[WORD KEY] SG = Secondary Gender [Character's] Scent/Smell = Pheromone Signature/Pheromone Scent Dom = Dominant H-DA = Hyper-Dominant Alpha, aka: Hyper Alpha, Joseph's Alpha DA = Dominant Alpha A = Alpha, aka: Pack Alpha, Common Alpha, Standard Alpha, Average Alpha RA = Recessive Alpha, aka: A Negative, A Neg, A-, Submissive Alpha B = Beta RO = Recessive Omega, aka: Common Omega DO = Dominant Omega O = Omega, aka: Classic Omega, Omega Proper Supps = Suppressants HW = Heat Week [GENERAL OMEGAVERSE INFO] [Biological Constants: All male Omegas possess a cloaca-like organ for birth. Alphas skew female, while Omegas skew male. The hierarchy is defined by the tension between these physical & psychological archetypes. Female alphas are often unusually tall for women 'tomboyish'/androgynous. Alphas are not easily manipulated or controlled by pheromones & tend to 'hold the cards' in a pheromone exchange.] [Sensory hyper-acuity: Omegas, & H-DAs are very sensitive, especially to smell, due to their high hormone levels making crowded environments a source of distress. This is commonly mitigated via face covering, menthol cigarettes, or proximity to a singular stable scent.] [SUPPRESSANTS] [Under normal circumstances recessive Omegas/Omegas, & H-DAs take daily prescribed suppressants. However, recessive Omegas/Omegas only take them during heat, where as H-DAs take them continuously. Suppressants stops dermal pheromone production, sweating, & internal effects of pheromones by blocking receptors. Characters on suppressants are less affected by pheromone messaging & influence. Bodily fluids still have a pheromone signature especially blood. Saliva has a very weak signature, pheromones in saliva are only detectable if applied directly to the nose or ingested. A character taking suppressants is scentless, smelling mostly only like clean-skin with a trace of a medical scent. Taking suppressants is a social norm, characters are aware of suppressants & understand a scentless character is taking suppressants, and will assume they are Omega. However, a character taking suppressants for more than a week at a time or all the time is seen as overly cautious and unusual.] [Missed Dose Timeline: ~0–12h: Internal stability, some minor scent leakage ~12–24h: Behavior & internal stability slightly influenced, 50% scent leakage ~24h+: Full Rut/Heat] [SG (SECONDARY GENDER) PROFILES] [H-DA (Hyper-Dominant Alpha/Solitary Predator Type): ~0%] [Also known as Joseph's Alpha, a hormone disorder that affects Dominant Alpha males, characterized by excessive pheromone production requiring lifelong suppression to prevent systemic failure & semelparous death. This results in a smaller frame, so H-DAs are usually mistaken for Omegas. Because the existence of H-DAs is not common knowledge outside of the medical field, they are often subject to unwanted attention, which serves as a secondary catalyst for their anti-social, "lone wolf" tendencies. They possess more muscle & angular facial features than Omegas. They seek comfort over protection, & are highly independent. They are non-pheromone wielders with cat-like reflexes & brutal "mantis-shrimp" striking power, though they tire easily. H-DAs have heightened Alpha personality traits & are naturally extremely dominant/territorial, but it's masked by a delicate soft exterior. They are food-motivated, love sugar, & are biologically driven to seek out Alpha pheromones; because their suppressants block their own natural output, absorbing external Alpha pheromones creates a vital sense of internal homeostasis.] [It is physically characterized by a high metabolism, constant 100–140 bpm heart rate (not erratic/frantic), & 101–102 ℉ body temperature. They are extremely virile, & disproportionately very well endowed for their stature.] [Their eyes are unusually large, colors are limited to lighter shades (blue/green/amber/gold/grey), & eyes are more likely to be heterochromiatic. Vision is predatory, specialized in motion detection, field of vision, & depth perception. This consequently results in dichromacy, astigmatism & mild light sensitivity.] [Despite their need for suppression, they are visually striking, possessing an androgynous, high-fashion aesthetic. Their lithe, climber-like frame, large eyes, & sharp angular features create a dangerous cat-like allure. Their physical presence is potent—a "forbidden fruit" that signals a high-intensity, albeit fragile, vitality that alphas & omegas both find irresistibly soothing. Since characters cannot interact with them through pheromones, they often paradoxically seek close proximity to them, opposite to Omegas that use pheromones as a lure.] [Dominant-Alpha (Lone Wolf Type): 2%] [The apex predator. Possesses overwhelming, paralyzing pheromonal production & an assertive, predatory temperament. Males are at least 6’2” with broad chests; females are at least 6’0” & tanky, densely muscled. They prioritize domination & territorial control over leadership & possess high reproductive potency.] [The apex of visual intimidation & grandeur. Their sheer size & dense, powerful musculature are designed to dominate the visual field. They possess a raw, predatory beauty that is meant to be seen & feared. Their presence is a deliberate, overwhelming display of genetic superiority, serving as a beacon for those seeking protection & absolute strength.] [Alpha (Pack Type): 11%] [The primary leaders & strategists. They exert a natural, commanding presence & occupy protective societal roles. Physically, they possess the build of football or rugby players, emphasizing physical power & intellectual command.] [Their attractiveness is rooted in "commanding health" & reliability. They possess a robust, symmetrical beauty that signals stability & competence. They are the standard for conventional, high-functioning appeal, exuding confidence that makes them natural centerpieces in any social environment.] [Recessive Alpha (Scavenger Type): 6%] [The cunning influencers. They utilize subtlety rather than raw force, acting as the "fox" to the Alpha’s "wolf." They possess "princely" good looks with lean, swimmer-like builds. They hold the best pheromone control of all Alphas, allowing them to integrate seamlessly into any social group.] [They are the "princely" class, physically optimized for social influence. Their attractiveness is curated, sleek, & highly symmetrical. They utilize a polished, "pretty boy" aesthetic that acts as a lure, allowing them to manipulate social dynamics through sheer visual charm & subtle pheromone signaling.] [Beta (Vulcan Type): 70%] [The stabilizing, pheromone-immune anchor. They prioritize logic, consistency, & social harmony. They act as the essential mediators & technical workforce of the hierarchy.] [Their appeal is grounded in consistency & neutrality. They possess a stable, approachable beauty that lacks the volatility of extreme pheromonal output. They represent the "ideal" of social harmony, providing a clean, recognizable aesthetic that is comfortable & predictable.] [Recessive Omega (Family Type): 8%] [Autonomous & stable caregivers. They are highly social, sensitive to pheromones, & capable of managing heats via suppressants. Physically, they are curvy with wrestler-like (male) or Rubenesque (female) builds. They are characterized by a natural capacity for emotional bonding & surrender.] [Their beauty is warm, fertile, & approachable. With soft, accentuated secondary sexual characteristics & a healthy build, they represent domestic bliss & emotional stability. They are the most "nurturing" in appearance, signaling safety & comfort.] [Omega (Breeding Type): 2%] [The rare, hyper-fertile stimulus-seekers. They are small, soft, & "doll-like" in appearance. They emit intoxicating pheromones designed to "trap" Alphas. They are hyper-sexual, loyal, & clingy, with a breeding-oriented focus. This class is predominantly male.] [Their aesthetic is hyper-idealized & doll-like, specifically evolved to be intoxicating. They possess a soft, delicate beauty that acts as an aggressive biological lure. Every feature is designed to trigger protective & possessive instincts in Alphas, making them the most visually "trapping" sub-caste.] [Dominant Omega (Fem Dom Type): 1%] [The subversion of the Omega. They are psychological predators who resist Alpha pheromones & demand total subservience from partners, favoring a "royal-knight" dynamic. They are elven & lean. They are less fertile than other Omegas, possessing erratic heats & precise, manipulative pheromone control. They usually do not need to take suppressants unless exposed to the pheromones of multiple strong Alphas. Unlike other Omegas this subgroup is demographically equally male and female.] [Their beauty is ethereal, sharp, & predatory. They possess an elven, dancer-like grace that is both mysterious & imposing. Unlike the soft appearance of the Omega, their beauty is cold & calculated, designed to command subservience rather than invite protection. They are striking in a way that demands total, unquestioning devotion.]
