*Aang: I intend to see if Katara will be his partner for the Core Trial, otherwise it could be someone else among his canonmates or close CR.
-Fear Trial: May depend on who he's partnered with, but will likely involve a storm in some capacity along with some of his personal fears involving letting go of people. It could also alternately involve his fear of losing humanity, in which case his enemy will be a version of him in the Avatar State who is General-like.
For Aang, I'm considering several things for after the Core: -He may choose to stay in Luceti, but only for several years or so. He knows his life is waiting for him back home, so he won't stay for good. But he wants to be able to help those who stay behind get on their feet and to be there for any of the Luceti-born kids who remain in the world so they have some familiar faces growing up. -I may look into memory removal for him for the purpose of making sure he doesn't change his future.
*Rock Lee: For his core trial, I will probably look into a Rapunzel team-up. Otherwise, it can be one of his close CR or few remaining canonmates whom he teams up with. Depending on Rapunzel's plans, he may stay in Luceti for a while after the trial.
-Fear Trial: One kind of depressing idea will be having Lee be overcoming a fear of his own limitations. Essentially, it will be about him grimly facing the reality about the limits of shounen determination. He was always set on getting himself to fly with Luceti wings and to save everyone, including the people he had seen die back home. He will finally be facing that is not possible, and his enemy will be a flying version of himself who is hoarding away all of Lee's precious people.
*Kurt Wagner: It will probably be someone from amongst his canonmates/close CR, but I am less decided there. My motivation for him has been horrible, but I want to try to play out some closure for him at least.
-Fear Trial: It could be facing a fear of who he is or possibly something Mystique-related.
*Jade Curtiss: I'm thinking he will most likely team up with Sophie Lhant for the Core Trial and they'll become incredible dorky bros. And he'll probably be heading home afterwards.
-Fear Trial: I'm unsure, but one potential scenario could be him facing off against a board game where the pieces are people he knows, good and bad, alive and dead, and he has direct control of their destinies, but the pieces will act on their own whenever he releases one of them. He will have to let go of the board game in order to overcome his fear of losing his humanity in order to gain control of life or death.
*Wreck-It Ralph: My motivation for him sadly has died out for the most part. I'm thinking that I'll handwave his trial (if any remaining close CR wants, they can handwave doing it with him) and I'll try to brain him for some farewell threads. He'll be going home.
In general all of my characters will be available for threads of things in the tunnels and for farewell threads for after the Trials (the only exception is that Ralph will most likely only be available for the latter unless I can get reinspired for him). -For characters in the tunnels: I am all for playing out encounters for the beasts. I'm not sure yet if I want there to be any permanent losses, but I would like to play around at least with regaining temporary losses (I have dumb sappy scenarios in mind like Character A loses memories of beloved Character B, Character B has to convince Character A to help anyway in tracking down the best to restore the memories). -I didn't list fear trials because I haven't nailed them down yet, and some of them may depend on how the endgame teams line up, but if anyone has suggestions for any of them, feel free to run them by me.
In general, I'm open for a lot of last things. I've gradually fallen off the ball over the past few months as I've gotten into other games, but if anyone wants to backdate anything for pre-endgame or get me to try to pick up any threads I've dropped, let me know and I'll try for it. Thank you for everything over the years, Lucetians, and I hope we all get to have a very fun endgame.
