Unfettered Eidolon Racial Traits
Ability Score Modifiers: Unfettered eidolon have one of four base form: aquatic, biped, quadruped or serpentine. Each base form determines ability scores, speed, and other racial traits.
Unfettered Eidolon: Unfettered eidolon are outsiders with the extraplanar subtype. Unlike most living creatures, an outsider does not have a dual nature—its soul and body form one unit. When an outsider is slain, no soul is set loose. Spells that restore souls to their bodies, such as raise dead, reincarnate, and resurrection, don't work on an outsider. It takes a different magical effect, such as limited wish, wish, miracle, or true resurrection to restore it to life.
Darkvision: Unfettered Eidolon can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Evasion (Ex): If an unfettered eidolon is subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, it takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw.
Evolution Points: Unfettered eidolons have a number of evolution points (RP) you can use to purchase abilities and defenses. An unfettered eidolon starts with 8 RP, your base form counts against this.
Unusual Body Type: At the GM’s discretion, armor may cost unfettered eidolon an additional amount due to their unusual body type. 25% more for Light Armor, 50% more for Medium Armor, 75% more for Heavy Armor. Animal barding may be an alternative.

Unfettered Eidolon Feat
Evolution
Bizarre and varied, you continue to evolve and advance on your own, despite the loss of your summoner.
Prerequisite: Unfettered Eidolon
Benefit: You gain an additional 4 (RP) to purchase new evolutions.
Special: You may take this feat once per every four class levels you have attained.
Alternate Racial Traits
Dual Mind (Ex): The connection to your summoner was drastically altered rather than severed. The summoner shares the same body, giving a number of unique abilities. You can delegate various actions and physical processes to the individual minds, allowing it to fight with two weapons simultaneously without any penalties. It can also select two favored classes. The telepathic tangle between its twin consciousnesses makes a unfettered eidolon impervious to mind-affecting effects. This trait replaces evasion.
Another option
Dual Mind (Ex): The connection to your summoner was drastically altered rather than severed. The summoner shares the same body, giving a number of unique abilities. You can delegate various actions and physical processes to the individual minds. Unfettered eidolon gains Two-Weapon Fighting as a bonus feat, regardless of whether or not you meet the prerequisite. Additionally, a unfettered eidolon qualifies to take Improved Two-Weapon Fighting and Greater Two-Weapon Fighting without meeting the Dexterity prerequisite, though you must qualify in all other ways to take these feats. It can also select two favored classes at first level and gain +1 hit point or +1 skill point whenever you take a level in either one of those classes. The telepathic tangle between its twin consciousnesses grants a +2 bonus on Will saving throws. If affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails its saving throw, you can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC; if it succeeds, you are free of the effect (as if you had made the original save). This trait replaces evasion.
This doesn't feel like a homebrew race so much as a whole section of the race guide cut out and pasted into a new section. You're basically creating a whole new race for every individual character, which makes it not much like a race at all.
May as well just use Monster PC rules.
Darn, I guess that sounds like an eidolon.
Languages - why not add the special outsider languages as bonus languages, instead of those belonging to mortal races?
Also nerfs some base abilities, the race has the potential to super overpowered already, I'd ditch evasion.
Base form Ability modifiers look very exploitable, I'd lower those to your standard +2 to any two of the same kind and -2 to any one other.
And in general everything still need balancing and number-jerking for this to work and be fun in a good way, without breaking the system.
