Alphonse Gore
~ Friend to All Nature's Creatures ~

story

• Alphonse is the sixth of seven children born to the Gore family. Their father, Aloysius Gore Sr. was a well known game hunter in Gilneas, and he taught his children how to hunt at a young age. Alphonse didn't like hunting, and when his family went on hunting trips he preferred to just explore the woods they hunted in and appreciate the wild animals.
• On one particular hunting trip, Alphonse found a very strange looking deer struggling with a gunshot wound. Alphonse slowly approached to help it, and was startled when it turned into an elf right before his eyes. This in turn startled the elf, who panicked before Alphonse made it clear he was there to help. He performed first aid on the elf, and during the process they got to talking, bonding over a love of nature, and the elf told Alphonse about druidism. They became friends, and whenever his family went hunting in that forest, Alphonse would secretly meet with the elf and train in nature magic.
• When the Worgen curse struck Gilneas. Alphonse's druidic training kept him sane through the transformation, and he found his power even stronger from it. While he was disappointed by the loss of his home, being offered a new place to stay in Teldrassil was well worth the trade in Alphonse's opinion, and he immersed himself in Night Elven society and further studied Druidism under their tutelage.

personality

• He is really enthusiastic about all of the crazy plants and animals across Azeroth, and is prone to ranting about how much he loves nature for hours on end if you let him. In the same way, he has zero respect for people who disregard the importance of the natural world, which has led him to having some disagreements with his father about the morality of game hunting.
• He doesn't like having to kill animals of any kind, which leads to his living spaces always being full of ants and spiders.
• He absolutely hates Sylvanas and the Horde for their actions in the War of the Thorns, not only being the second time that his home has been destroyed by them, but on top of that it was an enormous tree full of countless wild animals.

other

• He has a very large family. in order of age: Aloysius Sr. (Father), Maribelle (Mother), Albert (eldest brother), Alain (2nd brother), Alton (middlest brother), Aloysius Jr. (4th brother), Allison (older sister), Alphonse (himself), and Alexandra (younger sister)
• Ironically wolves are one of his least favourite animals, he prefers to be in any of his other animal forms over his worgen one.
