### D-090: PC voice registers — smuggler and detective speech patterns
- **Date:** 2026-02-12
- **Decision:** Each playable character has a defined voice register for monologue and dialogue:
- **Smuggler:** Feeling-first. Sentence fragments. Concrete/physical vocabulary. Notices bodies, spaces, exits. Emotional baseline: wary comfort. Lies by omission. Relationship to authority: avoidance.
- **Detective:** Analysis-first. Complete sentences. Institutional vocabulary. Notices patterns, inconsistencies, procedural gaps. Emotional baseline: professional detachment. Lies by reframing. Relationship to authority: representative.
These registers govern all authored content per character (monologue pools per D-032, dialogue access per D-028).
- **Rationale:** Register differences must be architectural, not incidental. Without defined registers, authors default toward a single generic voice and the dual-lens effect (D-027 criterion 2) collapses. The registers encode the characters' relationships to the world, not just vocabulary preferences.

### D-092: Anchor line requirement in NPC style guide
- **Date:** 2026-02-12
- **Decision:** Every NPC at Tier 1 and Tier 2 depth must have anchor lines — signature phrases or verbal tics that make them instantly recognizable in text. Requirements: Tier 1 NPCs (THE FRIEND, key triangle members): minimum 2 anchor lines per arc phase. Tier 2 NPCs (triangle periphery): minimum 1 anchor line. Tier 3 NPCs (background): no anchor requirement, generic pool lines only. Anchor lines must be authored, never generated.
- **Rationale:** Anchor lines create the "I know that voice" moment on repeat encounters. Generation cannot produce this — generated lines are statistically average, not distinctively characteristic. The generation expansion pass (D-028) fills volume; anchor lines create identity.
