Ah, Hikaru Sulu. It took me a little time to think my way into his head, and to decide on certain choices.
My Hikaru is mostly movieverse and has some dichotomies within him. He's a little quiet, stable and studious, but with an explosive quality. His family's been in the US for generations, and the language he knows best after English/Standard is probably West Coast Spanish. And he's a switch, mostly a dom; he spent some time exploring the venerable SF scene from his last year of high school onwards.
I'm not sure if there's any concrete reason why he loves being a pilot, anything more specific than liking control, speed and adrenaline. He sees Kirk as a pleasantly bad influence towards the rakish, romantic, adrenaline-junkie side of his character, and Pavel as a wonderfully good one towards inspiring him to be his smartest and his best.
After the Narada Incident he never had nightmares about the Romulans he killed. He worries about that sometimes.
