Hello! This is Dheynlii and welcome to the Guide to Omegaverse — It is a universe where humanity is divided into three secondary genders: Alphas, Betas, and Omegas. In this world, gender isn't just about male or female, but also about a person's biological role in society, reproduction, and instincts. Let's break down what these roles mean in our "The Last Omega Universe"
1. The Three Genders
Alphas (⍶)
Alphas are the dominant individuals in society. They are physically stronger and often take leadership roles. In this world, only males can be Alphas.
Role in Society: Alphas are known for their strength, leadership, and dominance. They often occupy high positions of power and influence.
Reproduction: Alphas can impregnate male or female Omegas and female Betas only.
Bonding: Alphas have a unique ability to form a lifelong bond with an Omega through a bond mark. This mark is placed on the Omega's neck during a moment of intense connection, usually during mating. Once bonded, the Alpha and Omega are connected for life.
Rut: Alphas experience a rut cycle—a period of heightened sexual drive that can be suppressed with special medication.
Betas (β)
Betas are the most neutral individuals in society. They do not have the intense instincts of Alphas or Omegas but can lead relatively normal lives.
Role in Society: Betas make up the largest portion of the population and tend to have more typical human experiences.
Reproduction: Betas can only reproduce if female and paired with an Alpha.
Bonding: Betas do not have the ability to form bond marks, but they can still form meaningful relationships with Alphas and Omegas.
Omegas (Ω)
Omegas are the most submissive of the three genders, but in this world, they also possess a unique power. Due to the events of the past, Omegas have become incredibly rare—thought to be extinct until the discovery of Sky, our protagonist.
Role in Society: In previous generations, Omegas were highly valued for their reproductive abilities, but now their rarity makes them almost mythical.
Reproduction: Both male and female Omegas can become pregnant, though their ability to reproduce is highly controlled.
Heat: Omegas experience a heat cycle, where their body goes through an intense need for mating. This can also be controlled with special medication, though the heat can be overwhelming when it hits.
Bonding: Omegas can bond with Alphas through the bond mark, forming a permanent connection with their Alpha partner.
2. Reproduction and Genetics
In this world, reproduction is a complex process, with outcomes determined by the partners' second genders. Here are the most common pairings and their probabilities for offspring:
Alpha Male + Female Beta: 50% Alpha Male, 50% Beta
Alpha Male + Male or Female Omega : 75% Alpha offspring, 25% Omega.
Beta (Male) + Female Omega : 95% Beta offspring, 5% Omega.
Omega (Male or Female) + Omega (Male or Female): No ability to have children, regardless of gender.
Reproduction
Reproduction in the Omegaverse depends heavily on secondary genders. Alphas have the ability to impregnate both male and female Omegas, as well as female Betas. Below is a breakdown of who can and cannot reproduce:
Can Reproduce:
Male Alpha x Male Omega
Male Alpha x Female Omega
Male Alpha x Female Beta
Male Beta x Female Beta
Male Beta x Female Omega
Cannot Reproduce:
Male Alpha x Male Alpha
Male Omega x Male Omega
Male Omega x Female Omega
Female Beta x Female Beta
Male Beta x Male Beta
Male Beta x Male Omega
3. Heat and Rut Cycles
In this world, both Alphas and Omegas experience biological cycles that influence their behavior and relationships.
Alpha Rut: Alphas enter a state called rut, where their libido spikes and they feel an overwhelming need to mate. This cycle can last for days and can be managed with suppressants. During this time, they seek an Omega partner to bond with, though not all Alphas experience rut in the same way. During their own rut cycle, they can also experience a heightened state of arousal and aggression, which is triggered by the presence of an Omega in heat. This can be suppressed by medicine as well.
Omega Heat: Omegas go through heat, a period of intense reproductive desire. It's a time when Omegas are most fertile and their bodies become incredibly sensitive. Heat can be managed with medication, but when it strikes, it is nearly impossible for an Omega to resist the pull toward an Alpha. During heat, an Omega's scent sweetens and deepens, becoming extremely enticing to nearby Alphas. Along with this, Omegas secrete a substance called "slick."
Slick: A semi-translucent, sweet-smelling fluid that acts as self-lubrication for Omegas during heat. It has a sweet taste and is an indicator of an Omega's fertility. Slick helps facilitate mating during heat and is a key part of Omega biology.
Scent Glands and Pheromones: Alphas and Omegas have scent glands, typically located on the neck or wrists, which release pheromones that play a crucial role in attraction. The scents released by these glands help signal an individual's secondary gender and emotional state.
Alpha Scent: Alphas emit a strong, dominant scent that is highly attractive to Omegas, particularly during an Omega's heat cycle. Their scent can induce calming or protective feelings in Omegas, depending on the circumstances.
Omega Scent: Omegas have a softer, sweeter scent. It intensifies during their heat cycles, which strongly attracts Alphas. Before and during heat, their pheromones become particularly potent, making them nearly irresistible to Alphas.
Heat Cycles and Pheromone Release: Omegas experience periodic heat cycles, where their body releases heightened pheromones, signaling fertility and readiness to mate. This heat cycle can be suppressed using special medication, but if not, it triggers intense physical and emotional needs.
4. Second Gender Discovery
At the age of 18, each individual goes through a self test to discover their second gender. Schools conduct mandatory testing to classify students as Alphas, Betas, or Omegas before they go to college. It is called SSG Medical Examination Day
Before graduation, schools provide students with a special second gender testing device or known as SSG Testing Device, which works similarly to a pregnancy test kit mashed up with blood glucose meter kit. This device is compact, about the size of a small phone, with a built-in medical system designed to read a student's blood and print their second gender result. The device comes with five small medical test papers, each able to accommodate a single drop of blood.
The process is straightforward:
The student places a drop of blood on one of the test papers. The test paper is then inserted into the device, which reads the blood sample and prints the result based on specific lines:
Two lines (red and blue): Beta
Two red lines: Alpha
Two blue lines: Omega
Students are allowed to run five tests to ensure accuracy in that device. Once confirmed, they must take their result to the hospital, where the information is officially recorded. Afterward, they receive a medical card that identifies their second gender.
This card not only serves as official documentation but also grants them certain benefits provided by the government, tailored to their gender—whether it's healthcare, special medications, or privileges aligned with their unique needs as Alphas, Betas, or Omegas.
Alphas manifest their dominance through increased physical strength and assertiveness.
Betas go through a relatively normal puberty.
Omegas develop sensitivity and emotional vulnerability during this time and begin experiencing their heat cycle once it's fully manifested.
5. The Extinction of Omegas
18 years ago, A deadly disease known as the Omega Virus nearly wiped out all Omegas. The virus targeted the omega gene, killing 98% of the population. The few surviving Omegas were hidden by the government, placed in secret research facilities. However, the government wasn't interested in protecting them—they used the Omegas for cruel experiments, trying to preserve the omega gene at any cost.
The Project Omega experiments led to the birth of Sky, the last omega of the generation. With the help of scientists, including his mother, Sky survived the extinction event, but the world believes Omegas no longer exist.
Society's View on Omegas: In this new generation, Omegas are considered extinct. The population now consists of mostly Betas and Alphas, with society having moved on from the idea of Omegas. This makes Sky's discovery as an Omega incredibly dangerous—both for him and for the world. His existence could bring back the power struggle between the genders and uncover the government's dark secrets.
