Regan Wilde: Difference between revisions

Popular and friendly, though somewhat vain and narcissistic, Regan Wilde lives life in Starfleet to the fullest. Coming from a life of privilege tempered with battles with alcohol and personal demons, he tries to prove his worth to Starfleet, his crew and friends, and to himself.   

* '''Facial Hair''': Short Stubble

** He is a big foodie, with a large appetite and a mildly unhealthy obsession with sweets, so loves his puddings and desserts.  

* '''Favourite Drinks''':

** Pulling rank and being overly formal.

The Wilde stately residence, '''Wilde Manor''', which is located in Surrey, England. The house sits on a 1,400 acre estate built in 1824. It has been the ancestral home of the Wilde's since that time. Regan spent all of his childhood and most of his adult life living here. Sidney Wilde and his wife Joanna are current owners of the house, though most of the extensive Wilde family live here.  

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. Though he takes his duties seriously, he has a naturally boyish personality, and has been described by others as having the personal behaviour of a teenager. He is also somewhat vain and narcissistic, and enjoys talking about himself.

Regan is very much open about his sexuality, and was considered to be quite promiscuous in his early life and at the academy. He's usually very flirty with people and tends to wear his heart on his sleeve, as well as capitalize on his looks. He's overly-confident in himself to chat up potential dates, but his vanity and narcissism gets him rather annoyed if they don't find him irresistible. Despite his open personality he has never had a serious relationship of more than a few weeks in his life.  

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. The Wilde family come from 'old money' and ancient English peerage, and are as Regan describes it, "disgustingly rich". The family business, Wilde Industries, manufactures computer isolinear chips, memory cores and engine parts for Starfleet and other Federation words privately. 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. Eventually, through extensive counselling and other medical treatments he has been clean and sober since 2392, and his father used a lot of the family influence in Starfleet to get him a second chance at Starfleet Academy in 2393.  

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. It was revealed in '''A Scouring of Stars''' that he was frequently brutalised by the street gangs, and the Ferengi Governor of Lakata held Regan to ransom. His family privately paid 2,000 bars of gold-pressed latinum to get him back.
