* '''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.

* '''Scars:''' Not visible while in uniform. Has a gunshot scar on his right shoulder and a knife scar along the left side of his torso (wounds suffered as an emergency physician via combative patients). There's also a large scar around his left knee and leg from a rock-climbing injury.

* '''[https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Chroniton Chroniton] Sickness or ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'''''<nowiki/>'':''<nowiki/> ''Stardates 239910-240001.'' ''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.

* '''Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):''' ''Stardates 239910-240001.''

The relationship between the doctor and his nurse was a secret for some time and started during his somewhat downward spiral after the lunar disaster, but after some soul-searching, he broke it off. It was more of a physical thing than one that manifested out of real feelings, and he felt terrible about it. She was more in love with him than he was with her, and he felt she deserved better.

Bryce was born to Paul Quinn and his wife Amy, an elementary school teacher, in San Francisco, California. 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.

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.
His views of his father were made even cloudier when he learned that his biological mother was Aribelle Tagren, an El-Aurian/Human hybrid physician and decorated Starfleet officer. There’s an even deeper history there that left Bryce confused and conflicted. On some level, he felt betrayed by a supposed excellent officer, a man, a father who continually let him down.
However, Bryce’s personality type didn't allow him to contemplate on matters for too long (or, was it he needed to find purpose to occupy space in his head?). Regardless, he wanted to push forward and find ways to bring some good into the universe and not focus on the bad.
That is the drive that compelled him to pursue medicine. It was always something that clicked for him, and biology seemed to come naturally. He completed his undergraduate studies before attending medical school and then completed his internship and residency.


It was during his career as a doctor that an event forever changed Bryce’s course. A bit jaded with Starfleet (because of his father and seeing how it all ripped through families), the young El-Aurian was committed and content with his civilian medical studies. However, when a Lunar colony on the outskirts of the quadrant suffered a great calamity that resulted in thousands of injuries and casualties in the hundreds, Starfleet called upon civilian medical volunteers to assist. It was called the Calesian Lunar Colony disaster. Bryce was one of these volunteers, and it was during this time something resonated within him, profoundly affecting him.

He had seen so much death and despair and developed a connection with the individuals he was helping. When the civilian efforts were no longer needed after things had reached a less heightened phase, Bryce was shooed away by Starfleet. It left him feeling like he lost a little of himself and suffered from secondary trauma and depression after the events.

Bryce floated between people after that, against the professional medical advice he was given. He took time off practicing medicine to focus on himself, to heal, immersing in nature and finding himself sliding still.
