neopoints 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).
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.
* 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!

Date: 2021-04-21 04:29 am (UTC)sometimes, when they're really lucky, they even get to visit.
she's carved a whole three days out of their schedule to see adam, while the other two do some old money activity that made blue want to tear her eyes out when it had even been mentioned. it seems like he's found his stride here, and it's something of a relief to see that for herself. she sits on her hotel bed with him and recounts stupid stories from their whimsical little road trip, and the two of them laugh, and it's nice.
except there's also this underlying...tension, that blue doesn't expect. she isn't going to bring it up at all, happy to write it off as exam stress, but he rubs at his temple for the third time in as many minutes and blue frowns. )
Are you alright? If today's not a good day, the guys aren't coming back for a few days. ( three days and a far too nice hotel room paid for by all that old money, despite her loudest of protests, before henry and gansey and that eco monstrosity roll back into town and pick her up again. ) You look...stressed.

Date: 2021-04-21 05:01 am (UTC)So he's not sure why since the moment he hugged her in greeting that he's feeling a pressure within that is unlike anything he has ever experienced. Or even what he could call it. Given the reaction of his body though he's embarrassed and hating on himself a little.
Or a lot.
Not that the surroundings are doing much for him. His first words in seeing the room had been to wonder, aloud, if they could have picked a more pretentious hotel. He's not sure they could.
So he let himself stew on that, making jokes about it, but the pressure within has been getting worse, and he isn't trying to hide how his nostrils keep flaring, acutely aware of how Blue smells spicy and sweet and sexy. But he's not supposed to be thinking about her like that. ]
No. No, it's a great day. I've missed you, Blue. That's all. I just...
[ He raises his gaze, staring at her for a minute. There's such raw, desperate hunger on his gaze in that moment, unable to hide how he's feeling about her, the hunger he's feeling for her in ways he's never felt before. ]
I don't feel right. I feel... on fire? Like... like everything about me is suddenly alive and I don't know why. I feel...
[ And in that moment realization hits him. Stories he's heard from others. He stares at her, stunned and utterly confused. ]
It can't be. I would have presented by now.

Date: 2021-04-21 07:30 am (UTC)no one has ever really been able to provide a reasonable explanation for why, but some of the time all blue seems to do is heighten everything and everyone around her. sometimes that's part of the appeal of blue specifically, much as it usually rubs her the wrong way. sometimes intense can be a good thing. and sometimes it's why she chooses not to go along to some weird event weighted heavily towards the alphas of high society.
adam, she thought, was a beta too. they all thought that, but now— )
You should have. This shouldn't be happening, we need to call someone.
( a doctor maybe, or gansey. blue frowns, and she doesn't think anything of it when she leans closer and presses the back of her hand to his forehead. there's a specific way of navigating contact with alphas that she's just never had to think about with adam.
until now, apparently. )
God. You're hot.

Date: 2021-04-22 05:06 am (UTC)It can't be happening. Besides who would we call? Maybe a doctor? I could be sick?
[ He has to be because that touch, the coolness of her hand on his skin and Adam can only think of one thing. All those thoughts he's had before about her, that they had solved and were part of their past.
Except that touch is enough to tell him she's his. Right here. Right now. In this god awful room of high count linen sheets and tiny once use bottles of shampoo that cost more than his bodywash for a month. She's his. ]
Blue...
[ His nostrils flare and he moves quickly, catch her wrist and using that hold to pull her closer to him. ]
Oh God. Blue.
[ The sound of her name is a growl, pained and needy and his bright gaze narrows, staring at her and trying to make sense of it all. ]
You should go. You need to go.
[ If he was stronger he would leave but there is nothing in him that could leave right now. Not with her there smelling sweet and spicy and sexy and so perfect for him. ]
