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!

Tommy Shepherd | Young Avengers | ota

[nofeelings]

[Alpha or a very heavily suppressed omega. I would prefer to steer clear of pregnancy. 1, 2, 4, 5 would be fun options, but I'd also be open to 6. Canonmates would be great, but cross-canon/medium is always welcome.]

[m/m only, please, no #3 this time around. open to any and all aus!]

5-ish. I've been looking for an excuse to tag you. :3

[punkkwando]

[Hwoarang always assumed he was normal. Or if he wasn't normal, then surely, he would end up to be an Alpha whenever his body got around to catching up.

You know what they say about assumptions.

The first time he found himself anywhere near Nathan he took notice, and wouldn't admit to himself why that was. Until he started making more and more excuses to visit his offices just to be near him. It was as though he'd do anything to catch the older man's attention.

Then one day... surprise, surprise. Hwoarang was simply making a delivery up to the chairman's office, and along comes his very first heat.

Which explains why he can't seem to be able to leave, just pressed against the back of the office doors breathing heavily and fumbling with the doorknob behind him.]

Don't make me leave. Please. C'mon...

Peter Hale | Teen Wolf

[Omega - #2 or #7 would be great. Info in journal!]

omega 7 for Lucy!

[crazyknifer]

Lucy was always this pretty little blonde that had caught Magato's eye before, but then there hadn't ever been anything too big about her to make her stand out among the other pretty girls who roamed the halls of their school. Some days he'd see her a couple of times and other days not at all, but he had never really thought more about her until recently.

Maybe it was the warmer weather that had her dressing in more relaxed clothes, that showed off what seemed to be perfectly smooth and soft skin. Maybe it was that, after poking around some about her, Magato found that little Lucy must have been an omega? A quiet, sheltered girl who seemed to know nothing of that world. Not much of a party-goer, either.

"Heya," Magato approached Lucy after classes had ended, while people were pushing through the halls on a Friday afternoon to get out and have their fun. He had something of a reputation in the school, for being a troublemaker and a delinquent, though no one had ever really caught him with any of that. He was still in attendance to the school, after all. Whether or not Lucy knew about him, Magato wasn't sure, though he did keep the possibility in the back of his mind as something to dispel, something that he'd probably need to get out of the way for Lucy to trust him.

"You know I've seen you around school a lot but I've never gotten the chance to talk to you, or whatever. Lucy, right? Magato." He pointed a thumb to himself. "It is Lucy, right?"

Billy Kaplan | Marvel | m/m

[noassgardian]

[Open to any role. No mpreg, please!]

Wally West | Young Justice | Alpha or Beta | OTA

[sciencewhizard]

( Crosscanon's welcome, as are AUs beyond just ABO. I'm familiar enough with Wally from the comics that I could play him as well if so desired. )

Re: Wally West | Young Justice | Alpha or Beta | OTA

[kid_flash_found]

(the part of my mind that is evil really wants me to suggest a scenario where Wally is stuck being the one to try to help Bart through his first heat...)

kili | the hobbit | alpha or omega

[kilimanjaro]

[taurohtar]

[Tauriel knows she is afforded a luxury many in her station are denied, and truly, she is grateful. The hassle of taking her suppressant pills every morning and every night is a small inconvenience, in the grand scheme of things, and it allows her the ability to move freely within Mirkwood, to serve in its army, to rise up the ranks until she has achieved her current status.

An Omega Captain is almost unheard of, especially one as young as she. Indeed, she is lucky to be so favored by her king that he has given her such opportunities.

She had settled into a comfortable routine as basically passing for a Beta, happy with this deception by omission, but then the dwarves appeared on their doorstep and everything went to hell in a handbasket. She finds herself running out the gates of her kingdom, barely remembering to strap her quiver to her back before she flees, and it isn't until she is crashing into the house where the orcs have gathered that she suddenly realizes she forgot something very important. She feels hot already, a flush under her skin that makes her clothing uncomfortable, and even as she fights back foul-smelling orcs, she can feel herself being drawn to a corner of the room, where the dark-haired dwarf lies.

Oh no.]

Stiles Stilinski | Teen Wolf | ota

[wolftamer_stilinski]

(( I'd like him as an omega, but I'm actually open to all roles! ))

[withmy_teeth]

[i'm only caught up to the end of s2, feel free to ignore if that's not ok.]

Masayoshi Hazama | Samurai Flamenco | OTA

[flamenred]

[Either beta or Omega. Any prompt is fine, but I would really love to explore a suppressant scene.]

Z.W.E.I. | Soul Calibur | OTA / Alpha

[wolfoftwoshadows]

[Slight M/M preference except for scenario #3, then OTA.]

Combination of 2/3/5?

[fecklessyouth]

[Most of the time, Terra can pass for an alpha. Or at least, people look at him and assume he is, and he doesn't bother to correct them. He feels weird about it - it's not like he's ashamed - but he has to admit it makes his life easier.

And then there are the other times. The times when no one with a sense of smell could possibly think him anything but an omega, when it takes all the willpower he possesses to get through what absolutely has to be done and get home, hoping he won't have to fight anyone off before he gets there. (Mostly he doesn't get that lucky, but mostly alphas don't expect omegas to fight back, let alone know what they're doing.)

Mostly, he doesn't run into alphas he already knows and was sort of interested in even before his heat hit. Terra grits his teeth and tries to convince himself he wants to stay a safe distance away.]

Hey.

Aoba Seragaki \\ Dramatical Murder // M/M

[abicycle]

[not fooling anyone, Aoboa here is an omega]

2?

[wolfoftwoshadows]

[Zwei is the sort of guy who keeps to himself. He doesn't much desire company and is content to live his everyday life without having anything to do with anyone else.

Of course, that all changes when the time comes. When Zwei finds himself more likely to head out on the town, to go driving, to go searching for someone with just the right scent.

It's getting late, but the moment he spots the young man walking by the street he can smell him through the rolled-down window. No question. And he'll know just who and what Zwei is when he pulls over and addresses him through the window.]

Hey man. Looking for somewhere to go?

David Posner | History Boys | M/M

[smallgayjew]

[Very much an omega.]

Clint Barton | MCU

[from_a_distance]

[Omega, likely on suppressants.]

Eddie Blake/The Comedian | Watchmen

[no_spelled_y_e_s]

[Definitely Alpha.]

[crimsonwiccan]

This was embarrassing. And dangerous. But right now, mostly embarrassing. Billy was still learning how to manage his heats, and some how he'd found himself stranded in public when it suddenly overcame him. He wasn't due for at least another few days, but it was hard to argue with his body right now.

He just needed to get off the streets before someone found him like this. He could deal with his inability to track when he didn't feel like he was going to burn up.

Nikola Tesla | Sanctuary

[ps_you_look_hot]

[Could play him Alpha or omega, though as an omega, he will be very not submissive.]

Billy Kaplan | Marvel Comics | M/M

[crimsonwiccan]

[Prefer him to be an omega.]

2 + 4

[nofeelings]

Come on, Kaplan.

[Tommy heaved a sigh as he stretched out on the other's bed, folding his arms and resting his chin on them.

He watched him move around the bedroom idly. They were, as far as he knew, by themselves for a while today -- none of the other guys were around and Billy's parents were out for the day.

He thought they were gonna go out or do something too. Though why Billy asked him of all people, he wasn't all that sure.]

What's the hold up? Thought you called me over here for a reason, not to just sit around, totally bored. Dude, if I wanted to just do nothing, I didn't need to come over, y'know.

Remy Lebeau | Marvel Comics | M/M

[streetwisecajun]

[Suppressed omega who plays the flirty Alpha.]

Hwoarang | Tekken | M/M

[punkkwando]

[Loudmouthed punk of an omega. Wishes he was Alpha. Open to all scenarios.]

[dosser]

[OOC: Would you be interested in 2 turning into 3? Hwoarang hit with a sudden heat and Starrk coming in to 'take care' of him? Play with the whole he wants to be an alpha but Starrk keeps reminding him he's an omega?]

Leanne | Fire Emblem | M/F

[song_princess]

[Stronger preference for her being omega but can also be a beta.]
