Thirrin walks towards a small table at the entrance to the small town, there was two dwarves sitting behind it with some parchments in front of them on the table.
"Oh, here she comes." one of the dwarves says and clears his throat.
"Welcome youn lady, before we can let you go any further, you have to ask some simple questions" he says. Looking a bit confused, Thirrin nods and sits down on the chair at the table on her side.
"Alright, let's start with the basics, what is your name miss?" the dwarf asks as the other dwarfs dips his quill into the bottle of ink getting ready to record Thirrin's answers.
"It's Thirrin, Thirrin Pawtre" she answers briefly.
I've been playing this game for quite some time, why are they now asking me questions? Just to be jerks once again? she asks herself.
The dwarf asking questions looks at his partner to make sure he recorded everything before moving on.
"Alright then lets see... ah yes, how old are you Thirrin?" the dwarf asks.
"Well aren't you a rude one... i'm 26, but let me ask for your names, just out of curiosity" she says and the dwarves looks briefly at each other.
"I am Baldrick and my partner here is Gudnir" Baldrick answers and makes sure Gudnir had all necessities recorded once again.
"Alright, now i have few questions for you at the same time, nothing too hard though. First of all, what are you? well i can clearly see you're female so let's forget about that question, and last but not least. Could you please describe your appearance to us so we get all the details recorded." Baldrick says and looks patiently at Thirrin, he seemed to have done this job for some time already. "Lets see, i think i was called Kemono.... yes it was Kemono. Then describe myself... Well i am 157 centimeters tall, i weight 53 kilos. Uhm, i'm actually part dog, as you might've noticed" she answers to her best ability, it just felt so strange being questioned like this so suddenly.
"Okay that's good, that's good. Next up is your personality, would you mind describing it? Baldrick asks and Thirrin nods as an answer. "W-well, i can try. It's so hard though.. i'm a clumsy ball of energy, would be the best way to describe me i guess, some people would say something else too... i guess" she answers, once again trying her best. Baldrick raises his eyebrow a bit to such vague answer but there was no use trying to get any better answer right now, they only had limited amount of time.
"Alright, now that we got rid of the basics, let's get to the more technical side of things, what is your level?" Baldrick asks, he seems to have picked up the pace now.
Wow, i didn't think that NPC would ask me something like this she thought.
"I'm level 32" she says.
"We're starting to run out of time here in a bit so let's just get this over with as quickly as possible. What are your weapons? What is your armor type?" Baldrick asks bluntly.
"My weapons? Well i have this tome and enchanted sling... what comes to armor type, it's cloth" she answers quickly.
"Okay last two questions, what is your personal skill and what is your job, if you have one" Baldrick asks briefly.
"My personal skill, it's Cannon Barrage... it's an area of effect spell that summons eight illusions of cannons that shoots fireballs on 20 meter radius for four seconds,it has one minute cooldown. And i don't have a job" Thirrin answers. Gudnir finishes recording all necessities and turns around the parchment.
"Make sure everything is right" he says.

Thirrin reads through the parchment and nods.
"Yup, looks good to me" she says. Baldrick stands up and bows
"It was nice to see ya miss Pawtre, but we have to go now, have lot of work to do" he says and with a snap of the fingers, the dwarves and the table was gone and Thirrin was now sitting on a ground looking a bit confused of what just happened.
I quest and grind for hours and hours to get to this level now they start asking me questions like this? Isn't that something you do first as people join the game? she thought, just how did she end up here in the first place though? Well let's see...
Backstory:
The first minutes in game after character creation, Thirrin got greeted by a tutorial quest, all of it was totally familiar with her, having invested quite some time to few other VRMMOs before GSO. So Thirrin boosted through the tutorial to get it out of the way as soon as possible, doing a 48 hour marathon. By the time she stopped playing, she was super hooked, any of the MMOs before GSO wasn't as good as GSO was for her. But there was this one thing she couldn't summon any interest towards, professions. As other people were happily doing professions along with levelling, Thirrin used her time just grinding and questing. The way Thirrin thought about professions was that she would maybe catch up after she has reached end game and there was nothing else to do.
