Family

Quinn is a product of a Starfleet family, his father at one point the full time resident First Officer for the USS Northwind before retiring at the age of fifty-seven. His mother, LtCmdr Ellen Patrick (Holmes), is currently on leave from Starbase 110 where she works as the station's Chief Medical Officer. He the oldest of the children. Quinn's younger sister, Elizabeth, is in her final year at Starfleet Academy's Medical Program and the youngest of the siblings, Veronica, is pursuing a business degree outside of Starfleet.

They are an extremely close family, despite time, place and distances. It's not uncommon for either Quinn, his sisters, or their parents to unexpectedly show up without warning. Quinn spent a summer break period during the Academy on the colony world Ordell in the middle of terraforming when Veronica showed up unannounced and proceeded to bunk together while Quinn was studying domed colony construction. William spent his first retirement year knocking around the galaxy when Ellen showed up halfway to enjoy a makeshift honeymoon. They are a family with a strong work ethic, but can drop it all when one of them needs help.

Personal History

Quinn has an erratic affliction of slight seizures which causes his eyes to involuntary flutter, usually when he's utilizing memory retention. While he hasn't yet suffered from a stroke, it's one of his frequent worries although it doesn't stop him from what he loves doing (and likes to think he does well), which is working in the Starfleet Corps of Engineers. In his spare time he has an old 20th Century Harley motorcycle (in pieces) he works on (although he secretly thinks it would make a bad-ass schematic for a sleeker fighter class, which is the primary purpose behind the restoration... which design components could be utilized). Unfortunately, he also suspects his passion for hardware is what skews his social skills and keeps him single and unattached.

Quinn is a young, energetic man who doesn't put a lot of faith into his physical description, but in his skills along with his quirky sense of humor with a sense of "fun". He likes to undertake challenging projects (but additionally likes to ramble on the impossibilities of such projects at the same time), avoids alcohol like the plague since he has no tolerance for it, and keeps a small collection of mystery books (the guilty pleasure reading). One of his major hobbies is architecture and building models.
