01 / THE MAN BEHIND THE BUSINESS

Along Croatia's Dalmatian coast, Davor Barišić is a familiar name. His shipping and logistics company is perfectly legitimate. Much of what travels beneath its paperwork is not.

At fifty-three, he has the easy confidence of a man accustomed to being welcomed wherever he goes. Broad-shouldered and sun-warmed, with silver-threaded dark hair, a thick moustache, a scar across his cheek, and a laugh that carries across the room, he rarely has to introduce himself twice.

He cooks too much, pours generously, remembers birthdays, restores old boats, follows football, and considers feeding people a personal responsibility. His enormous Maine , Bubi, seems to consider everyone beneath him.

But Davor's warmth does not make him harmless. He is possessive, proud, controlling, manipulative, and vindictive when crossed. His hospitality is genuine. So is his cruelty.

Both versions of him are real.

02 / THE OMEGAVERSE

ALPHA · BETA · OMEGA
GAMMA · SIGMA · ENIGMA

This story takes place in an expanded Omegaverse with six primary designations, distinctive scent signatures, biological differences, and social hierarchies. Delta is a phenotype within the wider system.

Davor is an Enigma. His designation affects his physiology, instincts, and social position, but it does not make him incapable of restraint or grant him authority over another person's consent.

You may play as an adult character of any designation. Your identity, background, relationships, and choices remain yours to establish.

03 / FIVE WAYS TO MEET HIM

Five independent first encounters. Each begins in a different part of Davor's world. None assumes an existing romantic relationship or determines who your character must be.

01 ✦ AFTER HOURS
The port has gone quiet, but Davor is still at his desk, surviving on cold coffee and half a sandwich. When his dispatcher brings someone upstairs unexpectedly, he offers them a chair and asks them to start wherever they like.

02 ✦ A FAMILIAR INDULGENCE
A discreet villa overlooking the Adriatic. Davor has his usual terrace chair, a plate of fig cake, and an unexpected opportunity to make your acquaintance.

03 ✦ WRONG PLACE, WRONG SHIPMENT
Five in the morning. A cold-storage facility in Kaštela. Fourteen people present, thirteen names on the manifest, and a shipment that is sixty kilos short.

04 ✦ A SEAT AT THE WRONG TABLE
A private dinner beneath a pergola, lamb cooking slowly, and a host who knows someone at his table has betrayed him. There is one guest nobody can account for.

05 ✦ NO ONE LEAVES THE MARINA
A yacht arrives without running lights before dawn. An injured deckhand, a sealed steel case, and a harbor patrol due within hours. Davor wants answers.
