Diving into the Omegaverse in BL series? It's a world that's as complex as it is fascinating!

What is Omegaverse?

The Omegaverse is an alternate universe often featured in BL (Boys' Love) series, known for its unique social and biological structures. It's a place where traditional gender roles are reimagined, and societal dynamics are deeply intertwined with biological traits.

History

Originating in fanfiction and evolving from the BL, the Omegaverse gained popularity for its unique approach to gender and social dynamics. Authors and fans have expanded the concept, introducing variations like the six sub-sexes, each with specific societal roles and biological traits.

In this particular Omegaverse variation, there are three meta sexes and six sub-sexes, each with distinct characteristics:

Meta Sexes:

• Male: Traditionally, males produce sperm and cannot reproduce without the female egg. In this universe, male Omegas and Zetas also have female reproductive organs but are still considered male unless they identify as transgender.
• Female: Females produce eggs and cannot reproduce without male sperm. Like males, female Omegas and Zetas have reproductive organs of both sexes.
• Transgender: An umbrella term for individuals whose gender identity differs from the sex they were assigned at birth.

Sub-Sexes:

• Alpha: Known as the superior class, Alphas are typically dominant, protective, and often hold high-status jobs. Male Alphas cannot carry offspring, but female Alphas can, albeit with lower fertility rates.
• Beta: The most average and abundant, Betas lead relatively normal lives, not governed by instinct. Male Betas cannot become pregnant, and females have normal fertility rates.
• Omega: Omegas have the lowest social standing and are often mistreated. Both male and female Omegas can become pregnant, with males facing higher risks during childbirth.
• Delta: Second-highest in social ranking, Deltas are similar to Alphas in psychology but resemble Betas in appearance. Only female Deltas can give birth.
• Gamma: Known for being submissive and not experiencing intense heats. Gammas are similar to Omegas in physical characteristics. Male Gammas cannot become pregnant.
• Zeta: The rarest and most versatile sub-sex, Zetas can have characteristics of both Alphas and Omegas. Both male and female Zetas can impregnate and become pregnant.



What makes the Omegaverse truly stand out is its variability. Each author can interpret and mold the universe in their own way, leading to a rich diversity of stories and worlds within this fascinating genre.
