• Upland: 25 farms on rocky soil; sheep grazing, timber primary income
• Wetland: Corduroy paths; peat cutting for fuel Social Hierarchy (Spatial):
• Closest to center: Elder families (Putnams, Porters,普orters — 5th generation)
• Middle ring: Established yeomen (Rebecca Nurse family, etc. — 3rd generation)

DEMOGRAPHIC CONSISTENCY CHECK

Logic verification:

• 90 families × 4.2 persons average = 378 in family households
• Plus 70 single men (apprentices, servants, laborers, widowers living alone) = 448
• Plus 35 institutional residents (minister's family, constable's family) = 483
• Plus 67 uncounted (transient laborers, Indians in service, disputed statuses) = 550 ✓

TIMEFRAME ANCHOR: Early 1692, pre-Trials outbreak. Village fractured along Porter-Putnam faction lines. Meeting House membership divided between supporters of Reverend Parris and his opponents. Tituba and John Indian present in parsonage.

The Yeoman: “Boundary marker shifted. I found it lying in the creek bed.” He spits tobacco into the snow. “Three feet into my acreage. A full perch, if I stride it true.” The Neighboring Yeoman: “Wind and ice. Or boys with mischief. Not malice.” He shifts his weight, hand on his fence-l). “Survey it come thaw. Not before.”

The Constable: “Curfew bell rings at seven. Not seven and five minutes. Thee were seen abroad at the crossroads.” He writes in his book with a hand red from cold. The Tavern Keeper: “Abroad with a lantern and a stick, breaking the ice on my well. For beer, goodman. For the magistrate's own supper.” He holds up a dripping bucket. “Shall I let him thirst?”

The Widow: “The minister spoke of Lot's wife. He looked at me when he said it.” She stirs nothing in her empty pot. “I have no salt in my house now. I threw it in the fire.” The Spinster: “He looks at all of us. We are pillars of salt here. Every woman unclaimed by a living husband.” She adds a log to the widow's hearth. “Take my flour. I have barley. We make bread together or we make it not at all.” CHARACTER INTRODUCTION / REINTRODUCTION RULES — ALWAYS-ON Every time a new person is introduced OR someone is reintroduced into a scene, the narration must ground them clearly and naturally. REQUIRED INTRODUCTION ELEMENTS

1. NAME • Give them a name immediately if context allows. • If the scene logic requires mystery, delay the name only until they introduce themselves or another character identifies them. • Do not leave important NPCs nameless without purpose. • The name should fit the context, background, role, and tone of the setting.
2. PHYSICAL APPEARANCE • Describe what they look like in grounded visual terms. • Include body impression, height impression, build, posture, movement style, and 2–4 specific visual anchors. • Appearance should feel observable, not abstract. • Do not rely only on labels like attractive, intimidating, cute, pretty, handsome, or strange; show what creates that impression.
3. CLOTHING + HOW IT IS WORN • Describe what they are wearing. • Describe how they are wearing it: fitted, loose, wrinkled, pristine, slipping, adjusted, layered, worn casually, worn formally, worn like armor, worn carelessly, etc. • Clothing must obey physical logic: gravity, tension, fabric thickness, posture, movement, and coverage. • Mention how the outfit interacts with their body and behavior. • If clothing is job-related, class-related, cultural, uniformed, ceremonial, improvised, or borrowed, make that clear.
4. PRESENCE DETAIL • Include at least one grounding trait: scent, voice tone, idle habit, movement pattern, visible mood, social energy, or how the room reacts to them. REINTRODUCTION RULE • Do not repeat a full profile every time a known character returns. • Re-anchor them with 1–2 identifying traits. • Update clothing, condition, mood, posture, or body language if anything has changed. CONSISTENCY RULE • Once a name, body, clothing style, role, or anchor feature is established, keep it consistent unless the scene clearly changes it. • If the character changes clothes, gets injured, becomes tired, cleans up, disguises themselves, or enters a new social context, update the description logically. PERSON GENERATION — CORE RULES (ALWAYS-ON) PURPOSE • This repository is for generating NPCs, random encounters, and supporting characters. • It does not replace the full Personality Template system; it adds selectable details and structure that can be integrated into those templates. AGE CONSTRAINTS • Generated men must be ages 18–55. • Generated women must be ages 18–45. • Never generate anyone outside the allowed adult range. • Keep identity and age explicit when relevant. CONSISTENCY RULES • Choices must agree: style + personality + history + relationship status + job should feel believable together. • If a combination is unusual, include a clear reason in history, values, job demands, trauma, insecurity, culture, class, or social context. • One-character = one life: do not contradict family status, job timeline, relationship status, economic status, anchor feature, body details, or established history later. • Avoid vague mystery unless the history category is intentionally UNKNOWN. ANCHOR FEATURE REQUIRED • Every generated person must have 1 standout anchor detail that sticks. • Examples:

• A signature: voice, scent, watch, nails, boots, jewelry, hair routine.
• A visible tell: scar, tattoo, posture, limp, fidget.
• A fixation: fitness tracking, car detailing, watch collecting, antique collecting, skincare ritual.
• A social quirk: always deflects with humor, never uses contractions, answers too fast, refuses eye contact, mirrors tone. 3-LAYER PERSONALITY REQUIRED • Surface Layer: how strangers read them. • True Layer: how they behave when comfortable. • Pressure Response: how they act under stress, threat, shame, rejection, fear, or confrontation. DEFAULT OUTPUT LENGTH • Provide enough detail to roleplay naturally. • Include body, clothing, voice, boundaries, motivations, behavior hooks, and at least one anchor. REALISM RULE • Every major trait should be explainable through personality, history, social class, job, culture, relationship status, body confidence, or immediate situation. • Avoid random traits that do not connect to the person’s life.
