Welcome to an Omegaverse Wiki. This wiki is about possible biology, culture, and history of an omegaverse settings. There are no one canon answers for how the Omegaverse works. '''Feel free to add your own ideas if they are noticeably different! (But see the [[Template]] for guidelines!)'''

== What Is The Omegaverse? ==
The omegaverse is a fantasy universe where people have a "secondary" gender, called a [[dynamic]]. People go through [[puberty]] and have an Earth-like biological [[gender]] - '''male''', '''female''', or '''epicene''' - but also go through something called a [[presentation]] which affects their ability to reproduce and is related to their [[dynamic]] - '''alpha''', '''beta''', or '''omega'''. The Omegaverse is strongly tied to fanfiction - it originated in Supernatural fanfic, and is popular on sites like AO3.

== History ==
The in-universe [[history]] of the Omegaverse can vary wildly. In my version, dynamics first developed around 1500 BC in Central Asia. They spread to Europe by the mid-Roman Empire, and to the British Isles sometime before 500 AD. Since I'm mostly interested in the associated English language [[pronouns]], [[honorifics]], and other [[terminology]], my worldbuilding is mostly set in the British Isles, with minor references to France and Scandinavia.

== History (theotherwolfinsideyou)==
In theotherwolfinsideyou's version, a humanoid species evolved concurrently with homo sapiens, but from a common ancestor of wolves instead of apes. This species had alpha/omega genders instead of male/female, called homo beluinus. This species retained heat/rut cycles, scent glands, and more animalistic instincts. This species encountered homo sapiens and interbred with them, creating the modern omegaverse human species.

Other popular explanations are alien interference and spontaneous human evolution thanks to a dying population. Most omegaverse interpretations leave the creation of secondary genders unexplained.

== Culture ==
Another thing that can vary wildly is [[culture]]. The [[cultural role]]s of genders and dynamics, and the structure of [[families]] and [[relationships]], are all things worth exploring. Mine are probably a bit more different from Earth norms than most.

== Biology ==
[[biology|Biology]] studies things like [[anatomy]] and [[genetics]]. Clinical discussions of genitals here, so only read if you're comfortable with that!
