Custom races are allowed. If it's a totally original race rather than a hybrid combo of races(which is also very much allowed and even encouraged given the setting) just make sure it fits organically into the setting and doesn't step on the toes of the lore or try to claim undue importance.
Laka as for your question, I'm not entirely sure what you mean by limitations but as long as the above is done and they aren't OP or have some kind of trait that gives them undue advantage then you should be good.

I might add the optional bits to my apps later, who knows.
Name: Ajax Wallace
Species: Human
Gender: Male
Age: 24
Appearance: 1, 2, 3 - Six feet four inches tall.
Occupation: Red Guard medic
Abilities:Weaknesses:
- Advanced medical training and knowledge
- Basic hand-to-hand combat skills
- Extensive knowledge of Mars culture and history, as well as of Olympia's various districts
- Tharasite: Savior - Ajax's Tharasite has the straightforward yet incredibly valuable ability to nullify pain and restore any organism to pristine condition through touch. The length of this process varies depending on the severity of the injuries sustained by the organism in question, but the effect is powerful enough to restore limbs and even heal fatal wounds if used on time. In addition, while he cannot use this ability on himself, Ajax's Tharasite passively sustains him, reducing his need for rest, food and water, keeping him alert and aware at all times, making him exceptionally resistant to disease and toxins, and giving him an extremely high resistance to pain.
Bio: Ajax was born as the third son of Arthur Wallace, latest head of a long lineage of proud soldiers. The Wallace's were one of the oldest families in Olympia, dating back to the early colony days, and though they had seen better days since the Sol Rebellion, they remained one of the most important as well. Ajax was raised in the family home in the Cliffs neighborhood in Red Town - while most other prestigious folk opted to move to the Peak, a location more in accordance with their status, Arthur and his forebears had always believed in remaining close to the people, and that was Red Town, the largest and most populated district... as well as the more dangerous and impoverished. Thus, from a young age Ajax learned about the inequality, the perils and the hardships that plagued that place, along with Olympia and Mars as a whole.
- Specialization - Combat is not Ajax's focus. As such, while he has trained to the point where he can likely handle an unaugmented street thug, anything more than that is likely to be too much for him to take on without backup. He also can't shoot to save his life.
- Tharasite: Savior - As mentioned, Ajax's Tharasite requires touch in order to work. More specifically, skin contact with the patient must be maintained throughout the entire healing process in order for it to work, or any progress made will quickly revert upon loss of contact. In addition, this ability has diminished effects on certain diseases as well as conditions that are the result of aging and natural deterioration. As mentioned, he cannot heal himself, so while his Tharasite keeps him in top working order at all times, it isn't much help if he does get hurt. Lastly, while the Tharasite greatly diminishes his physical need for things like food and sleep, it does little to alleviate the psychological need for them.
Much like his brother and sister as well as his father before him, Ajax was raised in a very disciplined environment, hearing about the military exploits of the previous generations and being encouraged to follow in his footsteps. However, it was apparent early on that there was different from his siblings. His temperament was much calmer, his demeanor more peaceful, and his curiosity was aimed at different subjects. This trend was concerning, but ultimately his father figured he would get over it and accept his duties when the time came. At the age of 16, two years after his brother and five after his sister, Ajax inherited one of several Tharasites that had been in the family for generations. His uncle, a retired combat medic famous for saving countless lives during the ill-fated Battle of Pirate's Bay, left him the Savior, as they called it, a Tharasite with the power to heal others.
A year later, Ajax finished basic education, and it became apparent that he had no intention of pursuing a career in the military or in similar institutions. This was uncommon, and Arthur was far from pleased, but ultimately it was not unheard of - across the years there had been a few like him, who simply did not have the same calling. His older sister Jean had gone enlisted in the Mars Defense Force to protect the colony against pirates and criminals, and his older brother Hector had opted to go into the Olympia Police Department managed by the Mars Colonial Government, so Arthur figured that he could indulge his youngest child and offered him an alternative: to study medicine at Tharsis Academy. It was a good match for someone with his abilities and offered him the possibility to help people directly, which made him more than happy to accept.
The young man spent the next six years of his life studying at Tharsis Academy. Due to his particular abilities, he was accepted into a special course designed to educate and train up and coming doctors in a shorter amount of time than usual, in order to allow them quick access to the medical industry so that they can begin helping people as soon as possible. This, in addition to taking various classes centered around Tharasite training, made his schedule extremely busy, more so even than that of his peers, which made it difficult to meet people and make new acquaintances. However, the discipline he had learned at home and his own academic prowess allowed him to pull through with stellar grades.
Of note is the fact that, during his time in the Academy, Ajax became exposed to new ideas and various political views and opinions. This eventually led him to fall in with the Free Mars Caucus, a group of activists - as far as he was aware - that tried to raise public consciousness about the injustices carried out against the people of Mars by the Confederation. He spent several months during his second to last year at the Academy going to meetings and rallies in his free time, culminating in a large protest at the Peak that turned violent due to the efforts of a group of agitators. While he managed to avoid arrest, Ajax got in trouble with the Academy's administration due to his participation in such events, and this, along with various conversations with his family, resulted in him ending his brief stint with the Caucus.
At the age of 23, Ajax graduated from Tharsis Academy with a degree in medicine and immediately began working at a local hospital to get some much needed experience. However, not long after he turned 24, the commander of the newly formed Red Guard, Kira Mathers, reached out to him with an offer to join. Seeing an opportunity to help out more - and being slightly pressured by his father, who was extremely pleased to hear about this offer - Ajax accepted and began working as a medic for the Red Guard.
Equipment:
- A pair of gloves capable of unleashing electric shocks of varying intensity.
- An arm-mounted directional energy field projector.
- A well-stocked medical kit.

If they use Earth days, then obviously, the dawn will be 40 minutes later every day and the time of the day has no relation to the position of the sun...
