Afterlife

Research Study: "Post-mortem Metaphysical Realms"
This Research Study has been produced by the Asophanian Department of Metaphysical Studies.
==Section 1: "Research"==
For eons humankind has questioned the possibility of life after death, be it a paradise, perdition, limbo or something completely different. While this is typically associated with religious or spiritual practice, the Department of Metaphysical Studies in the JADIRAD Facility has reviewed historical instances of contact with the beyond and conducted its own personal attempts at post-mortem contact, and has come to the conclusion that there truly is an existence beyond death.
== Section 2: "What is the afterlife?" ==
The Afterlife is composed of various possible realms the "soul" of an individual inhabits after death. This continued existence may either be as a disembodied consciousness in an astral realm, reincarnation, eternal paradise, being damned to perdition, limbo, or somewhere in-between.
The realms of the Afterlife are typically less stable than baseline reality, having an ARS rating of 73ξBaseline Reality has an ARS Rating of 100ξ
== Section 3: "Different Afterlives" ==
Following is a list of documented afterlives ordered from "paradise" to "perdition", with "limbo"-like afterlives situated between the two extremes:

==Section 4: "Beings of the Afterlife"==
===Section: 4.1 "Post-mortem beings"===
======Spirits======
Spirits are deceased beings whose soul still lingers in the "living world". 
===== Deceased Beings=====
In most cases when a living thing does, its soul / identity remains intact, and is moved to a realm of the afterlife. In some realms this may be as a disembodied consciousness, while they inhabit a copy of their original body.
These beings cannot die, as they are already dead. Any damage sustained to their form will regenerate shortly after it occurs. Additionally natural urges such as hunger, thirst, or being tired do not occur within Afterlives. 
Organic matter cannot exit afterlives, so despite the existence of a gateway out of a afterlife deceased beings cannot leave.
===Section 4.2 "Native beings"===
===== Demons=====
A Demon is an entity which typically inhabits more perdition-based afterlives. They may resemble both typical supernatural spirits and the typical abrahamic depiction of them, as well as other mythological demonic beings. Demons vary widely from incorporeal to corporeal, from benevolent to malicious, and harmless to dangerous.
