Drawing of my Khajiit OC in his Skyrim look. Brace yourselves... long description:

Basic information:

Name: Syd'mizar
Race: Khajiit
Breed: Suthay-raht (Thanks to mods. In vanilla Skyrim and ESO, Syd is a Cathay)
Age: Unknown. He was born somewhere between the year 175 and 185 during the 4th Era in a small village near Dune in the Khajiit homeland, Elsweyr.
Height: 5'6ft - 1.73mt
Weight: 128lb
Fur color: Charcoal grey, light grey and black. Note: Black markings appear with his winter coat and are not present in his summer coat.
Eyes: Ice
Noticeable characteristics: His appearance has said to change depending on seasons and location. If Syd finds himself in the far north of Tamriel, his coat will get thicker, he will develop black markings on his face as well as his tail, a thick fur tuft on his head which runs along the back of his neck. The fur on his cheeks will thicken substantially. (Skyrim) More commonly, Syd's fur is known to be very short and shiny solid dark grey, giving him the appearance of a black panther Senche. (ESO)
Weapon of choice: Any good greatsword, as long as it's black. Favorites include Daedric, Ebony and the rare Bloodskal Blade.
Second weapon of choice: Dual daggers. This could be considered Syd's primary weapon choice, mainly because it's what he uses in tight areas and dungeons where he spends most of the time.
Other weapons: Any good bow or crossbow with poisoned arrows or bolts will do.
Magic: Never. Syd does not believe in magic.
Favorite armor type: Reinforced clothes and leather-based light armors.
Alignment: Neutral, but that might vary. Syd can be very unstable due to his horrible past. Syd is very sensitive, he does have a very kind heart, a mellow personality and he's extremely loyal, but he can easily distort reality and immerse himself in his tormented fantasies, making him very unpredictable and dangerous. Syd can be empathetic in one second, and the other he can murder based on his own traumatized logic without any remorse.
Occupation: Full-time adventurer and sellsword. Obtainer of goods, trinkets, odds and ends that people might not miss... Part-time assassin.

Facts and other things:

-Trained by his adoptive Bosmer father to have full control of his own mass. This gives Syd an agility hardly matched even by other Khajiiti. His strenght to weight ratio is also something to be noticed.
-Exceptional archery skills. Another perk earned after being raised by a Bosmer, and highlighted by his superior beast senses. Despite this, Syd rarely makes use of these skills, unless necessary.
-Syd is known for not believing in magic, and despite he has managed to control beginner level electricity-based "spells," he never accepts it, trying to find logical explanations for it.
-Advanced knowledge on mineral tampering and smithing.
-Very avid craftsman, although he prefers to modify already existing apparel.
-Despite his size, Syd has a passion for Greatswords. His training enables him to use the weight of the sword in unison with his own body mass and the planet's gravity in a graceful display of fully calculated movements. Seeing Syd carrying a sword as big as him is quite the view. More surprising is seeing this fragile Khajiit waving it like if it was weightless.
-His mental instability can make Syd either easily manipulated, or extremely dangerous.
-Syd seems to show his good nature permanently when around Khajiiti. He adores his kind and will do whatever he can to be with other Khajiit for as long as possible.
-As a very little cub, Syd's village was ravaged by Bandits. His family killed before his eyes as he was mercilessly raped and left for dead. This past is what conflicts with Syd's natural good nature, making him unstable.
-Syd was saved and cared for by a Bosmeri family that roamed Elswyr. They accidentally came across the ravaged village and little agonizing Syd.
-The same fate was lived by his adoptive family years later, leaving Syd an orphan once again. Imperial soldiers who managed to save most of the village sent him to an orphanage.
-Grelod the Kind was in charge of this orphanage in Cyrodil. She made Syd's life a living hell, often instigating the rest of the orphans to torture Syd and have him as a slave for being a mere "animal" in their logic.
-Being caught by an Imperial Patrol, while he sneaked in the border of Skyrim and Cyrodil in search for food, then being sent to the block without any remorse is what finally triggered Syd's psychopathic behaviour.
-With time, Syd managed to calm down and actually make a peaceful living in Skyrim, until he once visited Windhelm and heard the rumors of what happened in the Arentino Residence... When speaking with this child, he heard a name that pierced his soul, letting out the horrible memories that once tormented him. That finally broke Syd...
-Syd managed to calm his anger once the Emperor was dead. He once again felt remorse and sought to redeem himself for all the lives he took. After the Alduin incident, it was rumored that Syd managed to defeat a vampire lord, as well as a rouge Dragonborn, saving many from evil.
-Syd retired in peace, with his best friend J'zargo, until an unfortunate event following the experiment of the now lost college mate Arniel, fueled by their curious nature, made Syd disappear from Tamriel.

...No one knows what ever happened to Syd'mizar. J'zargo spends his days, trying to find out what went wrong and bring his friend back... It was strange, but rumors of ancient books and annals of history seemed to be changing. Far back in the Second era, nearly one thousand years in the past, a mysterious black Khajiit was said to stop the evil doings of the Daedric prince Molag Bal, saving Tamriel in the process. Could it be? Could Syd have traveled back in time?
