I finished his reference! My sona in Elder Scrolls: Skyrim. His story is below. I've copy-pasted it from the initial sketch, and updated some info I forgot to include or hadn't decided on, yet. A more detailed reference will be made, in the future!

Kodi'ak's parents are nobles in the jungle-region of Elsweyr, and had to go into hiding because they were the only political figures in the province to speak out against the alliance Elsweyr entered with the Thalmor. He lived in seclusion with his parents since he was 16 years old, to avoid assassination. When he turned 20, his parents supported him in running away to Skyrim, where he could build a life of his own far away from the Thalmor of Elsweyr.

Kodi'ak is odd compared to other Khajiit, since most of them are born with patterning similar to housecats, tigers, lions, and other species of feline. Kodi'ak was born with brown fur and unique white striping, unlike others of his kind. He is unaware of what he is until several years after moving to Skyrim, when he discovers the Forgotten Vale and sees animals with patterning like his own. Vale deer and vale sabre cats, who have his brown fur and bright white striping. It is unknown why he is Vale patterned, considering his parents are normal Khajiit, but perhaps it has something to do with being blessed as the Dragonborn by the Aedric god Akatosh (who's elven temple lies within the Forgotten Vale).

Kodi'ak's father Mel'ra is an orange tiger-like Khajiit.

Kodi'ak's mother, Ari'enda is a mountain lion-like Khajiit.

He was quite unsure of his sexuality, since he definitely likes men, but may have been attracted to women, as well. Upon entering Skyrim illegally and almost being killed by the Helgen incident, he joins the Companions guild in Whiterun and quickly forges a strong friendship with Farkas, but slowly develops romantic feelings for him. When he joins the Dawnguard to fight the vampire menace plaguing Skyrim, he meets a vampire named Serana and falls for her. She returned his feelings, but due to her relationship with the Aedric gods, she feels unworthy of marriage and the two remain close friends. Kodiak eventually marries Farkas after several years of adventuring, together, building a house in Falkreath and adopting two children.

He fought for the Empire, and remains a close friend and confidant of Jarl Balgruuf the Greater. He also has a close friendship with Serana, Erik the Slayer, Jarl Idgrod Ravencrone, Serana, Odahviing, Muiri, Ria, and Delvin Mallory. He regards the Dark Brotherhood as his family, and grew a tight bond the members over time, until many of them were killed at the hands of the Penitus Oculatus. He still wears the Nightweaver Ring gifted to him by Festus Krex, never removing it. Arnbjorn's wolf pelt is tucked safely away in a chest in Kodi'ak's home. As the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, Kodi'ak remains close with Nazir, Babette, and Cicero. He highly respects the Greybeards (including Paarthurnax), and despite not following the Way of the Voice as religiously as they do, he respects and admires their dedication to it. He cut off contact with The Blades after they asked him to kill Paarthurnax. He does not regret losing Delphine, but misses Esbern greatly.

He is the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, Companions, and Thieves Guild (although he dislikes many members of the Thieves Guild, he likes Sapphire and Delvin Mallory). He is a member of the College of Winterhold, because he sought knowledge of the Elder Scrolls and magic in general (I finished the quest in my game, but headcanon that Kodi'ak doesn't become Arch Mage because it doesn't suit his character. He is intrigued by magic, but prefers to use basic weaponry.).

Kodi'ak wears Dragonscale armor, and sports two dragon-bone swords. He knows an array of spells, but only uses them when necessary.

The Aedric gods he worships are Akatosh (only fitting, since he's the Dragonborn and Akatosh is the one to thank) and Mara. He does not avidly worship any Daedric gods, but has been gifted with lycanthropy by Hircine and is intrigued by the knowledge Hermaeus Mora has to offer.

Kodi'ak entered Skyrim at age 20, over the span of a year he becomes leader of the Companions and Dark Brotherhood, fulfills his destiny as Dragonborn when he's 22, joins the Dawnguard at 23 and slays Harkon at 24, marries Farkus and adopts children at 25, travels to Solstheim and ends Miraak at 26, and lives out the rest of his life being a hero in the public eye (chasing away bandit groups, slaying attacking dragons, and running errands for townspeople). Around the age of 60, he mysteriously disappears. All that is known is that he slowly became more and more entranced by the Daedric Lord, Hermaeus Mora's black books. His husband, Farkus, raises their children into adulthood, never knowing what became of Kodi'ak.
