Hobbies and Interests
Dislikes
- Using Transporter Beams (= Phobia)
- Combining Technology with Biological beings
- The Borg.
- When people refuse to enjoy themselves or laugh.
Passtimes/ Hobbies
One of Rocar's main hobbies is Cooking. His speciality being Ktarian Chocolate Puff with 17 different varieties of Chocolate. A corner of his personal quarters has been converted into a kitchen area, and Rocar tends to avoid using the replicator, enjoying a trip to the Starbase’s promenade to purchase genuine food ingredients from the many alien traders.
Upon his return to Starbase 118 as Commanding Officer, Rocar has requested and procured a small allotment space in one of the Starbase's natural areas. Although he has never had any experience in gardening, he plans to try growing fresh vegetables (with which to cook) on his lot and firmly intends to take-up and develop this new passtime/hobby. He secretly hopes that the allotment space will alow him a quiet a peacful place to which he can escape from the stresses and hassle of busy life (and his job) on the Starbase.
He also enjoys all forms of Skiing; is an avid rock climber and is a brilliant concert pianist. He had a Ktarian grand piano in his quarters on Starbase 118 and has won many prizes at Ktarian music festivals, though he never boasts of his musical ability. Playing the Ktarian Grand Piano is difficult since it has brown keys inserted between the black and white keys to play demi-semitones. He also interprets Bob Dylan songs on an acoustic folk Guitar from Ktaria VII (with 9 Strings), something he started during his days as a medical student.
Before joining Starfleet Rocar was a junior bio-medical scientist on both Earth (under Dr. Mirzan) and at the Vulcan Science academy under Prof. Solvak. Rocar's research interests began in inter-species compatibility and in the early years of his career tried to develop a Genesis Device Mark 2 which failed in the early stages of experimentation.
Family & Friends
Despite his seperation in 2383, family is something that Rocar, like many Ktarians takes very seriously. Over the years he has also aquired a multitude of close friends.

Working Style
Rocar is usually an optimist despite having a dread of certain situations. Rocar often tends to chuckle aloud to everything he finds amusing, no matter how grave the situation and his full blown laugh can echo out louder than even a Klingon. Being on duty does not stop him from being jovial. This usually raises a few eyebrows but fellow officers soon get used to it. Rocar is far from being a "by-the-book" officer, and has occasionally gotten himself into trouble with being to lax with protocol. The Ktarian prefers to get a job done properly, efficiently and quickly rather than doing things by sticking to the rules and he will forget regulations and directives if they block him from doing something that he judges as being important.
When Rocar was a medical officer and then latter a science officer he was often found working in his own department in just his blue "under tunic" with his sleeves rolled up and his grey uniform jacket hung up nearby, rather than sticking to full uniform. He was one of the few Starfleet officers to be seen walking round the corridors in just the blue top and com badge, but he always made an effort to put the jacket on before entering a command area (such as an Ops centre or the bridge of a starship,) or joining an away team. He has a particular dislike for dress uniforms and prefers to address people by name rather than by rank or by title. In actual fact, the Ktarian hates wearing white and is adamant he's never worn a dress uniform that has fitted properly. Those who work in the Ktarian’s department found him an easy leader to get along with, however he was often a thorn in the side of the command staff during staff meetings where he is unafraid to offer a differing opinion.
Then of course Rocar became a command staff. As such he kept his usual jovial character, stuck to first names and was easy going with the other officers despite having high expectations. Keeping his firm dislike of dress uniform; he wore full uniform on duty; though where others are often seen to pull down on their uniform top, Rocar is characterised by the way he unconsciously strokes his uniform collar when he thinks. Perhaps suggesting he is still not used to wearing the jacket!
Whilst on difficult away missions when things go wrong, it is not unusual for Rocar to end up being beamed back to the ship wearing just his red under top with sleeves rolled up indicating that the jacket usually gets lost when on away missions where he's not on show. After extreme combat situations the Ktarian often ends up coming back to the starship in just his grey under vest.
Becoming a Federation Ambassador, Captain Rocar now spends a lot more time in Dress Whites. however, when he is just on day duty without an important meeting he'll wear a relaxed red waistcoat reserved for command officer or once again work in his office with just his red shirt and no jacket -the priviledges of his own command having brought his choice of clothing full circle to when he was an Ensign working alone in a lab.
Rocar's Office / Quarters
During his assignment to the Federation Embassy to Duronis II Rocar had a large luxurious office overlooking the gardens. 'See: Ambassador's Office'
Following his reassingment to the USS Constitution , Rocar now occupies the smaller Ready Room on Deck 1. With its convenient location next to the Bridge the Ready room has slowly been personalised by the Ktarian.

Likewise, Rocar's Quarters on his starship are a place of retreat.
