Editing Jean-Paul "Alec" Vasil (section)

==Personality==
Regent is generally far more amoral than most of the Undersiders due to his upbringing.<ref name="Cast2">'''Regent, Alec''' (Also Jean-Paul Vasil) – Controls the southeast end of Brockton Bay, a shantytown area which suffered badly from the attack.  Sixteen, Alec is fairly amoral, stemming from a childhood spent growing up under the shadow of the emotion controlling supervillain Heartbreaker.  His powers allow him to provoke uncontrolled movements or spasms of particular body parts, but his true abilities come to bear when he can gain long-term access to a victim, decoding their nervous system and gaining complete and total control over their body. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (In Depth)]</ref> He does however care for them; when [[Taylor Hebert|Taylor]] asked the team not to get revenge on her tormentors, Regent went against this while controlling [[Sophia|her tormentor's]] body with his power. Even though he didn't care, he felt he ought to, as Skitter's teammate.<ref name="I10"> “Why?” she breathed.<br><br>“You fucked with my teammate,” he shrugged her shoulder.<br><br>“Grue?  I-”<br><br>He didn’t let her finish.  “I dunno if I care all that much, but it’s the sort of thing I’ll do because it feels like I should.  Dunno.  There’s also the fact that you’re dangerous, and you’ve outlived your usefulness, so… unless you can give me a convincing reason.”<br><br>“Please.”<br><br>“Not that convincing.”  He raised one foot, then kicked the chair, hard.<br><br>It rocked, but didn’t tip over.<br><br>He chuckled lightly, feeling the confusion and the relief from his host.  It was a thrill unlike any other.  “I think I made my point.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/15/interlude-10/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10]]</ref> The action ultimately resulted in [[Shadow Stalker|Sophia]] breaking probation and getting sent to juvenile detention.

Generally Alec is passive-aggressive when it comes to conflict, making wry comments behind the scenes while his friends try to figure out a problem. However, this does not mean Regent could not contribute to the Undersiders' planning. He is noticeably perceptive and astute, but he is largely driven by pleasure seeking. As a consequence, he does not try to keep fit and generally does not apply himself to a task without prompting.

Regent is best described as "a straight-up hedonist",<ref>Regent is a straight up hedonist. - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/12847980 Wildbow on Spacebattles]</ref> and is bisexual, showing no preference in gender for his partners.<ref name="14.1">[[Prey 14.1]]</ref><ref name="R2">Look at it this way - at the age that many boys are raising an eyebrow at boobs, family members were saying 'hey, here are all the boobs you could want, in various shapes, sizes, and colors'.<br>Interested in dick? Big ones, little ones, crooked ones. Dad's not that into it but a sister can hook you up.<br>At an age when many are just figuring out enough of the world to ask 'what's heroin?' or 'what's weed?' he was given heroin and weed and everything else that was theoretically obtainable and told to only indulge if it was someone else's body.<br>At an age when many are saying 'sex must be awesome' he was given free reign. Where other 12-13 year old boys might search the internet for weird and disturbing porn and kinky stuff just to see what's out there, he could experience it.<br>He was given all of this in a context where people either didn't care or they didn't/couldn't judge (or, considering obligatory big brothers and their teasing, judgment didn't count for a hell of a lot compared to novelty.) - [https://redd.it/68zocs Alec's past prior to joining the Undersiders] ([[Wildbow]], Reddit.com, 2017-05-03)</ref>
===Relationships===
Given his long term exposure to his emotion manipulating father, the extent Alec can have relationships with people is an open question.
====Family====
Largely dismissive of his family, having made the choice to disassociate himself from them.<ref name=":0">Regent shrugged, “I’ve told you where I come from, how I grew up.  I’ve seen similar stuff before, only it was my dad’s powers, not drugs.  I’ve got a high tolerance for that shit.”<br><br>I tried to convince him, “Didn’t you leave Heartbreaker because of stuff like that?  Aren’t you just getting back into the same situation with Coil?”<br><br>“I left my father because he was trying to control me and force me to be someone and something I wasn’t.  It wasn’t even remotely interesting or fun any more.  The day that happens with Coil, I’ll leave him too.  For now, it’s a good gig.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/02/25/buzz-7-12/ Excerpt] from [[Buzz 7.12]]</ref>

He did not appreciate the lengths his father tried to push him to.

He displayed no qualms about killing his sister or keeping her in indefinite imprisonment.
==== Undersiders====
Gets along with his team-mates but is very good friends with [[Aisha Laborn|Imp]]. Taylor had no idea what their relationship actually was.<ref name="C22">[[Cell]]</ref> His closest friend on the team was definitely Aisha, who he hung out with the most. Imp considered their relationship to be an equal partnership that was destined to rule the world.<ref name="e.2">[[Teneral e.2]]</ref> Whether or not it was romantic was an open question given each of their approaches to life.

He was defensive of his team's safety and berated Shadow Stalker for trying to kill [[Skitter]].<ref>“You don’t hold back,” Shadow Stalker commented, seemingly unfazed by her circumstances.  She teyted the strength of her bonds, experimentally.<br><br>“Says the person who tried to slit my teammate’s throat,” Regent spoke.<br><br>Shadow Stalker looked at me, the eyes behind her mask moving to my throat.  “Tough costume.”<br><br>''She doesn’t even deny it.  I can’t believe I’ve gone to high school with this lunatic.''  I resisted the urge to respond, shrugged instead.  Too easy to get into an argument, too easy to let something slip and reveal who I was. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/parasite-10-1/ Excerpt] from [[Parasite 10.1]]</ref>
