Here's some preliminary plotting for my cats! I should try to leave at least one person at the village but I am tempted right now to have pretty much all of mine setting out...

I've ended up signing up Aang for the mission to try his hand at diplomacy. If he doesn't get picked, he'll definitely be going on an exploration team, however. The same for if there's still room for explorations after the mission goes through.

Jade will definitely be exploring, and Kurt and Rock Lee could also be persuaded to go on explorations. And Mytho, his dark side prominent, may head out for his own self-involved reasons, in search of power or allegiance. Pretty much all of my characters have some kind of wilderness survival preparation (except for Mytho) and some useful abilities. Aang has airbending and his glider, although that's not useful for multiple people. Jade has leadership skills and military know-how. Kurt can teleport up to two miles at a time. And Rock Lee is powerhouse for taking down incredible foes. Mytho... he has creepy crow powers and ballet.

So anyone who wants to be in a group with any of my five, please let me know.
