Greetings all!
As I'm sure all of you know, during the application process the Namekian race can choose one of three clans, each with their own bonus abilities.
Warrior Caste: Access to Great Namek for free.
Dragon Caste: Access to one of many mystical skills for free, as well as healing.
Mazoku Caste:...nothing
Now, to be fair, the Mazoku Caste are a clan of exiles, so them having nothing sort of makes sense. It feels a bit unfair though, so I'm gonna give out a few suggestions.
A) Mazoku gets to choose from either Warrior or Dragon Caste bonuses to start.
B) Mazoku get to start with a X4 demon ability, like demons get to.
C) Mazoku still get nothing.
Obviously we aren't in the voting phase yet, but these three options are what I came up with for the time being.
Tell me what you think and please add your own ideas to the mix!

Fuck you, I choose C
As said in the staff chat by multiple people; they start with Great Namek (unless someone said otherwise). Great Namek is the Mazoku thing in the series. Piccolo never did it (I think) Forgot both Piccolo Jr and King Piccolo used this form a lot in the original Dragon Ball. You only see a Mazoku do it.
Still. I like A or B. Either or.

Mazoku should (and I believe, currently) get Great Namek so long as they add it in their app under Special Skill. They shouldn't get a x4 demon skill because their transformations are better.

See, this is where the problem of misinformation probably takes part.
I've heard from a few of the older players (Hyoza specifically) that Mazoku don't get GN, which made me wonder what it is they get if anything!
Maybe they do get it, maybe they don't. I do agree that the Demon x4 is a bit OP, but I listed it just because I couldn't think of a better idea while brainstormin

Mazoku cover a rather deserve range of physiologies (from mutant offspring like Cymbal to almost pure-looking namekians like Piccolo Jr), and technically are not a true caste so to speak. You could be a mazoku warrior a mazoku mystic or even a mazoku beast, the only true mark of those who identify as Mazoku is they they are dark outcasts.
If you refer to the character species threads you will actually notice Mazoku is mentioned on the demon page rather than the namekian page. Mazoku technically are classed as demon for this roleplay and such utilise demon abilities and transformations. However, I have always been of the attitude that there's flexibility there, and that someone is also quite welcome to flavour them self as an evil namekian - who identifies in-character as being part of the Mazoku but who physiologically is namekian in race. (it would be a bit silly to say 'no, you can't ever be an evil namekian')
Really I guess it's down to what's on the 'inside', has the demonic influence/heritage mutated you into a true demon, or are you still a namekian(evil though you may be) at heart?

I don't think there should be a Mazoku caste. The only "mazoku" known was King Piccolo and his weird offsprings and that's because he was mostly treated as a demon in the original series, before the namekians were introduced. Probably because it spawned as an embodiment of the Nameless Namekian's evil half. The Nameless Namekian was a dragon clan, as Kami was able to create dragonballs. I believe all mazokus should be a hybrid between namekian/demons and choose either Warrior Clan or Dragon Clan as their namekian half's base template.
