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, imprinting, breeding, mating rites, pack structures and potentially permanent psychic bonds with a mate. Omegaverse fiction typically focuses on wolf or other canid-like behavior in humans, especially as it pertains to sexual intercourse and sexuality, which is described as instinctual, responding to animalistic physiological stimuli. Omega ( Ω): submissive and gentle, calm and a peacemaker.Beta ( β): depending on the story, they are regular human beings, or have a mix of Alpha and Omega traits, or their own unique traits.Alpha ( α): socially (and in some interpretations, even biologically) dominant, physically built, short-tempered and a natural leader.It's usually chosen from one of the following, each of which also corresponds to some distinctive character traits: Its main peculiarity is that characters have two genders: a main one (male or female), decided by their external sexual organs, and a secondary one, that manifests during puberty, determined by their internal reproductive system. The Omegaverse has abstract premises for which it could be considered a fantasy genre according to the conventions established by Todorov, but the high specification of its characteristic elements suggests that it could also be considered a literary genre in itself. This hierarchy determines how people interact with one another in romantic, erotic and sexual contexts. Its premise is that a dominance hierarchy exists in humans, which are divided into dominant 'alphas', neutral 'betas', and submissive 'omegas'. Omegaverse, also known as A/B/O (an abbreviation for 'alpha/beta/omega'), is a subgenre of speculative erotic fiction, and originally a subgenre of erotic slash fan fiction.
