Alpha/Beta/Omega
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).
RESOURCES: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!
Fanlore on the Alpha/Beta/Omegaverse
Alphas, Betas and Omegas: A primer.
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!

He extends his claws in defense before turning around, ready to attack and that is when he is greeted with the sight of Peter. He retracted his claws with a slight roll of his eyes and looked at the water bottle, his water bottle in his hands, he looked at those hands and pictured many things and places he'd like those hands to go...he really had no boundaries in his current state...convenient huh Peter...?
"You. What are you doing back so soon?" He questioned, voice airy and slightly longing as he spoke.
no subject
He mock pouts at the boy when he can see his attacking state.
"My useless nephew isn't teaching you any manners." he sighed, holding the bottle up. "I can't visit my own pack?" It was still questionable that he was pack or not but he's not going to fuss over little details. And, just to taunt Isaac a little he took a sip as if he wouldn't know how much the boy would want ice cold water. It's not that he was that interested in amateur intercourse right now, especially with a Beta in heat, but he could never refuse cruel games. Well, for him they were just games, but others tended to call them 'cruel'. What was with that.
no subject
Isaac decides to lean against the counter and scowl with folded arms, looking the part of a moody cub. "What are you doing back anyway..." he asks. Willing to get his mind off of his current situation...he really didn't want Peter to listen to him get himself off.

"I'm feeling fine, just annoyed that someone took the last water bottle." He says deciding how to answer the next part. "Yes." He decides to say with a lick of his lips. There simple. It didnt let on to how much he wanted and needed the cool beverage. He stayed still, waiting for Peters next move...he's always been a crafty one.
no subject
"He's not here I guess I have to wait." he said at last, as if he would be annoyed. But he was far from it. He enjoyed this situation too much.
"This was the last one? Oh, I'm sorry. Here, take it, I only drank a little, there's plenty left for you." he sighed then holding out the bottle for Isaac but he wasn't moving an inch. If Isaac so badly wanted the bottle he had to go and take it.
no subject
Isaac froze. He didnt know what he should do. Peter was always up to something, even if it wasn't apparent at the time, but as Isaac thought about it, there should be no way that Peter would be aware of his current situation. Isaac took a tentative step forward and then another, his eyes locked on Peter in case of any sudden movements. A few moments later he was in front of the reborn wolf reaching for the delicious taunting bottle of water.
