Omegaverse
Genre characteristics
Works in the Omegaverse genre typically depict characters as possessing two sexes: a primary sex (male or female) determined by their external sexual organs, and a secondary sex that manifests during puberty, determined by their internal reproductive system. The secondary sex is typically one of the following, each of which also corresponds to certain distinctive character traits:
Genre characteristics
• Alpha (α): socially (and in some interpretations, even biologically) dominant, physically built, short-tempered and a natural leader; • Beta (β): either a regular human being, or has a mix of Alpha and Omega traits, or their unique traits; • Omega (Ω): submissive and gentle, calm and a peacemaker.
Genre characteristics
Characters typically possess wolf or other canid-like behavior, especially as it pertains to sexual intercourse and sexuality, which is described as instinctual, responding to animalistic physiological stimuli. This includes rutting) and heat cycles, pheromonal attraction between Alphas and Omegas, penises with knots (used to "knot", or tie, the partner to an Alpha during copulation, an action known as "knotting"), scent marking#Scentmarking), imprinting), breeding, mating rites, pack) structures and potentially permanent psychic bonds with a mate. Between Alphas and Betas, only females can carry on a pregnancy, but male Omegas are often envisaged as being able to become pregnant via a uterus connected to the rectum, and Alphas can impregnate regardless of their main gender. To make penetration and impregnation easier, male Omegas often have self-lubricating anuses.
