Castes

Refers to the “sexual caste” that can be, being alpha, beta or omega. Everyone has a caste that will develop naturally with the arrival of puberty in their early teenage years, which is called presentation. This presentation can come hand in hand with different physiological changes and the appearance of the adult essence. Prior to this, children do not have caste or any kind of particularly strong essence.

Presentation

Period of time in which children show external signs of their caste. For omegas it is the period prior to their first heat, while for alphas it accommodates a small process of oral discomfort due to the maturation of their salivary glands.

Alphas

They are the ones at the top of the three genders. The alpha, whether male or female, has the ability to impregnate an omega, both male and female, because they have male sexual organs (internal in the case of alpha women) or external in alpha men (that is, the normal for them). They have a “heat” period that lasts about 1 to 4 days, during which they become very aggressive and tend to lose control when there is an Omega going through the same period. People at the top of the pyramid are strong, determined and possessive, especially with their partners.

Betas

Basically betas are the same as ordinary humans. Men have male reproductive organs and women have female reproductive organs, so only they can get pregnant. Their smells are the normal smells of humans, which they themselves can barely distinguish, since they are soft and inconspicuous compared to the smells of omegas or alphas. In short, they are “ordinary people” without any particular features. They do not release pheromones nor do they have a heat period. In this sense, the majority of the population is made up of betas.

Gammas

Gammas are considered “Defective Omegas” since, although they can get pregnant, they are at risk of dying if this happens. Their bodies cannot withstand pregnancy, so many times, they have spontaneous abortions and if they can continue the pregnancy, they could die at the time of childbirth. The days of heat in gammas are four to five days every two months. Gammas have a sweeter smell than an Omega, but they can hide their scent so that they look like Betas. They are also characterized by having a strong and rebellious character like the sigmas.

Doncel

In essence, they are a subgenus of the Omegas, but much more delicate. Their appearance is always androgynous...physically they areweak and small. Their special characteristic is that they are 100% fertile, they are at risk of pregnancy even outside of their heat.

Pureblood Alpha

Also known as “Hyper Alphas” are the result of the union of a couple of Alphas, resulting in an extremely dominant Alpha. They usually have very good physical characteristics, great height and muscles...they also have a difference in terms of their “zeal” with normal Alphas. Hyper Alphas have a heat called “Ruth” that can last 3 to 5 days, in which they become extremely aggressive.

Enigmas

These are recognized as a species even superior to their own Alphas are the result of a strange genetic mutation (which happens to a number less than 1% of the world's population) and their most special characteristic is that they are capable of changing "the gender" of normal Alphas, that is, a Enigma can turn an Alpha into an Omega if he appears several times with it.
