* '''Build''': Almost hilariously lanky. He has strength in his arms and legs due to his time at sea, but they are trapped in a scarecrow like frame.  

* '''Glasses''': On occasion Quentin makes use of a pair of glasses which he uses to sharpen his vision and take in fine detailing as his eyes are good at a distance, but slightly fail at closer ranges. His first pair (heavy black frames) have since been shattered. Quentin replaced them with a largish pair of horn-rims (also black), but wonders about their long term status as part of his look. Prior to the current mission, Quentin replicated another pair of chunky plastic frames, but at a much smaller, more metropolitan size and now uses those as his go-to pair for the moment.

! style="background:#ffffff;" align="center" | Quentin wasn't sure he would meet anyone from his neck of the woods all the way out in the Wilds, but that's what make his connection with Dr. Foster all the sweeter. During a routine check-up, the two bonded over their shared background and found a fun, playful dynamic with one another. Here recently, Dr. Foster performed emergency surgery on his friend, saving his life from an attack by the Cam'Roon boarding party.

! style="background:#ffffff;" align="center" | One of the first connections Quentin made on ship and one that has proven to be the strongest. Both bonded quickly over a shared love of Sciences and being Starfleet officers. Their relationship then deepened before an Awards Ceremony where Kayla helped Quentin with a make over of sorts, resulting in his new look and nickname; "Quentin 2.0". During a recent spacewalk as well, Quentin sacrificed life and limb in order to keep her safe, demonstrating just how deep their connection has grown. She then responded in kind by later keeping him stable after it was discovered Quentin was stabbed on mission. These two have grown into quite the pair.

! style="background:#ffffff;" align="center" | Though Quentin and Chloe's relationship got off to a somewhat rocky start, the pair quickly found a common experience when they opened up to one another over a late-night chat in Chloe's quarters during her momentary confinement. The two shared with each other there personal childhood traumas and feelings of occasional helplessness. From there the officers now enjoy a sort of sibling like care for one another with Chloe using Quentin as a conduit for the outside world and Quentin trying to help guide the Helmsman into being more comfortable in herself. Here recently he oversaw the fabrication of "The Crown of Voices", a new translation device for Waters, which would allow for a greater range of expression for his friend. In the transfer to the Arrow, the pair grew closer as Quentin confided in her his father's death and allowed her to be the shoulder to cry on that he was for her not but a few months earlier during her confinement to quarters.  

Quentin had a rocky, but substantial schooling in his home town, graduation Collinsport High with honors and intentions to join Starfleet soon after. But his domineering mother had other plans for him. Having gained somewhat of a reputation through the state's academic community as an authority on the occult and spiritualism, she wished for her eldest to set the example for his siblings, Sara and David and follow in her footsteps. But terrestrial knowledge wasn't enough for Quentin and more so he wished to escape the town that bore his name in order to make a life for himself beyond Maine. Eventually his mother wore him down and he attended the college of her matriculation Salem State University in Salem, Massachusetts, earning a degree in Parapsychology with a minor in Anthropology, which pleased his mother who wanted him to take a more "Traditional Route".

Though he enjoyed the research and the rigors of student life, he was still unfulfilled and struck a deal with his parents. If he could work one full year at sea, he would be allowed to join Starfleet and finally answer the call of the stars. They relented and Quentin was elated. Working as a deck hand on one of his family's fishing boats (''The Josette''), he found himself at sea, as it ignited a whole new love and respect for service and travel. He also saw something at sea that further fueled his need to understand the unknown and to to experience it any way he could and he knew the best place for that would be in space.

*(AKA: "tv shows" and "movies". Specifically too many to name. Examples include "The Prisoner", Akira Kurasawa's  

It is of the opinion of this program(s) that Quentin Collins displays a respect of the position he now inhabits as well as a keen joy of duty that makes him uniquely suited to perform admirably in the position. However, it is also of the opinion(s) of this programs(s) that the recent loss of his father and subsequent feelings of disconnection and depression that have been dredged to the surface in it's wake might prove to be a hurtle Quentin won't prove able to overcome without serious therapeutic work coupled with rigorous, regular meditation and self-reflection.
