To compensate for essentially being a class feature, ask for hit dice at every level, not 15/20, and for full BAB and standard saving throw progression. Throw in, say, 1 extra Evolution point per level, plus the ability to change your Evolution Pool investments each day.Since the Eidolon is sort of a race in itself, I'd start with the standard Human racial benefits (+2 to an attribute, extra feat, extra skill points), plus the Eidolon's darkvision etc. Also, you should be an Outsider (Native), so that a Dismissal spell doesn't ruin your whole day.You might also want to talk about having a Humanoid form you can pretend to look like when you're not in your "battle form". Being a flying snake creature with six arms might make shopkeeps and quest givers a little freaked out. Make it as strong as the Alter Self spell, only it can make you a Humanoid even though you're an Outsider, but you always assume the same appearance.So, is that close to something you'd want to play?</blockquote>
