So after the character popularity poll, I did around two more polls on the Discord server. Around 40+ people replied. Seeing that they are more than 1000 members on the server, seeing only 40+ people replying to the polls gives me an idea of how many people actually bother about these random things haha.
Anyway, below are the questions and the results.
