[QUOTE="Mark1733, post: 4795663, member: 83142"] THANKS EVERYONE!!! I didn't expect so very many great ideas and comments. I must say, that all the posts gave me something to consider doing. The ideas that made be laugh were: Chistopher Walken--(Kevin Spacey hosted SNL and did a skit with several imitations of unseen Star Wars auditions, including Christopher Walken as Han Solo and Richard Dreyfuss as C3PO). "You mean...you never heard of The Mill-enium Falcon?" Captain Kirk--same thing...it is just a rhythm and syllable-stress thing The orc pirate as Mike Tyson. I think it is not so much the accents that I need, but more of some way to make my character more memorable as the character rather than sounding like me all the time. I think the ideas that focused on behaviors rather than accents would serve me well in this instance. When I played a halfing thief--I totally tried to sound like Bilbo Baggins from Rankin & Bass's animated movie -- The Hobbit. That fit the bill rather easily. He was also comedic relief. For my current character, I think gestures, catchy phrases, curses, exclamations etc are good defining behaviors. He is a serious, slightly chaotic sorcerer who is searching for his murderous wizard brother. I can't try to pull off a comedic tone. I think the serious and determined nature of this character is what has me feeling limited, since I am normally a punster. Also, I just got a cloak with Chaos symbols on it. If these have some unknown effect to make me even more chaotic (btw, that is just my suggestion; not what the cloak does), what might be some of the behaviors and speaking patterns/voices that can get this character better defined? Let's summarize my character again: Half-elf sorcerer. Brother became evil wizard and murdered father with miniature clockworks. Now looks for evil wizard brother who is much more powerfull at this time. How about something cocky to say at the slightest hint of confrontation, such as "Please, tempt/test my abilities."
