𝐅𝐀𝐍𝐅𝐈𝐂 𝐓𝐄𝐑𝐌𝐈𝐍𝐎𝐋𝐆𝐘 [1]

Omega (-verse)

Omega (-verse or Alpha/Beta/Omega (A/B/O) or Alpha/Omega)

Refers to a growing trope of AUs originated in kinkmemes in which characters can be Alphas (dominant males or females), Betas (ordinary working class), or Omegas (submissive males or females). Exact details vary, but similar themes of mating, heat cycles, knotting, and mpreg are fairly universal. May contain elements of BDSM or abuse, and are often generally high in kink factors. Omegas are frequently rarer in the population than Alphas or Betas, and thus often considered the bottom rung in the social hierarchy. Can often be written as an analogy for how women are treated in real life societies.
