Gyrre:
Dang! Sounds like a heck of an RP session.
I've been asking around about possible accents for Jiao-Long based on his appearance, and I've gotten a couple of answers for Slavic, a couple for Spanish, one for "gravelly Cockney", a western Baltic, and one for Russian. I'd like to throw in Nuatl just for the hell of it.
Any thoughts on what he might sound like?
Part of his backstory is that he got carried off by a nasty wind storm when he was little and deposited in the city where he grew up an urchin taised by another urchin a few years older than him.

Cockney is overdone, I'd probably do Scouse (although it'd take a serious Red Dwarf binge for me to get there). And the RP was great, and I'm glad that I don't have to do prep work for at least the next session. Outside of a TPK, nothing could go too wrong. I'm also glad that I have a group large enough that missing four players didn't force me to cancel (especially after spending my last $50 on ingredients for food and a day cooking).
Gyrre:
Jiao-Long is the guy in the sketch 4 posts up.
Scouse, correct me if I'm wrong, would be something Beatles-y, right?
EDIT: regardless of accent/dialect, he's definitely on the lower register being that he's 5'10" (170 cm). Like mid-low barritone to basso profundo (which I sadly can't do)[1].
[1] I'm a barritone, but I can do low alto to middle bass.
hedgie:
Beatles, or Lister from Red Dwarf
TheEvilDog:
Scouse accent can be difficult to do properly and without driving people cracked.
Just to give you an idea of what it can sound like. Also it tends to be a half octave higher than what you would normally expect.
Honestly, I would suggest the accent that's easiest on your throat and the one you can stay in character with.
