So that was more luck of the draw than anything, I can buy that. Given time the population will eventually even itself to an equal ratio.
As for the characters themselves, what method did you use to pick out the powers for the cast of Lot 6? Did you just pick something out for each character at random or was there more to it then that?

A massive world-wide war started in 1412, initiated by the various governments placing restrictions on the number of offspring a family could have, a severe drought and crop destruction due to unusually large amounts of insects, and large groups of citizens grouping together to form factions to overthrow their country's governing bodies. The actual fighting lasted 5 years, but things didn't resume normalcy until 1475 or so. Millions died during the battles; between the loss of life (mostly males) and the previous offspring restrictions, the female population was greater than the male population.
