Here's my entry for BeyondRen 's "Draw Your Own OC" contest. I'm afraid my skills are not good for drawing, and truthfully I'm embarrassed to even show my reference picture. Even though I didn't want Dr. Zarander to look exactly like my reference. Still, I am glad for BeyondRen encouraging me to try one of my Star Wars supporting characters.

So, I give you the perpetually uneasy Dr. Rylkir Zarander, a doctor in the First Order stationed on the Star Destroyer Finalizer, who's had a real handful foisted upon him in Another Set of Eyes. He's really not that bad of a guy despite who he works for.

------------

Dr. Rylkir Zarander, Commander, FOSN.
Head of Urgent Care, Star Destroyer Finalizer

Age: 69
Homeworld: Halcyon

Born three years before the Siege of Naboo, Rylkir Zarander has no memory of a galaxy that wasn't either teetering on the brink of war and anarchy, or actually caught in the throes of it--including severe political unrest on his own world that lasted until the rise of the Empire. By the time Zarander was 16, the Galactic Empire ruled, and at age 26, as he was graduating from medical school, the Imperial Navy conscripted him for service in the Imperial Medical Corps, where he served until the fall of the Empire. Zarander experienced a brief stint in the civilian world then, but finding no place for someone like him in the idealistic New Republic, and disgusted with the piracy and slavery that the New Republic never seemed to be able to bring under control, Zarander traveled to the Unknown Regions to serve once more with the people he knew.

During that time, the Imperial remnant morphed from the familiar structure he knew into the First Order, under the rule of Supreme Leader Snoke and a new generation of commanders including General Brendol Armitage Hux II and Commander Kylo Ren. Now, thanks to extraordinary happenings behind the scenes that he can't even begin to guess at, Dr. Zarander has been forced to tolerate a strange medic with incomplete training and hints of instability, who has fallen in with Kylo Ren. Not only does he have to put up with this odd quasi-Knight of Ren for Force only knows what reason, he is now caught near the epicenter of a new faultline in the ongoing battle for dominance between his own boss's boss, General Hux, and the Master of the Knights of Ren...and whoever else might choose to weigh in at any point.
