Yep. Just a little more recognition for the two political entities. I like the idea for their motives, and of course, fighting. (Kehehe.)
I suppose they could form their groups before they start... but if so, maybe we should have different starting points. That way, people can pick and choose slightly so that they're closer to their friends... and one's not in Louisiana while the other is in New York.
If Jay's not the leader, then are you making another character altogether? A Morphski.... or perhaps, a person in the Origin? (Or possibly both?)
I was thinking about the Erasers in Maximum Ride, and that would work much better than the normal werewolf idea. (Although we don't necessarily have to discard such an idea... there's fantasy in fiction, and fiction in science fiction. I'm not sure how to add them into the story, though.) And I suppose the "Erasers" would be able to transform into different creatures, right?
Animal creatures with human minds... huh, I didn't think of that. But that's a good idea... especially for our purposes. And of course, extra limbs. We can't forget those!
So I suppose this brings us back to the plot: A group of people able to transform into an animal form find themselves running for their lives against the Government. There is refuge in the Origin of their species... yet peace is so often far from them. Of course, this story is driven by the minds of the RPGers... but are their any certain events we should add, other than a beginning and ending?
