A San Francisco native, Quinn was born and raised not far from Starfleet Academy San Francisco. As a child, he used to spend hours watching crafts ascend from and descend to the Academy grounds, which Quinn admits was one of a few factors in his deep seated love for machines and gagetry. His first bike never made it. Quinn shameless admits he took the two-wheeler apart to figure out how it worked before learning how to ride it. While possessed of an innate ability regarding hardware construction and design, Quinn isn't necessarily the smartest or brainiest of the bunch. But he is tenacious with a competative spirit. Quinn takes the build it/reverse engineer approach over theoretical data. | A San Francisco native, Quinn was born and raised not far from Starfleet Academy San Francisco.

Quinn | Quinn has an erratic affliction of slight seizures which causes his eyes to involuntary flutter, usually when he's utilizing memory, conceptuals and redesigning. It's a part of how he processes and impliments the left and right sides of his oversized brain noodle. If there is one thing Quinn loves, it is hardware design, whether on a small scale, like his prized 1969 Harley Davison Motorcycle restoration, or on a planetary scale (power generators, colony domes and the like). He can be somewhat erratic, but it has never detered him from following (or respecting) his fellow officers and his higher ups. | ||
And despite the vocal promise/threat from both of his sisters saying otherwise, Quinn doesn't think he'll see himself married. Both Elizabeth and Veronica think Quinn is way too involved with his work. As he would put it, '''''"I have engine issues."''''' The young, but fun guy who would think himself socially awkward but holds himself just fine has his eyes feated on the golden grail of engineers: to build a space folding engine. He does alright with the science and isn't opposed to seeing what's out there, but he's a die hard engineer who's perfectly happy restoring/retrofitting a vintage craft or sipping on a glass of water (he avoids anything alcoholic, since he has no tolerance for liquor). | |||
Quinn loves challenges (but unfortunately at times thinks he rambles too much on the impossibiities of such impossible projects at the same time). He keeps himself busy with an assortment of small projects and loves to get out riding (he had a holodeck program made for motorcycles, a particular kind of craft he fell in love with in the old holovid history Earth archives). He loves a good mystery, and keeps a small collection of mystery books (his guilty pleasure reading). He additionally builds small scale models of buildings, crafts and the like, a hobby of his that brings a great deal of pleasure. He loves to build things. | |||
Quinn has a rugged good look to him, but he denounces it. He's not one to put in much on the physical appearance part of the equation. A good mind, fun personality, a good heart, and having something one is passionate about outweigh the look equation. If given the choice, he'd rather be in civvies than the uniform. On very rare occasions, he likes a good cigar (his father had a collection of them with a pocket humidifier, something Quinn thought had a practical application outside of preserving tobacco). While on his residency at Utopia Planetia, Quinn spent as much time outside as he did inside, perfectly happy with his colleagues and possessed with a spark of the adventure to explore the world and universe around him. | |||
As with all, Quinn is learning about who he is within the universe and the new experiences it brings him every day. | |||
