The next time I run I'm just going to give everyone 2d12, 4d10,2d10, 
3d8,1d8, 4d6, 4d6, 3d6, 3d6, 2d6.  Apply as you see fit.  That or drop one 
of the d6s and have players draw  a card for it.

I am toying with the idea of adding a Luck stat, and make everyone draw for 
that one - but in DL Luck is represented by fate chips. . .

As for mysterious pasts - anyone who wants one can get one.  But since I 
use a tarot deck for MP draws, they are 50/50 to get a bad past (inverted 
card).
