No one could really anticipate how he would mature given his unique lineage. When Bryce was a child he grew, accomplished developmental milestones, and ultimately went through puberty at the same rate as any full-blooded Human. At about the age of 19, the aging process started to slow as a result of his El-Aurian side and essentially 'stopped' physically aging (at least, by appearances) by the age of 24.

At about the age of 19, the aging process started to slow as a result of his El-Aurian side and he essentially 'stopped' physically aging by his early 20s.  


Overall, the aging process is different for El-Aurian hybrids and seems to be unique to each individual based off stress, life experience and other factors. There have been theories and studies, with mentions of the Hayflick limit as well as El-Aurian immune systems, but this remains a topic of debate. It is also said that an [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian El-Aurian can age when they "choose to."]

El-Aurian [[El-Aurian#Physiology|genes seem to be dominant in some hybrid cases]] (depending on the species), and that seems to ring true with Bryce as his systems (for example, his circulatory/cardiovascular, nervous, endocrine, and immune/lymphatic systems) are more El-Aurian than human, though there are subtle human variations and influences. He has experienced [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Af-Kelt Af-Kelt], and has [[El-Aurian#Physiology|a dense hippocampus with vivid memory recall]] (which contributed to his secondary trauma - ''see Medical Notes''), and a stiff knee which might be more heightened due to [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian#Biology the physical sensitivity of El-Aurians] (''see Medical Notes''). The symptoms experienced during Af-Kelt can likely be attributed to these physical sensitivities, too.

Additionally, El-Aurians are considered endangered and are known to be semi-ancient and nomadic in nature. They are also considered as seemingly good listeners, have [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/El-Aurian#Biology limited empathy and telepathy], and have an innate temporal sense. While the latter of that statement may be confined primarily to those that experienced the Nexus event (though maybe not necessarily so). However, with the present state of El-Aurian numbers and their ability to seemingly intermarry and interbreed with other species, more and more information is being gathered that would shed light on their unique biology/physiology.

====Medical Notes====
* '''Depression, Stress & Secondhand Trauma:''' After the events of the lunar colony, Bryce suffered from an inordinate amount of guilt, pain and trauma. When he returned home, the invisible wounds were apparent and while he sought medical attention (in the form of therapy, etc.), his existing relationships suffered. For a time, he fell into a black void that consisted of some reckless behavior and a string of one-night stands and 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 is actively seeking purpose in his work and finding ways to build healthy, strong friendships and working relationships. He believes in strong support systems and the power of community. ''Note: Due to the timing of treatment and his overall commitment and progress, a waiver was granted, with the understanding that counseling sessions are required routinely. Was treated by Dr. Ev Randall while in the academy and on DS6, before his assignment to the Gorkon.''

* '''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. 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/> ''Data loading.'' A sickness reserved for 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. Currently, data regarding Bryce's case is being captured and documented by Starfleet Medical. Exposure to an abundance of chronitons on the Rogue Planet wreaked havoc on his system. When he arrived on the Gorkon in early 2399, he was chronologically aged 42, with the physical appearance of a man in his early 20s. The exposure caused him to age 10 years physically, grow a few inches in height (from 5'10" to 6'2"), and develop premature graying around his temples; among other things. This necessitated intense physical therapy/physiotherapy, telomere therapy, and anti-chroniton treatments. ''Overall prognosis has been determined to be good, though continued monitoring will happen especially given the unique nature of this case. [https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Antichroniton Anti-chroniton] treatment or prophylaxis will be necessary for any potential future exposures.''

* '''Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD):''' Post-Rogue World, the effects of ''Sev'Kelt Veenala'' caused much emotional and mental stress, as were the decisions to sit out a mission and the inability to help with the medical efforts deployed throughout the system once the world left. He is still coming to terms about his physical changes, feeling like a stranger in his body. ''Continued therapy is required.''

* '''Father''': Paul Quinn (Human)
* '''Father''': Paul Quinn (Human)
Biological father and former Starfleet Captain (Human) of the ''USS Poseidon'' and, later, the ''SS Valestar''. He is charming and highly intelligent, with graying brown hair and dull blue eyes. Father and son have a complicated history and their relationship is tenuous at best. While he is officially "retired" from Starfleet, it is widely acknowledged that he was discharged from service. He has been known to be a bit shady, making unethical judgement calls, and then deflect blame onto others. Has sociopathic tendencies. Despite all this, the man is shrouded a bit in mystery, though part of it is likely because of the position he once held and Starfleet's desire and ability to properly manage the situation from a public-facing view.

* '''Birth Mother''': Amy Quinn-Williamson (''Deceased'', Human)
Originally, Amy sought out assistance to conceive but she did not foresee a "clinical error" that revealed itself during her third trimester. She was a full-blooded Terran that carried her twins to term. For Bryce's early life, Amy was his anchor. His beautiful, sweet and caring mother. When he grew a little older and found that she wasn't his biological mother, it of course was met with disbelief and anger. Later, when it was revealed that his father possibly manipulated things (though never completely proven), it further solidified Bryce's views of him; complete disdain.

* '''Twin sister:''' Elyia “Elie” Cameron Tagren-Quinn (El-Aurian/Human)
* '''Twin sister:''' Elyia “Elie” Cameron Tagren-Quinn (Human/El-Aurian)
Gregarious, vibrant and witty, Elyia is currently Bryce's compass and lifeline. She's an accomplished psychiatrist and social psychologist. While Bryce broods, Elyia brings it out in the open and gets over it. She helped to pull him out of the dark abyss that was their teenage years and the Calesian Lunar Colony disaster (and probably others, but we haven't gone there quite yet). She was once married and has a young child, a five-year-old son by the name of Rory.
