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. 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. 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. It has also been said that an [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian El-Aurian can age when they "choose to."] | ||
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. However, there are subtle human variations and influences. He has experienced [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Af-Kelt Af-Kelt], and has [[El-Aurian#Physiology|a dense hippocampus with vivid memory recall]] (which contributed to his secondary trauma - ''see Medical Notes''), and a stiff knee which might be more heightened due to [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian#Biology the physical sensitivity of El-Aurians]. The symptoms experienced during Af-Kelt can likely be attributed to these physical sensitivities, too. | |||
El- | El-Aurians are also considered endangered and known to be semi-ancient and nomadic. They think of themselves as [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian#Culture "listeners" (meaning that they can "hear" the world around them, likening it to "music")], have [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian#Biology limited empathic and telepathic abilities], and an innate temporal sense (although the latter of that statement may be confined primarily to those that experienced the Nexus event). In Bryce's case, he doesn't have any true empathic or telepathic abilities but does seem to have a heightened "intuition" that he credits his El-Aurian blood for that has served him well as a doctor, though it is not always reliable or easy to decipher. | ||

* '''Depression, Stress & Secondhand Trauma:''' ''Pre-Starfleet.'' 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.''

* '''Artist and Scientist''': His mother used to drag him to art events when he was a small child, and he participated in many murals that are currently on display across the galaxy. He initially took science classes to understand anatomy and forms in nature better and to develop his art further. Through those classes, he discovered he had a natural affinity for biology. He has used his art to communicate complicated medical scenarios with patients and their families, demystifying a confusing and scary diagnosis, stripping away heavy medical-laden terminology, and building a bridge between doctor and patient. This has produced trust and inspired greater patient compliance resulting in better outcomes. | * '''Artist and Scientist''': His mother used to drag him to art events when he was a small child, and he participated in many murals that are currently on display across the galaxy.

His mother wanted a stable upbringing for him and his twin sister, Elie, so they stayed Earthbound 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 (and other things) strained his parent’s marriage. 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 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. | ||

{{Citation|Sheathed Sword|240007.04|[[USS Gorkon]]|Awarded to individuals who choose to inflict mental and/or physical suffering on their character, then dig into the following feelings and decisions in a realistic manner. The term is derived from a passage in a Robert Jordan novel in which a warrior must be prepared to 'sheath the sword' in their own body, i.e. incur a painful wound to attain one's objective (in this case, more realistic simming) rather than a genuine aim of the character.}} | |||
{{Citation|Prantares Ribbon|240007.04|[[USS Gorkon]]|Awarded to Medical officers who have moved beyond standard competence to display a true gift for the healing arts in the context of space medicine. Officers awarded should display the ability to keep a steady hand in the often hazardous conditions in which they must practice, as well as the willingness to risk their own life to save the lives of others. When they are not actively caring for patients, many doctors spend their time on duty undertaking medical research or familiarising themselves with the findings of previous medical studies. Like their colleagues in the Science department, they have utilised their specific abilities in cross department collaboration.}} | |||
