" All quiet over here squad leader...Heh Heh."
The human voice is an extremely sophisticated instrument. You, however, have been gifted with the equivalent of a Stradivarius and mini-Moog synthesizer all wrapped up into one. While others may have an interest in the arts of mimicry and ventriloquism. Your vocal abilities are far beyond the pale. You can make any sound the human voice is capable of producing and quite a few besides.
System: All rolls using Protean Voice come off of Performance but rely on different attributes. To create any sound that a human voice can make simply roll a straight Charisma+Performance roll. To create any sound that a human voice cannot create you must make a Stamina+performance roll. To exactly mimic another persons voice requires a Perception+performance roll with at least 3 successes. To indulge in a bit of ventriloquism requires a Dexterity+Performance roll (In order to properly "Throw" the voice and conceal lip movement. (Note that this option is open to other players as well but requires at least two successes on the roll.)
Botches on any of these rolls may damage the vocal chords for a day or two.(ST discretion)
Example: Kyodai is attempting to infiltrate an enemy installation. He finds a safe place and begins singing like an 8-year-old girl.(Cha+Perf) When the sentries come out to investigate he bounces "Her " voice all over the place (Dex+Perf) After puzzling them for a few moment while getting into position, he makes the sound of the 8-year-old girl being eaten by a flock of rabid storks. (Sta+Performance) Totally demoralized, the sentries begin to clutch together and before they know what's happening, Kyodai is among them slashing with his tanto. When the squad leader calls on the radio. Kyodai impersonates the sentries voice and moves in to create greater havoc.
