Ing 

Share definition Flag
Introduced in Metroid Prime 2: Echoes. Ing were born when a phazon meteor struck the planet Aether with such force that a dimensional rift created a dark version of the world (Dark Aether). This warring race seeked to destroy the light world and its peaceful sentients, the Luminoth. They are capable of possessing other creatures, allowing them entrance into that world; light is fatal to them otherwise.

In solid form, Ing are dark, spider-like creatures with five legs and several glowing red eyes (although they can be depicted as one big red orb like in the official art). They can also revert to a puddle of dark matter.
The Ing stole the "Light of Aether" from Agon's Energy Temple.

Striver 

Share definition Flag
The striver is an interesting phenomenon that is seen across college campuses. In essence, the striver is an over-achiever who comes from a working or middle class family. He may be an immigrant. He may have been a slacker in HS who was "born again" into an academic wunderkind. Or he may just be an over-achiever who is keeping at it.

The striver is willing to sacrifice his social life at the expense of Phi Beta Kappa and Summa Cum Laude. The striver is the guy who stays at the library long after you are gone. The striver is the guy who takes 30 credits/semester and considers anything below an A/4.0 failure. The striver doesn't work on campus, he is too busy finding ways to pad his resume instead of working retail or workstudy. The striver lets his grades pay his education by applying to ten scholarships a year.

The striver is a future Soros/Fullbright/Rhodes/Gates/Marshall/etc. fellow. The striver lives to study. For the striver, their fun comes from the rewards they expect to receive in return for their diligence. Be it Law School, B-School, academia, or politics. The striver seeks to find the American Dream through academic success.
Anthony was a striver. He transfered from a TTT to an IVY and graduated in 2 years. He studied his ass off and went to Penn Law. He got a Biglaw offer. But lost it all because of an unmoderated mesasgeboard.

Successful strivers:
- Barack Obama
- Harold Koh
