If you could write a character for DS9, who would it be?

For an "Atheist" she was quick to believe that she was dead. Jordi was much more of an Atheist than she ever was. He never believed that he was in a sort of afterlife.
As for Kov, I must have blocked that out along with everything else concerning that deplorable episode...
They've been in an accident, wake up to discover they can pass through solid objects and no one can see or hear them, without any information to determine otherwise, Ro believes she is dead and has the opportunity to make peace with her life. Growing up under the Cardassian occupation she will be very accepting of death, having seen it since she was a child and knowing that it could so easily take her at any time. In the same episode, when she and Geordi hear plans being made for their memorials she detests the idea of the Bajoran death chant being held for her. She also purposefully wears her earring on the wrong ear.
That's how people with a belief in an afterlife behave, and definitely not Atheists.
I'm an atheist but am open to the concept of ghosts. People are complicated things.
Anyway, lets get this thread back on track with:
Riajj: A Boslic investigator (though some would call her a bounty hunter), who is hunting down a serious criminal she believes might be on DS9. After being caught by Odo on her hunt, she grudgingly lets him in on her reason for being there and the pair work together to find the culprit (who it turns out is trying to destroy the station). After she has her prize she returns home, only to keep turning up at the station with information that mat be of use to them and to spend time in a certain bar, gathering intelligence of her own from its owner whom she has soft spot for. Whether her interest is genuine or not is in question, when she makes a move to arrest Garak, a man she believes is responsible for an assassination on her homeworld. Later, during the war, she becomes an informant, thanks to her long list of contacts throughout the region.

I am one who isn't.
I was just thinking that they never had Sisko's siblings on the series and that would have been nice to get an episode featuring them at least. Especially when Ben was back in New Orleans at the start of Season 7. Or perhaps at his wedding to Kasidy.
Can't recall if I've mentioned it already, but it would've been nice to see Uhura, Chekov, and Sulu, one or all, still around in the 24th century. If TNG brought back McCoy, Spock, and Scotty, and Generations, Kirk, where was the rest of the iconic TOS crew? Though with the tie between Chakotay and a Sulu, Hikaru Sulu might have worked better for that show (as he did in "Flashback").

Doctor Chapel arrives at the station to meet with Bashir and has an awkward moment with Odo

What if it had been Dr. Chapel in TNG Season 2 instead of Pulaski?
I don't know.
I've always had a hankering to see a Klingon with Betazoid blood... a telepathic Klingon, ever since TNG's Paralells, when we find out Worf has kids with Troi in some other quantum reality. I'd watch a whole story about those kids, & wtf their lives would be like
Could of been that LaForge had definite ideas as to what his after life would consist of, and continuing to exist (forever?) on the Enterprise wasn't that after life.
Doubtful, that would make Jeordi an extremist and he's definitely not that!
How does Geordi having an idea about what his afterlife be like make him an "extremist"?
Maybe he thought when he died he dreamed he would have typical human eyesight and he would forever see a perpetual sunset (it moved him to tears in INS so he knows he's missing out on something special). Or maybe he thought that his energy would be transferred into a new body (a futuristic ideology of reincarnation, given that energy cannot be created or destroyed).

Let's not lose sight of the impossibility of the episode.
I mean the episode is filled with bizarre exceptions that make it impossible to even rationalize the impossibilities.
1) they go through walls and furniture but are stopped by the floor.
2) Jeordi can put his hand through tables and his head through lids of horizontal boxes but the Romulan is sitting in a chair without sinking in it! Maybe there is an ass-seat exception to the go-through rule!!!
3) They can't eat or drink because those are immaterial to them but they can still breathe the normal air (that or they can hold their breath for an entire day!).
That means that before you even consider Geordi's reasoning you have to be oblivious to the many many impossibilities of the episode.
I mean if I was in Geordi's place I would first ask myself what air I am breathing. Because if it's the Enterprise's air then to make my presence known I only need to blow in people's faces!!! If it's another "phased" air then where is it coming from? And why does it stay there without any walls to hold it?
I would quickly conclude that either I am being deceived somehow, or that I am hallucinating.

Every show that does a "we think we're dead and come back as ghosts" episode has them not passing through the floor, it's a trope you just have to accept.
At least with Hoshi, it was a dream!
Well, technically, in my opinion anyway, they had a Founder on DS9.....even if Odo didn't consider himself to be one ☺
Why would they even have females in the great link? I mean unless Odo happens to be bi, it doesn't seem like being male or female makes any difference in the linking thing... Which Odo otherwise characterizes as a sexual experience of sorts.
Could it be that founders are in fact genderless?
