But what about the 'Children of Gaia' guys dude? The happy go lucky werewolves who just want everyone to get along?

1. A faction that sees their transformations as a curse and seek to eliminate the other 4, then themselves whilst trying to find a cure and very corrupt.

Would be better if they weren't corrupt. It doesn't make much sense that a bunch of paladin-style guys would be corrupt if they see what they are as evil and use that curse to kill the other things they see as evil. I mean anyone can be corrupt, sure, but why would these guys be corrupt to such a degree?

2. A faction that would be brutes and would stay in their wolf forms at all times ravage the countryside.

Doesn't seem like a faction to me. Sounds like mindless savages. More like what happens if you go mad or some sort of strange philosophy that is better to be a monster than a man.

3. A faction that tries to be civil and only morph when absolutely neccesary trying to be as human as possible. Very disciplined fighters.

Why only when neccesary, why trying to be so human? Do they not like their werewolf nature? What makes these guys so different from the first guys (aside from not actively hunting them down)?

4. A faction that shies away from the general werewolf populace and uses their abilities to steal and assasinate as they see fit, mercenaries and selfish.

I'm liking this one. It makes sense and is markedly different from the other guys.

Flesh them out though. Why are they like this? Do they worship some god of murder and theft? Is it purely physical greed? Think about how they can be more interesting and unique.

5. Rogue werewolfs that have completely lost touch with their humanity, just like animals and cannot speak, they attack on sight.

I'm confused. How are these guys different from faction 2, aside from being even worse monsters?

You'd start as a human that would start to choose your actions, eventually heading to the woods where you would be attacked by a rogue werewolf and then you'd pass it off as an animal attack and then you'd awake the next morning (being it a fullmoon that night) and your village would be slaughtered and in ruins and a represenative from each faction would contact you, there making your choice. From there you would choose your destiny and seek out to defend, destroy, or govern all werewolfs. Or just live off your days as human as possible.

How to improve this:

1. Start with the attack, this is far more exciting. It's a good hook, so to speak.
2. Have the drawing into werewolf society be more gradual, being introduced to each faction as you go along, one at a time rather than the somewhat implausible scenario that all five take an interest in you (including the ones that can't speak!?) from the get go and at the same time, forcing the player to chose some faction he hasn't interacted with enough yet.
3. Needs an actual plot. What's the big, overarcing conflict? We're a werewolf no, whoop-de-doo. What next? What do we do?

Overall:

Concept has potential, some factions seem redudant or flawed. Could use some werewolves who aren't either engrossed in self-loathing or evil in some manner.

The CoG aren't really happy-go-lucky.

They want you to get along, yes, but in the sense of get along or else...

Else, being, of course, execution by werewolf pack.

Its all just a draft really, i have no video game programming or anything but it would be nice to have a game where you could play as a werewolf, kind of like morrowind and also partly fable, as being your actions mark your appearance. I think its a decent idea just for a basic outline.

hence the corruptness of the first faction =]
