It's pretty hard to get a date with rancid BO and a TV on your head.
Why do a faction who specialize in kidnapping / inducting the homeless and doing [Omega Clearance Required] to them need to breed?
I assume they breed stronger versions of Lost. In anycase their entire race depends on there being enough homeless people to kidnap and they can't surivie otherwise? sounds kind of lame

When you think about it there's not too much "female diversity" in most of the enemy groups of this game. I think part of the reason Castle added the new "Girlfriend From Hell" Hellion boss type in Issue 18 was to try to fix that lack of representation a bit.
The Devs addressed this male/female concern many years ago. IIRC it was a compromise between making more female models for existing groups or making a larger number of different groups. Supposedly instead of spending their limited time making lots of female models they decided to make most enemies generically male so they could have more time to make a larger number of different factions for us to face. I guess they succeeded because we do have lots of different types of enemies to fight, even if 95% of them are male.
Hopefully, like the "Girlfriend From Hell" example, the Devs will continue to add new female enemies to face in the future. Maybe'll we'll even get a female Lost critter to fight.

On a side note, I always wondered about the dating rituals of the Rikti.
What does a female Rikti wear on a date? The male rikti? What sort of activities are considered 'fun' for Rikti?
Walking your pet monkey?
Watching a movie?
Trips to the shooting range to keep up skills?
And I do NOT want to know what constitutes a successful date thankyouverymuch.
Ok thats lame. If they can't breed with humans then I need to rewrite my story with Trolls or something, maybe Warriors since they;re basically human.
Skulls: Shadow Sisters. Women who have undergone death rituals and emerged with the ability to project waves of shadow (Torrent/Night Fall) and infuse their strikes with the cold grip of death (Shadow Punch)
Outcasts: Female versions of the current members would work fine.
Circle: Hard to tell sometimes under the robes, might just be a patriarchal thing for the mages.
Tsoo: Maybe some female members if Staff Melee ever gets added? Or some form of wise sage women who can apply buffs to the ink tattoos of fellow Tsoo.
Nemesis Army: Likely patriarchal, but I'd love some Ladies of Steam.
Trolls: We have female Destroyers, so some female trolls might be nice.
Crey: Already equal opportunity villains.
Rikti: Hard to tell under the armour, we know some are though.
The Warriors: A weirdly greek inspired gang -WITHOUT- the Amazon warrior myth appearing? Get thee some Cimeorian inspired BS/Shield ladies!
Sky Raiders: Likely patriarchal, former military unit and all.
Arachnos: Female soldiers please? We have the models!
Family: I can see some of the women of the Family standing up to defend their fellows. Pistols and psychics maybe?
Malta/KoA: Come together at times, so I guess that's fine both ways.
Freakshow: We have clamour and Doc Buzzsaw, let's get some more anarchistic ladies going. A missed opportunity for Super Stunners.
PPD (Both Versions): A distinct lack of female officers in the field. ONly a few NPCs/Victims.

They did a post that I think was deleted about the effects of Sister Psyche's mind-riding abilities relating to consensual acts between two adults.

uhh this is for a complete different project, it a AE arc I'm making :\
and almost canon
In that case... Lost are humans. There is nothing saying they can't breed (as far as I know), but I'm pretty certain that the result of a Lost/Normal (or even a Lost/Lost) relationship would just be a normal human, because Lost are artificially adjusted humans - saying they would produce anything different would be like saying that a man with a prosthetic foot would produce babies that have prosthetic feet from birth.
The wisdom of Shadowe: Ghostraptor: The Shadowe is wise ...; FFM: Shadowe is no longer wise.
; Techbot_Alpha: Also, what Shadowe said. It seems he is still somewhat wise 
; Bull Throttle: Shadowe was unwise in this instance...; Rock_Powerfist: in this instance Shadowe is wise.; Techbot_Alpha: Shadowe is very wise *nods*; Zortel: *Quotable line about Shadowe being wise goes here.* I'm more concerned that you apparently can't tell the difference between male and female hobos. Just because she has a beard of filth, a television on her head, and is rocking the latest in traffic-sign couture doesn't mean she's not feminine.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan. If you're Unleashed, I'm dumps. I'll try and get registered on the Titan Forums as well. Peace, and thanks for the best nine years anyone could ever ask for.
Yeah now that I think about it I'll just have all the weird/deformed/hobo factions involved, and not restrict it to any one of them.
To invoke that ancient question and answer, the female Lost must be somewhere in Kings Row.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."

God. I miss those broadcasts of "Where are the lost in Kings Row?"

Naturally, this led to many players asking in Broadcast, "Where are the Lost in Kings Row?"
Which generally led to responses along the lines of "I don't know, I lost them" and "If we knew, they wouldn't be Lost, they would be Found, wouldn't they?" and numerous other variations.
So "Where are the Lost in Kings Row?" is a classic silly question now, especially to the veteran heroes of '04 and '05.
"How do you know you are on the side of good?" a Paragon citizen asked him. "How can we even know what is 'good'?"
"The Most High has spoken, even with His own blood," Melancton replied. "Surely we know."
And in case anyone is wondering. They are still to the south near the war wall mostly.

The results of Rikti/Rikti mating is a normal (by our standards) human. The change happens during childhood. I'm unsure if the lore states whether Rikti children are modified by an external source, or if they automatically undergo the change from human to Rikti as they age, but they do start out the same as we do. That's why, in a couple arcs, Rikti refer to normal humans as "the birth form".
Since the Lost are just Rikti that have undergone the change later in their life than "native" Rikti, they would also breed normal humans. If Rikti children automatically change as they get older, it's possible that the Children of the Lost would undergo the change as well. If Rikti need external stimuli to change from the birth form, then Lost children would as well.
@Roderick
I came in here expecting Jack, Kate and Hurley. Shame.
Are the Lost sterile? I mean can they still breed with normal humans? BEcause there's not female Lost I assume they have to breed somehow
