I could see Melinda playing Margaret (via flashbacks) or maybe Madge.

I wholeheartedly agree with this one.
Ditto, excellent choice there.

Not my first choice, but not bad at all.  Personally Id rather see Barrowman as a Wampire of some kind, but he's too pretty for me to go with as Marcone.
I could see him as Lord Raith.

Better make sure you've got a greater circle ready for containment.

You're very welcome. If you want me to provide a full sheet I can, I just need to know what neck deep is.

I'm not familiar with him, I'm afraid. I need more to go on.

The bibliomancy Sponsored Magic might be appropriate, though, and there's a guy in the Paranet Papers preview with book magic.

I'll have to check those out to see how similar they are, but here's a brief quote from The Ranting Dragon on Libriomancer's magic:
Isaac is a libriomancer with the power to pull things out of books. Now, there are some limitations to this, like you can only use a book so many times and whatever you use must be able to fit through the book (and living things tend to come out insane or as blank slates with a couple exceptions), but there’s still the fact that at one point Isaac fights with a lightsaber. For those who like well-defined magic systems, Hines has done a great job of fleshing it out while still leaving a lot of room to grow in future books. Everything is well thought out and clearly presented, and tailor-made for bookworms everywhere.

How about a libriomancer like Isaac Vainio?

Both are interesting. 

I feel like the first is similar to other things I've read about, but not personally read.  The magic dying thing (only to become resurgent) reminds me of something, but I can't think of what it is.  Maybe Eddings, or Wright?  I'm not sure.
 
There's a bit of a twist I've got in mind that I don't want to give away completely, but it's less magic dying out and more someone wiping out competition. >.>

The second is intriguing, as long as it doesn't become a Fullmetal Alchemist + Pirates of the Caribbean crossover.  Sometimes that works (Pokemon + Lost Legion = Alera), but the necessity of it being a pirate tail initially escapes me, other than explaining how they were found, and how they're being chased.  It seems like they could just as easily be buried in a desert, unearthed by grave robbers, and a band of different people must join together to stop them, and be sailed around by a pirate or privateer to find them.  Oh, and it can't end up too much like The Kingkiller Chronicles either. The Chandrian aren't exactly the seven deadly sins, but they're seven creepy doom-bringing beings that may or may not have been humans up until they became hosts to eternal aspects of darkness and evil.
The whole inspiration for this goes back to a song from one of my favorite bands (Flogging Molly) titled, "Seven Deadly Pirates, Seven Deadly Sins."  The title planted this idea at the back of my brain of this crew of pirates who actually embodied the sins.  Each would be prone to indulging in their sin and can inspire it in others, along with a few other abilities.  I've actually only seen a handful of Fullmetal Alchemist episodes so I might need to research that a bit to avoid copying it too much.

I'm starting out a bit late this year (College+Work=No time!) and I could use some input.  I'm debating between two ideas so I'm putting it up for a vote.  If you don't mind skimming the blurbs below I'd appreciate it.  Which do you think sounds more interesting?

Exemplars:
Tales tell that long ago the world of Eramat was home to fantastic races and beasts, mages of great power and long life, druids that were spoke with all manner of creature and the land itself, and many other strange and wonderful things. Then there was a great cataclysm, the details lost to time, and suddenly all the magic and wonder bled away. All that remains is the ever expanding Aralellan Empire of men, led by their beloved Empress of Light. The Empress is the latest descendent Arella, seemingly the last great sorceress, who brought together her people in their time of need and led them on to greatness.
There is a secret hidden however in the depths of history and few are what they first seem. Strange things begin happening in Eramat as the wild magic of the world begins to reassert itself. The Exemplars are being born, those who embody the great races of old, and they will have to learn just what happened to their predecessors centuries ago if they are to survive.

Seven Deadly Pirates:
Captain Brandt Garza and his crew set off in search of a rumor of treasure beyond imagining.  They yearned for silver, gold, and jewels, but what they will find is damnation.  Accidently releasing the demonic spirits of the Seven Deadly Sins of Man they are “rewarded” by becoming avatars for those same sins.  For a time the crew lose themselves to their respective sins looting and plundering as never before.  They discover their curse gives them powers they never could have imagined.  It won’t be long however before they learn the greater cost of their actions and of a great darkness rising in the world.  If the Sins cannot be imprisoned once more they will pave the way for Hell on Earth.  Can a group of scalawags and misfits inspire others to stand with them, defeat those controlled by the Sins, the demons themselves, and stop the devil in his tracks?

Ever since someone told me Liam Neeson as Morgan, I can't see anyone else.

Me too, I've been unable to see anyone else in this role since I heard this one.

My brilliant husband just came up with the most amazing casting choice for Marcone.  Dolph freakin' Lundgren!



I would think he fits Kincaid better myself.

Speaking of Harry, I recall a poll a long time ago (from an earlier iteration of this thread) that suggested Nathan Fillion was the best choice for Dresden. I dunno, Harry can be terrifying at times and Fillion has never really scared me (as talented as he is). Has Nathan ever played the villain in something?

I don't know about a villain, but Mal following Book's death was sure intimidating as heck.

And  I present you with ... Andi.



Who is this?  She looks familiar, but I can't quite seem to put a name to her...

Zoe Saldana doesnt work well for me, mostly because she is too...Mature? looking.  Not that at first that sounds like a bad thing, but the difference needs to be jarring, so Id go for somebody that has more of a baby-face, somebody that looks younger than their years.  And yes, somebody with dimples.  Saldana is a great actress, but doesnt have the look.  For her to work the old-Luccio would need to be extra-old by contrast, to the point were she may not be as believably formidable in a swordfight. 

BTW, I still say Jane Lynch would be perfect for old-Luccio.  As Joss Whedon once said, it's always good to cast comedians in serious roles, because comedy is the hard one.

Oh god.... Sgt Calhoun as Old Luccio?  That is PERFECT!  Now I'm picturing Old Luccio walking down a line of Wardens: "This is it, ladies! The kitten whispers and tickle fights end now!"  XD
