Both Acheron and Hades pronounce all N's as if there were two of them. Hades has a hiss to its voice, while Acheron is monotone when sec, female in tune when medical or janitor, and slightly similar to Robi the robot when engineering. Service is relatively boring in voice, sounding like the robotics fabricator voice.

Ty has a New Yorker accent, stemming from living on colonial ships all his life. The different amount of people from all across the galaxy led to most of those ships being cultural mixing pots of accents not unlike the Old New York.

Swiss isint a particular accent...
Mostly because there is no "Swiss" language...
But I do understand what you mean.
For my part, Owen has a generic Bostonian accent. And a speech impediment that makes him sound vaguely British...

Oddly enough I have no idea what Kaine sounds like. But I wouldn't imagine him having a distinct cultural accent.
Do any of your characters have any quirks or unique and distinct characteristics that could allow the crew to realize that changling impersonating you /isn't/ your lovable character?

Besides Owen's constant yelling about SOPs, Space Law and his dislike of killing, or even harming people (most of the time), nope.

Dora never smokes or drinks. She uses lots of exclamation points. She rarely swears.
Ryker is the exact opposite. If he isn't smoking, drinking, swearing, or stating everything he says, there's something wrong.
If you ever see either of my characters typing in all lowercase and making really shitty spelling mistakes that aren't past the believable mistake threshold, it's either a ling or I'm having a stroke at my computer.

If you had to place your character in the modern day, and give them a modern day job, what would it be?
August would just be a CEO of a construction company/industrial megacorporation/successful restaurant chain, same as he is in the future.
Some things don't need changing I guess.

Rigel's actually fairly wealthy, But he hate's to consider himself rich. He earned a large constant sum of cash off of the creation and maintenance of a few A.I''s, Along with a few smaller contributions.

His businesses produced everything. He was nearly unstoppable, had it not been for those pesky McCoy twins foiling his evil schemes!
Though in the Spessmen lore August is just a trillionaire with a few successful companies, nothing special.
