I wouldn't personally. It's all about writing skills and believability and story and... what makes up roleplay.
And I'm not really sure I want to get into RP when it comes to epeen character contests honestly. I guess I'm in RP circles where I don't have to worry too much about that. Especially since I'm rather hardcore into the mundane, average characters I want into my RP.
No, I just think that having those OOC achievements behind can just paint a more consistent background. It gives weight to things.
You know, a bit how you can perfectly RP you have a gun in your hands, but you don't have leveled machinist. Well, when you have, you actually show the gun in your hands. It adds no more credibility nor validates anything more. But it adds immersion.
To me it's a bit more similar to what glamour is to RP. It's another form of glamour for more immersion.
