An ex- WoW player, who held a wide arsenal of abilities, including but not limited to: transforming into a tree, bird, cheetah, bear, Mr.Kitty, and a boomkin. Often characterized by his tendency to make silly mistakes, saying dumb things, and moving and doing things rather slowly. Thus, the name Garebear, deriving from bears in WoW being rather slow in movement and combat. Once on a blue moon, the Garebear offers quite enlightening wisdom that he shares with intelligent friends, but most of the time it's just a really slow lump of flesh that does silly things. The Garebear often listens to crappy pop music, until taught to listen to Hard rock and metal. The Garebear also almost never watches TV and is extremely naive and oblivious to many things. Despite constant acts of depravity and idiocracy, the Garebear is quite lovable and funny, entertaining millions with it's idiotic attitude.
Butters from South Park can be characterized as a Garebear, from the episode "Stupid Spoiled Whore", as he did used to play WoW from the episode "Make Love not Warcraft"

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
