Patcher - Besh Squad Medic

Profile: Quoll Jomas (Codename: Patcher)

Species: Nautolan

Homeworld: Glee Anselm

Gender: Male

Age: 33

Affiliation: New Republic, Galactic Alliance (Besh Squad)

Formerly an independent and respected doctor, Quoll Jomas enlisted as a field medic for the New Republic military after the hospital he worked with was destroyed by Neo-Imperials. Eventually, he caught the attention of Captain Xadisall Varessi after he saved his squad's lives from almost certain death, prompting the Mirialan to recruit him into Besh Squad as a combat medic under the codename of Patcher.

Having vast knowledge of many sapient species' physiology, this usually-optimistic Nautolan has kept his squad alive in many difficult situations throughout the Yuuzhan Vong invasion, Valkoran War and Forceless War, and saved the lives of many high-profile figures. While he's one of the more normal members of Besh Squad, his use of "bacta bombs" (a bacta-spreading grenade he co-developed with Besh Squad's technologist Boltz) in tricky situations has made other field medics question his competence, as the bombs aren't reliable for direct treatments and sound more like an attempt to apply holo-game healing logic to reality. However, they have worked in a pinch and kept the squad alive until Patcher could apply proper medical treatment.

Some suspect his seemingly-perpetual optimism is actually a mask he puts up to cope with the fact that not only can he not save everyone's lives, his role as an armed medic means he's taken lives too. During the Forceless War, the fact that he has no way of treating Forceless possession is an endless source of frustration for him.

Deciding Patcher's pose and equipment for this piece was tricky, as I needed it to reflect his role in the squad and his personality. So, I decided to give him a bacta sprayer as his prominent tool.

Designs for adult versions of the clone cadets in bad batch as Rebellion leaders

The first weird thing I noticed was that they kept specifying that tbb are "defective CTs", whereas iirc most other clones leave out the "ct" part. additionally, "special training" must have been a reasonably expected occurrence for them, since it was used as the Hemlock-jungle-lab excuse. they're also, oddly enough, the only three survivors from a base full of both cadets and adult clones. and finally, all three of them have noticeably different face shapes.

so my guess for their origins is that they're the results of the kaminoans trying to replicate tbb's mutations in a commando template, making them all specialized CC command cadets. From what we've seen of them, they don't seem to have quite as prominent abilities as say, wrecker or hunter, but are definitely above average to have survived that long.

Anyways the mini-backstory for them here is that they end up joining the rebellion around 5 years later (assuming that they're 6/12 and 8/16 in tbb s3, they would be 11/22 and 13/26 here) as the lead squad for the clone rebel cell after rex, wolffe, and gregor retire (and echo and cody are presumably dead).

Bonus: I originally had Deke's hair as dyed blond, but then he started looking too much like Rex (esp with the jaig eyes and partial arc armor) so I changed it back

edit: sorry i forgot to tag spoilers at first! it has since been fixed

Just noticed that the 3 clones left with Ahsoka in Rebels were from her 3 dads legions and battalions, don't mind me crying in the corner please.

things I want to see in a potential Rex/Clone Spinoff:

I want to know where Cody is???

How did Wolffe leave the Empire and join up with Rex?

What happens to Echo and Emerie?

Why does Rex and the others end up on a desert planet in a walker if they could be living on Pabu or Pantora?

Where is Howzer???

Ahsoka? Maybe?

Time Jump to the rebellion? Showing Rex meeting Luke? Seriously I need to see this

Rex or Echo facing off against Vader without knowing it’s Anakin

OLD MAN REX IN CLONE WARS ANIMATION PLEASE?????

No, I actually don’t want to clarify on this one. 

Sketch for Patcher, Besh Squad's medic.

This Nautolan is the most optimistic member of the squad. While he's a medic and foremost, he's also got some combat training, even if he isn't particularly specialized in it. One of his more unique medical tools are "bacta bombs", which while not the most effective tools for fully treating injuries, they can help out the squad in a pinch.

More new stuff!!!! Clone girlies, the Gregor keychain is in! As are several clone trooper long lanyards that match the last batch of lanyard keychains!

I think these lanyards will look phenomenal with your cosplays! Just saying!

I also have a brand new Ezra Bridger lanyard keychain and a matching long lanyard. And I made an Amidalans lanyard for all the Naboo-Handmaidens-turned-rebels out there!

I hope y’all love these! Shop is here!

So tales of the empire comes out soon! And here’s what I’m hoping will be addressed; echo, Wolffe, howzer, the whole clone rebellion Rex has going on, and not to be too hopeful Cody. Realistically it will probably only show Wolffes defection but it will still be better than nothing.

Beard burn 🔥

Aaaand I'm done. Just a quick Gregor with some Sumatra chickens!

@beeseverywhen, tagging you as you were interested in some clones with chickens (:

Gregor | RC-5576

Clonetober 2022 #19

(＊Gregor is canonically a "CC," but the artist thinks an "RC" Republic Commando designation suits him better.)

lol this thread on reddit about which clone is most like Temuera Morrison in real life has some great answers.

Wrecker would be my choice as well.
