tl;dr: make racial and faction choices more of a "ESO Fashionable!" choice than a build choice for 92% of the player base by tying the choice to the champion system, racial and faction system give 10 and 15 CP that don't count against of cap in skil, charges, or guardians (makes more sense after reading), simplifies comparisons of races for ultra min/maxing while not requiring anything for any particular build.
General Idea:
There are 10 races 3 per the 3 factions and 1 free race, there are 3 guardian consellations with 3 charges and a free constellation. In the champion system the 9 charges (Lady, Steed, Lord; Apprentice, Atronach, Ritual; Lover, Shadow, Tower) are separated by their guardians (Warrior, Mage, Thief). If we make the 5 star serpent constellation (doesn't exist) support the main champion system you give more flexibility to the champion system and to remove a large part of pigeonholing playstyles into certain race choices. This makes makes racial bonuses start to wash out in the long run.
Why the Champion System?
Getting 25 extra points (EP) that CAN STACK on top of your champion points (CP) sounds like a great way to give a your guy a boost! Think of this, if the serpent constellation is counted AFTER the current champion system it would allow for the %ages to naturally bend to the %ages of CP applied to that star. I believe 5 EP should equal 1% of the total bonus after 100 CP have been applied or apply the CP value when CP+EP<=100. This means you could get nearly half the bonus of a currently unattainable bonus (if you have a race and faction that align) or could get 5% extra bonus to a currently maxed star (if you have a race and faction that align). This would not OP any build after CP 100, thus this serves as an immediate lvl 50 bonus.
This could also allow for some fun in Cyrodiil with having only racial, faction cp campaigns. Since these are bonuses, they should be able to be switched for free.
The serpent constellations made up of 5 Unstars. I would use the first 3 unstars to correspond to the 3 Guardians. Those 3 unstars could be divided into a north, south and equator region to align to the 3 charges. Those 3 regions could be divided into 4 zones to align to the 4 constellations in the charge.
The 2 other unstars could just be divided into 3 regions which are either for base race, vampires, or werewolves. My thought would be to give base race a 10 EP investment per star equal to the first 37 CP investment in Elemental Defender in 1 star and Hardy in the other star equaling 12%. For a 10 EP investment per star Vampires get 75% health regen & 6% heal recieved in 1 star and 25 fire resist & 6% heal done. For a 10 EP investment per star Werewolves get +50% all the time stamina regen & when transformation time increases add 1 second in 1 star and +25 poison resist & heal for 5% of bleed damage in the other.
You have a choice of either putting EP in your racial/faction CP equivalents or putting into seperent unstars that help you based on being normal, werewolf or vampirism.
Faction/Racial Bonuses
I would assign Aldmeri to the Mage Guardian as they have the Altmer, I would assign Daggerfall to Warrior Guardian with the Redguard being nomadic and , and Ebonheart would be Thief Guardian. These are given Racial bonuses will be in 4 flavors: (1) Skill Line xp bonus (leave as is), (2) Racial CP bonus (10 bonus CP to Racial assigned charge), (3) Racial resist capped at 5% resist(s) or 1% all and -2% specific resist(s), (4) a racial skill or a 3 rank equivalent of a rank 1 skill passive.

Other Thoughts:
The Any race, Any Faction should unlock assigning the faction points into any Guardian.

✭You put a lot of thought into this.
I disagree with all of it, but I applaud the thought.1
