ARCHIVE PROVENANCE / WHAT WAS PRESERVED AND EXTENDED Edition Record

Prepared for this extended human-experience edition · October 2026

THE RECOVERED VISUAL SOURCE

The early illustrated source is saved as Society of Snake People: Earth Survival Field Guide — Field Edition 2026, a nineteen-page guide. It is the visual reference used here. The available source does not visibly identify itself as “Human Survival Field Guide Version 1.”

THE CURRENT CAST

Character names, eight pairings and established character prose were recovered from the 24 October 2026 character material and checked against the later supplied archive. Sixteen positions include Friend twice, deliberately yielding fifteen distinct figures.

THE ORIGINAL ILLUSTRATIONS

All seven distinct original figures have been reused as supplied: Energy Vampire, Human Leech, Wolf in Sheep’s Clothing, Venom Slinger, Shapeshifter, Yes Man and Friend. Their image bytes and original markings remain unchanged.

THE EIGHT COMPANION FIGURES

Wary Wallflower, Salt Sprayer, Clue Collector, Lie-Downer, Question Wrangler, Honest Heckler, Limb Looser and the One Armed Man are new illustrations. They use the original ivory, burgundy, lavender and gold palette, engraved botanical linework and dense roots, with opaque botanical garments.

THE EXTENDED WRITING

Human powers, eight capacities, paired scenes and dialogues, field experiments and practical lessons are editorial expansions. They stand on their own as reflection on human experience. The older “13 Human Lies” title and its eleven supplied headings are retained without inventing missing entries.

DESIGN AND READING

The parchment ground, serif headings, burgundy and gold rules, green practices, blush mirror boxes and archive ornaments follow the recovered design. EB Garamond and DejaVu Sans are embedded. A reflowable reading companion and editable source materials accompany this edition.

PRINT NOTE

The PDF uses US Letter portrait pages. Print at actual size or fit to the selected paper. The original illustrations retain their recovered resolution; this edition is composed for reading at book-page scale.

Published under the Society of Snake People project name. The archive’s historical claims, creatures and Replication Kernel are fictional lore; no genetic or diagnostic classification is proposed.
