Sit forward in your chair and speaka little bit louder when manifesting the aspectof the destroyer; sit back and think beforespeaking when manifesting the aspect of theancient; and make quick, darting movementswhen manifesting the aspect of the hunter.Develop one or two obvious idiosyncrasies thatonly surface when your character is manifestinga specific aspect.Language: Killoren make a great effort tospeak as those around them speak. Learningthe speaking styles as well as the languageof the humanoids they are with gives themgreater insight into the culture and attitudesof their friends.Roleplaying Application: Make it a point to pickup on the sayings and speaking rhythms of thoseyou are with.
