When Bryce was a child he grew, accomplished developmental milestones, and ultimately went through puberty at the same rate as any full-blooded Human. At about the age of 19, the aging process started to slow as a result of his El-Aurian side and essentially 'stopped' physically aging (at least, by appearances) by the age of 24. | ||
Overall, the aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual based off stress, life experience and other factors. There have been theories and studies, with mentions of the Hayflick limit as well as El-Aurian immune systems, but this remains a topic of debate. It is also said that an [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian El-Aurian can age when they "choose to."] | Overall, the aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual based off stress, life experience and other factors.

The symptoms experienced during Af-Kelt can likely be attributed to these physical sensitivities, too. | ||

* '''Depression, Stress & Secondhand Trauma:''' After the events of the lunar colony, Bryce suffered from an inordinate amount of guilt, pain and trauma. When he returned home, the invisible wounds were apparent and while he sought medical attention (in the form of therapy, etc.), his existing relationships suffered. For a time, he fell into a black void that consisted of some reckless behavior and a string of one-night stands and took some time off work before slowly reintegrating after his providers were confident that he was fit for duty. While still finding himself after those events, he is actively seeking purpose in his work and finding ways to build healthy, strong friendships and working relationships. He believes in strong support systems and the power of community. ''Note: Due to the timing of treatment and his overall commitment and progress, a waiver was granted, with the understanding that counseling sessions are required routinely. Was treated by Dr. Ev Randall while in the academy and on DS6, before his assignment to the Gorkon.'' | * '''Depression, Stress & Secondhand Trauma:''' After the events of the lunar colony, Bryce suffered from an inordinate amount of guilt, pain and trauma.

* '''Scars:''' Not visible typically while in uniform. Has a gunshot scar on his right shoulder and a knife scar along the left side of his torso. There's also a large scar around his left knee and leg from a rock-climbing injury. | * '''Scars:''' Not visible typically while in uniform.

* '''Chroniton Sickness | * '''[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chroniton Chroniton] Sickness or ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'''''<nowiki/>'':''<nowiki/> ''Data loading.'' A sickness reserved for El-Aurians, though much literature does not exist, or is challenging to obtain and data is currently being captured, especially in his unique case which been documented by Starfleet Medical. Exposure to an abundance of chronitons on the Rogue Planet caused Bryce to age rapidly. When he arrived on the Gorkon in early 2399, he was chronologically aged 42, with the physical appearance of a 20 - 24-year-old. The exposure was a great stress to his body and caused him to age 10 years physically, grow a few inches in height (from 5'10" to 6'2"), and develop premature graying around his temples. This necessitated intense physical therapy/physiotherapy, telomere therapy, and anti-chroniton treatments. Overall prognosis is good, though continued monitoring is recommended, especially given the unique nature of this case. [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Antichroniton Anti-chroniton] treatment or prophylaxis will be necessary for any potential future exposures. | ||
* '''Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):''' Post-Rogue World, the effects of ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'' caused much emotional and mental stress, as were the decisions to sit out a mission and the inability to help with the medical efforts deployed throughout the system once the world left. He is still coming to terms about his physical changes, feeling like a stranger in his body. Continued therapy is recommended. | * '''Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):''' Post-Rogue World, the effects of ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'' caused much emotional and mental stress, as were the decisions to sit out a mission and the inability to help with the medical efforts deployed throughout the system once the world left.
