Noir. 

Share definition Flag
Noir. was founded in January 17th, 2008 by CEO Alekseyev Karrde following a split from his previous mercenary corporation (who had decided to go outlaw). Having had a taste of the mercenary life Alekseyev set forth to find a corporation which offered small gang warfare and, in the mercenary spirit, paid it's pilots for their performance. Combining his previous experience of running corporations, and his experiences as a mercenary pilot, Alekseyev founded Noir. - becoming one of (if not the only) corporation with a pilot orientated pay structure recruiting at that time.

As a one man corporation, Noir. performed well on it's first few contracts. Recruitment was initially slow due to the newness of the corporation and the competition from other start up mercenaries. However, contracts were aggressively pursued, leading to Noir. receiving a high profile contract against Exa Nation. This campaign saw Noir. put up comparable (or even better) fleets compared to the famed R.E.P.O mercenary corporation (who had also declared war upon Exa Nation later that same week). Since then, Noir. has taken on a gruelling contract schedule and shown extreme tenacity and valued competence, leaving a long string of happy employers behind.

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
