I'm making a character bases around avak. what race should I choose?

[Aderia]

Chaotic Neutral half-orc Artificer (artillerist subclass), if I had to choose off the top of my head and with limited DnD experience.

Maybe not the most efficient combination, but I think the Artificer class covers Avak's penchant for fighting with gadgets and weapon mods, and it gives him access to some spells, since the Skakdi species have eye beams and some kind of mind power that varies on individuals.

That is a pretty solid build idea. Admittedly with the new "Custom Lineage" rules in Tasha's Cauldron of Everything I am not sure if we would have to stick to a half-orc or orc, we could kitbash a Skakdi into the game easily now at least. A Warforged could also maybe work due to their biomechanical nature. Artificer does make sense as a class for the limited magic and tech stuff though.
