((I need a druid's help.))

Not right now, but putting the thought out anyway, since it's running through my head.

Who's got a druid and wouldn't mind be written into a character's backstory as the one that helps an otherwise nice guy get in control of the fact that he (and the rest of his country, but this for the sake of his tale) is now turning into savage berserk animals (a wolf-man by default, but then later come the bears and cats and such) when he gets upset?

From what it looks like (at least in screenshots), it's night elf druids who're assisting the Gilneans in their plight come Cataclysm anyway, but even if not, it's a seed to work from.

I have every intention to attach Bellesta pretty heavily to Worgen, given the fact that she worships a wolven god and all they seem like fitting 'children' for her to adopt.

Gaining control over internal animals is also a central part of her character- given her own past troubles with controlling herself she prefers to see others not make the same mistake and find common ground with their animalistic desires. Be more than happy to talk to you about using her, since eventually I'll be thinking about Cara-hooks anyway.

Huh, I didn't even think of Bellesta...for some reason she stands out in my mind as less a druid, and more an animal that occasionally talks. But this could be exquisitely interesting.

I'll let you know more as we learn more about Cataclysm, understanding more of what worgen will be like, as I flesh this guy out more. So far the general idea I have is a sorta-Victorian "gentleman adventurer" with a "compulsive hero" mentality, who now is unexpectedly far more in touch with nature than he would have ever considered. Suffice to say I'm intrigued by how that character development is gonna go, particularly if he's got someone like Bellesta as an influence.
