Eridan Ampora
The most difficult choice for me was whether I disliked Tavros or Eridan more. In the end, I decided that they were both equally pathetic in their own unique way, and gave them the only tie I gave out.

I had a tough time trying to even out who I liked because they made me laugh, and who I liked because of their character, which probably caused most of the ties I got ("I dislike both of these characters equally, but one of them makes me laugh a lot more than the other! But the other has a kickass theme! Argh!").
Edit: Unrelated to favorite characters thing: Anymore, I have so little sense of where the individual and overarching stories are going, I'm kinda just along for the ride catching the laughs while I can, waiting for something to happen that really snags me again.
Karkat and Caliborn bumping fists up at the top is pretty much spot on, as is that giant pile of thirteens. Except I feel bad for poor Feferi way down there in Very Last Place. She totally deserves to be a thirteen along with the rest of the cast!
Also this list would be different if it included more characters. Jack and HB are pretty cool in my books.
And then the update never came, and the Homestuck fandom simultaneously commited ritualistic suicide, ascending to become the Heir of Rage, a single being who's sole porpoise is to find and destroy Hussie.
So it was written, so shall it be. Amen.

I think it came out fairly accurate, although I think Terezi and Rose should both move up a place, and Karkat should be ahead of Roxy and Nepeta. I'd say Calliope down represents characters who I may enjoy reading, but don't especially like, while Eridan on down is basically characters who, much like Xykon, while I may laugh at or be awed by at times, are too evil (I think my bias against Eridan comes from the fact that I skimmed sections, so his dominant character trait in my mind has sort of been locked into genocidal tool) for me too like. Also, the test needs Carapacians. And Sprites. And AR, Lord English, the Condesce, and Dad, and FedoraFreak, etc.
If only so Lord English can sit at the very bottom of a very long list (He's a decent villain. But he's more a force than a character. Caliborn at least has badass credit going for him, since he's just a mortal. But Lord English is an immortal demon, which puts a much higher bar on him. What's the coolest thing he's done? A death ray. You know who else had a death ray? This Guy.)
This is the second time I took it, because the first time I did it I ended up with ties for a vast majority of places.

Fan videos I've been binging on on Youtube might have influenced this, or Sollux would probably be significantly lower, at least.
Calliope, Feferi and Meenah sitting near the bottom are mostly because they haven't made a great deal of an impression, along with Jane (though all but Feferi probably have time to become more interesting). Jade got down there because she was either asleep or being a plot device a lot of the time, and I can't remember her doing an awful lot of little things to make me like her more.
I'm not much better off. It keeps pausing all of a sudden when it's nearly finished, like at 97%, and I reload the page to make it go faster, but then it pauses at 98%, then I refresh the page (which takes half a minute each time to finish), then it finally loads and doesn't pause at 99%.
Oddly, it loaded fine for me, I just had to refresh at 97% a few times. ...there are actually a couple times where you might need to do that if it keeps up.
All in all, awesome update. Can't wait for the next.
Spoiler
Meenah is, as always, awesome.
Kankri is...odd. Very, very, odd.
Porrim is awesome. Apparently kind of slutty, but that's not a problem. Also, the mother-son dynamic she has with Kankri is cute.
Latula is, like, SO RADICAL. She's like Terezi IN THE SEVENTIES!
Karkat's password...well, that's cute.

I'm guessing he's a mockery of the more obsessed parts of the fanbase. Especially with the part where he's talking about how he's explored the social structures and injustices of people that don't even exist.

And I think he's a bit of a misogynist. I'm not sure if he even realizes it himself.

If you use a blood-based McGuffin in a campaign with a vampire PC, plan for what will happen when said PC sticks it in his mouth.
