Life After Death

Description

Explore the depths of your character’s experience as they navigate the thresholds between life and death

As a member of a Starfleet, your character’s journey takes a sudden turn as they find themselves facing death. Whether it’s a heroic act of self-sacrifice or a random on-screen demise thanks to Janeway’s coffee running out, your character meets their end.

Now, in the afterlife, your character’s adventure continues. Who do they encounter in this realm beyond? Are they greeted by benevolent beings, familiar faces from their past, or perhaps enigmatic entities whose nature defies comprehension?

Is the afterlife what your character expected it to be, based on their beliefs or experiences? Do they find solace in the embrace of long-lost loved ones, or are they confronted with profound mysteries that challenge their understanding of existence?

But wait, the journey doesn’t have to end here – modern medicine and advanced technology offer the possibility of bringing you back. Is your character slated to return to the land of the living? If so, what does this revival feel like? Is it a joyous reunion with their corporeal form, or a disorienting reawakening with existential questions?
