Homebrew Free willed Skeleton Species Details

A creature that has lost its life essence which has now been reawakened by an external force. This external force can range from a being trying to control you to an event which is completely unrelated to the undead humanoid. After being dead your memory has been lost. You may know facts and other basic knowledge like reading and writing, but you have no memories of your days as a living creature. Whilst your body is only a skeleton you are able to mimic living creatures abilities through magic. The abilities you can mimic are sight, hearing, smelling, and feeling. You are unable to taste but you are able to speak thanks to magic replacing your tongue and lips.
