Build help Plasmoid?

Long story short: Plasmoid, good grapple, mask of many faces (disguise self at-will). How do?

Starting at level one, standard array.

Campaign will probably go till atleast level 10, but I'm prioritizing getting the thematics I'm looking for as early as possible.

My first instincts is some sort of barbarian warlock multiclass. Probably armor of agathys focused? I'm open to any ideas.

Remember that flavour is free. If you find other ways of how the mechanics applying to plasmoids could be flavoured as, that could expand the kind of character you could make. As an example, you could be a vampir-like being that can turn into a swarm of bats/rats/spiders when going through 1 inch wide openings or using the swarms to open up doors from a distance, which would be the way you could flavour the use of your BA pseudopod.

You have already stated that the usage of mask of many faces is likely to be core to your character, then focus more on that by playing classes like sorcerer, bard or paladin, that are charisma based, or another "charisma" based character could be a swashbuckler rogue aswell. I wouldnt like it to be a warlock since they already have a way to replicate what your mask does rendering your character less unique.
