Alphas
ALPHAS
- They go into ruts at random times, though they can control them, unlike omegas, who have no choice
- Often will fight over an omega if there are multiple alphas and one omega (though in my story they all get along and have set rules for Peter's safety)
- They never stop growing (like an alligator), though they do reach a "peak size" (normally just under 7 feet tall/just over 2 meters tall), meaning that they also live forever. Alphas typically reach their peak size at around 70-90 years, though they do continue grow in small amounts every 10-15 years after that. Basically, the larger the alpha, the older they are
- They are immune to diseases, though they can be killed by being stabbed, lit on fire, etc. (basically they're invincible unless somebody murders them, and even then, they regenerate insanely fast so it is very hard to kill them)
- They often "govern" their villages. There is normally one male ruling over a small village or plot of land with many betas and one/few omegas living on it (my story has 6 alphas, one omega, and no betas living in a village though, which is very unusual)
- Despite being biologically immortal, they still have a very short lifespan (~70 years) due to many alphas being very poor rulers and the betas rioting against them and killing their alpha often
- Alphas typically only interact with their omega(s) when they are in a rut or the omega is in heat. They often will not marry or bond to their omega unless they are romantically interested in them, which is uncommon but is becoming more and more common as omegas who can afford suppressants are speaking up against unfair treatment
- Some alphas who are born into a village, when they are of age, will leave so that they aren't killed. They then either have to option to gather roaming betas and omegas and start their own villages, or submit to another alpha and join their village, living as a beta
- They are naturally very aggressive, though some (who typically allow omega rights in their area) do genuinely care about their omega(s) and treat them with kindness and respect
