Suggestion: Female ranks as an option

Might be a "necro" but its relevant.

 

As an old Forum admin on different sites I rather see Necro posts than a brand new topic if the original topic isn't done being discussed or resolved by the OP. It helps keep the amount of topics I would have to moderate to a minimum. If I see a Necro post all I have to do is check who and wh it was revived. Considering OP Necro'ed it then she obviously didn't feel it was resolved completely. As for the ago of the post and the act of Necro'ing I only have one word "life". Just my two cents.

....

Oh and I am responsible for this since I was talking to Lady about the Demi-goddess rank.[DOUBLEPOST=1451429966,1451429118][/DOUBLEPOST]I took the liberty of copying the ranks down and giving my take on if a rank is Gender Neutral or not. Please fel free to edit or share your thoughts about it:

Lost Soul - Gender Neutral (GN for short)
Refugee - GN
Servant - Maid (not Maid Servant redundent)
Miner - GN
Field Worker - GN
Day Laborar - GN
Hunter - Huntress
Jester - GN
Smith - GN
Farmer - GN
Alchemist - GN
Viking - Shieldmaiden (Suggested by Mijikai)
Technician - GN
Knight - GN (though Dame could work)
Scientist - GN
Demon Hunter - Demon Huntress
Shadow Master - GN
Strategist - GN
Chief Engineer - GN
Necromancer - GN
Professor - GN
Warlock - Witch
Lord - Lady
Duke - Duchess
King - Queen
Saint - GN
Prophet - GN
Emperor - Empress
Titan - GN
Demigod - DemiGoddess (not in game yet)
Immortal - GN

 

I believe the female version of a Viking is Shieldmaiden?

 

Oooo I like it

 

Thanks for your input and the list consolidation! However, I will say that I have always been led to believe (and at least some of Google supports my perspective) that "Demigod" is Gender Neutral. For the purpose of a title, it also seems to be a little more concise.

I really do like Shieldmaiden as a fem. Viking though!

 

Demigod is mostly referred to as a male: "a man who is greatly admired or respected."

 

List of demigods - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
There are females on this list.
I dont think i ever heard a female for Demigod... other than Demigod.

 

Re-read my post mr Krhymez

 

Am i reading it wrong?

Demigod mostly referred to as a male

Meaning Demigod is a male term. I am so confused.

 

Mhm, considering Demigod isn't just a word for mythology, it's also used for:
"a former juvenile delinquent who would become a counterculture demigod"
Just seems to be a masculine word mostly I suppose, but you're right, there are females on that Wiki-page ^^

 

Well and then, we can over-complicate the issue by saying grammatically speaking, "Demigod" would also be the plural for both male and female, just as "actors" is plural for more than one actor or actress.

 

Wow wasnt expected a full blown debate. I just wanted a "Goddess" title for us females lol

 

Seeing as how "immortal" is the next rank, I expect that the intended definition of the "demigod" rank is

"a being with partial or lesser divine status, such as a minor deity, the offspring of a god and a mortal, or a mortal raised to divine rank."

Which is GN. And even the other definition (if you use an actual dictionary, and not googles default) is
"

1. a person so outstanding as to seem to approach the divine <the demigods of jazz>
   

"

A person. not just a "man" as the previous definition stated.
That being said I do agree that Female variants should be added to all the other roles if the name isnt GN (If they havent already). But I do see Demigod as being GN. (Personal Opinion, not going to kill anyone if "DemiGoddess" gets added, lol)

 

I love this idea!

 

LOL It's the internet, you can't every post anything without a debate.

 

I know just wasnt expecting it was all

 

Wasnt there a female Demigod in Percy Jackson?

 

... Yes.... Annabeth Chase. I'm offended you didn't know that.

Thats the main one anyway
Clarisse is another

 

Not for the Demigod/godess topic, but wouldn't the cunterpart of Shadow Master be Shadow Mistress?
