taker
One who accepts
A taker is someone who takes—accepts an offer, seizes an opportunity, or receives something.
Any takers for the last slice? asks who wants it.
A risk-taker accepts danger; a hostage-taker seizes people.
The word often implies someone who takes more than they give: He's a taker, not a giver.
