Hi there! A quick query into whether or not you guys think more races should be added to begin with. Thanks!

Androids/Cyborgs, as well the biological beings are handy capable of being basic character races, given the discretion of how they're made of course.
Other races, like Majin and Legendary Saiyans, should be implemented as races available after certain plots. They can either be temporarily open or be permanent additions to the races, either options being readily available. What COULD be done as well, if plots lead it to this certain point, all races could become restricted for plot reasons. Say, demons successfully conquered the realm of the living and did genocidal attacks on each of the races, causing small numbers to show up, even to the point of effecting the player basis. At the same time, Demons could get a temporary restriction release (if they are currently restricted at the time) and allow players to make more demon characters.
Well, those are my thoughts on the last option. Cyborg, androids of biological and metallic categories, as well as biological hybrids should be allowed, but with careful supervision.

It would be kinda cool if every race got an equivalent to the legendary saiyan. Saiyans - Legendary saiyan Namekian - Demon namekian? (super namekian is kinda already in use) Arcosian - Ascendant arcosian Demon - Makaioshin Shinjin - Kaioshin Alien - alien prodigy? Android - Bio-android Majin - Pure Majin Human - raw manliness and ultimate example of human perfection, President Bao ------------- In all honesty though, if we list all races, demons would actually be higher on my 'save for later' list than some/most of these. From a game designer perspective, If we were wanting to make some sense of progression, and have new races unlocking as some sort of exciting progress for the overall game, i would group: start -
| when another planet is introduced - | when otherworld/demon realm is introduced - | > humans > namekians > saiyans > aliens [animal-people?] > androids | > arcosians > bio-androids > (other android types?) > new alien types > (legendary saiyan?) | > demons > shin > majin > (and possible others like Heran's and Makyans) |
---- HOWEVER! you also gotta balance giving newcomers the options the want, as a lot of the time people come in with a character type already decided. For example, if they want to make a majin and this place doesn't offer it, they'll probably just try to find a place that does instead. Already somewhat bold that we only have earth listed as a location, don't wanna drive people off. At the very least, androids would be a must for starting. My vote goes to androids, bio-hybrids, and Dragonball Online style ('domesticated') majins making for some good options. Legendary super saiyan isn't really needed, though it would be cool if down the track we give a few variants of existing races, which largely follow the same transformations and stuff, but slightly modified with perhaps special racial abilities as fitting; such as giving different android types (energy absorber, cyborg, robotic), namekian (dragon caste, warrior caste, demon caste) or indeed saiyan (low class, elite, legendary) to list a few options.

Well, the thing is Earth has many things to offer. At later stages in the manga there were more masters, training methods, and simply a larger populace for the planet itself making it the place that was most connectable with in the series. That said, an unlocking system would be nice to have. It could very well be applicable to techniques, as our current attack list system is already showing. You can develop a simple fire ball for example as an attack and eventually give it the power of the corona in sun. Races might be fun working that way for those we already do not have listed.
