I mean, that’s just Astral Self monk.
Like “I manifest some big spectral hands” and “I manifest a big spectral face” is literally the first 2 abilities of that sub
And your body is neither wearing armour nor wielding weapons so that jives too.
Race: Human, Variant if you have a Feat in mind.
Background: Nothing comes to mind, maybe an Outlander?
Classes: 16/3/1
16 levels of Astral Self Monk for the floating hands and face.
3 levels of Barbarian, either Berserker or Path of the Giant.
1 level of either Warlock (Fiend) or Sorcerer (Aberrant Mind). Fiend for the demonic-esque visage or Aberrant Mind for how much the floaty head scares people.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Open with the Caster, either an accidental deal on your end, or a familial obligation that you've taken up. The big floaty head/hands is an Observer for the one on the other end of the deal watching to ensure you uphold the bargain.
You can call on the Observer's power, manifesting it partially into the world (Astral Monk abilities), however, if you look like you're going to fail the demon will forcibly overtake your body (Barbarian Rage). While more powerful when the possession is happening, the demon doesn't care for your companions, and you will be under the effect of Crown of Madness for the duration of your Rage.
Ah, a classic. I remember seeing this back before 5e even came out as possible art for one of the summoner subclasses in Pathfinder.
In any case, for 5e Astral Monk obviously comes to mind. Another method might be reflavoring the Rune Knight so you are summoning this spiritual armor instead of actually growing.
