Assuming the entire galaxy hasn't adopted the Mid-West Anchorman accent by 3003, what Earth accents would you associate with which Legionnaire?

I've just made Apparition speak White South African - didn't like their politics, but I do like the accent.

M'onel sounds British, upper crust.

I'll bet some of our British members could come up with more accurate accents from the UK, based on the different regions.

Gates has a Russian accent.

Sensor sounds Arabic. Shikari sounds East Indian.

Brainiac 5 - I'm usually inclined to give him the old Oxbridge sound, but this time I think I'll make him sound German.

And R.J. - Texas, of course!

Someone should have that vocal reverb like the Visitors in V.

And maybe Imra would have a Bostonian/Kennedy accent.

Gates -- Scottish accent
Jo -- pure Keanu "dude" accent
Shikari -- Japanese accent
Ayla and Garth -- definitely mid-west
Brainiac -- upper class stiff British
Timberwolf -- Irish (I may have been influenced by Colin Farell on that one)
Tinya -- New England
Triad -- New Zealand
Cham -- North African

I'd give Chuck Taine a southern drawl. And Triad would sound Swedish.

Apparition talks with the kind of "faux-British 'cos were being all formal" accent that Princess Leia had in Star Wars

Gear is now Don Adams in my mind.

Darkseid has the voice he had on the Superfriends cartoon.

Please let this work, please let this work! (Ahem, I'm playing with Firebird.)

I think someone once suggested in a fanfic that Violet had an East European accent. I like that.

I keep thinnking of Brin as having a British Accent, but Irish works well, too.

Apparition might have an upper class Boston accent. (It would certainly suit her mother.)

Garth and Ayla- FARGO accent!
Imra-the perfect American broadcaster accent
Brainy- like a teen Dexter
Jo-like Deniro (you talkin' ta me?)
Winema and Tinya- Winema would be really annoying like the Nanny (Long Island style), but snotty, and Tinya's voice would be a refined version of the same. (Tinya would say to Jo, "Come 'ere yooo.")

I always imagined Jan and his fellow Trommites sounding Finnish, except I don't really know that Finnish sounds like.
