I do whatever i want whenever i want and i only value the things i want when i feel like it so that's probably defining me as "chaotic" as no one knows what i'm going to do in a certain situation.
I can be the guy helping you out with your quest or the one cutting your throat to get your gold so whether i'm good or evil is a view of perspective.

Yeah, but I was talking about how to create a "convincing" character for a narration for a bigger public. Even if a concept or way of thinking is alien to people, they will try to find some "logic" or system behind it at least. So a character acting completely randomly won't "work", because people can't "relate" in any way. To get it work, there must be some motivation to explain the behaviour, a world view, a belief, some character traits, whatever.

That's the hard part - there's no reason behind it, i just feel like doing it. I may do things to cater to someone or something but sometimes i'm just bored, i want to try something or there's even no motivation at all and i'm just doing whatever without thinking about it.
It's hard to explain as folks always need some sort of reasoning but there's none. That's why so many people find it hard to deal with me, i'm just me and they can't get it even if they try.

Khajiit already does on occasion. Bastian is a most heinous of evil ne'er-do-wells.

What did he do? Did he say "darn" or "heck"?

Constantly attempting to change khajiit's behavior and insulting khajiit's motivations while wearing 5 million gold worth of this one's armor and gear is certainly selfish, inconsiderate and rude, at the very least.

Well I honestly first and for most want good written characters that have cohesive behavior, morals and goals. And if changes are made within these that they are the result of proper character development. I also want them to be rooted in the lore.

Good and evil are always from a certain point of few so it does not matter for me for the most part. I just want them to be interesting.

That being said I think we have all the companions we need with a generally speaking "good" moral alignment. So having characters with different moral standards, that are a bit more questionable, might be a welcome breeze of fresh air

Not recommended. There are almost no toilets in this game, anywhere.
