MY AU

No male or female—Everyone’s sex is either alpha or omega. They effectively replace male/female in our world.

As such, alphas are referred to with masculinising language, and omega are referred to with feminising language.

Betas are pups. All betas grow up to become alphas or omegas. In other words, “pup” and “beta” are interchangeable terms, just like kid and child. (Ex. “When I was a beta, I wanted to be an astronaut when I grew up.”)

A “Vae” (Pronounced “Vay”) is a beta who will grow into an omega. A “Tau” will grow into an alpha. E.g. Boy/man and Girl/woman -> Vae/omega and Tau/Alpha. (I based this off the Greek lettering system, since alpha, omega, and beta are all Greek letters. I figured it would make sense to have gendered terms for pups using Greek letters. Although I’m trying to find the Greek lettering that sounds the best. I like Tau, but I’m trying to find what sounds best for omega pups. Vae for now.

Vaes are referred to as daughters, and taus are referred to as sons.

Omegas typically have soft bodies, while alpha have more firm bodies.

The conventionally desired omega body type is effectively an hourglass figure, while alphas want that traditionally masculine frame. Of course, most people do not live up to that ideal. But it lends itself to a lot of other insecurity on both sides.

Still trying to figure out puberty stuff, but I think Betas go through the physiological changes starting at about 14-16 but the first cycle occurs at roughly age 18-20. Historically in many cultures, the first cycle (be it heat or rut) marked the official end of puberty and the beginning of adulthood. This is because, and many cultures, you were not considered a full fledged adult until you could procreate. As a general rule, no one can really reproduce before achieving full sexual maturity (Well, not without serious health issues.) Typically people achieve full sexual maturity by 22-ish, at the same time their brains are done developing. From then on, they’re considered young adults and the life cycle goes from there.

A lot of laws are built around this age: People can vote and drink legally at 22 (but of course people do it younger) and rent cars at 22, for example. Also, marriages under the age of 23 are prohibited. You can do 22 with parental consent. Generally, people are not considered full adults who can make their own decisions without parental consent until early 20s. In other words, the age of majority is early 20s. I’ll say 23 for now, but I’m workshopping it.

Also, this AU is based on our modern world with some added stuff. So characters are still subject to the same bureaucracy, ridiculous, hypocritical laws and policies, because it’s realistic and I want that in my AU. As I talk more about it, you’ll notice a lot of very infuriating things that go on, silly holdovers in terms of law and policy and procedure and red tape, and it’ll frustrate you like it does me, but I wanted to reflect the real world as best as I can, and the real world is messy and hypocritical and complex, so this AU world is, too.

Packs were a thing back in antiquity/the bronze age/ancient times but the nuclear family structure largely supplanted it. Of course, in certain remote areas on earth, You’ll still find packs. But they are virtually non-existent in the 21st century. As such, you won’t see them in my AU.

Could you elaborate more on RnB falling under Dancehall? I'm curious about that.

Omegaverse Music

Knot Rock- Alpha centric sex music about sexual relations with Omegas with hazy consent rules, mostly popular in the 1970s and 1980s but had chart success into the 1990s

Omega pop- fluffy, sugary, love and platitudes, bubblegum pop music made to appeal to unmated Omegas and beta females, popular from the late 90s onwards

Omega punk- heavy, hard hitting, tied heavily to Omega Rights Movements, although fairly recent affairs, the oldest bands being from the 80s, the songs are some of the few that emphasise consistent consent and the Omega POV

Soft Rock- a more alpha centric version of the progressive and fluffy songs of the 2000s, popularised by the “in the Heat of the Game” movies

Nova Dancehall- a more traditional reaction to Omega punk by traditionalist Omegas and more rarely Alphas

Knot Country- rough, rocky, but far more traditional in sound and message than Omega punk, Soft Rock, or even Knot Rock in some cases

Pub Rock- like Nova Dancehall, but for Alphas specifically, and older, being from the 70s originally, but revived in the 90s as a reaction to Omega punk and pop, but also as a kinder gentler Knot Rock

Novelty pop Rock- silly nonsense to entertain pups and Omegas, really popular in America in the 1950s and 60s, but mega popular elsewhere in the world throughout time, some getting more than one hit in certain places (like James Blunt’s creepy ass IRL, or Snow Patrol or the Proclaimers, who both got far more mileage than expected in their native UK than in the US, or even Bobby Darin, hit machine in America, forgotten everywhere else)

Y’all… are we just going to ignore hip-hop? Rap? R&B?  Latin music? Kpop? We’re going to pretend like omegaverse wouldn’t have that??

Omega rap - Omegas of colour/from lower-class background, making empowering music and breaking boundaries? Rapping about their experiences??

Latin trap - hot Alphas singing/rapping in Spanish?? Although there would probably still be a misogyny issue..
