⊹ ࣪ ˖ The Party’s A/B/O Dynamics! ⊹ ࣪ ˖
Mike Wheeler
Alpha | Early bloomer (presented at 12)
Sweet citrus, like clementines, cinnamon, old parchment when calm.
reluctant Alpha, only sharpens when defending the Party. Fully comfortable letting Nancy lead in his family pack but he’s very protective of the party. Softest with Will, he fully thinks HE is the heart of the group or at least the soul. His distressed scent subconsciously reminds El of her mom, thats why she feels close to him from the start.
Will Byers
Omega | Trauma-triggered presentation (presented at 13)
Fresh cotton, key lime cheesecake, rain when calm.
Presented immediately after surviving Vecna’s possession. Cries in Joyce’s arms for a full day. Affectionate but boundary-conscious, cuddles on his terms kind of like a cat, finds grounding in Mike’s presence and scent since it’s the one he’s known the longest and the one that calmed him when the situation with his dad was roughest
Dustin Henderson
Beta | Betas also present but it’s like a common cold fever (presented at 14)
Butter cookies, saltines, butterscotch warmth.
Logic-first leader and resident advice-giver (he’s annoyingly always right)(not for Mike tho he doesn’t listen to anyone really). Struggles with emotional nuance, relies heavily on Steve for cues. Pretends to hate being scent-marked, absolutely does not(he loves hugging and roughhousing with Steve because he likes when he scents him, it makes him feel protected, will never say it tho lol)
Lucas Sinclair
Beta (presented at 14)
Earthy pine, crisp apples, calm and steady.
Comfortable in his designation, glad he doesn’t have to deal with the bullshit funniest in the group but like actually, second-best cuddle buddy(after will). Mike’s backup Alpha when things get heavy, he will curb stomp a bitch, someone taught Erica all that sass, it was 10yo Lucas. Protective even at a distance. His scent blends easily with Max’s(!)
Max Mayfield
Alpha | Late-ish bloomer (presented at 15)
Ginger, cloves, sharp spice softened by a soft honey, very herby when calm.
Presented alone after the mall incident. Carries anger born of neglect, Billy didn’t help. Finds safety and understanding with Eleven, she’s the first alpha she could ever really trust. Constant friction with Mike(when she presents they understand eachother a bit more but it’s still very much a hostile friendship) Deeply protective of Lucas almost annoyingly so.
Eleven / Jane Hopper
Chemically engineered Alpha / Enigma (Like more instinctual and physically strong) (presented at 9)
Soapy lavender, fabric-soft floral, blooming roses when happy/calm.
Presentation induced as an experiment (she will always be a bit shorter than average because of this) Three days in intensive care. Trauma tied to instinct so when she spends more time with the party she’s scared of her most basic instincts hiring them) Mike’s scent reminds her of her mother very faintly (she doesn’t know this at first tho obviously). Hopper teaches her safety, language, and choice. Steals Joyce’s and Will’s clothes for grounding!!
