is stated that the Junkard sisters have no clue where their parents are and they have been living like that for awhile but how long is never really said but it couldn't have been very long, seeing as Munchie is probably a year old.
** Visceraline was speculated to have had something to do with her parents' disappearance, which, knowing her, wouldn't be outside of any foreseeable realm of possibility.
** Mahalo's Parents were not directly mentioned but given the fact that she has a place to stay, it would be a safe assumption that are still alive and are also living in Honolulu. Likewise, Cerise's parents are alive or otherwise implied to be.
** It is unknown what happened to Experiment [=XI0014101=]'s parents but, seeing as she was used as an experiment since she was born, then odds are she was conceived through surrogate and was taken away soon after birth. The same circumstances could also apply to "Lilith".
** According to Fabie, she lives with her grandmother in New York.
** We have no clue what happened to Shiyu's parents and whether or not she is an orphan is unknown, although she was taken from where she initially was.
** For the Urchins, Cybele's parents died in a fire, Absinthe was living with an aunt and uncle before they gave up custody of her, and Briallen has no memories of her parents and has been without them since she was baby.
** Constance was taken away from her prostitute mother when she was a year old by her great-aunt Esther
** Gunhilde was sent to live with her grandparents and that was after she burned her house down.
** Iglika was brought back to Bergen, New Jersey where she was abandoned by her parents, and that was because her parents couldn't deal with her getting into fights.

* FanFic/ImAMarvelAndImADC lampshades the frequency of this with comic book characters in its Father's Day special. While recording Father's Day messages, Spider-Man asks if any of the superheroes gathered have parents who are actually alive and gets met with nothing but blank stares.
* In ''[[http://www.freewebs.com/captain_gamer/ Captain Gamer: Digital Defender]]'', main character Kate Gaines has only had her father mentioned -- and that, only as an offhand notice in one paragraph of BackStory!
* More than half the protagonists in ''{{lonelygirl15}}'' have parents who are either dead, missing, members of an evil cult, uncaring, or some combination of the above.
* ThatGuyWithTheGlasses spoofs the Disney's way of doing this in Chester A Bum's review.
-->'''Bum:''' But then he is like "Oh my god, I am a parent and married in a Disney film, I'M DOOMED!" and then he dies.
** Speaking of TGWTG, WebVideo/TheNostalgiaCritic's daddy left the family a while ago and is implied to have died of AIDS just before the ''Film/{{Alaska}}'' review.
* Occurs quite often in ''SurvivalOfTheFittest'', for various reasons.
* Trevor James Goodkind (who becomes Phase) starts off in the WhateleyUniverse as a spoiled rich kid, heir to billions, and second in line to take over all of Goodkind International. But the Goodkinds hate and fear mutants (and his mother is clinically mutophobic). When he manifests as a mutant, he is kicked out of the family, disinherited, and then experimented on by a MadScientist in a Goodkind Research lab, some of which activities ''his parents witness''. This may be ''worse'' than having your parents die.
** There are other examples at the SuperHeroSchool Whateley Academy. Generator has a deceased mother and a child-abuser criminal father. Carmilla's mother is dead and her father is a demon who can't visit this plane of existence under normal conditions. Bladedancer's parents are both dead, her father having been killed by the demon who is pursuing her to this day. There's also Heyoka, Timeless...
* This is implied to have happened to at least three of the heroes of ''TheQuestportChronicles'', further cementing their statuses as [[BreakTheCutie broken cuties]].
