Oscar Quinn
Description
About
Born and bred in the Roxbury neighbourhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Oscar grew up as the only child of the working class Irish-American Quinn family. Having always been a dedicated, hard-working student, he graduated with a degree in Journalism from Suffolk University and, finding he was better at speaking than writing, steadily worked his way up towards his current job as a reporter for local news station WGBH. Often tasked with covering criminal trials, Oscar regularly found himself becoming acquainted with lawyers and ultimately ended up falling in love with public defender Laura Quinn, whom he married in 2103. Although he initially believed both he and his wife had accepted the fact that Laura could not have children, he came to realise this wasn't the case, leading the Quinns to adopt four-year-old Megan in 2116.

Happily married to Oscar Quinn, with an adopted daughter and the possibility of a second child through surrogacy, Laura has always fought to make a way for herself in the midst of her family. She was the first O'Connell sibling to go to university, the first to move out properly and start a well paying career. Despite her efforts, for most of her life she felt like she was being eclipsed by Susannah. The phrase "anything you can do I can do better" seemed to apply for her sister. This, coupled with the rocky portion of her parents' marriage when Susannah was born which a young Laura associated with Susannah's birth, led to a resentment of her for many years. It is only in recent weeks that she has begun to repair her relationship with her.
Born Megan Colin in the Roxbury neighbourhood of Boston, Massachusetts, Megan was a mere three years old when her parents were assassinated in front of her own eyes on Thanksgiving Day, November 28th, 2115. Believed to be a murder related to gang crime, the case passed through public defender Laura Quinn's office and drew her attention, although she wasn't to meet Megan until March 2116, when she and her husband were considering adopting a child. Although initially intending to adopt a teenager, Megan's maturity coupled with the fact that Laura's own niece, Caroline Walsh, had been killed by a gang not too long ago led her to change her mind. Megan was introduced to her mother's occasionally suffocating O'Connell family soon after and has seemingly settled in well, being particularly friendly with her cousin Sean McCarthy.
