Danny Wilde: Difference between revisions

Danny Wilde is considered by some to be an enigma character. He is charming and sophisticated, and a friend to everyone, yet can be proud and secret at other times. Originally the Casanova of the Independence due to his many flirtations, he is now more commonly known as one of the Ithassa Regions pranksters. He is famed for his friendly, informal style of Command, but if the need arises, he will step up to the challenge to defend Starfleets and the Federations principles. He balances his serious side with a humorous, practical-joker side which people often don't believe true. Before his joining of [[StarFleet Intelligence|Starfleet Intelligence]], he was often the ship's stick-in-the-mud, but has changed drastically over time. He attributes his tenure as a spy combined with his long-term relationship with Idril Mar to be the key things that mellowed him out. He has an intense fear of the Romulan species. For one week he was held prisoner and tortured on the Romulan Prison Ship 'Torval'. He is extremely proud of his English heritage, and claims he can trace his lineage back to the 12th Century and also states that the Wilde's were as important in history as the Picard's and the Smith's. He is a lover of ceremony and celebration, and relishes the chance to throw on his dress whites and organise parties for the crew. He enjoys the visit of high ranking Starfleet officers, and claims that "the food and drink is better" than it is for regular officers, for which he gets a reputation for being a bit of a snob. He considers his best friend and partner in mischief to be Lt.Commander [[Brice, Ethan|Ethan Brice]], and considers [[Devar, Alana|Alana Devar]], [[Kirov, Johnathan Ivanov|John Kirov]], [[Zaahn, Caleb|Caleb Zaahn]] to be his friends from the Academy. John Kirov named one of his children after Danny Wilde. He considers his one-time mentor to be the legendary [[Kelray, Jack E.|Jack Kelray]], a former SFI trainer. It was during Danny's training that Jack took off and left him to fend for himself. They re-united on DS17 a few years later. Danny, and several others of his closest friends, including [[Walker, Benjamin J.|Ben Walker]], [[Brice, Ethan|Ethan Brice]], [[Brice, Karynn Ehlanii|Karynn Brice]], [[Thelev, Jhen|Jhen Thelev]], and [[Rogers, William|Will Rogers]] have tattoo's which they got when drunk on Danny's stag night. The tattoo says "The Brethren of the Ronin", and is located on the right shoulder. It was later revealed that under the influence of too much alcohol, Jhen Thelev had a second tattoo on his behind.

Danny joined Stafleet Academy in 2374, taking an interest in security and tactical courses. As well as these subjects for his finals, he also took a slight personal interest in Basic Medicine and Temporal Mechanics. In his final year he almost failed his entire year because of the Final Engineering Exam. He re-took this exam three times before passing it, and graduated Starfleet Academy in 2377. His following ranks and assignments were:
