- ipre crew members 
	+ Harry; he's there as security; paladin or warlock perhaps?; human probably
	+ Tom; there as a researcher, specifically for magic and spellcasting etc.; definitely a wizard; human probably
	+ Neville; there as a researcher, specifically for plants and animals; he's a druid; halfling maybe?
	+ Hermione; there as a researcher and chronicler; specifically she researches history and culture; she's a bard; tiefling?
	+ Ron; the pilot; he's a ranger, good at navigation and tracking that kind of thing; half-elf?
	+ Dumbledore; lead researcher, most interested in bond and soul magic (the kind that the ship runs off of); probaby a sorcerer; dwarf?
	+ Sirius???; mechanic, built the ship, still not sure if I should replace him with someone else; elf probably

- before the hunger ruins it all
	+ Harry became MOD at a very young age (about four)
		- he accidentally made a deal with death 
		- she said she would give him the power to protect himself from his relatives, he just had to become her child and do her bidding
		- Harry being FOUR was like 'you'll protect me and in exchange I get a mom? sign me up!'
		- he getes the Hallows as gifts from his new mom to help him protect himself
		- he's immortal, but the hunger can kill him bc it consumes all things including gods; so like, the only reason Death still exists is because Harry is part of the crew and the bonds/soul magic reforms him as long as they escape("you cannot die until you have finished your work, Harry")
		- his parents died from some illness unrelated to the hunger
	+ Harry and Neville become friends before the mission, they grew up together; Harry is the one that convinces Neville to apply
	+ 

- the stolen century
	+ Grindelwald is the hunger
		- Dumbledore is the one who parlayed with him
	+ that first cycle, Tom, Harry, and Neville learn parseltongue together from snakes (maybe it's a snake society instead of the entire animal kingdom?)
		- Salazar Slytherin is a snake king perhaps? teaches Tom parselmagic
	+ Tom and Harry hate each other at first and it's A PROBLEM
		- Tom thinks Harry is an idiot and shouldn't even be on this godforsaken ship
		- Harry thinks Tom is a pretentious asshole (which he is)
		- eventually, they realized how similar they are and end up together, but it is a PROCESS. it takes like FIFTY YEARS.
	+ that one cycle where everyone but Lucretia dies right at the beginning and she has to fight for her life for a year to make sure they all make it out? yeah, that but it's Tom; this is why he ends up being afraid of death
		- Harry is technically alive this entire cycle but he's imprisoned for being an 'abomination', he's the one that creates the distraction that allows Tom to escape; Tom has to leave him behind when he escapes on the ship, which means he does actually die to the hunger at the end of the year
	+ later, Tom becomes a lich for various reasons (dumbledore doesn't know this happens bc he was parlaying with Grindelwald)
		- he's way more afraid of dying than he was before bc of his little year long vacation alone
		- he realizes that Harry is immortal and that one day when this is all over, he'll die and Harry won't and then Harry will find a new lover and THAT is unacceptable, only solution is to live forever
		- he uses Harry's soul as an anchor for this exact reason; when Harry dies, he'll be able to die too
	+ they all learn how to artifice just like in taz and make themselves personal artifacts

- the light of creation situation
	+ Tom is the one that figures out that they can split the light but they all make one; they're (mostly) the horcruxes but like if they weren't all Tom's
		- the journal is made by Hermione (works like google; can ask it anything and it will know the answer)
		- the ring is made by Harry (enables someone to make illusions impossible to tell from reality; they can be touched, heard, talked to, etc.)
		- the snake is made by Neville (basilik named Nagini; turns living things to stone with it's eyes)
		- the cup is made by Ron (it becomes an infinite source of anything poured into it)
		- the diadem is made by Dumbledore (enables a person to read and control minds)
		- the locket is made by Tom (necromancy; the ability to possess people, raise the dead, etc)
		- the veil made by Sirius?? (a mirror that lets you teleport instantly to a destination; has unfortunate side effect of slowly driving people crazy with every use)
	+ they scatter all the relics except the ring (which stays with Harry for obvious reasons; Tom wants it enough for the plan to work lmfao) and cause terrible tragedies and war, etc.

- Dumbledore voidfishes them all
	+ Neville wants to do something about Nagini; the destruction is too much for him, but Harry stops him and goes instead
