Alright, wanted to add some more information that I have been working on. Not everything in here is necessarily final. Also, anything that definitely seems wrong or needs to be more fleshed out, feel free to point it out. The numbers, of population and power levels, also may change but I wanted something basic down at least before I move further. If anyone is looking to play a race not listed, just let me know and I can add that one in. Next I will begin working on a list of techniques and in depth racial abilities.
Humans
Humans in the Dragonball universe are a bit sturdier than real humans but are essentially frail creatures in comparison to the rest of the races. They share all of our characteristics and are a varied species. Hair and eye colors can be outlandish for the real world. Some humans in this world seem to be missing features, such as a nose, or carry additional, like a third eye. I am also considering the anthromorphic races on Dragonball's Earth under human. Humans as a whole are social creatures, most live in one of several large cities. Nearly all of the rest that live outside the cities, still live in small towns. There are a few that choose entirely to hermit themselves away. Work for the humans is mostly done by the android population in the cities, though the small towns and hermits enjoy the older lifestyle. Most of human architecture and design seems to be circular or spherical. Their cars are now automated, their ships can fly across the universe and giant teleporters to move things instantaneously. Most of the human race is really weak, but the race is capable of reaching the lower heights of power. Still few humans ever break above a power level of one hundred. In response to their physically weak nature, the humans have created a number of devices to assist them in battle, namely the race of androids. Still there are a few that practice both the martial and the mystical arts.

Saiyans
Traditionally, all Saiyans have black hair and eyes, but mingling with the humans has expanded the colors that can be expressed. To be recognized as a Saiyan one must be at least 1/64, which is evidenced from birth by a prehensile monkey tail. They are humanoid in form and color, but nearly all Saiyans have a muscular build. Saiyans are a stubborn and arrogant but noble race, that lives almost entirely within the headquarters of Capsule Corp. There is no technology nor architecture attributed to the Saiyan race, as nearly all of them spend their time raising the family and training. All of their needs are provided by Capsule Corp, in return for the Saiyan's promise to protect Earth. The Saiyan race is a strong one, naturally gifted with a genetic trait called Zenkai. This trait allows them to greatly increase their power level after a brush with death, though the wounds cannot be self-inflicted. Another ability of the Saiyan race is to transform on a full moon, into a giant monkey called an Oozaru. The only problem with Oozaru is that it can take years for a Saiyan to learn to control themselves while transformed. Due to that reason, many Saiyans choose to have their tail cut off.
Home Planet: Earth
Average Base PL: 200
Average Life Span: 100 Years.
Abilities: Oozaru, Zenkai
Estimated Population: ~300
Androids
Androids can be as varied as the humans that ordered them, as they are custom designed for each person. Still each android is humanoid in form. Nearly all of the androids were created by Royal Robotics and carry their logo. There are two very distinct models though, evidenced by size. The home model is roughly the size of a human, while the industrial model is more often ten foot or taller. As an artificially created race, the androids have no architecture, technology or culture of their own. Most of the race has a rudimentary instruction and task based AI, but a few have either gained or been created with a more sentient AI. Such androids, are more often someone's personal companion android or a random inventor's attempt. Androids are fairly tough machines and those designed by Royal Robotics come with two basic abilities. The first is an analytical ability called Energy Reading, which allows the android to deduce a being's power level. The second ability is a self-destruct mechanism, which only a handful of people know about.
Home Planet: Earth
Average Base PL: 100
Average Life Span: 15 Years
Abilities: Energy Reading, Self Destruct
Estimated Population: >100,000
Namekians
These green beings seem to have properties similar to plants and slugs. Hairless, their heads are adorned with antennae and their ears are pointed. Resistant to cold, thanks to a thick and durable skin, Namekians need only water and air for sustenance. Their senses are very acute, particularly their hearing. Inherently this species is peaceful, with Namekians following either the Warrior or the Dragon Clan. One route trains the body for combat, the other practices the more mystical arts. Some Namekians succumb to the darkness and become part of the Demon Clan, which often have fighting properties of both clans. They are a relatively strong people, able to regenerate as long as their head is intact. Namekians can extend their limbs out.
Home Planet: New Namek, Earth
Average Base PL: 500
Average Life Span: 500 Years
Abilites: Regenerate, Limb Extension
Estimated Population: ~400
Makaioshin
A powerful race of evil deities that call the Demon Realm home, a plane that exists below the Mortal Realm. They can come in all shapes, sizes, colors and forms but the strongest are often humanoid with red colored skin, horns and pointed ears. Each of them can have very unique abilities. As a species they have the ability to influence the hearts of mortals, drawing out the evil in them.
Home Planet: Demon Realm, New Namek
Average Base PL: 40,000
Average Life Span: Immortal
Abilities: Can influence the evil in the hearts of others, Each has their own unique ability.
Estimated Population: 10
Arcosians
Inherently the strongest race in the mortal realm, the Arcosians are naturally ruthless and cold. Living without mercy, they are petty and spoiled, yet extremely disciplined. Most of this race are born at their power levels, never training to fight, only gaining that experience from actual combat. The power they are born with is usually too much for them and their early days are used to train them to transform, containing their power. There species is few in number, counting on slaves a minions to do their bidding. Extremely resilient, this race can put themselves into a sort of coma that does not require them to eat, drink or breathe.
Home Planet: Arcose
Average Base PL: 25,000
Average Life Span: 300 Years
Ability: Transformations, Stasis
Estimated Population: ~100
Majins
As the youngest of the races in the Dragonball universe, not a lot is known about this species. They come in a wide variety of colors and are able to change their humanoid shaped body in various ways. Devoid of ears, nose and hair, Majins have antennae on their head that often resemble horns or hair. Like the Namekians, the Majin race can regenerate but it does not require the head, as long as there is any significant portion of the being left.
Home Planet: Earth
Average Base PL: 3,000
Average Life Span: N/A
Ability: Body Manipulation, Regeneration
