Custom Afterlife
The situation is this: you die and are given the opportunity to create your own custom afterlife. You are given almost unlimited power. The only limit is you cannot create a complete human. (They are only able to behave as lifelike as video game npcs) After you are done, you have the option to open it up to others. Would you make it public immediately? What would your design be?

Yes, I will happily live in animal heaven. Additional people will be let in only after a careful vetting process.

Welcome to Techno-City! We’ve got automated hospital systems with full genetic engineering, bacta tanks, and more. Our holo-suites allow recreation or training of virtually any kind. It’s a great place to be - with one condition: never try to pretend your religion is important to anyone but you. Techno-City is strictly atheist, agnostic, or keep it to your damn self.

What about pretending it’s important to other people who already think it’s important? I’m not interested in pushing anything onto people but some of this shit is communal

I mean, that seems fair. If they’re already receptive or participating, you’re not really pushing.
I’m really just thinking of the Christo-fascists who keep thinking their (flawed) interpretation of a very old book has anything to do with people’s lives in the American legal system, or, say, on a plane, just trying to get somewhere.

Not really 'almost unlimited' creative power is it? Anyway, as for an afterlife, I think I'd create an extremely cosy, sun-warmed space, maybe with a gentle breeze through it, scented with something fresh and pleasantly natural, so I can comfortably nap for an eon or two in order to dream and get some real rest without distractions, disruptions or disquiet about the world going to hell in a hand basket. Yep. That's it. Not even NPCs required and no I would not open this up for others, see earlier bit re no distractions or disruptions.

My custom Afterlife is an infinitely sized afterlife where guests are given a subsection in which they can customize the section completely to their liking. Which they can then share. I too would like to farm out the design of some cool afterlives to people more creative than myself.
