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 Earth bound 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 strained his parent’s marriage and, eventually, they divorced (the twins were three at the time).

His mother wanted a stable upbringing for him and his twin sister, Elie, so they stayed Earth bound 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 and, 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 Duty before family, even when he was no longer active.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. | ||
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, and on some level feeling betrayed by a supposed wonderful officer, a man, a father that continually let him down. | 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.

It was during his quest to become a doctor that an event forever changed Bryce’s course. A bit jaded with Starfleet (because of his father and seeing how it all sort of ripped through families), the young El-Aurian was committed and content with his civilian medical studies. However, when a Lunar colony in 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, deeply affecting him. | It was during his quest to become a doctor that an event forever changed Bryce’s course.

He had seen so much death and despair | He had seen so much death and despair and developed a connection to 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. | Bryce floated between people after that, against the professional medical advice he was given.

*'''[[Shadows of the Rift (Gorkon)| Shadows of the Rift]]''' (239901.27 to 239904.21): Bryce plunged into action during the middle of [[Shadows_of_the_Rift_(Gorkon)#Act_Two:_Kill_of_the_Night|Act II]] (239903.07), redirected from sickbay towards search and rescue efforts on deck 8 after an explosion compromised its hull. The party that he joined consisted of Lieutenant Commander [[Jona ch'Ranni]], Lieutenant [[Lephi]], and Lieutenant JG [[Tahna Meru]]; Lieutenant Commander [[Kero Rix]] later assumed the party's lead during the middle of Act III. The deck was riddled with punctures to the hull (weakening containment fields and EVA suits their only means of safety), leaving the rescue team slightly on edge as they worked against the clock to find any survivors in the explosion's aftermath and fighting the rift's terrible, personalized nightmares. They were able to successfully rescue Lieutenant JG [[Vorin]], Lieutenant [[Valesha Sienelis]] (who was in the throes of labor), and Ensign [[Tzim-Shah]] (who lost an arm during the ordeal), but there were also casualties. The incident, and the tough decisions around when to press on for the sake of other survivors or to spend the critical time and resources sorting through debris to search for officers that may already be dead, made the seasoned doctor yet fresh Ensign think back to events on the lunar colony. While his emergency medical training kicked in and he exuded, for the most part, a calm and leveled approach, he would later spend the following leave thinking back on his history, how it influenced his decisions, and how that translated to his present state. | *'''[[Shadows of the Rift (Gorkon)| Shadows of the Rift]]''' (239901.27 to 239904.21): Bryce plunged into action during the middle of [[Shadows_of_the_Rift_(Gorkon)#Act_Two:_Kill_of_the_Night|Act II]] (239903.07), redirected from sickbay towards search and rescue efforts on deck 8 after an explosion compromised its hull.

***'''Camping on Palanon''': He joined [[Cory Stoyer]], [[Meidra Sirin]], and [[Tahna Meru]] for a nature immersive trip on Palanon.

***'''Partying Like a Physician''': The medical crew ([[Loxley]], [[Meidra Sirin]], and [[Tali Namura]]), took advantage of an opportunity to unwind on Iana Station, sharing drinks and laughs over their origins and funny medical stories. The evening, however, started inauspiciously with an unwanted surprise blast from the past: former flame, the golden-dressed Gexena. While Bryce and Gexena have a heated debate out of earshot from his colleagues, he quickly descended into a bout of drinking that led to him disappearing once they reached the club. He awoke the next morning on the ship, a jumble of memories only partially telling the story of what happened to him. Tali would later check in on him, leading to an amusing scene of him cleaning up his temporary quarters, but also leading into a deeper conversation around his past. | ***'''Partying Like a Physician''': The medical crew ([[Loxley]], [[Meidra Sirin]], and [[Tali Namura]]), took advantage of an opportunity to unwind on Iana Station, sharing drinks and laughs over their origins and funny medical stories.
