So I made a 3D character in blender, gave it animation or T-pose in Mixamo, I have an .fbx file, how do I add it to be a playable character in Lyra?
Hi kiraverse1! Welcome to the forums!
Before going forward, are you trying to use new animations or the ones supplied with Lyra? This will determine whether you need to take added steps or not. 
Get back soon and let’s knock this out!

Thank you for replying
I am not trying to use new animations. I am trying to use the ones supplied with Lyra. Because Lyra can crouch, run, dodge, etc and my humanoid 3D character could move like that, if only I can add it to Lyra.
But later on, i may add dances if it will be easy to add dances
The fbx file from mixamo has bones. Do i have to retarget them? I don’t really know what to do
yes
you have to look at the many vids of how to retarget mixamo to unreal
then you have to copy the lyra bp and switch the mesh.
I tried watching several retargeting videos, can you recommend one that works, because I tried and some problems I encountered is I could not find the mannequin folder, or it is for unreal engine 4, or there is a tab that i do not see on my unreal engine, so I always end up unsuccessfully retargeting. Or there are plugins that I do not really know how to install because i double clicked it and it said it could not find unreal engine 5. I do not know where i saved unreal engine 5, is it in program files under epic?
What is bp in lyra bp? Base program?
Hey again kiraverse1!
In this case, BP stands for BluePrint. It looks like we don’t have any official methods nor any mention of Mixamo in our documentation or youtube.
I looked through many, and this was the only non-plugin one I could find. Make sure to check the comments, there is a link to a previous video where he makes something to manually rename all the bones correctly. You’ll want to watch that first.

Ok thank you .
Basically, what i want to do is play Lyra using my own character.
