I mean personally I try to take traits that fit my character more than for just mechanical gain but at the end of the day... Does it really matter?

Do we include talents as well in the list of things that we want people to get solely based on the ic of their char?

I don't really see an issue here, it's not like someone is doing something like downing you with a host of youkai, then rping they're like beating you to death with their own hands alone or anything.
