A position in Football(or soccer in NA). Play far up the pitch and generally the highest goalscorers in the team. Types of Striker include but are not limited to:
Target Man: Someone who the other players try to 'target' with their long passes, usually because they are tall and can win a lot of headers.
Pace Merchant/Fast Striker: A quick, nimble player whose team-mates will often look to play 'in-behind' the opposition defence.
Poacher: Looks to get on the end of rebounds and deflections and generally positions himself well to score, downside is they might be quite selfish.
Many players have qualities of each type.

An undefinable god-like person dwelling in a dark, trance-like state of mind, who revels in challenges.
Striker scilently yet lethally put down his opponent from the shodows before scanning the scene for his next victim.
