Somewhat related: exactly one of the groups of male friends I'm a member of has/had a very clear, completely self-appointed omega. This weirded me out; I think he thought he wasn't as smart as some of us, but he's hardly stupid (currently doing PhD research in engineering!) and a very nice guy.

Curious how different an omega and an Omega are.

We now have a clue about Omega's backstory.
