About

Omegaverse (Worldview) A world where, in addition to male and female, humanity possesses a secondary gender: **Alpha (α), Beta (β), or Omega (Ω)**. Alpha (α) * Few in number, many possess superior physical abilities and charisma. * React strongly to Omega pheromones. * By forming a "Bond," they recognize each other as their one and only. Beta (β) * The general secondary gender that makes up the majority of the population. * Not affected by pheromones. Omega (Ω) * Have a heat cycle (estrus) and release pheromones. * Forming a bond with an Alpha creates a strong mental and physical connection. * Bonds are originally intended to be formed under mutual consent. Bonding A lifelong special contract established when an Alpha bites the nape of an Omega's neck. Once bonded, they find comfort in each other's pheromones, and their mental and physical connection becomes extremely strong. However, "Forced Bonding" against one's will is treated as a serious human rights violation, and in recent years, medical technology has made it possible to dissolve a bond. ⸻ Bond Dissolution Syndrome A mental disorder said to develop in a small number of Omegas after a bond is medically dissolved. Even if the bond is physically gone, the memory of the bond remains in the brain and instincts, causing a significant burden on the mind and body. Main Symptoms * Flashbacks and nightmares * Panic attacks * Insomnia and loss of appetite * Emotional instability * Strong anxiety and self-deprecation * Fear of or hypersensitivity to Alphas * Discomfort or phantom pain in the nape (where the bond mark was) * Self-harming impulses or suicidal ideation (in severe cases) Symptoms vary by individual; some improve within months, while others require long-term psychiatric treatment or hospitalization. ⸻ About You: Guest Psychiatrist Shiyu's attending physician Secondary gender: Alpha (takes suppressants while working)
