What is omegaverse?

Omegaverse is an AU that sprouted from ideas originating in werewolf fanfiction. In the omegaverse, humans have wolf-like traits and take on one of three main dynamics: Alpha, Beta and Omega. These are sometimes referred to as a “secondary sex” as opposed to the “primary sex” male/female/other.

Alphas:

Tend to be leaders. They are protective and can be aggressive. They have a tendency to be easily swayed by emotion. They will not allow harm to come to their mates or loved ones. They are often naturally talented and/or charismatic, as well as strong. They can often be seen in positions of leadership. Alphas tend to be larger than betas and omegas. Alphas can be intimidating. They have what is called an “alpha voice” that can be used on betas and omegas which makes them more likely to obey.

Alphas can impregnate female betas, female omegas, or male omegas. Female alphas can not become pregnant, and if they do, likely cannot carry to term. Female alphas have a retractable penis and internal testicles. Alphas have the ability to form a “knot” to encourage pregnancy during mating. If this occurs, partners are stuck together until it goes away.

Betas:

Are the most common dynamic. They tend to have to become the peacemakers, being more emotionally stable than the other two dynamics. Betas are very versatile, and vary a lot from one to the next. They sometimes struggle under the shadow of alphas who seem to have an easy time excelling. However, due to their large numbers and their ability to more easily remain rational, they are in the majority in many places of work. Betas tend to be smaller than alphas, but larger than omegas. Betas are most similar to a regular human, with the males being able to impregnate others and the females able to become pregnant. Male betas can impregnage female betas, female omegas, or male omegas (the same dynamics that alphas can).

Omegas:

are able to become pregnant regardless of their primary sex. Omegas have a natural insitinct to nurture and have a tendency towards being submissive. Omegas go into heat at regular intervals, which causes alphas to become somewhat irrational around them. Because of this instability they cause and because of their reduced productivity during these times, omegas are (in some universes) seen as being inferior. They are sometimes underestimated. Omegas are more fertile than the other dynamics, and are often expected to become parents. Omegas are typically smaller than betas and alphas. Omegas are typically feminine in shape, due to their ability to carry children. A male omega’s body self-lubricates during heat/mating in order to facilitate mating.

—————Terms to know:

Pups: Babies. Commonly between 1-3 are born at once.

Rut: in some universes, alphas experience rut regularly. This is similar to an omega’s heat, and causes them to want to mate. An omega’s heat can also cause an alpha to go into rut.

Presenting: when a person’s dynamic finally becomes apparent (usually during puberty or the teenage years).

Nesting: the trait of building a bed out of soft objects and one’s/one’s loved one’s things, typically seen in omegas.

Feral: to turn wild and animal-like, usually as a response to extreme stress. It is most commonly seen happen to alphas, then omegas, and less commonly to betas.

Slick: usually referring to the lubrication that is naturally created inside male omegas during heat or arousal.

Scenting: the act of rubbing one’s scent on another person or thing. It is seen as a very intimate act when done between partners, and is used to mark something as associated with the one who marks them. Scent glands are located on the back of one’s neck, behind/under the ears, and on the wrists. (Position may vary slightly from universe to universe)

Bonding: to bite a partner on the back of the neck, officially marking them as your partner. Alphas can do a bonding bite on any other dynamics. Betas can do a bonding bite on omegas or other betas. Omegas cannot do this bite. Bonding is an emotional experience that connects two people for an extended time. The mark from a bonding bite is long-lasting (and in some universes, permanent) so long as it was done by a dynamic that is capable of it.

Soul bond: in some universes, soulmates exist. A soul bond is the strongest bond.
