Having read someone else's suggestion about a possessed armor race, I got the idea to expand upon something like that.

I'm talking about a poltergeist race. They have relatively low health, with okay magic and melee damage.

The important part, though, is mobility.

While completely unarmored (absolutely nothing in the armor slots, no vanity legs either) Poltergeists can just float around similarly to someone on the bumblebee mount, with higher movement speed. While completely vulnerable to damage and incapable of having armor abilities, they have the ability to fly for reasonable periods of time. However, Upon putting one piece of armor on, they lose the ability to fly, and instead start featherfalling. Any more armor pieces puts you back on normal gravity. They could also get bonus armor off their armor, as an incentive to actually wear the stuff and allow them to function as tanks when they wear armor, weakening their magic damage.

Spriting it should be easy, as you could just take the human sprites, make them transparent, and then throw on a little ghost tail for when they're wearing no armor or touching the ground.
