It's not really something that I think comes up with any great frequency, but accent is one of those things you might include on your wiki along with physical characteristics that may differ from your character model and such. I'd also think that if your accent was thicker, you'd be changing around the structure of your words appropriately. I've known some RPers that do this, and quite well!
It's difficult to describe something like that when it's more subtle though, particularly as a constant, with any sort of regularity. And for most RPers I don't think it matters a great deal what sort of accent they may have, so long as their words are able to be interpreted.
Like Eva has always meant to have kind of an airy voice with a slight Irish accent. Her father's accent was much thicker and this was more easily portrayed in his speech. But I guess I don't expect most other RPers to really have much of a regard for a character's accent beyond a passing reference given via wiki (which many people won't read) and such.
I don't know that this helps answer your question really. I do think it's totally fine to have an accent though - many of the NPC's clearly do - but portraying that may prove difficult, depending on how thick the accent.
