  "concept": "A Stratum Warden, the municipal grave surveyor whose oversized sealed record pack makes inherited burial claims a visible burden.",
  "silhouette": "A sturdy booted human with a large pale ceramic face guard, angular shoulder cape and an unmistakable record pack rising behind the head; a short iron measuring fork extends from one hand.",
  "details": "A dark horizontal eye slot, bronze civic seal at the chest, broad mineral-colored apron plates and a caged amber hip lamp; front, flank and rear all carry large readable shapes.",
  "value": "At zero the surveyor stands alert with a closed pack and lowered measuring fork; at one the record pack opens to show ochre claim tablets, shoulders stoop and the measuring arm rises to inspect, independently of walking.",
  "animation": "Slow breathing and a slight head search at rest; deliberate articulated heel-to-toe walking driven by travelSpeed, with a restrained counter-swing of the free arm and a gentle hip-lamp sway.",
  "variation": "Independent choices: short broad or tall narrow builds spanning 1.75–2.3 units; low wide-brim helmet, tall angular hood or ridged helmet; tall slab record case, paired cylindrical charter tubes or broad stepped archive box; differing fork widths, shoulder breadth, apron colors and one to three bronze rank tabs.",
  "colors": "Chalk ivory ceramic mask and armor over charcoal work clothes, ochre or muted mineral-green apron, black iron equipment, bronze seals and warm amber lamp; skin visible at neck and hands in several earthy shades."
