You get these by having certain things done to, by getting deeds. You need to get most of these emotes done to you 100 times.

However, rumor says it only counts for 5 a day, it is thought that surrender only counts as 2 a day.

These are only the ones that have been seen in Beta.

T=Title no emote
E = Emote no title
ET = Emote + Title

So it would be:

Bow – ET- /Heropose + Hero
Cheer – ET - /Firebreath + FireBreather
Confused – T – Befuddling
