No one could anticipate how he would mature, given his unique lineage. 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 19, the aging process started to slow due to his El-Aurian side and he essentially 'stopped' physically aging by his early 20s. | No one could anticipate how he would mature, given his unique lineage.

Overall, the aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual based on stress, life experience, and other factors. There have been theories and studies mentioning the Hayflick limit and El-Aurian immune systems, but this remains a topic of debate.

El-Aurian [[El-Aurian#Physiology|genes seem to be dominant in some hybrid cases]] (depending on the species), and that seems to ring true with Bryce since his systems (for example, his circulatory/cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, and immune/lymphatic systems) are seemingly more El-Aurian than human.

After the events of the lunar colony, Bryce suffered from an excessive amount of guilt, pain, and trauma. When he returned home, the invisible wounds were apparent. While he sought medical treatment, his existing relationships suffered. For a time, he fell into a black void consisting of reckless behavior and a string of one-night stands. He 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 actively seeks purpose in his work and finds ways to build healthy, solid friendships and working relationships. He believes wholeheartedly in robust support systems and the power of community. | ||

''Incomplete/data loading; alternative keywords chronometric.'' A sickness reserved specifically for El-Aurians and El-Aurian hybrids, though much literature is non-existent, and any historical data is challenging to obtain, thus making it virtually unexplored territory. Data regarding Bryce's case is currently being captured and documented by Starfleet Medical. Exposure to an abundance of chronitons on the Rogue World created a severe reaction and wreaked havoc on his system. He also noted that he had hazy, feverish dreams of "sliding through time" and went as far as stating that he "saw his own children." When he arrived on the Gorkon in early 2399, he was chronologically aged 41 with the physical appearance of a man in his early 20s (which matched his adjusted El-Aurian hybrid age). The exposure caused him to rapidly age by approximately ten years physically, grow a few inches in height, and develop premature graying around his temples. There was evidence (not an exhaustive list) of oxidative stress and telomere shortening. Treatment included but was not limited to: intense physical therapy/physiotherapy, telomere therapy, and anti-chroniton treatments. | * '''[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chroniton Chroniton] Sickness or ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'''''<nowiki/>'':''<nowiki/> ''Stardates 239910-240001.''
