This first post will basically just be an info dump. I'm not sure if I used the correct prefix for this, but it may not be entirely important.
I'm looking for honest feedback on how to develop this idea into something more concrete and clear in terms of plot and setting. Over the years I've learned that RP's that start with more concrete plot initially are more likely to last longer, versus those that give all the players too much freedom the entire time.
So any help with cleaning this up and making it more formal/clear would be very much appreciated.

Pedigree/Purebloods: Born of two werewolf parents, no humans in bloodline except in very few and extremely rare cases. These members are usually discriminated against, yet still accepted. Ancient and well established pack, organized. More control over shifted forms. Live communally with a very strict social hierarchy. Alphas - Soldiers - Hunters - Scouts. Generally divided by skill proficiency and body type. Bloodline over most everything determines this usually. Generally stronger and more comfortable in wolf body and prefer to fight in that form. Alpha is older and dying from mortal wound, needs to pass on leadership.
Mutts/Dogs: Humans who've been turned. Occasional humans who chooses to live with and help them. Newer pack and generally dysfunctional, disorganized. They have less control after shifting. Tend to try and stay with human partners and continue living more for their human life if they still have one. Don't generally live communally. Generally stronger and more comfortable in human body and tend to fight in that form. Alpha is pregnant and introducing new pups to the pack, question of if bloodline trumps seniority.
Two main packs fighting over city and hunting territory. Cross pack romance rarely happens, most members of both are hateful and prejudiced against each other. Some loners roam the city, most loners are intentionally that way.
Turning occurs when werewolf saliva or blood enters the human bloodstream directly, usually through a bite. Transformation from human to werewolf is long and painful, if the human survives they remain a werewolf going forward. Humans don't always survive. Alternatively a werewolf will be born from two werewolf parents. A werewolf and a human will almost always create a human baby, but there have been very few exceptions. Generally mortal, wounds recover faster. Senses heightened, increased strength and agility in human form. Aging continues, but slowed. Anthro form is possible, but generally avoided by both factions. Control isn't easy in this form, usually happens mid transformation in a fit of rage or extreme emotion. Any shift takes time as organs and bones rearrange themselves, no Twilight instant shifting. Partial shifting is possible for those who have much control and practice over it. Just eyes, just teeth, just claws, etc. More extreme partial shifts that require a change in body form like wolf head on a human body are not possible.
Possible plot lines: Alpha rivalry. In-pack rivalry. Human hunters. Den discovery. Cross-Pack romance. Pack infiltrators. Loner chaos.
All writers will choose one pack to play as. This pack will have the main perspective as they attempt to wipe the other out after a catalyst.
