Regan Wilde: Difference between revisions

Amanda Wilde is a famous and 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 crime fiction, and likes to think of herself as the 24th century 'Agatha Christie'. She is considered by most who meet her to be a bit of an odd-ball, who like her son, tells things how it is and doesn't register the embarrassing things she says.

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.

* '''[[Artinus Serinus]]''' - Regan's immediate superior in Security. The two are polar opposites in every way, and rarely see eye to eye - professionally or personally. He calls him 'Serious Serinus' behind his back. He hopes they can come to an understanding and learn to respect each other.

* '''Maxwell Traenor''' - Regan never expected to have anything in common with an older man like Maxwell. The two seem opposites, but after the awards party on Atlas Base, the pair helped a drunk and deteriorating Crewman Thompson back to the ship, and Regan opened up to Maxwell about life as a recovering alcoholic, which ended with Regan crying on his shoulder. Now they have a unique friendship, and Regan regards him as a father figure, but also older brother/wing man.
