A wide and sweeping character poll that will encompass all significant, and many less than significant, characters in the Black Butler universe.
What characters will be included?
Characters from all types of Black Butler media: manga, anime, musicals, even the video game and the live action movie. Please note that this means there will be potential spoilers, as characters up to chapter 199 will be part of the polling.
Major, minor, and very minor characters will all be included, and will be tagged accordingly with the label that I believe best suits them. Characters unique to the video game and live action movie will all automatically receive a "very minor character" tag even if they are important to the plots of their respective media. Click here to see the tags that will be used.
Unnamed characters that have some significance to the plot but may be triggering won't be given their own polls unless a vocal majority objects. This includes characters like the people that sold the twins to the cult and the specific cult member that purchased them. The cultists will have a poll as a conglomerate. Baron Kelvin and other despicable characters that are named will have their own polls. Characters whose actions may be triggering will fall under the "burn in hell" tag.
Important objects and some animal characters will be included as well. This includes things I thought would simply be fun to vote on, such as the iceberg Grelle sits on in the Campania arc and the turnspit dog.

How does the voting work?
Character polls will generally come with five options to choose from: Love, Like, Indifferent/Who?, Dislike, and Hate.
Love and Like both count as a +1 positive vote for that character. Indifferent/Who? does not count towards the tally. Dislike and Hate count as a +1 negative vote for a character.
Number of votes will be calculated by multiplying total votes by the percentage of votes per option.
Most loved character and most hated character are separate tallies. Giving a hate vote does not minus a love vote; it is calculated separately.
Characters move higher up on the popularity list depending on the number of Love and Like votes they receive, not by a ratio of total votes. Characters move higher up on the unpopular list depending on the number of Dislike and Hate votes they receive, not by a ratio of total votes.
Ties for the popular vote will be broken based on the ratio of Love to Like votes; then the ratio of Love/Like to Hate votes; then the ratio of Love/Like to Dislike; and finally the ratio of Love/Like to Indifferent, in that order.
Ties for the unpopular vote will be broken based on the ratio of Hate to Dislike votes; then the ratio of Hate/Dislike to Love votes; then the ratio of Hate/Dislike to Like; and finally the ratio of Hate/Dislike to Indifferent, in that order.
Absolute ties will be broken by another poll pitting tied characters against each other.
Polling will begin a day after the release of chapter 199, likely to be April 19th.
Guidelines
Vote in as many polls as you like.
Reblog as many polls as you like. While it would be ideal if only Kuroshitsuji fans voted in the polls, I understand recruiting followers to vote for your blorbos is part of the fun, so we'll just embrace the non-fans who get roped in to our shenanigans.
Each poll lasts a week. When the poll is over, votes will be calculated by the above standards.
Once all the polls and tiebreaker polls are over, the following rankings will be posted:
Most Adored: characters ranked by number of Love and Like votes combined
Most Despised: characters ranked by number of Hate and Dislike votes combined
Most Beloved: characters ranked by number of Love votes
Most Beloathed: characters ranked by number of Hate votes
Most Decent: characters ranked by number of Like votes
Most Unsavory: characters ranked by number of Dislike votes
Most Forgettable: characters ranked by number of Indifferent / Who? votes
Most Popular: characters ranked by number of votes total
Most Controversial: characters ranked by the most even ratio of positive to negative votes (this list may not contain all the characters)

see the Gravity Falls fandom is fun because people are still churning out new content and new theories like we've gotten any new pieces of canon in the last 5 years
the "oh. oh." moment in fan fic but instead of a character realizing they're in love it's them discovering they have a specific kink at the worst possible moment
