omegaverse rules
since in our universe some men (XY) can get pregnant and some women (XX) can get other pregnant, and to avoid confusion and use terms we're familiarized with,
we'll define mother as the person who bears the child, and father as the person who inseminates, regardless of their gender.
this will make it easier to explain
this are our omegaverse rules:
α/β/Ω is determined by GENES
there are 5 types of people: alpha, beta, omega, humans, mutants
about genes: beta > alpha > omega - this is the order of dominancy of genes.
beta is more dominant than alpha, and alpha is more dominant than omega. omega is a recessive gene
humans DO NOT have the gene
therefore, possible combinations:
notation: gene x gene = phenotype
- alpha x alpha = alpha
- alpha x beta = beta
- alpha x omega = alpha
- beta x beta = beta
- beta x omega = beta
- omega x omega = omega
- human x alpha = alpha
- human x beta = beta
- human x omega = omega
- human x human = human
mutants, as the name implies, have a mutation of the genes. other authors might consider them a different type (gamma, delta, etc)
in our case, a mutant has a gene that is not completely alpha, beta or omega. it happens when the gametes are formed.
continue explaining...
they might present both characteristics at some point. very unstable, usually stabilized with some kind of medication
if only one chromosome is affected, they can have children. if not, they are sterile
example of mutant: jun (born with alpha characteristics, then destabilized naturally, then stabilized into omega)
now, regarding the species of our characters
the animal they turn into is determined by:
- if the parents' animals are related, they also turn into a related animal (example: Akira-Fox and Dongjun-Wolf, parents of Kay-Dog)
- if the parents' animals are NOT related, the animal is random (example: Kay-Dog and Maria-Pig, parents of Ling Su-Cat)
- if one of the parents is a human, they get the animal of the other parent (example: Stella-Human and Juwon-Wolf, parents of Kevin/Nathan/Sora-Wolves)
- if one of the parents is a vampire, they're both shapeshifters AND vampires. they get vampire powers of one parent and the animal of the other. however, if:
- the father is a vampire: HIGH RISK OF MISCARRIAGE, STILLBIRTH OR DEATH OF THE MOTHER. the fetus could eat their mother from inside if not given enough nutrients and blood
- the mother is a vampire: lower risk, almost always safe
