Trickster
In mythology, and in the study of folklore and religion, a trickster is a character in a story (god, goddess, spirit, man, woman, or anthropomorphisation), which exhibits a great degree of intellect or secret knowledge, and uses it to play tricks or otherwise disobey normal rules and conventional behaviour. It is suggested by G.P. Hansen that the term "Trickster" was probably first used in this context by Daniel G. Brinton in 1885.
Mythology
Tricksters are archetypal characters who appear in the myths of many different cultures. Lewis Hyde describes the Trickster as a "boundary-crosser". The Trickster crosses both physical and often breaks societal rules. Tricksters "...violate principles of social and natural order, playfully disrupting normal life and then re-establishing it on a new basis."
Often, the bending/breaking of rules takes the form of tricks or thievery. Tricksters can be cunning or foolish or both. The Trickster openly questions and mocks authority. They are usually male characters, and are fond of breaking rules, boasting, and playing tricks on both humans and gods.
Trickster (board game)
Scrabble Trickster is a word game created by Mattel and announced on 6 April 2010, designed as a spin-off to one of the company's products, Scrabble. Mattel intends to sell the product in Europe starting in July 2010, but not in North America, because the company owns the rights to Scrabble and its derivatives worldwide except for in North America, where rival company Hasbro holds control of the game.
Rule differences
Trickster has rules that are similar to those of Scrabble, with some notable differences. The new game occasionally allows words such as proper nouns to be used, as well as words that are spelled backwards. Players can also be allowed to "steal" letter tiles from other players. Players can only execute these moves when they place a word on specially marked squares that ask that the player draws a randomly chosen card, which contains instructions that may include one of the previously mentioned actions.
Reception
The initial announcement of the new game brought forward some controversy when widespread media announcements implied that the rules to Scrabble would be changing, before learning that the new rules would in fact apply to a newly developed game. Criticism of the newly introduced variant typically refers to the game as a "dumbed down" version of Scrabble, made to appeal to more casual players who are more familiar with the names of celebrities than lesser known words from the Scrabble dictionary. Mattel acknowledges that the changes are made to appeal to a larger audience, especially to a younger audience.
Trickster Online
Trickster Online (also known as Trickster: Links to Fantasy, Trickster Online Revolution, Trickster Online: A New Discovery and Trickster Online: Season 2) (Korean: 트릭스터) was a free, 2D isometric MMORPG developed by the Korean company Ntreev Soft. All versions of Trickster Online have been discontinued as of January 2014.
Story
The characters compete in a "contest" to win treasure on an island organized by the late Don Cavalier. The story as a whole is heavily influenced by Greek mythology. Each section of the plot is split up into 6 episodes each unraveling a portion of the final story, which ends up being more than just a "treasure hunt".
Gameplay
Trickster Online is graphically an anime-inspired MMORPG. Gameplay in Trickster is mostly click-and-fire based; movement, combat, and many other commands are all controlled by mouse. Gameplay also includes a few non-combat "systems". First, there is the Drill System, in which a player drills in certain types of terrain for items and EXP. Second, there is the Card Battling System, which sets two characters against each other in a game of cards, played with card items found by various means during normal gameplay. The game is currently released under all its versions as a free-to-play MMORPG but with a Cash Shop feature, also known in game as MyShop, that allows purchase of in-game items through real cash/credit charging.

Trickster
by: MoistI'm a trickster burn so brightly
I still hate you motherfuckers everyone
Wrapped in glory bound so tightly
I still need you even when I'm overcome
Saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
I'm a trickster burned so badly
I still hate you motherfuckers everyone
Wore my sickness so politely
I can't be your everything to everyone
Void of meaning swelled just slightly
I still need you, I still need you
Gone forever so concisely
I still need you, I still need you
Saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
And if you hate the world
Say I've been there and if you hate yourself
Well, don't go changing all the times
I used your body done my way
Can't say I'm sorry, ripped the gloss off
All your memories, consequences so demanding
Bruised and beaten, conscience bleeding
Sexually, sexually, sexually
Saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
To be saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
And I'm saved by the light
Let me go on, let me go bright
