Where do you see your Dovahkiin in ______ years?

The game is basically over and Skyrim is more or less at peace. What will your dragonborn be up to years following the endgame? Many of us took very different paths that would shape the world differently. If your Dragonborn is a vampire, an elf of some sort, or a sufficiently powerful Mage this could be a pretty long time.

I'll start with my standard dragonborn:

Here's his description:

-Redguard

-Legionnaire

-Preferred skills:

----One Handed Weapons

----Smithing

----Heavy Armor

----Enchanting

----Restoration

----Speech

-Destroyer of the Dark Brotherhood

-Harbinger of the Companions

----Lycanthropy

-Dawnguard faction

-Arch Mage of the College of Winterhold

-Champion of Hircine, Azura, and Merida

-Married Lydia

-Adopted Alesan

-Bought the property in the Dawnstar hold.

-Spared Paarthurnaax

Not much different. I can see him getting some recognition for his service to the empire (destroying the DB and winning the Civil War) but mostly "business as usual" (slaying Dragons, selling and enchanting weapons for money, doing mercenary work). Maybe he'll start training Alesen as an apprentice in certain crafts. Probably add to the house beyond the limits in the game and hire more Housecarls/servants from the followers. Builds statues of Talos everywhere to spite the Thalmor (who he takes out the time to slay whenever he sees one).

Actually settles down with Lydia and fathers a few children. The house is basically a huge fortress now and all of the Hold's housecarl's function as the "security system". Skills as a Mage have been honed (mostly enchanting and restoration however). Gives training to budding young Warriors to keep his fighting skills on point. Rebuilds Winterhold to its former glory to improve relations with the College.

I would say that his skills as a mage (particularly master/legendary Restoration abilities) have preserved his youth. He spends a lot of time with Paarthy, the Greybeards, and Knight-Paladin Gelebor and becomes more in touch with peace and non-violence. Mean while his children have taken over the family business in Mage/Warrior training. The fortress in the Dawnstar hold becomes comparable to castle Dawnguard.

He's no longer involved in the companions and has cured himself of his Lycanthropy. His last act of violence (so he declares) was transporting himself to Hircine's realm (along side Kodlak and the summoned Harbingers of the past) to harrow the hunting grounds. Upon returning to Nirn, he declares himself committed to non-violence. He still hold's the title of being the Arch Mage of Winterhold.

What about you guys? What will your Dovahkiin be up to in the future?

This sounds interesting. :) First a quick summary of my character.
Baragon Draconis:
A Breton living in Cyrolid with his father is sent to study magic at the College of Winterhold. He reluctantly agrees as he is more interested in the art of swinging an age despite being gifted with magic from a young age. After this you know how the Dragonborn's story goes.

1 year:
The college of winterhold grows in membership, likely stemming from the Dragonborn's fame. Baragon, appetite for knowledge whetted by Hermaus Mora, starts research on his black book collection. His children are taken care of by his steward in his absence.

5 years:
The college has grown substantially, people flock from all over Tamriel to learn more about magic and some just to meet the Dragonborn of song. The increases commerce improves conditions in winterhold and the rebuilding of the town has already started. Baragon is often seen retreating to his quarters for many hours at a time.

10 years:
Winterhold is a bustling city, filled with mages free to practice their art. A statue of Baragon is built in the center of town to commemorate the impact he made. He is not seen by the public nearly as much as he used to and is locked in his study for days at a time. Despite this, he continues to run the college well.

20 years:
Bargon goes missing and is replaced as Arch mage. It is felt as a great loss to the college but they continue without him and honor his memory.

50 years:
A figure is spotted over the sea of ghosts. The body of a man suspended by enormous tentacles striding toward the collage. All of skyrim is enslaved under the rule of the last dragonborn.
