One of Rocar's main hobbies is Cooking. His speciality being [[Ktarian Chocolate Puff]] with 17 different varieties of Chocolate which he makes from his maternal grandmother's family recipe. Rocar has had a corner of his personal quarters converted into a kitchen area with special utensils.  Most evenings. Rocar tends to avoid using the replicator: Instead, he enjoys a trip to the Starbase’s promenade where he likes to purchase genuine fresh food ingredients from the many alien traders. To Rocar this is one of the principal advantages to being assigned to a Starbase over a starship.

Rocar 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. Interestingly, he also has a small upright piano in the corner of his ready room aboard the [[USS_Aegis |USS Aegis]] He also interpret folk songs from around the Federation 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.
