Race: Mentaloid

• A Mentaloid is a being created when excess power seeps into a damaged or weakened part of another beings mind. The power begins to form a consciousness that slowly grows stronger until it overtakes it's host's body. After taking over the host's body, a Mentaloid seeks out and absorbs natural energy to make up for the defects of their own mental state until their mind is complete. The exact abilities of a Mentaloid are dependent on the amount and kind of energy of their original host that created them, though are usually very simple, but costly due to the comparatively small energy storage they have.
  
  • IMPORTANT: Tyra is unaware of what she is.

Flaws:

• Reacts on instinct

• Too sympathetic
  

General Personality: Tyra is an enigma. She is not anti-social, but has difficulty keeping up conversations due to her migraines. Tyra doesn't like to see other people get hurt, and is very sympathetic to the painful experiences of others.

Abilities:

• Weapon Materialization: The lowest tier ability Tyra possesses, Tyra is able to materialize a seemingly infinite number of weapons. These weapons are all made of an unusual type of metal alloy, the origin of these weapons is currently unknown, and Tyra has the capability of altering the properties of the metal alloy the weapons are made from in order to better suit certain conditions; such as making it resistant to electricity or cold.
  
• Energy Barrier:Also a low tier ability, Tyra can create an almost invisible energy barrier that is capable of withstanding forces near 1 Newton, although as she consumes more energy in battle, the barriers are progressively weakened.
  
• Molecular Manipulation: A higher tier ability, Tyra is capable of altering her body into a dust-like cloud that she can move and reform into her. While in this state, Tyra is impervious to all forms of attack, but can wear her out quickly after a few uses.
• Timeflow Manipulation: The highest tier ability Tyra has, this allows Tyra to change the timeflow of her own body, making her move several times faster than usual. Of course, as a higher tier ability, this ability also is very draining on Tyra's mind and body.

Weaknesses:

• Tyra can only use one energy barrier at a time (although its size can vary)
  
• Tyra's Manipulation abilities are very draining on her mind and body, only able to use them 5 or 6 times in 1-2 second bursts in battle before running completely on empty. (use of the abilities for longer periods of time result in a greater loss of energy)
  
• She has constant Migraines. (though when focused can usually weather through them)
• Tyra has a memory recall block that makes it impossible for her to remember anyone or anything that she is not presently looking at.

Family/Friends/ect.:

• ~Unknown~ (To be developed through Roleplay)
  

Three Important Things about my character and/or her history:

• Since coming to this world, Tyra has been searching for someone she knew in her past, although due to her mental recall block, cannot remember anything about him unless she actually sees him. Completely preoccupied with this goal, she spends very little time dwelling in any one location.
  
• Tyra is capable of vaguely recalling events of her life if she sees someone going through a similar experience, but this causes her migraines to become severe.
  
• Tyra fights completely on instinct, this allows her to react swiftly to any action, no matter how surprising it may be. This works to her advantage most of the time, as she would likely be very poor in combat otherwise, but in extreme situations can work to her disadvantage if she instinctively uses her Manipulation abilities to dodge too many times.
  

History:
At some point in Tyra's past there was a man she was apparently connected to. She cannot recall the details of this man, but knows she is meant to find him, and so searches tirelessly for him. (To be further developed through Roleplay)

Player Handle: Tyra
Roleplay Experience: Many years

Sorry for the delay in response to this (We aren't that active at the moment x.x)

My only real problem with this bio is the lack of a race description. Its fine to have the character not know what they are. (I have a character that doesn't know what race he is) but you can't just leave that blank in the bio just because the character herself doesn't remember what she is. Please put a detailed description of the character's race and its strengths and weaknesses. You can just make a side note under that that she doesn't know what she is, or you can put that down in important notes.

As for your character's abilities they need a few tweaks to at least somewhat balance that out. First off, the Energy barrier is pretty OP sounding on its own. It would be best to limit how many times she can use it in a fight to protect herself. I would also like to lower the limit to the Time manipulation uses as well, 5-6 feels too much for something that is potentially that powerful.

Again I apologize for the wait for this reply, make the changes if you can and I will try to get back to this in a more timely matter.

Alright, I see your points, let me just check a couple things before I make the changes.

I can add the race, but it is an original race of my own design, so is that an issue?

As for the abilities, Tyra's abilities all run on a personal energy stock that is also meant to increase as her Roleplay develops, but the biggest issue is that her actual battle skill is not that great, so her instincts are a big part of both her strength and weakness, which is why she needs the abilities she has.

The issue with the energy barriers is that I had this ability slated to be used most often because Tyra is not that fast without Timeflow manipulation, so if I made them consume so much energy they had a limit on it's use, I know you said it seems OP, but without it it would actually be TOO easy to beat her. So as a compromise, what if instead of a limit on the number of times it can be used, I add a limit on the amount of force it can withstand without breaking?

And as for the Manipulation abilities, I think I just failed to elaborate enough. 5-6 is a total limit on both Manipulation abilities, and their usage is in short bursts. A single use isn't meant to be capable of staying active for 30 seconds. A single use normally means pretty much just a 1 second burst, maybe 2 second. If Tyra used it longer than that, it would drain more energy, and therefore could be used less times in battle. Is that explanation sufficient?

Hey, its Akee again....on a different account this time XD

To answer your questions...

Yes, you are free to use the race of your own design. Most people (me included) sometimes create their own races so there is no problem at all doing so. Just give a detailed description of what they are, what they are capable of, and what are their flaws and you are good to go.

As for the limitations for your character, my concerns aren't mainly of how you might abuse them, but how others might do so if they make a character of the same race. While your character might be considerably weak in combat without these abilities others might not think of doing the same thing. That's normally my line of thinking when it comes to ask for more limitations. Its easy enough to solve if you request that the race you made be restricted. That being said its not required of you to do this, I am sure we can work around that just fine ^^

The compromise for the energy barrier is pretty good. And your explanation of how the manipulation powers work also helps with the matter. Add the same explanation to the weaknesses section and I think you are good to go.

Alright, I've made the changes, and yes actually, I would like to make the Mentaloid a restricted race.
