So everyone recognizes X-D as the Chuck Norris of Zalanthas. Even on the GDB people will openly admit his prowess (and we all know that's saying something). So, what do you think makes him so awesome? I've never heard anyone accuse him of being a twink, and beyond that everyone who has played with him seems to really enjoy being around his PCs. (Probably because he gets shit done.)
So, what do you think makes him so BA? Militaristically or otherwise. Also would like to hear some examples of his supernatural badassery, as I've never actually played with him (AFAIK).

His RP is not good but he knows the code well enough that all his characters become powerhouses. That has made him a bit of a legend, although part of it is just the GDB circlejerk and cliquishness. I find him resoundingly average, a player whose only real card to play is that he's good at skillgrinding and willing to stick with it long enough to become powerful. His RP rarely extends beyond 'emote walks to ~bar' levels. As a clanlead, he takes people out to kill animals a lot, which is better than nothing, but in the two months I spent under his leadership he never did anything else and his character was basically just a set of skills with no other content.
I've heard he did more interesting stuff as a leader at other times, but I never saw it. Anytime I played with/near him, I was severely disappointed that one of the game's most veteran players produced such weak, lazy roleplay. Barely emoting, total codeplay, no personality from what I could tell. One-dimensional player who knew how to make his characters codedly powerful.

Like oldtwink pointed out, the only thing special I've gleaned about him is his code knowledge. He's just kinda meh.

I've always seen Cutthroat as the Chuck Norris of Zalanthas. That or the Mr. Rogers of Zalanthas.

Pretty much. I wouldn't even say decent RP. It was distinctly unimpressive to me, like lazy three-word emotes or just none at all. He's the kind of player where the substance of his character can be summed up in his stats, skills and accent. Also some really suspicious bullshit that I witnessed, like one time some random idiot got himself wanted in a bar and soldiers ran in and killed him, and X-D and his Byn mates promptly stood up to pick over his loot the instant the body hit the floor.
When a PC soldier told them to stop, they told her to fuck off and threatened her in the middle of the bar, in front of several NPC soldiers who had rushed in from adjacent rooms to rape the criminal. When she reported this to her superiors and to X-D's lieutenant or whatever, that group of pals tried to PK her. Utter disregard for even the most basic common sense, bottom of the barrel RP, extreme skillgrinding, and responding to any sort of disagreement with hair-trigger PKing, is pretty much what I know him for.

So pretty much he was Ruke but well liked? Funny how that works.

Guess I better log into my Whiran and kill X-D's character now once the Ruke hate dies down.
