Regan Wilde: Difference between revisions

'''Father'''

[[Image:MarcusW.jpg|100px|left|]]

Commander Marcus Wilde is a tactical analyst and holds a command position at Starfleet Security on Earth. He is described by Regan as being strict and controlling. Marcus and his wife Amanda divorced when Regan and Roxy were thirteen and Marcus left the family home and moved to San Francisco for work. Marcus and Regan rarely speak to each other face to face, though Marcus has kept close tabs on his son since securing him a second placement in Starfleet academy. It is assumed by Regan that Marcus scuppered his chances of a test pilot position at Utopia Planetia, and instead got him posted in security aboard a starship.  

'''Mother'''

Amanda Wilde is a successful holo-novelist residing in England. She is described by Regan as being a caring, free-spirit who 'can tell your star sign as soon as she looks at you'. She writes contemporary crime fiction, and likes to think of herself as the 24th century 'Agatha Christie'. She also branches out occasionally into 'mushy romance' stories. She is considered by most who meet her to be a bit of an odd-ball.

'''Sister'''

[[Image:RoxyW.jpg|150px|left|]]

Roxy is Regan's fraternal twin sister. She entered Starfleet Academy at the same time as Regan and graduated ahead of him. She specializes in engineering and earned a place at the Starfleet Corps of Engineers and currently holds the rank of Lieutenant.jg. She is said to be the more outspoken and 'reckless' of the two, but she has the discipline to back it up. 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 mellow him out.

{{Heading|Background/Personality|Gold}}

Regan Wilde is a loud and proud character. Friendly and popular among his crew mates, he thrives on the social aspects of life in Starfleet. He is a confident, hands-on character who will help anyone in need and is fiercely loyal to his friends. He had a reputation of being a typical 'fly boy' at the academy since he excelled in piloting, as well as advanced tactical classes and was considered one of the best pilots of the Class of '97. He came top of the class in advanced tactical piloting and considers flying his first love and one of the only things he's truly good at.  

His mannerisms mix from being masculine when he's on duty in security - or in a red alert situation - to very slightly feminine when he's in a good mood or gossiping on the bridge when there's nothing else going on. He's very forthright and flirty with other men, regardless of rank. This is usually a character test to see how they will treat Regan in the future. Though he takes his duties very seriously, he has a naturally boyish personality, and has been described by others as having the personal behaviour of a reckless teenager. He has been reprimanded on the Arrow for getting ahead of himself in the chain of command, and for overstepping his bounds in the security department. All of this he regrets, and attributes it to wanting to impress his superiors, yet without thinking the consequences of his actions through. He jokes that he has a 'less than regulation' personality, though he regrets upsetting his crew mates.

Though the economics of the 24th century and of the Federation place no value in financial gain or assets, money is still used in the form of gold-pressed 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, "disgustingly rich". The family business, Wilde Industries, manufactures computer cores and engine parts for Starfleet and other Alpha Quadrant races. Latinum played a big part of Regan's childhood, and gained him a reputation for being a spoiled brat and a playboy. He hates this aspect to his personality and tries hard to get away from it now he's a Starfleet officer. He is frequently generous with his wealth and won't hesitate splashing out on extravagant gifts for friends. His only vice is that he still buys expensive clothes for himself, and once claimed that he put his favourite Bolian tailors children through college with the amount of clothing he bought.

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, through extensive counselling and other medical treatments he has been clean and sober since 2392, and his family used a lot of their influence in Starfleet to get him a second chance at Starfleet Academy in 2393. It is revealed in his crew physical by Ensign Sivok on the USS Arrow that Starfleet Command placed a heavy caveat on his graduation, and he had to pass a mandatory substance test in order to retain his commission.

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.

Regan is a self-confessed Klingophile, and adores everything Klingon, from pain sticks to opera (though gagh is an acquired taste!). He finds Klingon culture and society to be rich and fascinating and follows the Klingon Code of Honour. He drinks Raktajino, practices Mok'bara and has a Mek'leth blade in his quarters which he is very adept with. He plans one day to progress to Bat'leth training and enter tournaments competitively. Though he is still a novice, he speaks modest Klingon. He attributes his love of everything Klingon to his close friend, confidant and mentor, T'Wrath (son of Meltak), who as the eldest son and heir inducted his cousin Danny Wilde into the House of Meltak in the 2380's.
