User:Alastyr

= Physical Description = Alastyr is not to be considered an outstanding druid, in neither looks, nor actions. Even the outfits he wears doesn't draw attention. The only thing that could be said as remarkable is his height. He is remarkably shorter than others of his race.

= Personality=

First and foremost, Alastyr puts his family above everything else. He believes his sole purpose to live is to protect those he loves and cares about. If he fails in that job, he can usually be found sulking, if able to be found at all. Alastyr can either be a fun person to spend time with, or a complete nuisance, depending on either the day that was had, or the type of personality of any given person. He is sarcastic, and tries to be witty, even if he may fail most of the time.

He cares deeply for his two daughters, Dornaa Glaivestorm (adopted), and Ariedan Glaivestorm, as well as his wife, Aeren Glaivestorm. It's wonder how the three ever put up with him, even if he does provide for them all. = History =

Beginning
Alastyr started out as a child of two long-since forgotten soldiers. He was raised under their care for a year or so before they were called back to a fight, of which they never came back from. He was turned over to the care of his parent's friends, a couple who lived in Ashenvale. He was the only child in the household until they had a son of their own, whom they named Alkuron. Since their first meeting, the two boys have never been friendly to each other, the reason which even to this day, remain unknown. The conflicts that arose between Alkuron and Alastyr later in his life are eventually what brought Alastyr to periodically run from the home he was provided, and learn to fend for himself, though he would always return after some amount of time.

These adventures into the wilderness filled Alastyr with wonder. He learned to appreciate nature for what it is, and how to live in harmony with it. His first encounter with an act of druidism, for lack of better terms, came quite a few years after his first journey. He had stumbled across a Kal'Dorei doing something strange; they were changing between their own form, and that of a large panther, almost as if practicing. Surprised, bewildered, and very intrigued, Alastyr hid nearby and sat, fascinated, watching the elf. He eventually came to realize that the druid had taken notice of his presence, and had now begun to walk to where he sat. Embarrassed, he jumped up and stopped short of running, as the druid had begun to speak to him.

"Stay, please, tell me what it is that has you fascinated so. You have been there for hours watching me, and I have been polite enough to let you stay. The least you could do is speak."

Of course, Alastyr was reluctant to say a word, as he didn't want to offend the elf standing in front of him, though after a few moments he timidly responded, "I'm just curious as to what you're doing there.. I've never seen anything like it.."

The elf scoffed and replied in an off-hand manner, "I am simply changing my form. Try if you would like."

Alastyr's eyes brightened, and he instantly became anxious, nodding enthusiastically. "Please tell me. I would love more than anything to do it!"

The elf smirked then patted Alastyr on the head. "Amusing. It is simple. Imagine yourself in the shape of a panther, leopard, or tiger, whichever you prefer, and just will your body to change." And with that, the elf morphed and plodded away, leaving Alastyr confused as to how 'willing your body' works. He stressed over it for a good while before deciding he should simply try it. He chose the same form that the elf from before used, and concentrated intently on the image. As the moments passed, nothing happened, which caused him to grow increasingly frustrated. Through the frustration he eventually shouted, "CHANGE!" While the word itself proved to be meaningless, the meaning behind it served its purpose. The air around Alastyr began to shimmer, and then limb by limb and feature by feature, his body melted into one of a panther.

((Work in progress! It's definitely not finished yet.))
