Major Spoilers ahead, so BEWARE!!!

I think this Venom vs Carnage fight really exemplifies how I think Alphas would fight in my setting.
Since Alpha/Beta/Omega in my setting an extra appendage on their back called an Akashi (meaning “red limb”) that gets ejected out of their backs ( like Kagunes from Tokyo Ghoul), that takes a different form depending on which dynamic you are. I already made a post about Alphas Akashi called the Bukishi (meaning “weapon limb”) here.
But the gist of it is that Alphas can shape the Akashi into any form they desire much like how the carnage symbiote forms different weapons out of his limbs. So I feel the way Carnage fights Venom is very similar to how Alphas would fight.

I get the appeal of having that one character who's the token "normie" and doesn't have as much weird quirks and interests compared to their friends, but I disagree with any ddlc "Everyone lives and is happy and hanging out together" au that makes Monika that friend. Let her be silly!
She has a bunch of weird skills and when asked about any of them she just goes "Oh yeah, my parents signed me up for classes when I was like, eleven." She likes cult classic movies and books and could rant about them for hours. She's very involved with social and politic issues and likes philosophy but never talks about any of this because she's scared to be seen as pretentious. She has a bunch of weirdly specific playlists and one of them is just songs from musicals, some of them being extremely obscure.
She likes games where you can build and take care of things, both for the relaxition and for the fun of playing god. She dissociates and overthinks a lot and one of the few things that calm her down is coffee, while milk and tea strangely make her more hyper and speed up her mind. She watches kid shows with silly "Be yourself, you're perfect just the way you are" messages when she's upset. She has a pinterest addiction.
She texts like a mom (cute emojis, not always understanding abreviations) and jokes like a dad (all her favorite jokes are puns from one of those joke books). She snorts when she laughs too hard. She doesn't know how to ride a bike. She owns a record player and prefers to listen to her music that way. She's a plant mom. She collects seashells, pressed flowers and wooden toys. She plays with legos. She needs glasses but refuses to wear them.
what am i doing
In omegaverse instead of having a sweet 16 what if we have a more like, coming of age thing ? It can be celebrated on your birthday if you want sure, but it's more a celebration of maturity and development and growth.
Like congratulations on presenting as a beta, here's all your beta family members here to give you gifts and give you hope for the future. Yeah, they'll tell you all about their shared experiences both bad and good about being a beta too don't worry.
I'm sure there are traditional gifts to give as well. Like maybe you're given some sort of how-to guide that covers all sorts of stuff both useful and silly, maybe you're given stuff that's scented by your entire family, maybe you're given your first set of protective clothing to cover scent glands, idk. I'm sure gifts would be different depending on which gender you're presenting as too.
Just some thoughts ig, feel free to add on if you want :3
Yes
While my version of the Omegaverse that I use in my fics and roleplays has the fundamental basics of the canon Omegaverse, there are several key additions and tweaks.
This post will be a work-in-progress, being updated as I think of other information that needs to be added.
Post under the cut.
Secondary Genders are the foundation of the Omegaverse. They dictate who is topping, who is bottoming, who has heats or ruts. There are three main Secondary Genders, which are Alpha, Beta, and Omega, but there are also other, less common ones, like Gamma or Delta.
List of most common second genders.
Here is some information about the main three Secondary Genders:
Alphas are the second most common Secondary Gender. Approximately 40% of the population are alphas. They are known for being natural leaders with predispositions towards violence, possessiveness, and aggression. However, a good alpha can also be an excellent provider and protector, caring deeply for their mate and/or pack.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF AN ALPHA:
Alphas are usually larger than betas or omegas. The average height is between 5’7 to 6’4, but this will vary from person to person.
In males, broad shoulders and traditionally “masculine” features are common, along with large hands and feet, strong jaws, and a naturally high level of testosterone.
In females, larger frames, narrower hips ( due to inability to become impregnated, therefore rendering null the need to have a pelvic bone wide enough for childbearing ), and thicker distribution of body hair is common. 99% of female alphas are born without a uterus and do not have a menstrual cycle.
FANGS/INCISORS:
Fangs, also known as incisors or “canine teeth,” are a prominent alpha feature, biologically designed for marking their territory ( omegas or other packmates ).
Alpha fangs are usually half an inch to an inch long, and are thicker than other teeth and sharp. The larger the fangs, the more appeal they have. Fang care is very culturally important, with all pups ( no matter their secondary gender ) being taught to thoroughly brush their fangs for at least twenty seconds longer than the rest of their teeth. Bright white fangs and sharper fangs are seen as desirable traits.
Some alphas, especially asexual, aromantic, or aro-ace individuals, may choose to have their fangs filed down by a dentist to show that they do not have an interest in relationships or dating.
KNOTS:
A knot is a thick circle of tissue at the base of an alpha’s member. When they are hard, that tissue inflates into a knot-like formation, biologically designed to be thrust past the rim of an omega’s hole to lock them together while the alpha ejectulates, to ensure that the omega’s body receives as much seed ( also known as cum, semen, ect ) as possible, raising the possibility that they become pregnant.
A common slang term for this is being “pupped up,” or bred, meaning that an omega has been claimed, mated, knotted, and then impregnated by their alpha.
Male alpha knots are usually between two to four inches in thickness. Female alphas, who have an inverted member ( but still fully functioning ) much like that of a male dog hidden within a sheath and will only appear when stimulated, usually have knots that are slightly smaller.
Female alphas may or may not have a vagina. Most commonly they will not, as it would lead to nowhere except in the 1% of female alphas who are born with a uterus, but biological variations have been documented in between 3-7% of the female alpha population.
RUTS:
Ruts are exclusive to alphas. They usually occur annually or bi-annually, often in the spring and fall. During this time, an alpha’s instincts drive them to mate and knot a partner, to breed and produce offspring with them.
Ruts last between 3 and 10 days. During this time, alphas will have raised libido and stamina. They may become increasingly agitated, to the point where they may give in to instincts altogether and become “rabid.” This is a slang term, and does not actually mean that they are diseased, but instead means that they pose a serious danger to any omegas in the area, and will be aggressive towards other alphas to the point of physical altercations.
However, ruts can also be triggered by an omega’s heat, or during bonding. More on all three subjects can be found below.
Rut suppressants are an OTC ( over-the-counter ) medicine used to control and prevent alphas ruts, especially ruts brought on from scenting an omega in heat.
An alpha on suppressants will be more mellow, cohabitate with omegas and other alphas better, and experience a lower libido and decreased instincts.
It is recommended by doctors that alphas go off of their suppressants at least once every four years to allow the body’s natural needs to be met. If an alpha suppresses their ruts for too long, they can suffer physical symptoms such as depression, mood swings, intense irritability, increased aggression, restlessness, along with an oversensitive member and body pain. The longer an alpha suppresses their ruts, the stronger their rut will be after they go off of their suppressants.
Alphas CANNOT fully mate with other alphas. Alpha-alpha relationships are not common, but not unheard of. Alpha-alpha relationships will never produce pups, as alphas are unable to become pregnant.
Alphas CAN fully mate with female betas, since female betas have a fully functioning uterus and vagina. Female betas have a low fertility rate but can still become pregnant. However, due to their lack of strong pheromones, female betas are not the most desired mate for an alpha.
Alphas CANNOT fully mate with a male betas, as male betas do not have a functioning vagina or uterus. Alphas who partner up or bond with male betas will not produce pups. Therefore, male betas and alphas do not often bond, but do often partner up for casual hookups to help unmated alphas through their ruts.
A pack is a group of two or more individuals that share a bond. This includes tight-knit friend groups, family groups, or polycules.
Not all friends are packmates. Pack is the strongest bond that can be shared between individuals who ARE NOT mated to each other. Mated individuals can still be part of a pack while retaining a special, separate bond with their partner.
Packs often live together, sharing food, rent, and sleeping space. Non-sexual intimacy is crucial for the pack bond to remain strong. Cuddles, hugs, kisses, and sharing beds and nests are all common practices among packs.
Packs often include siblings or relatives but do not have to. A person can and often is part of more than one pack at the same time. For example, a person may be a part of a family pack ( parents, siblings, and the individual ) and one to two friend packs. Usually a person will have one specific pack they are closest to.
Another common pack structure is that of the POLYCULE. This is where multiple individuals are mated to one another to form a pack like those made by wolves. It is in these packs that the PACK ALPHA is the most prominent figure.
The pack alpha is often the most senior alpha in a pack. They are entitled to control over the other pack members, but may be forced from their position by unanimous vote if they are abusing their power.
In a family pack, the pack alpha would be the oldest alpha relative. This may mean an alpha mother, alpha father, alpha grandparent, or eldest alpha sibling is the pack alpha.
In a friend pack, the pack alpha would be the alpha who had been in the friend group the longest, or the oldest alpha in the group.
In a polycule pack, the pack alpha would be the most dominant alpha. They would have the right to breed and mate all omegas in the polycule, as well as partner up with the betas in the polycule. The pack alpha may, in some polycules, also have intercourse with other alphas in the relationship.
HOW PACK ALPHAS ARE ESTABLISHED:
Pheromones:
Whichever alpha has the strongest pheromonal presence has a natural predisposition to be the dominant alpha in any situation or in a pack.
Pheromones are also known as “scent.” Every person has a scent based on their pheromones that communicates their mood and what their body is feeling. There is a distinct scent for a person who is sad, happy, angry, or anxious. Alphas and omegas have the strongest natural pheromonal scents.
Physical strength or seniority:
Whichever alpha is physically the strongest may be more likely to be a pack alpha. This will usually not apply if there are multiple younger alphas in their prime versus a senior alpha, as an older alpha will naturally hold a more authoritative presence.
Unanimous decision:
Oftentimes, an alpha will become the pack alpha simply because they have proven that they can protect and provide for their pack. An ideal pack alpha is firm but not harsh and possessive but not controlling. This is often the case in family packs.
For example, a family might have an alpha father and beta mother. They would have children, thus creating a pack. Because the father is the most senior alpha, he would be considered the pack alpha.
Another viable example would be a polycule with two alphas, two betas, and one omega. The pack alpha would be the one of the two alphas who is stronger, more dominant, and has a more prominent pheromonal presence. The pack alpha will likely “pup up” the omega, mate and bondmark the betas, and packmark and bondmark the other alpha. The other alpha may be allowed to also mate with the omega and betas, depending on the polycule’s personal decisions and consent.
Scent glands are one of the most important things to understand in the Omegaverse. Scent glands are small glands beneath the skin, often appearing as a bump or not at all, that produce pheromones and the unique “scent” of alphas, betas, and omegas.
( screenshot above is not mine )
Alphas usually have three scent glands, one on the nape of their neck and one on each of their inner thighs. They produce the “dominant” scent that alphas are known for, which allows them to force an omega, beta, or lesser-ranking alpha to submit to them ( both in a societal sense and for mating ). An alpha’s scent is extremely important to their omega ( if they are mated to one ). Their scent can calm their omega down in an instant and provides safety and security for their omega.
Omegas can have as few as two scent glands or as many as eight. The usual position for these glands are on the nape of their neck, one on each side of their neck, and one on each inner thighs, along with one on each inner wrist. They produce the “submissive” scent that omegas are known for, which naturally catches the attention of alphas. This scent is described as “sweet” or “alluring,” especially when an omega goes into heat, which is when their scent is the strongest and will be almost irresistible to an alpha and can cause any nearby alphas to go “rabid.” HERE is a post about nesting that is canon to my Omegaverse au ( not mine ). Omegas can produce a plethora of soothing scents, ranging from scents used to comfort pups or other distraught omegas, calm down an agitated alpha, or to self-soothe.
Betas often only have one scent gland at the nape of their neck and one on each wrist. Their scent is described as “weak” or “blank.” They produce very few pheromones except the ones used in secondary gender identification, marking them as a beta. They can also produce “safe scents” used to soothe an omega who has been upset by an alpha. Betas are like the gay best friend, in a way, comforting a person after a breakup.
PACK MARKS are not placed upon scent glands. They are bitten marks that show that a person is a part of a pack, completing the pack bond, and will only remain as long as the pack bond is strong. If the pack bond is too weak or the pack splits up, the mark will fade into a pale white scar instead of a pink mark.
BONDMARKS are placed upon scent glands. They are bitten marks to show that two individuals are mated and bonded to each other in partnership. If the bond becomes too weak, the mark will fade into a pale white scar instead of a pink mark.
A mating/partner bond is a deep connection between two individuals that partially connects their emotions, thoughts, and psyches. It can also be called a soul bond. It is said that bonding with the person you want to spend your life with is one of the single most fulfilling experiences a person will ever have. Emotions are at an all-time high, and both omegas and alphas have described it as finding their "missing piece." Bonding between an omega and beta, alpha and beta, or other less common secondary genders is less intense due to the beta's lack of pheromones and lessened instincts, but is still a very intimate affair.
Pack bonds are not so much finding a "missing piece" as a feeling of deep connection, comradery, and something "bigger than yourself." This will change in polycule packs, when the members are not only packmates but also bondmates.
Note:
If a bonded omega is neglected by their alpha, causing the bond to fade, the omega will suffer detrimental physical and mental effects, ranging from deep depression, low mood, intense anxiety, body pain, fevers, headaches, flu-like symptoms, low energy, increased nesting, and more. The longer the omega is neglected, the more serious the symptoms will become. Severe omega neglect can lead to death and is punishable by court-mandated couples counseling and even heavy jail time if the bond is broken.
Omegas are the third most common secondary gender. About 10% of the population are omegas.
Omegas are physically smaller, weaker, and more sensitive than alphas and betas. They get stereotyped as submissive stay-at-home spouses, but omegas actually have a wide span of individual personalities. Some omegas may be more prone to defensiveness due to instinctive fear of more dominant secondary genders, even coming off as snappy or aggressive. Other omegas fit a softer, more nurturing description, being good with pups and being naturally empathetic and companionable.
PHYSICAL DESCRIPTIONS OF AN OMEGA:
Male omegas are usually between 5’0 and 5’7, weighing roughly between 100–180 pounds. They usually have smaller builds than alphas and betas, though their body types may range from slender, trim, stocky, pudgy, or more. Big eyes and soft skin, as well as the traditional “sweet” omega scent are key ways to spot an omega. Male omegas also don’t produce as much testosterone as male betas or male alphas, leading to less muscle mass and gentler features. They can be extremely agile and fast due to low distribution of body fat.
Female omegas are usually between 4’9 and 5’5, weighing roughly between 100–190 pounds. They most commonly have small, curvy builds, small breasts, and wide hips to accommodate pups during childbirth. They have difficulty gaining muscle mass and usually have more body fat to naturally sustain them during pregnancy.
Like alphas, omegas have “fangs.” However, their fangs are much smaller, thinner, and more blunt, since they are only used for claiming bites after an alpha has already claimed and mated the omega. Some omegas won’t even use their fangs at all, since marking their alpha is not necessary for the bond to be completed. They will often use their fangs for small nibbles and nips, especially along the jawline or neck, to show affection, companionship, or possessiveness. This is common between both mates and friends.
HEATS:
Heats are exclusive to omegas. They usually occur annually or bi-annually, often in the spring and fall. During this time, an omega’s instincts drive them to mate and be knotted by a partner, to breed and produce offspring with them.
Heats last between 1 and 3 days. During this time, omegas will have an extremely raised libido. They may become agitated, defensive, clingy, or anxious. Heats are emotionally taxing both mentally and physically for omegas.
Further information about heats has sadly had to be removed due to the post being flagged. Google can provide further information, since my Omegaverse AU is compliant with canon Omegaverse heat info. Seriously, though, it’s not fair that people post things far more explicit than this and yet somehow this gets flagged???
Headcannons about ABO dynamics's Evolution during history? Something that really fascinantes me about the omegaverse is the biological aspect of It and the Evolution that the 'secondary sexes and dynamics may have experienced over the years. Did alphas, omegas and betas exist since the beginning of the human race? Or at first there were only beta men and women and the rest of the dynamics appeared later?
I like to imagine that originally only existed beta men and women, but at some point the human race was at such big risk of becoming extinct that the secondary alpha/omega dynamics appeared as a mechanism to guarantee a higher chance of reproduction. The capacity of impregnating and getting pregnant being independent from the first sex (man or woman) would allow communities to keep growing despite having a lack of men or women, because there would still be a certain percentage of Alpha women/ omega men that can impregnate/be pregnant and compensate the lack of biological men and women (If we asume that the possibilities of becoming Alpha, beta and omega are all the same)
happy monday!
I've seen it both ways, I prefer writing the "always been this way" style because honestly it makes it easier for me and i have less questions I have to muddle through in the worldbuilding journey.
Here's some of my considerations -
the beta loving community is strong! making betas = normal humans doesn't normally play well with that crowd. Of course, I never write things or refrain from writing things for the pleasure of other people, but still.
if there was an event that impacted fertility rates like that - what's the point of having betas at all? and beyond that does that mean all alphas men and/or amab? are all omegas women and/or afab?
If not - this turns into sort of two phenomenons, 1. being the hypersexuality and hyper-fertility and 2. this suggests biologically at some point teens might develop the genitalia and secondary sex characteristics normally biologically reserved for the opposite gender. With my very small knowledge of what life is like as an intersex individual, I doubt that society would suddenly jump on this train like it's the bee's knees. What then???
Human evolution moves slowly - there are several vestigial elements that are fading out of the genome everyday - like having wisdom teeth, appendix, and a specific type of ear muscle. What sort of event/situation could spark such a large scale change so quickly (even over hundreds of years)?
If it's an evolution thing, that suggests an in and out group. Who are the out-group and what if they're not too into the whole omegaverse thing? (again looping back to the question of betas). Is the in group then a different specie of human alltogether?
If the purpose of this is to get fertility rates up, logically it wouldn't be the first thing that occured. Polyamory would likely become more popular - especially men with multiple wives unfortunately. The human litter size might get bigger. It would become socially acceptable to have children younger - or maybe menopause would start getting later and later. Maybe both. Having children would also need to become a lot cheaper - and if your society is quasi-modern, people would likely need massive incentives if the situation really was that dire. Nobody wants to have a baby just for that baby to have to experience the end of the world.
Regardless of all these considerations above, for anyone interested in developing their own omegaverse rules - do consider a punnet square. If you don't just want to have alphas and omegas, there needs to be some combination of their genes that leads to a beta - or they'll simply cease to exist.
Fertility/population is a tricky thing to use as a fantasy mechanism because in the real world, declining birth rates can't usually be attributed to one single thing - normally it's a multitude of factors converging on one another. Of course, this is inherently a fantastical genre which gives us all the freedom to play and have a little fun making stuff up along the way.
[PT: Misceangelic and Auctoangelic Flags]
Misceangelic is a misceverse based around angels or angelic behaviors, and auctoangelic is a verse influenced by angelic behaviors. Misceverse is the top, auctoverse is the bottom.
No tag list :(
hehe
There is a belief that if Betas have a high interest in sex, they take Alpha/Omega’s mates.
There was a superstition that eating slick which Omegas make while in the heat increases fertility.
People are superstitious about broken canine. If your canine is broken, you will be dead soon.
The lucky animal in most countries is the wolf.
In addition to the superstition that taking a picture takes away your soul, if you put your scent on your picture, your body changes with the person in the picture.
People with the scent of flower blooming in winter are expected to live very healthy.
There is a saying that the flower language of a flower with the same scent as the person's scent shows the person's character.
etc etc
