Quinn Reynolds: Difference between revisions

* '''Full Name''': Quinn Erin Reynolds

* '''Species''': [[Human]]/[[Deltan]]

* '''Date of Birth''': 14^th February

* '''Place of Birth''': Columbia Hills, Mars.

* '''Gender''': Female

Quinn lives in the world of theoretical possibilities.  She exists primarily inside her own mind and has the ability to analyse difficult problems, identify patterns and come up with logical explanations.  Almost everything is seen in terms of how it could be improved, or what it could be turned into.  She seeks clarity in almost all aspects of her life and is driven to build knowledge.  Her natural drive to turn theories into concrete understanding has resulted in a feeling of personal responsibility to solve problems and bring a greater awareness to her field.

Quinn has little understanding or value for decisions made on the basis of personal subjectivity or feelings. She strives constantly to achieve logical conclusions to problems and doesn't understand the importance or relevance of applying subjective emotional considerations to decisions.  For this reason, she is often not in tune with how people are feeling and is not well-equipped to meet the emotional needs of others.  She often fails to realise the value of attending to other people's feelings and has difficulty giving the warmth and support that is sometimes necessary in intimate relationships.

====Hobbies and Pastimes====

* '''Academia''': Never one to let her mind rest, Quinn is constantly working on some academic project in her spare time; be it a thesis, journal article or new technology design.

* '''Gardening''': While not as feasible on a starship, she enjoys gardening and has a sizeable garden in her home on Mars.

====Personal Achievements and Disappointments====

Quinn has a somewhat unusual relationship with her personal achievements; despite being the holder of multiple PhDs and several years of Research and Design experience at Utopia Planitia shipyards, she does not view these as particularly great accomplishments.  Rather, they were something she was expected to achieve - well within her abilities - and so she tends brush off any attention regarding them, which can be interpreted as arrogance.  She is genuinely proud of is her acceptance to and graduation from Starfleet Academy, as she found the theoretical work easy, but many other aspects of the Academy's curriculum were a struggle to Quinn and she had to work hard to pass them.

====Living Quarters====

====Children====

** '''Son''': [[Reynolds, Dylan|Dylan Reynolds]] ''(adopted)''

She displayed a remarkable intellect at an extremely young age; she was gently encouraged by her adoptive father and forcibly pushed by her maternal grandparents into fully exploring her potential. As a direct result, she applied and was accepted by the Daystrom Institute of Technology at the tender age of ten. There, she studied a Bachelor of Science degree in Physics, but growing up on Mars near the Utopia Planitia facility had instilled a love of starships into the girl, and it was in this direction that Quinn chose to channel her genius. Though she found the life of an academic and researcher fulfilling, Quinn felt she had been shoehorned into the role and wished to try something she would actually find challenging; eventually realising this dream by securing herself a place at Starfleet Academy.

Quinn's time at the Academy was unremarkable; over-achieving in all classical academic aspects and under-achieving in just about everything else, she managed to graduate squarely in the middle of her class.  Her first assignment, much to her distress, was to the Defiant class starship, the USS Triumphant.  There she served in the engineering department, eventually finishing her tour of duty as a Lieutenant and the Chief of Engineering.

Following the reassignment of the the Triumphant and her crew, Quinn was posted to the USS Independence as its Chief Engineer.  After a roller-coaster time, both professionally and personally, she requested a transfer to a new duty post and was snapped up by Starfleet Intelligence and posted to Starbase 118.  After an classified incident aboard the base, she was transferred to the USS Eagle as the ship's First Officer and later took command of the vessel, a promotion to captain following thereafter. When the Eagle was decommissioned, she was reassigned as the commanding officer of the USS Drake.

====Decorations & Commendations====

A highly decorated officer, Quinn has a legion of service ribbons and medals attached to her name. They are kept tucked away in a drawer, rarely seen. Her work in engineering, physics and cryptology have won her several awards, both as her time as a civilian and later as a Starfleet officer.
