my a/b/o dynamics guide !
the omegaverse is a sub-genre of fan fiction that introduces an alpha/beta/omega dynamic based on fictional biological characteristics. in this universe, characters often exhibit behaviors and roles similar to wolf packs, including dominance, submissiveness, mating instincts, and other specific traits related to the life cycle and reproduction. here is everything you need to know!
subordinate role: although alphas are physically imposing and have a strong presence, in my au they occupy a position of lesser social power and authority. they are often assigned roles of protection and physical strength.
they are respected for their physical abilities, but their opinion and decisions are subordinate to omegas, who are considered the true leaders and power figures.
physically imposing: alphas are big and muscular, with bodies designed for strength and endurance. their presence is powerful, and they can intimidate with their size and robust physique.
intense energy: they radiate an energy that suggests physical power and vitality. although their social standing is lower, their appearance makes them stand out in any environment.
behavior and personality:
possessive instincts: despite their hierarchical position, alphas have strong possessive and protective instincts. they tend to form intense bonds with their partners and may show jealousy or territorial behavior, especially if they feel their bond is threatened.
protective nature: they are naturally protective and feel driven to defend those they consider their own, be it their partner, family or close group.
relationships and interactions:
protection-based relationships: they seek to protect and care for their loved ones, even if they do not have the authority to make important decisions. their love and loyalty are manifested in their desire to keep their partners and friends safe.
strong pheromones: they emit powerful pheromones that can attract omegas and affect betas.
reproduction and biology:
strong reproductive drive: alphas have a strong reproductive drive, which is reflected in their desire to form bonds with omegas and protect their mates. they can be very fertile and are biologically designed for reproduction.
intense bonds: they form mating bonds based on intense physical and emotional connection. these bonds are deeply protective and possessive, reinforcing their guardian nature.
protective and security tasks: given their physicality and natural abilities, alphas are often assigned to tasks that require strength. however, isn't the rule for everyone.
respect for their strength: they are respected for their ability to protect and work hard. their strength is seen as a valuable resource for the stability and security.
intermediary role: betas occupy an intermediate position. they often act as intermediaries and mediators between alphas and omegas, taking advantage of their ability to communicate and understand the perspectives of both.
balance and moderation: they do not have the physical dominance of alphas or the biological influence of omegas but are known for their ability to maintain peace and order within the community. their role is crucial to social stability.
neutral appearance: betas have a less prominent appearance compared to alphas and omegas. they tend to be of medium build, with no features that stand out excessively, allowing them to blend easily into diverse environments.
calm presence: their energy is calmer and more controlled. they convey a sense of balance and serenity, which makes them be seen as trustworthy and reasonable individuals.
behavior and personality:
pragmatic and rational: betas are known for their pragmatic approach to life. they tend to be rational and think logically before making decisions.
peaceful nature: they prefer to avoid conflict and instead choose to resolve differences through conversation and negotiation.
relationships and interactions:
communication-based bonds: in relationships, betas value open communication and mutual understanding. they do not have the intense biological drives of alphas and omegas, which allows them to form relationships based on affection and emotional compatibility.
influential without coercion: although they cannot influence others through pheromones like alphas and omegas, their ability to communicate and reason makes them influential.
reproduction and biology:
lack of extreme biological drives: bettas do not experience rut/heat cycles this allows them to live more consistently and predictably compared to alphas and omegas. but, as humans, female betas experience period cycles once a month.
reproductive compatibility: they can breed only with other betas, although their reproductive capacity is not as emphasized compared to the other two groups. their focus is more on breeding and support rather than intense reproduction.
coordination and administrative jobs: betas often fill roles that require organization and communication skills. again, not the rule.
respected for their judgement: they are valued for their ability to make balanced and fair decisions. they are often consulted on important issues and are entrusted with handling sensitive situations.
figures of influence and leadership: omegas occupy the highest position in the hierarchy. they are respected and admired for their ability to influence and guide others. their role in society is fundamental, and they are seen as natural leaders in many areas of life.
innate authority: although they do not always seek explicit power, their presence and abilities give them an innate authority that few question. they are seen as figures of wisdom and balance, capable of making decisions that benefit the collective.
beauty and elegance: omegas are often considered very attractive, with a beauty that captures the attention of others. their features are soft and harmonious, giving them an air of elegance and grace.
charismatic aura: they have a magnetic presence that attracts those around them. their natural charisma and ability to connect with others gives them great social influence.
behavior and personality:
empathetic nature: omegas are known for their empathy and ability to understand the feelings of others. this sensitivity makes them excellent leaders.
self-confidence: although they can be gentle and understanding, omegas are also very self-confident. they do not hesitate to express their opinions and to guide others when necessary. their confidence is based on their knowledge and their ability to positively influence their environment.
relationships and interactions:
strong emotional bonds: omegas tend to form deep and meaningful bonds with those around them. they value relationships based on honesty and mutual support. their ability to connect emotionally allows them to build lasting relationships.
influential pheromones: they emit pheromones that can influence the behavior of alphas and betas. although they do not always use this power consciously, their presence can calm or motivate those around them, reinforcing their leadership position.
reproduction and biology:
heat cycle: omegas experience a heat cycle that increases their desire to mate and attracts alphas to them. during this period, their pheromonal influence is intensified, making them even more attractive to potential mates.
high fertility: they have a high reproductive capacity and are biologically programmed to be caretakers and protectors of their offspring.
leaders and guides: in society, omegas often take on roles of leadership and guidance. they may be public figures, community leaders, or in charge of raising and educating new generations.
change agents: thanks to their empathy and communication skills, omegas are able to promote positive changes in their environment. they are advocates for justice and the common good, using their influence to improve the quality of life in their community.
mating cycles/rut: an alpha goes into heat every month, which can last from 3 to 10 days. during this period, the pheromones of an alpha are much stronger and they show a more aggressive behavior. in addition to the insatiable desire to release the knot by having constant sexual contact.
alpha voice/command: is combination of pheromones, will and spoken word, both betas and omegas are forced to comply with the command. they are resistant to the call and command of another alpha, but not to the call of another enigma or omega voice.
alpha drop: it occurs when the alpha faces extreme situations of stress or danger, which leads to a kind of altered state of mind where he is temporarily disconnected from his environment. in this state, the alpha goes into deep introspection and appears distant or withdrawn. it is crucial that they are under the care of their partner or close people to guide them back to stability. they may also experience a fall after the formalization of a bond, where they surrender to their partner for support and care. this fall may be voluntary or arise involuntarily, depending on their mental and emotional state.
pheromones: alphas have scent glands. the scent they produce is usually more aggressive and oppressive than that of the other genera, dominated only by the scent of an omega in heat. through their scent, they can easily control a room full of bettas, showing their intention or mood regarding the situation.
male alphas: at the base of the penis resides what is known as the knot. a knot can be inflated through sexual intercourse and will lock into the vaginal or anal walls of a beta or omega to trap sperm released after climax so that they can ensure the maximum chance of reproduction.
female alphas: in the anatomy of female alphas, they possess a retractable member that is stored in the vaginal canal when not in use. during sexual arousal, this member extends and activates, functioning in a similar way to that of male alphas.
bonding marks: they often allow themselves to be marked first by the omegas, as an act of devotion and deep commitment. they demonstrate their loyalty and willingness to bind their lives together forever, creating an unbreakable bond that strengthens their emotional and physical connection. this symbolic gesture of being marked first reflects the respect and importance they attach to their relationship with their omega, prioritizing their well-being and safety.
preheat: can last up to a week or more, essentially preparing the omega for the heat to come. their scent gradually becomes more potent the closer they are to their heat. during this period, the omega prepare for a space in which they feel safe and secure. This is generally known as their nest.
heat: when it, they experience an increase in body temperature and pain in the vaginal or anal walls. their scent becomes stronger to attract potential mates. the heat can last for 2 to 5 days, during which the omega becomes incoherent and desperately seeks to be breed. in this state, the omega is vulnerable and their decisions are driven by desperation and should not be followed. entering an omega's nest uninvited during the heat is considered trespassing and is severely punished.
nest: an omega's nest, created by an alpha, is a safe and cozy space filled with blankets, pillows and alpha-scented clothing. it is designed to offer comfort and protection during the heat or in normal situations, providing a calm environment that relieves the omega's anxiety and reinforces their sense of security and connection.
omega voice: the omega voice is something simple and common, more of a method of reinforcement to accomplish facts or get what they need. although it is easier to carry out, it is also not widely used and has no other purpose than to get what they want.
omega drop: it can happen when the omega feels surrounded by danger or goes through a lot of stress, thus falling into a mental space where it connects with its omega and appears to be gone to others. they must be under the care of their partner or close ones in order to come out properly. it can also happen after the formalization of a bond, falling into it and allowing themse6 to be taken care of. they may fall of their own free will or if their state of mind requires it, this being involuntary.
bond marks: they have smaller fangs than alphas and enigmas, they have the ability to bite to claim or mark a bond with their mate, these being only of the aforementioned castes, never betas. it can be given in any situation under any circumstances, it is valid and not so noticeable, but brilliant. if their mates manage to accept this mark, they proceed to make an equal one on the opposite side of the omega's neck, making the bond official.
omega warning call: only occurs when they are at high risk, which is not very common. it causes alphas, betas or enigmas that put them in such situations to be stunned enough to let them escape. it is an extremely high-pitched screech that has the ability to block hearing for minutes, causing discomfort and pain.
male omegas: the process of delivering of male omega involves adapting his anatomy to allow for birth. during delivery, the omega's intestines temporarily close, and his uterus moves into the anal canal to facilitate the expulsion of the baby. the omega experiences contractions and pain similar to those of a conventional birth, but adapted to his structure.
female omegas: the delivery of a female omega is a natural process where the baby is expelled through the vaginal canal. during delivery, the omega experiences contractions that help open the birth canal and allow the baby to pass through.
with proper assistance, the baby is eventually expelled through the canal. after delivery, the omega receives care to ensure his and the newborn's recovery.
are a connection that is established only between alpha and omega and between alpha and alpha or omega and omega. there are no beta and alpha, beta and beta, beta and omega bonds.
bonds are not subject to feelings, an omega/alpha may "mark" an omega/alpha by instinct, and may not necessarily love them, both may hate each other, but the bond will hold them together.
there is the possibility of breaking a bond, this happens when one of the two dies. when it happens, it's very common for both sides to go into a deep depression, because the bond unites both parties physically and mentally.
when they are in different places or when they don't want to be bonded, for too long, they feel such an emptiness that they do not have the strength to continue, many even die in this condition.
they are a means of transmitting signals that can be both volatile and non-volatile. the volatile ones are those that can be perceived with the sense of smell (the "aroma") and the non-volatile ones are those that generate changes but are not perceived with the sense of smell (those that are not in the aroma). here, the volatile ones (aroma) generate sudden changes in different people (as can happen with omegas and alphas).
