Quinn Reynolds: Difference between revisions

* '''Height''': 1.65m (5'5<nowiki>''</nowiki>)

** '''Social Situations''': Possibly as far from a party animal as one can get, Quinn dislikes parties, official functions and any other social situation where there a significant numbers of people in attendance.  

Quinn was never the most ambitious of Starfleet officers; throughout her career she had no desire to command a starship or facility and never dreamt of one day holding the rank of Admiral.  As a result, her entrance into the command ranks came as some of a surprise and her goals are currently limited to keeping the people that are her responsibility safe and doing her job to the best of her ability.  She is also striving to improve her own self-defence skills, after several incidents where they were found lacking.

In her personal life, she is trying to provide her adopted son [[Reynolds, Dylan|Dylan Reynolds]] with the best upbringing she can provide.

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.

She found her assignment to Starfleet Intelligence a struggle, and while she shone in the analytical work that she carried out, Quinn found field work much more difficult and was disappointed with her performance in that area.  To her continuing surprise, command seems to come a little more easily and she was tentatively proud of her accomplishments as a First Officer and Captain, though her time in the captain's chair came to an abrupt end when she was faced with the decision all captains dread, and hard to order someone close to their death.

Quinn's quarters are simply and sparsely decorated, plain and neutral in colour, with standard-issue furnishing.  There is, however, an abundance of plants, both mundane and exotic, and a variety of technically accurate starship models, including the [[USS Triumphant]], [[Starbase 118 Ops|Starbase 118]], the [[USS Drake]] and the [[USS Mercury]]. Evidence of her two children is often in clear view, with toys and accessories spread across the rooms.  

Dysfunctional is the best term to describe Quinn's family; her biological father has been conspicuously absent since before she was born, her mother passed away in a mental institution and her siblings do their best not to acknowledge her. She has a close relationship with her adoptive father, whom she has frequently turned to for advice and assistance in raising her own children.

Her private, aloof nature means that she is often slow to form a friendship, but those few friends are treasured and the relationships long-lasting, often spanning almost the whole length of her Starfleet career. She is somewhat less successful in her love life, and her rare romantic endeavours have so far always reached an abrupt end.

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.

 

Her time as a commanding officer came to an end following a classified mission — which, while successful, resulted in significant loss of life among her crew. She returned to the Intelligence fold, and was later posted at the Director of Intelligence for the Menthar Corridor, working from the USS Mercury, USS Garuda and currently, the USS Invicta.
