THE ALPHA/BETA/OMEGA MEME

In our world, sexual roles are commonly defined by genders -- male or female or other, by sexualities -- gay or straight, bi or asexual or in-between. But what if they were defined by something else entirely?

Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse is a fusion of fanfiction tropes and animalistic behavior. In this world, sexual roles are divided into three categories: the Alphas (the dominant, the protective and the aggressive), the Betas (ordinary humans) and the Omegas (submissive, fertile and able to carry children).

CONTENT WARNING: Below the cut contains descriptions of animalistic sexual behavior as applied to humans, situations of dubious consent, explicit situations, mpreg, and scenarios of societal oppression. Click with caution!

ROLES:
1 - The Alpha.
* Stereotypically type A personalities.
* Anatomically: Males have a penis; females may have a penis in addition to a vagina.
* Alphas knot their mates, meaning that the base of the penis swells and locks them inside their mate while they produce copious amounts of semen in an effort to breed.
* Strong sense of smell.
* Near an Omega in heat, they experience a compulsion to mate that is almost impossible to overcome.
* Alphas may go into rut, which is their equivalent of Omega heat, and drives them to mate.

2 - The Beta.
* Ordinary human being.
* Males have penises; females have vaginas.
* Can mate to anyone.
* Might be able to smell hormones of Omegas and Alphas, but will not be overwhelmingly affected by them.

3 - The Omega.
* Stereotypically submissive, quiet, intelligent and less physically able.
* Female anatomy is similar to Betas; males are self-lubricating and may have either an external or internal vaginal setup.
* Regularly go into heat, which involves being overcome by the urge to mate. They are unable to consent while in heat.
* May be made compliant by a bite to the neck. However, that may also induce a mating bond.
* Often regarded as second-class citizens or prizes to be won.

SITUATIONS:
1 - Bonding - Love at first sight. You've spotted your soulmate. You can smell them, you can feel them, you know that they'll be with you until the end of your days. Unless there's something between the two of you. It could be age - maybe one of you has to wait until the other has reached maturity. It could be that the bond is one-sided, and the other has yet to fall in love. It could be an unwanted bond, or society could have divided you into different places. Is your love strong enough to conquer?

2 - Heat/Rut - The need is coming on you strong. Everyone for a half-mile around can smell it. Better find someone to ride it out with, or hole yourself up in a room with a few bottles of water and a durable sex toy. And you'd better hope that there isn't someone out there who will take advantage of your pliable state. Best case scenario, there might be a Beta who can take care of you, or fend off anyone too predatory.

3 - Pregnancy - Whether through a heat or not, you're pregnant. Congratulations - or condolences. Is it time to start a family, or time to start panicking?

4 - Suppressants - You're using suppressants to keep yourself on an even hormone cycle, skipping heats, or maybe pretending to pass as a different class of society. After all, Omegas might want to be in the military, where they're not usually allowed - or an Alpha might want to take a job in a university or as a nurse. Shouldn't they be allowed to, if their hormones are suppressed? Just hope that you don't miss a dose.

5 - Mistaken Identity - That friend that you always thought was an Alpha, or an Omega, or a neutral Beta, turns out to be something entirely different, and your world is turned absolutely upside down. Does it challenge your preconceptions? Or does it just ruin the balance between you two?

6 - Unlikely Pairs - After all, there's no actual reason that Alphas have to mate with Omegas. Maybe two Omegas can satisfy each other. Or two Alphas. Or your intended mate could easily be a Beta. Maybe this is just about breaking out of your pre-established role and becoming something new.

7 - Manifestation - In some cases, an individual may not know they are Omega, Beta or Alpha until their first heat/rut/manifestation, usually happening in early teen years. It may take you by surprise; it may be a blessing, or may be a deep disappointment.

8 - Other - Adventures in getting jobs, making families, fighting bad guys, and anything else you can come up with!

[Most likely an omega or beta]

[Open to any role]

[Beta or omega]

"Fuck," Nick mutters as he hears that. It really doesn't take much convincing for him to act on it. His hands go down to open Stephen's trousers then feel between his legs. One hand goes to his dick while the other feels lower.

He has a brief moment of thinking he should bite his neck but he pushes that thought aside for now.

Stephen is so wet his body's begging for it - he squirms to get Nick's fingers between his legs, and when he manages it, when Nick presses against the sensitive, swollen part of him, he grabs on and grinds down. "Yes, yes, yes, oh please," imagining those hands on fossils, on pens, skimming over research. Gesturing, in front of a classroom of students.

It hardly takes fingers inside him before Stephen's body shivers tight around Nick's fingers and he comes. It's hardly satisfying at all, just another surge of pleasure that makes him feel, makes him need; it wrings out only a tiny bit of the lust he's feeling and leaves him sensitive and trembling, having a difficult time keeping his feet.

[Omega]

[Alpha]

[Fair warning that if she's going to be Alpha, she's still anatomically correct. Just toppy, and if in heat likely looking to get pregnant.

Generally open to discuss if you have something mind!]

[I like Omega but Beta works too! Pregnancy is a favorite but will do anything.]

[mostly O/B but will A on request.

1. First anime, COS or manga (Brotherhood) canon.
2. OU/AU/!63 varieties available - mention in the subject line.
3. Previous game or meme AUs - mention in the subject line.
4. Open to discussion, here or PM.
5. Willing to prompt or make first posts.

No preference? I'll pick.]

[ Alpha or Omega for this one! ]

[ Alpha or Omega, for sure. ]

[Alpha all the way!]

( ooc | most likely an alpha, but easily can be a beta. )

( ooc; I rolled Bonding, if you're up for that? Figured I'd play Neal as an Alpha. I figure TJ being a former president's son, and Neal being an ex-con would throw a fun wrench into things.

If there are any other things you're interested in mixing in, feel free to let me know. )

[ I'm up for anything and everything thrown at me. This should be fun!

[ Neal had been in love before; loves that lasted, even to this day, and loves that disappeared as quickly as they came. He'd been through his fair share of ruts, but he'd always managed them well enough; he had far more self-control than people were willing to credit him with. Suppressants only became an issue once in a blue moon. Never did he think he'd bond with someone, though.

There was an art gallery in D.C. that was displaying some new works by one of his favorite contemporary artists, and to kick off the whole show, they had asked former president Bud Hammond to give a small speech. The paintings were all political, many of them dealing with events at the end of Hammond's second term and the beginning of Garcetti's; he had his sons with him as well, the family showing solidarity, or so the newspapers would say. Neal was a good sport and actually paid attention to the speech, keeping his gaze focused on former president Hammond and his son, Douglas.

It wasn't til the end of the speech that he looked over to the other son, TJ- and well, things shifted.

No, literally- it felt like the whole world just tilted into another position. Neal's eyes dilated; his pulse quickened, and he just felt like there was this clear line of force drawing him in.

The next thing he new, the speech was over, and he was trying to force himself away, but even as he found himself in front of what should have been a wonderful painting, he kept finding his gaze drawn to TJ. ]

[Seriously why did he need to find out that he was an Omega by entering his first ever heat? It was such a bad timing. And while not being at home to that. It sucked. Takafumi swore to himself as he tried to get back home while avoiding any living creature. Easier said then done, especially since his needs was growing for each minute. Someone should build save booths where you could go hide in situations like these. He wasn't sure for how long he could hold out without at least touching himself.]
