UNIVERSE LORE

There are two types of beings that cohabit in this world: humans and supernaturals. Due to a treaty signed many years ago, they have been living peacefully, helping each other. But not all humans know about the supernaturals, only the government and certain people know about them. 

Supernatural creatures

Supernatural creatures are beings that usually appear in fictional stories written by humans. Elves, merfolk, shapeshifters, demons, vampires, fae, and witches are some of them. They live together in packs or villas, but some of them like living in large cities, hiding their natures. Some live in harmony, having peace treaties between races and helping each other when they need it; but not all of them get along. 

Exotic creatures

Exotic creatures are supernatural beings of unique breeds that are in danger of extinction. They tend to have exotic and rare traits in their human and true supernatural forms. Being exotic means they are abused by greedy people. They are persecuted, kidnapped, and sold in illegal auctions to other different beings; including humans. Because of this, they often live in small towns, hiding their traits and true forms as they can.

POISONOUS SPECIES LORE

As animal traits are important parts of shifters, some of them tend to have poisonous characteristics depending on their species. The most poisonous species are reptiles, especially serpents. But not all of them have these characteristics, just certain types. Most of the venoms these shifters carry have antidotes, but some of them can be deadly. And some can even be healing, used to neutralize other kinds of venom. 

Serpent shifters remain hidden or live in secret for their safety, as some people try to hunt them down and use their venoms as weapons to hurt others. Identifying a serpent shifter can be easy as they have unique traits such as their hair color and their ever-present scales.

GENDER TYPES

Male and female are not the only gender identities in this world. Years ago, sub-genders were discovered: alphas, betas, and omegas. 

Alpha

Alpha’s are the most fertile beings, aside from the omegas. They are known to be dominant, stronger, bigger, and smarter than most people, an adaptation to the need to protect and provide for their packs. They enter a period of heightened sexual arousal called a rut, a period where they lose control and only act upon the need to procreate and breed their mates. Alphas are territorial and will be combative if threatened. They are also protective and possessive of their mates.

Beta

They are considered normal, they don’t have special traits like alphas and omegas. They can’t bond or enter into a heat/rut. Betas also have weaker pheromones and are less affected by scents. 

Omega

Omegas are considered to be the fertile counterpart of alphas, both females and males are capable to get pregnant. They are usually ethereal looking with beautiful and delicate features and tend to be weaker than alphas and betas. They enter a heightened period of libido and fertility called heat. For protection, unmated omegas are obliged to use collars around their necks. 

SUB GENDERS GLOSSARY

Heat

The heat is a period during the reproductive cycle when an omega is sexually receptive, signaling they are ready for mating and being bred. An omega goes into heat every month, lasting from 3 to 10 days depending on the environment the omega finds itself in.

Rut

A periodic and often annually recurring state for alphas, during which their behavior associated with the urge to breed is displayed. Usually, an alpha goes into a rut every three months or can be triggered by an omega’s heat.

Scent

Scents help identify what sub-gender someone is, you can tell if a person is of age or bonded just by their scent. Scent can affect or be affected by emotions. An omega’s scent can make an angry alpha calm down. Not all scents are the same.

Collars

Collars are accessories omegas use around their necks. It’s a method of protecting their nape from being accidentally marked by alphas.

Marking

Marking is when an Alpha bites the nape of its partner's neck, usually happens when the omega is in heat or during an alpha’s rut. 

Slick

Slick is a sticky and liquid substance. A natural lubricant that omegas produce regardless of gender.

Nest

Omegas create nests, usually filled with soft things and possessions from their loved ones, as a way to feel safe and secure. Entering or touching an omega’s nest without permission will cause the omega distress and some get aggressive.

Knotting

Knotting is when the base of an alpha’s penis swells while they are on rut to ensure fertilization of their partner.

FATED MATES

Fated mates are god/goddess-given mates, but sometimes they are difficult to find. The way to identify a fated mate is by their scent, a pleasant scent that makes them feel calm, something they like or love. Besides feeling an attraction, a pull, between the two of them. Fated bonds can only happen between alphas and omegas.

This story takes place in an imaginary town called Bramville, a small town surrounded by a forest. A town where humans and the supernatural live in harmony. Maybe more supernaturals than humans…
