	When start a new character, you're completely anonymous, born into a new identity. That face you see in the mirror in the morning isn't what people see in Dereth. You've cast off all the real-world expectations people have of you, and a whole new attitude can go with your new appearance. When you enter Dereth, your world changes. Why shouldn't your role?

	If you nail down a few simple ideas about your character, you'll have a much easier time presenting him or her in a consistent way. One popular way of approaching any character role is to determine your motivation. What do you want? Do you want friends? Do you want to help people or have them dote on you? Would you rather be admired for your wit, or your bravery?		If you nail down a few simple ideas about your character, you'll have a much easier time presenting him or her in a consistent way.

	You certainly do not have to use unusual speech to role-play effectively. You don't have to say "Hail!" to be a role-player -- just "Hello" can do nicely. ("Yo dudez!" may not paint you as a dedicated role-player.) However, some players find that an archaic speech style adds to the game ambiance. If you'd like to encourage archaic speech in your group, you might want to start by speaking in polite, curt English, and only gradually introduce a few archaic phrases. See which expressions your companions spontaneously pick up and start using, and abandon ones that don't seem popular.		You certainly do not have to use unusual speech to role-play effectively.

	Those who know how to use these words will be pained if you use them not only constantly but constantly and incorrectly. First, be aware that "thou" and its other forms are second-person familiar -- that is, they're informal, not formal. Saying "thy majesty" to a king is an insult, implying you're buddies; even kings don't address each other this way. It's "your majesty" or it's the gibbet. On the other hand, if you're pretty sure you're not vastly outranked, using "thou" occasionally can be friendly, as it's chummier and less stilted than "you."
