Sub-Dynamics. A mutation in the genes.
These tend to be very rare and are determined by their extreme differences in their base dynamic. Most sub-dynamics are considered outcasts in society as they do not fit the norm of their base dynamic. It tends to make the pure dynamics uneasy with such a harsh contrast in their personality and scent. Often a sub-dynamic will hide their mutations with medication so they do not disturb the natural flow of the other dynamics. It can cause added stress onto them, making them even more unstable that they already are.In the past, sub-dynamics were kept in institutions, considered mentally ill before genetic research was developed. Before that, sub-dynamics were even killed off for stepping outside their bounds.
- Deltas are a branch off the Beta dynamic, they tend to lean more to the passive and submissive traits between a Beta an omega. They often excel in counseling and meditation studies as their neutral but subtly sweet scent is calming, not as demanding as an omegas and helps clear the mind. They are noted to be commonly born from a beta and omega parent, before genetic research it was first assumed they were infertile and defective omegas.
- Sigmas in history have often had it the worst, being a dominant omega was frowned upon until recent times. They are immune to an alpha's command and will even fight an alpha if they overstep their bounds. Sigmas tend to be hyper-aggressive and will take any reason to pick a fight. They are highly territorial, almost rivaling an Alpha's need to keep their possessions close. Sigmas do not feel the drive to make nests, and it is very rare that they go into heats. Though when they do, it is compared to a rut almost. Its rare for a Sigma to have an alpha partner as they both fight for the dominant position in the relationship and it sometimes tends to smear an alpha's notorious pride. Sigmas are usually the genetic mutation of an alpha and omega offspring.
- Gammas are likely the most ridiculed of the sub-dynamics, a submissive alpha is always the but end of a joke. However, they tend to be extremely caring partners, highly aware of their partner's needs and wants and can be a hopeless romantic. Gammas like family, enjoy having a steady home and aren't as possessive or territorial as most alphas are. Despite this, they will fight to protect those who cannot defend themselves. With their empathy along with the alpha desire to protect, they can be a valuable assets to any law enforcement as they do not desire to compete with other alphas. They don't mind following but also can take the lead if need be. Gammas are usually a result in low fertility in an alpha and omega couple.
- Thetas are a branch off the Omega dynamic, they are considered the weakest of the sub-dynamics. Usually they are under the care of others, unable to really live their life independently due to their lack of will and self-confidence. They are easily abused and their omega scent is weak, in ancient times they were held in great value as pleasure slaves. In current times, they often have programs in place to deal with sub-dynamics. In a Thetas' case they will often be put under the guardianship of betas or even Gammas. With recent studies it seems a Theta thrives well with a Gamma, but due to each sub-dynamic being rare they often live in shared households with a gamma and several Thetas. A Theta is a mutation between two low fertility omegas.
- Upsilons are the most dangerous out of the sub-dynamics, a hyper-aggressive alpha who is more feral than human. Unable to function normally in society, they are often kept in institutes even to this day. In history, the most bloodthirsty of warlords were assumed to be this sub-dynamic. They hold little rationality and are in constant need to prove themselves through physical violence. They are even known to hunt down and actively kill omegas instead of the normal alpha instinct to protect them. The only good thing is that they don't tend to be very intelligent, often relying on pure basic instinct that planning out the future. Upsilons are a result in a mutation between two high fertility alphas.
- Iotas are the mystery of sub-dynamics, it appears they branch off all three base dynamics, resulting in a neutralization of all three. They are considered ghosts. They hold no scent and their instincts and drive are absent, often making them cold and heartless. They do not seem to have any real morality, but they aren't dangerous as long as they are set in their habits. Just don't expect one to go out of their way to help another person. They are self-oriented but hard workers, their only goal in life seems to simply live. They aren't exactly the most social either, blunt and direct they will never tell lies. How Iotas are created from is a mystery, some speculate the union of all three dynamics to create a mutation.
- Epsilons were thought to be infertile alphas but are actually aggressive betas. Their desire to dominate and possessive makes them rivals to the average alpha. Their scent overcompensated for their dynamic, making it oppressive and can sometimes trick lesser omegas into thinking they are an alpha. They often leave base dynamics off balance, uncertain to determine if they're an actual threat due to their agitated scent that isn't as threatening as an alpha's. When faced with an alpha, a Epsilon will strive to compete and outdo the alpha, to prove themselves to be just as dominant. Epsilons usually only accept omegas as their partners, unable to have a healthy relationship with anyone who doesn't submit to them. Epsilons are usually the mutation of a high fertility alpha and a low fertility beta.
