[WARNING: SYSTEM ERROR. PLOT DEVIATION. WRONG TARGET ACQUIRED]

This crack ship has such a hold on me and my soul right now it's unhealthy.

Also, I'm never satisfied with how I draw Prima, is that my curse?

Terms You Might Want To Know For Your Wuxia/Xianxia Fic

MXTX's danmei are getting increasingly popular, and the fandoms are getting more fic-happy. I've noticed that some writers seem interested in writing their own fics but are concerned of making mistakes with niche honorifics and titles. I've noticed some that have jumped right in, but have made innocent errors that I'd like to correct but fear coming off as rude or presumptuous. And so I've made this list of terms that covers the basics and also some that are a little more niche since they're usually directly translated in cnovels.

DISCLAIMER: This is by no means a comprehensive list of everything one needs to know or would want to know concerning ancient Chinese honorifics and titles, merely what I myself consider useful to keep in mind.

Titles

Shifu: 'Martial father'; gender-neutral

Shizun: 'Martial father'; more formal than 'shifu'; gender-neutral

Shimu: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher

Shiniang: ‘Martial mother’; wife of your martial teacher who is also a martial teacher

Shibo: elder apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral

Shishu: younger apprentice-brother of your shifu; gender-neutral

Shigu: apprentice-sister of your shifu

Shizhi: your martial nephew/niece

Shimei: younger female apprentice of the same generation as you

Shijie: elder female apprentice of the same generation as you

Shidi: younger male apprentice of the same generation as you

Shixiong: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you

Shige: elder male apprentice of the same generation as you, specifically one who has the same shifu as you or is the son of your shifu

Zhanglao: an elder of your sect

Qianbei: a senior not of your sect

Wanbei: a junior not of your sect

Zongzhu: Address for a clan leader

Zhangmen: address for a sect leader

Daozhang: Daoist priests or simply a cultivator in general; gender-neutral

Daogu: Daoist priestess or a female cultivator; not as commonly used as 'daozhang'

Xiangu: Daoist priestess or a female cultivator; not as commonly used as 'daogu'

Sanren: a wandering cultivator

Xianren: 'Immortal Official'; a title of respect and power like 'General'

Xiuzhe: 'Cultivator', can be shortened to 'Xiu'

Xianjun: 'Immortal Master/Lord'

Xianshi: 'Immortal Master/Teacher'

Dashi: 'Great Teacher', address for monks

Xiansheng: Teacher/Sir; in ancient China, the connotation is very scholastic

Houye: address for a duke

Jueye: address for a noble lord, ei. a duke, marquess, earl, etc.

Wangye: address for king/imperial prince

Daren: address for imperial officials

Furen: Madam; the wife of an imperial official/nobleman OR a married woman granted a rank by the royal family

Nushi: Madam; the counterpart of 'xiansheng', connotation is scholastic

Taitai: Madam; address for an old married woman of the gentry, either wife or mother to head of household

Laoye: Old Lord; Address for an adult man with adult children of the gentry; possibly head of household

Nainai: Madam; Address for a married woman of the gentry, possibly wife of head of household

Shaonainai: Young Madam; address for a woman married to a young man of the gentry

Shaoye: Young Lord; address for a young man or boy of the gentry, generation lower than head of household

Xiaoye: Little Lord; can be a synonym for ‘shaoye’ OR the son of a shaoye if ‘shaoye’ is already being used within the family

Xiaojie: Young Mistress; address for an unmarried woman or young girl of . . . the gentry and only the gentry, I believe. Correct me if you know for certain this is incorrect. (WARNING - It's an archaic term that should really only be used in an archaic setting if being used as a title instead of a suffix, because the modern vernacular has it as a term for a prostitute in mainland China. [Surname]-xiaojie is fine; Xiaojie by itself should be avoided.)

Gongzi: ‘Young Master/Lord/Sir'; ‘Childe’; young man from a household of the noble or gentry class

Guniang: 'Young Master/Lady/Miss'; ‘Maiden’; an unmarried woman or young girl from a household of the noble or gentry class

Laozhang: 'Old battle'; polite address for an unrelated old man of lower status than you

Laobo: polite address for an unrelated old man of a higher status that you

Laotou: 'Old man'; informal but not derogatory, implies fondness/closeness

Laopopo: 'Old woman'; informal but not derogatory, implies fondness/closeness

Please note that all of these listed above can be used as stand-alone titles or as suffixed honorifics.

Strictly Prefix/Suffix

-shi: 'Clan'; the suffix for a married woman, essentially means 'née'. (ex. Say Wei Wuxian was a woman and married into the Lan clan through a standard marriage. She would be called 'Wei-shi' by her husband's contemporaries and elders when not in a formal setting. It implies lack of closeness; used by acquaintances.)

a-: A prefix that shows affection or intimacy.

-er: A suffix that shows affection or intimacy; typically for children or those younger than you

-jun: 'Nobleman'; a suffix for a greatly respected man

-zun: 'Revered One'; a suffix for a greatly respected man

-ji: A suffix for a female friend

-bo: A suffix for an older man of your grandparents' generation

-po: A suffix for an older woman of your grandparents' generation

Types of Heroes in My Hero Academia

One of the lesser world building aspects of My Hero Academia that has always interested me was the different types of heroes. Unfortunately, the series has only ever referenced only one kind: Rescue. So I’ll give you what I think the other kinds of Heroes with some examples.

Before I begin, I just want to make a few things clear: -The groups I have put heroes in is mostly focus around what they can do with their Quirks. How a hero trains or uses their Quirk can put them in a different category. For instance, Ojiro would be more fitting for Recon given the high mobility of his Quirk, but since he trains his tail to mix with his martial arts, it makes him more of an Offense Hero. -Just because a Hero is in one group doesn’t mean they can’t do what the other groups do. No.13 could still rip someone apart on an atomic level and Kirishima can still deck people.

There are seven types of Heroes that can be divided into two divisions with three types each and one outlier. These two divisions are On Field and Off Field Heroes.

On Field Heroes are ones directly dealing with villains or the problems caused by the villains. On Field Heroes are seen as the more favorable division to join, as they are the far more popular ones. On Field Heroes consist of the following groups:

Offense Heroes: These heroes are usually directly fighting villains to stop them. They’re abilities mostly focus on doing damage over anything else. Examples: Aoyama, Sato, Kaminari, Tokoyami, Bakugo, Present Mic, Endeavor

Defense Heroes: They’re Quirks focus around capturing\subduing a villain or protecting civilians that may still be nearby. Examples: Kirishima, Koda, Mineta, Sero, Tetsu, Ibara, Kamui Woods, Aizawa Cementoss, Best Jeanist, Fat Gum

Rescue Heroes: Heroes who focus around helping those who have been hurt or trapped by villain attacks or unfortunate circumstances. This option is preferable to those who have Quirks with high mobility or Quirks that help deal with obstacles such as debris. Examples: Tsuyu, Honenuki, No. 13, Ragdoll

Off Field Heroes are heroes that don’t usually fight villains directly. Instead they are the ones who assist On Field Heroes or fight villains through ways other then direct combat. Off Field Heroes consist of the following groups:

Support Heroes: Heroes that use their abilities to help heroes before or after they go into field work. This category is full of heroes with high intelligence, planning skills or those with medical abilities. Examples: Mei, Recovery Girl, Nezu, Nighteye

Recon Heroes: These Heroes mostly focus on gathering information or scouting potential threats. This category usually has Heroes with Quirks focused around sensory capabilities or high mobility. Examples: Hagakure, Shoji, Edgeshot

Social Heroes: This category is for heroes with Quirks that aren’t as suited for battle instead use their power to investigate, interrogate, or capture known villains without causing a scene. This kind of Hero is for those who are very good with people or Quirks that help them win without seriously fighting. Examples: Midnight, Shinsou, Ms. Joke

The outlier category is the Generalist Hero.

Generalist: These heroes have Quirks too board or versatile to fit in the other categories. Examples: Izuku, Momo, Monoma, Ectoplasm, All Might

However, there are some heroes that would belong one group, but their Quirks or skills are suited for another category: Uraraka: Rescue\Defense Shoto: Offense\Defense Mina: Offense\Rescue Iida: Offense\Recon Jiro: Recon\Offense Ojiro: Offense\Recon Kendo: Defense\Offense Mt. Lady: Offense\Rescue Pixie Bob: Offense\Defense

If you guys have any questions about my choices or where I would place the villains, feel free to ask.
