====Pastimes & Hobbies====
=====Sports=====
[[Image:rocarclimbsmall.jpg|thumb|220px|left|Rocar Rock Climbing in the Holodeck]] Rocar enjoys all forms of Skiing; particularly on the slopes of his homeworld of [[Ktaria VII]]. This was a hobby the Rocar practiced a lot when he was stationed at the Federation Embassy on the planet [[Duronis II]].

Rocar has long been an avid rock climber. Even as a teenager when he got in to trouble for climbing a forbidden mountain on Vulcan. (see [http://wiki.starbase118.net/wiki/index.php?title=Drawoh-Hilzarie,_Rocar/Personal_History:_Early_Years#Teenage_Years| Rocar's teenage years article]).Over the years he has continued to climb on away missions and for fun. Rocar was once taken to an American Football match in the holodeck by Lt.Cmdr. John Sheriden, but the Ktarian did not understand much about the terran's favourite sport. He is, however, always intrigued and eager to learn about alien culture's sporting practices.

At the Academy and as a junior officer Rocar was known to play racket ball, however, he has not played in recent years due to not having someone to play against. Rocar sometimes practices boxing and hand-to-hand combat with his Chief of Security [[Webb, Cyrus|Cyrus Webb]]. More regularly, however, he can be found working out (particularly on the weights) in the officer's gym between 16 hundred and 18 hundred hours every weekday; and can be found Rock Climbing on the holodeck every Saturday morning. When he meets up with the crew of the [[USS Constitution-B]] he always goes climbing with his former Historian & Archaelogical Officer Lt.Cmdr. [[T'Lea]].

=====Musical Interests=====
Rocar is a brilliant concert pianist. He has a [[Ktarian grand piano]] which he's kept in his quarters on all of his assignments and has won 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 office which he uses to unwind between meetings. He also interprets old 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.

=====Cooking, Food & Gardening=====
[[Image:Ktarian_chocolate_puff.jpg|thumb|150px|Rocar's Homemade  Chocolate Puff Dessert]]
One of Rocar's main hobbies is Cooking. His speciality being [http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Ktarian_chocolate_puff 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, when he was stationed on Starbase 118 he used to enjoy a trip to the Starbase’s promenade where he likes to purchase genuine fresh food ingredients from the many alien traders. To Rocar this was one of the principal advantages to being assigned to a Starbase over a starship although when on a Starship he enjoys collecting unique ingredients from the planets they visit. When Rocar was  assigned 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 had never had any experience in gardening, he learnt to try growing fresh vegetables (with which to cook) on his lot. The Ktarian secretly used the allotment space as a quiet a peacful place which he would use to escape from the stresses and hassle of busy life (and his job) on the Starbase. When Rocar retired he settled on a small farmstead in the mountains on Ktaria VII where he kept a variety of animals and a vast allotment of home grown vegetables.

=====Scientific Interests=====
Before joining [[Starfleet]] [[Rocar]] was a junior bio-medical scientist on both [[Earth]] (under [http://memory-alpha.org/wiki/Mizan Dr. Mizan]) 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.

During the [[Dominion War]] Rocar was assigned to work on the  [[Zerentares project]] at a penal colony near Betazed. The repercussions of which still haunt Rocar today. Several officers under Rocar's command have been suspicious or had raised interest given the Ktarian's reluctance to talk about what went on during the [[Zerentares project]] and it is clear to many that the Starfleet Captain still feels guilty today.

As an Ensign, Rocar helped find a cure for a Naeveus virus epidemic and as a Lt.Jg. on Starbase 118 Rocar discovered and experimented on an unusual substance known as [[Jytzell Fluid]]
