What is Gebo/Android 16 like in your AU?

https://dragonball.fandom.com/wiki/Android_16

Name: Gevo/Android 16

Series: Dragon Ball

Gender: Male

Status: Alive

Family: Dr. Gero/Android 20 (Dad), Vomi/Android 21 (Mom)

Flower Motif: Yulan Magnolia (Magnolia denudata)

Flower Meaning: Freedom

Weapon of Choice: Energy Cannons (Built Into his Robotic Arms)

Associated With: Interdimensional Hero Club

Hero Form Appearance: A mix between his android armor and YuYuYu’s Hero Form outfits. The black undersuit remains, yes- but the green armor gets a major makeover. The bottom part of the wristbands, boots, and body armor starts out green, but as you go up, it starts becoming white, and then a soft yet gentle pink- giving off the appearance of both the Yulan magnolia and Hanami dango. There are patterns of the Yulan magnolia all around, and the only other accessory is a Yulan magnolia brooch worn over the left breast. The Yulan Magnolia’s petal shape can be seen in the tailcoat and collar.

Full Bloom Gauge Location: Heart

Guardian: Thundera (Based on The Thunderbird)

Favorite Food: Does anything made by Chi Chi count?

Parallel To: None

Bio: Originally created by Dr. Gero for the express purpose of killing Goku, Android 16 would go on to become his ally instead during Cell's rampage. Developing a fondness for nature and animals, he would fight to protect the birds and the forests from Cell. He was destroyed by Cell, playing a part in helping Gohan awaken to the state of Super Saiyan 2 before Cell snuffed him out.

This pic is the reason why I chose the Yulan Magnolia as his flower motif- THEY LOOK LIKE BIRDS!!

Magnolia denudata (Yulan Magnolia var. 'Yellow River')

In my neighborhood there seems to be a regular schedule to flowering in magnolia trees. First come the white star magnolias and then the pink magnolias start to bloom. At the end of the spring flowering season these pale yellow ones put on one last show. Soon the curtain will fall and there will be no more performances until next year. My advice? Enjoy your local magnolia flowers while you still have a chance.

The flowers of Hakumokuren have bloomed, it is a proud flower like an emperor, it is a powerful flower like a saint. Every time this flower blooms, I remember the person who planted this tree in this garden. " 'This flower is so noble, this flower is so precious, that if it is placed in the garden of lowly people like you, the house and the master will be haunted' a traveling monk said the other day. For the past four or five years, my wife was died and I lost money, and nothing good has happened to me because I planted this tree, it would seem to me, so I brought it here. Please let me plant it in your garden." K said this and planted it. Then twenty years or so passed. Then he became poor and sold his house. He moved to the city. His second wife, he had welcomed, died. His child died. Long after that, he committed suicide. The Hakumokuren he planted blooms every year. It blooms as nobly as in the past.

Flowers in Chinese - Magnolia

photo from wikipedia

"二乔木兰（学名：Magnolia × soulangeana）是木兰科木兰属的植物，分布于中国大陆的广州、杭州、昆明等地[2]，是由玉兰（Magnolia denudata）和紫玉兰（Magnolia liliiflora）自然杂交得到，花朵颜色介于两亲本之间，花被片外面上端为白色，基部呈紫色，花内面白色"

Taken from Wikipedia, translation mine

'erqiao magnolia is a plant in the magnolia genus of the magnolia family; it is distributed over places like guangzhou, hangzhou, and kunming in mainland China. It is obtained as a natural hybrid of yulan (magnolia denudata) and the purple yulan (magnolia liliflora) the flower's colours are situated between those of the two parents; on the outside of the petals' upper edge is white, the base assumes a purple colour, and inside the flower is white.'

I have a decent Mandarin level but right now I'm trying to read more complex or literary texts such as newspapers, novels, or non fiction. Reading Wikipedia is actually a great, easy and accessible way to adjust myself to it. I would love to be able to go to China and visit botanic gardens whilst understanding the language properly and being able to immerse myself in it.

Some flower meanings for Magnolia include beauty, purity, and dignity. They are also one of the few flowers around today that originates from before the era of the dinosaurs!

#2863 - Magnolia denudata - Yulan Magnolia

Also known by a range of synonyms, which by the look of them were often attempts by the taxonomist to name this beautiful ornamental after people they knew.

Also known as the lilytree and in pinyin as yùlánhuā ('jade orchid/lily').

Native to central and eastern China, and cultivated in Chinese Buddhist temple gardens since at least 600 AD. A symbol of purity during the Tang dynasty and planted in the grounds of the emperor's palace. Also the official city flower of Shanghai.

Magnolias are almost all beetle-pollinated, and are also notable for the extreme age of the family compared to other flowering plants - around 100 million years.

The Seventh Level: Flowering plants

Flowering plants refer to all those flowering but infertile plants including some flowering but fruitless trees and herbs. Flowering plants possess very high spirituality; they are almost imitations of flowering plants in the Ten-thousand-year World. In addition to decorating nature, the main function of flowering plants is to serve the sages and celestials by reminding and enlightening those people with high spirituality not to forget the existence of the Deity Celestial Being World and to advance to the Ten-thousand-year World.

1.The highest level of flowering plants are peonies.

2.The second level of flowers include Chinese herbaceous peonies, Chinese flowering crabapples, lotuses, daffodils, wintersweets, sweet-scented osmanthus, plums blossom, lunar September chrysanthemums, magnolia denudata, azaleas, orchids, and epiphyllums.

3. The middle level flowers include roses, cloves, clivia minata, spring orchids, Chinese hibiscuses, Albizia julibrissin, Indian Kalimeres herbs, jasmines, winter jasmines, laurels, tulips, chrysanthemums, cacti, Echinopsis tubiflorum, and the like.

4. The lowest level of flowers are poplar blossoms,��reed catkins, rattan flowers, day lilies, and water caltrop flowers.

 The Eighth Level: Livestock

Livestock are under human control and protection and serve the needs of humankind directly. Although they are not as free as wild animals, their risk of danger to their survival is lower than the others. If wild animals were to be compared to "illiterate people", then domestic ones would be like disciplined high school students or university students trained by civilization. Wild animals only know how to obtain, whereas domestic animals only know how to dedicate.

The Ninth Level: Wildlife on Land and Aquatic life in the Sea

The Tenth Level: Trees

The Eleventh Level: Insects

The Twelfth Level: Herbs and Crops

1. Glossy ganodermas are the most superior level of herbs. 

2. Asparagus ferns and bracketplants are high level of herbs.

3. Crops and vegetables are middle level herbs.

4. Plain grass is at the lowest level.

The Thirteenth Level: Microorganisms and Fungi

The Fourteenth Level: Demons and Monsters in Hell

The Fifteenth Level: LIFE in Frozen Layer

The Sixteenth Level: LIFE in Inflamed Layer

The levels of LIFE have been divided into the above categories mainly according to their levels of spirituality of LIFE. The higher their levels of LIFE are, the higher their levels of freedom, living standards, and quality of LIFE will be, and vice versa.

That is to say, gods do not want to become Celestial Beings or Buddhas, Celestial Beings and Buddhas do not want to become humans, humans do not want to become birds, birds do not want to become flowers, flowers do not want to become domestic animals, domestic animals do not want to become wild or aquarium animals, and wild animals do not want to become trees or crops, and so on and so forth.

For humankind, the direction of the advancement of LIFE should aim toward higher spaces of LIFE. Ignorant persons should advance toward laity, laity should advance toward mortals, mortals should advance toward sages, sages should advance toward Human Celestial Beings, and Human Celestial Being should advance toward Land Celestial Beings, Deity Celestial Beings, Super Celestial Beings, and Buddhas.

The path of LIFE is very clear. From the perspective of space, people in the human world should strive for the Thousand-year World, Human Celestial Beings there should strive for the Ten-thousand-year World, Land Celestial Beings there should aim toward the free Deity Celestial Beings, and Deity Celestial Beings who wander worldwide all day long should strive toward becoming Super Celestial Beings in Elysium World, which is the top level of LIFE. It is impossible for human beings to become gods, and needless to say, there is no possibility of becoming the unique Greatest Creator.

Everything is clear and simple when seen from this perspective.
