Tinkered

The tinkered are a race of mechanical beings gifted in tandem with Mara, Goddess of Innovation and Acron, God of the Soul. The race itself has received many iterations, as they were originally created as soldiers for The Thousand Year War, but now are mechanical beings capable of impressive feats of intellect. Tinkered usually are created by manufacturers or engineers, and rarely find themselves tied to a family or personal connections.
Ability Score Increase: Your intelligence increases by 2, and any other ability score increases by 1.
Age: There are Tinkered whose core have been around since The Thousand Year War, but their memory only has the capacity for around 100 years. A well-managed Tinkered can live forever, as long as proper care is given to updating it when needed.
Alignment: Most Tinkered have a very faint sense of morality, and mostly pursue knowledge. They believe that the mortals initially blessed by Acron should stay in charge of morality. The Tinkered themselves tend to align with lawful disciplines.
Size: The Tinkered are shapeable beings, and as such can be almost any size within their respective range. However, for space concern, Tinkered remains within the Medium size category.
Speed: Your walking speed is 30 feet.
Diligent Thinker: Because of your innate ability to reason and figure out inner workings, if you spend 10 minutes interacting or examining an object, you can advantage on the investigation check at the end of the 10 minutes. Once you reach 8th and 17th level, the time it takes to use this feature decreases from 10 to 5, then 5 to 1 minute.
Wandering Mind: When you take a long rest, you must choose between hearing or seeing, and lose that ability for the rest's duration. However, your mind and the rest of your senses remain active, and can make an intelligence check at the end of an uninterrupted long rest, DC 14, to gain proficiency in a skill you do not possess until another long rest. You can choose to forgo this ability, and instead have all senses remain active, and let your mind ease for the duration.
Varying Design: You gain proficiency in Arcana and Investigation. You also can speak, read, and write common and two languages of your choice.
