To start, how you put it in the other thread WAS great to see. It made me grin a bit so props to you. 
For me, it was at least partly because it reminded me of an old friend's view and expression of her characters.
On to the point, I've played characters on both end of the spectrum from a shining, almost OCD noble blood knight to a human mercenary that could care less how much blood and grime he was caked in as long as the job got done. To me, it really boils down to the environment of the world, but more importantly the character. How clean or unmarred a character is (or isn't) can be a small way of not only showing their priorities but how they view themselves, both of which can be (and usually are) effected by their history/background/standing/place in life, among other things.
I like to look at it really as a small way of presenting that piece of the character, but by the same token I could just really be reading into other people's characters too far. I just know that for myself that's the reflection I intend to give off when I comment/post/describe something of that nature during RP.
For what it's worth, Zarek will likely be more of a grittier, down to earth type character given the background that's been forming in my head.
