Appearance, Presence and Physiology


  • Height: 1.78m (5'10")
  • Build: Slim, athletic
  • Hair: Dark auburn
  • Eyes: Hazel green

Presence

Bryce considers himself a doctor first and an officer second.

While on duty, he has a calm and methodical approach and doesn't fluster easily. It is worth mentioning that he can, at times, become hyper-focused on a task (almost to detriment). He has been called an "absent-minded professor" before. He can also be direct at times, but if he is it comes from a place of genuinely wanting to help versus being malicious. He is conscientiousness, organized but also flexible depending on the situation.

While off duty, his thoughts to drift and wander. Under the visage of a calm, collected physician is a troubled soul. He may appear to be in his early-to-mid-20s by standard Terran years, but there is an older soul with a breadth of experience that can, at times, haunt him if he is allowed alone with his thoughts.

Work gives him purpose and focus.

Physiological Notes

No one could really anticipate how he would mature given his unique lineage. When Bryce was a child he, like his biological mother Aribelle Tagren, developed and grew 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.

It is because of this he is often perceived as being younger than he truly is.

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 something to be a topic of debate.

Additionally, the El-Aurians are endangered, but are known to be semi-ancient and nomadic in nature. They are also seemingly good listeners and some have a temporal sense. While the latter of that statement may be confined primarily to those that experienced the Nexus event, Bryce does have a way with his patients that mirrors his mother’s approach: he is personable, sensitive, listens, and follows the platinum rule. However, with the present state of El-Aurian numbers and their ability to seemingly intermarry and interbred with other species, more and more information is being gathered that would shed light on their unique biology.


Relationships


Family

  • Spouse/Significant Other: None
  • Children: None

Parents:

  • Father: Paul Quinn, former Starfleet Captain (Human) and biological father. Bryce has a complicated history with his father and their relationship is tenuous at best.
  • Birth Mother: Amy Quinn-Williamson (Deceased). She was a full-blooded Terran that carried Bryce to term, along with his twin. For his entire life, Amy was his anchor. His beautiful, caring mother. Growing up, she was his world and when he grew a little older and found that she wasn't his biological mother, it of course was troubling news. Later, when found the true story of his birth, he felt like his whole life was a lie; an experiment and machinations of his already warped father.
  • Biological Mother: Doctor Aribelle Tagren (1/2 Terran, 1/2 El-Aurian) - His biological mother, who donated her eggs for altruistic reasons decades ago before entering medical school.

Siblings:

  • Twin sister: Elyia “Elie” Cameron Tagren-Quinn

Romantic

  • Former Partner: Cer Voyal, an unjoined Trill male, with black hair and cerulean-colored eyes. Cardiologist. Relationship dissolved after the Calesian Lunar Colony disaster.
  • Former Fling: Gexena, a female Betazoid nurse.

Personal History


Bryce was born to Paul Quinn and his wife Amy, an elementary school teacher, in San Francisco, California. His mother wanted a stable upbringing for him and his twin sister, Elie, so they stayed Earth bound while his father traveled the stars on his Sovereign-class vessel, the USS Poseidon. The family was reunited during times of shore leave, interstellar calls, and an occasional visit to the ship, but the distance strained his parent’s marriage and, eventually, they divorced (the twins were three at the time). His father’s presence at that point was perceived as obligatory at best and when when he later retired from Starfleet, his presence in his children’s lives remained minimal. Duty before family, even when he was no longer active. It’s a bit of a sore topic for Bryce, one that he would not bring up in casual conversation.

His views of his father were made even cloudier when he learned that his biological mother was Aribelle Tagren, an El-Aurian/Human hybrid physician and decorated Starfleet officer. There’s an even deeper history there that left Bryce confused and conflicted, and on some level feeling betrayed by a supposed wonderful officer, a man, a father that continually let him down.

However, Bryce’s personality type allows him to not ruminate on matters for too long. He looks forward to finding ways where he can bring some good into the universe and focuses on the objective at hand.

That is the drive that compelled him to pursue medicine. It was always something that clicked for him and biology seemed to come naturally. He attended medical school and completed various internships and residencies.

It was during his quest to become a doctor that an event forever changed Bryce’s course. A bit jaded with Starfleet, the young El-Aurian was committed and content with his civilian medical studies. However, when a Lunar colony in the outskirts of the quadrant suffered a great calamity that resulted in thousands of injuries and casualties in the hundreds, Starfleet called upon civilian medical volunteers to assist. It was called the Calesian Lunar Colony disaster. Bryce was one of these volunteers and it was during this time something resonated within him. Life was much bigger than planet side or Earth.

So many species needed medical attention. They needed medical staff to count on, every day. He immediately enrolled in Starfleet.

At this point of his life, Bryce has completed all of his medical training and has applied himself through the academy and did brief stints on medical ships and space stations, such as DS6. He also worked at Johns Hopkins and the Mayo Clinic on Earth.
