First of all, I'd just like a shout-out from the local Tolkien enthusiests whether certain things concerning the bodies that maiar such as Gandalf, Saruman, Sauron and Melian used during their time on Middle Earth.

First, the general make up of their incarnations: what kind of body would the wizards or Sauron have :silicon based, fully human, or just a basic humanoid shell?

Secondly, the physiology of Maia in a biologically functional body: i.e. Melian, wife of Elu Thingol and mother of Luthien Tinuviel. In such a form, how much baseline human or Quendi physiology and brain chemistry would have to be altered to contain an ainur conciousness? Would it be any easier if most of the Valinor-related meories were locked away in the subconcious, only to be released in a trickle via dreams?

For that matter, could an ainur be inserted in a newly created humanoid embryo in lieu of an original soul, or is that breaking several of Erus' laws, written and non?

I'm asking this becaus my current major fanfiction project encorporates many or all of these ideas. Not to mention ambiguous orders from the extreme top being funneled through the Valar as concerns preperations for the very last battle with morgoth and all his armies, with preperations including hooking people up, weapons contracts, tech research, missions to find the first Maiar to explore the young world, and an ambiguous prophecy that sounds like it was written by a 13 year old fanbrat.

Is ANY of this possible, ethical or in character for the Valar based on textual evidence?

…Tadkeeta's a Narnian of Telmarine descent. Omicron, well, someone should be good at Dalek voices. Honesah's the only one I added to your list who is major enough to name, and for her accent it's up to you.

I do know that Zach and Sara (and their mini, Mr. Treehorn) come in at some point...at least, they were part of the thread. Not a massively massive part, but a decent chunk. If Sara ended up in the script I'd like to do her and whatever female part no one else wants. *shrug*

I can do a pretty decent American accent.

And if anyone else has claimed them, take them off them. They're my agents. My domain. Grrrrrrrrr.

I'll also be willing to do any miscellaneous agents and Stus, and any named agents and/or flowers left straggling afterwards.

I think I sent it to the right place. Was I meant to add '_' in the space ebtween the words, or was I meant to delete the spaces?

Another American male here, fairly normal American accent.

I thought it was hilarious. It was too ridiculous and ironic to be remotely offensive. {X D

*prods the people now gaping at her in horror* Come on, we all have to accept a little silliness sometimes, even within our favorite fandoms.

Dangit... if you people weren't actually being efficient and getting things done, I could get a microphone and at least do Jenni. As it is, I don't even know where I could get one where I am.

As for the boys, it's just as well if someone else does them. They don't really have accents, but I can tell you how they sound.

Nume is from not-quite-present-day America, possibly New England, but he won't tell me. He's also an adult. He speaks very precisely (no "yer" for your and you're, "wull" for well, and stuff like that), so he sounds a bit stiff and maybe even a little nasal. The pronunciation is the key thing, though.

Ilraen should sound average, even androgynous, and young. As it'll be thought-speak, he won't use contractions such as the ones in this sentence--he'll say every word.

And Jenni should have a warm, middle-ranged female voice. "Yer" and "wull" pronunciation should be avoided, but it's not a big deal.

~Neshomeh, who was counting on people to waffle with this project! ^_~

Foxglove would be Generic English Girl.

We know about Stormsong's dialect, he's pretty distinctive. English accent. Not sure how to describe how his actual voice would be. Sort of ... make it sound like he's about to start singing quietly even when he isn't.

Skyfire would again be English, but go for slightly more "proper" pronunciation than the Generic English Girl thing - Sky was a vermin horde subcaptain and I'm pretty sure she deliberately used perfect grammar and such to set herself apart from the rank and file whom she wasn't terribly fond of.

It usually has a voice recorder. It's not necessarily the best method, but it'll do if you can't find anything else.

(Not sure if he is; he was only conscious for a short time)
He has a standard American accent.

Do any agents have particular accents that need to be matched up? I know we need Brit males for Archer and Sabbat, but I'm not sure about others.

If your Agents need a specific accent, let me know. Otherwise, they'll be assigned randomly.

We could have him as one in a crowd, though. Your offer of contribution is much appreciated.

I can offer in an Australian Voice, and go as far to turn it into the Australian Drawl that the Crocodile Dundee and Steve Irwin are known for.
I can also offer up Agent Arti, since he'd have been around during the '08 Invasion. I'm sure he would have had great fun that day with the 'Sue Death Bingo.

'Kill a Sue with a Hammer.' Check
'Kill a Sue with a Sword.' Check
'Kill a Sue with another Agent.' *Promptly grabs another Agent and beats the 'Sue over the head with him / her.*

Oh, and I can offer up the ideas of 'Sue Death Bingo' and 'Bleepolate' if you need permission for those. Don't see why you would, but it's there.

C ya!

Cool, I'll send it over, so expect it in your Inbox pretty soon. Hmm, for this, I shall give... A sculpture of a Plover made out of Nm&Nms

Thanks Doc!

... I don't think my voice is quite right for her. (You've met me and heard my voice, yes?)

Stormsong is repeatedly described in VQ as having a very nice musical voice (not a Sueish one, his voice is actually good) so don't have him singing on screen because nobody we know could possibly be good enough ;)

Ack, sorry.

I'll get that up and to Cassie right quick.

;_;

I have no idea why not. Massive apologies. I will say, however, that the threads we are working from were originally put together by JulyFlame, so I will take this up with her.

On the other hand, your vocals offer is accepted with gratitude. :)

'cause M&S are permissified. And I can do Shadow, and maybe any random female agents or Sues. My English accent is...well...crap, so forget that.
