Yes, it does become hard with as many or more entries as posters 
The Mechanatrix, Rocketeer, Builder, and to a lesser degree The Artist all seem to be variations on essentially the same theme, though not as much for the latter two since there's less of a distinct feel for the tech base of The Builder, and nothing but artistic attention to detail for Artist. Rocketeer and Mechanatrix are mainly a matter of gender and whether the previous life left us with more personal combat skills or command experience - I lean to Mechanatrix because command experience is probably more valuable in a build-your-own-city/empire/world game, which is also why I favor The Analog Computer of those that aren't mine, since previous duties would have included figuring out efficient logistical and military strategies given the included backstory. Also, she's a catgirl airship pilot inventor, and I can't imagine why anyone is not jumping at that combo immediately
TAC, The Patient One, and The Hierophant sort of form a similar stylistic group in my mind, with TPO being overt high-fantasy magic and monsters, JC having angels and so on, and TAC having 50s sci fi space magic that's largely the same dressed up in chrome and technobabble.
The Awesome is, at that point, odd man out with a lizard men/cyberpunk corp wars style, though you could just as easily argue The Artist stands alone as well, if you give him units like kinetic sculptures or Picasso Fish rather than explicitly mechanical devices.

Just a bit of discussion to hopefully help break the dead heat and/or attract some more interest.
