Though the economics and of the Federation place no value in financial gain or assets, money is still used in the form of latinum, and the Wilde family come from 'old money' and ancient English peerage. As such they come from ancestral 'high society' and are, as Regan describes it, "obscenely rich". Latinum played a big part of Regan's childhood, and gained him a reputation for being a spoiled brat. He hates this aspect to his personality and tries hard to get away from it. When he cut ties with his father he rejected the Wilde upbringing and now lives a more modest, independent life and is generous with the wealth he has. | Though the economics and of the Federation place no value in financial gain or assets, money is still used in the form of latinum, and the Wilde family come from 'old money' and ancient English peerage.

Over the course of his life he has had many adventures and career options, a so-called 'Jack of All Trades' and usually has a few stories to tell. He was once a fashion model on Betazed. He served as a junior sales negotiator to a Ferengi business owner. He once worked as a porter in the most luxurious hotel on Risa. | Over the course of his life he has had many adventures and career options, a so-called 'Jack of All Trades' and usually has a few stories to tell.

He has a twin sister, Roxanne (Roxy) Wilde, who is considered the more headstrong and boisterous of the two. Roxy is a risk taker, and the two enjoy a healthy sibling rivalry. They weren't that close growing up, and they each thought they'd take very different paths when they were older. It was through his breakdown they bonded, Roxy never leaving his side in hospital, and the two became inseparable. She is also his biggest critic and won't hesitate to bring him down a peg or two to help. She is currently an Engineer in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers and graduated five years ahead of Regan. | He has a twin sister, Roxanne (Roxy) Wilde, who is considered the more headstrong and boisterous of the two.

'''Battle with Alcoholism''' | '''Battle with Alcoholism''' | ||
The pressure of being at the | The pressure of being at the academy, combined with many years of guilt and self-loathing took a devastating toll on Regan's mental health. To cope with daily life he began neglecting his studies to go to campus parties and have a good time. He started drinking in his second year, and by the first semester of his third year it developed into a serious problem and he began drinking daily and in secret to the point where he depended on the alcohol to get him through the day. When he washed out of the Academy in 2391 he disappeared and not much is known about his time away from Earth. He was found nine months later on a distant planet, Lakata (A rough and dangerous planet on the bad side of Ferengi space), after a painstaking search by his family. Eventually, though extensive counselling and other medical treatments he has been clean and sober since 2392, and after his family used a lot of their influence in Starfleet, he was allowed back into Starfleet Academy in 2393. It is revealed in his crew physical by Ensign Sivok that Starfleet Command placed a caveat on his return, and he had to pass a mandatory substance test in order to retain his commission once he graduated. | ||
'''Lakata''' | |||
Regan very rarely talks about Lakata, only that he ended up there after he was thrown out of the academy by stowing away on a refugee transport. The planet itself is a rough and mostly lawless planet governed with little attention by the Ferengi Alliance, but mostly by criminal gangs. There, while intoxicated with anything he could buy or steal, Regan had to fend for himself living on the dangerous streets and was often brutalised and assaulted by different street gangs and Ferengi administrators as he tried to survive. In 2392 he was located by his family and an extraction from the planet was made whereby he was sent immediately into therapy and rehab. | |||
