Basics, the Worgen and you.
So let's begin. The first thing to keep on mind while Roleplaying as a Worgen is that... You are actually a Citizen of Gilneas, with a mind of your own, BUT feral instincts.
That makes playing as a Worgen a little more complex that one would think at first glance.
How that affect your character is up to you. Although is expected for you o have some feral traits now and then, you may push a little more on it, or it may not affect you at all. Think of your character of something like Wolverine, a human with wolf instincts.
Personality
Gilneas is a very prideful nation. Although the recent events of the Worgen curse seems to teach them a lesson of humility, they are still very nationalist.
Again, this is up to your character how to deal with that. A normal Gilnean would be more like a common guy with a great sense of nationalism, Gilnean people are the best, the Gilnean food tastes the best, the culture is the most advanced, etc...
But you can dose as you like, you may be very humble because of the curse and destruction in your nation, you can be very arrogant still or just a nationalist guy who will always remind others how Gilneas is great. Other interesting options created by the curse is that you may be shamed to death that Gilneas had to rejoin the alliance, or you may be like a veteran, remembering how the things were better back then in the old country.
Remember that the nature of your character is, like with any race, of your choice. If he's shy, flirty, lazy, rushy, you decide, then apply the Gilnean traits on it and you got an interesting character to play with.
Appearance
This part looks simple, you are a normal human, or you may choose to stay on Worgen form.
Either way, remember that Gilneans care about what they look like. They are aristocratic, nobles, a Victorian appearance, you can also be more of a humble worker, with a European style, just remember to always look good, after all, you're a gilnean, you're way better than everyone, right?
