Kevin Hine

Kev is an exceedingly minor antagonist in the NEO GEO Adventures.

## History

#### In the NEO GEO Adventures

Kev first occurs in the NEO GEO Adventures introduced to him by Davy. The relationship does not develop further until the last V-Saga where Kev enjoys GEO's retelling of the saga's shared between Davy and Davis in the quest for  Mel's safety against the wretched Haitian illegal Jiu King. Later on, Kev's role in the NEO GEO Adventures truly starts to come to prominence around the first season finale of the GAMER ADVENTURES where GEO comes to power amongst the GAMERs and finally gives the GAMERs a culture they can call their own.

After the first season finale, Kev comes to enjoy annoying GEO along with his best pal: Sean Sirota. The frequent inconveniences they present GEO with led GEO to decry them, "Minibosses," a label that the two came to adopt with pride. Kev and Sean would become miniboss partners in crime interjecting in the NEO GEO Adventures to annoy GEO. Their focus on GEO however proves to be pivotal in GEO's spot as the center of the GAMERs and his power as the group spearhead.

As the NEO GEO Adventures continue Kev's increasingly unintellectual methods of minibossing GEO led to Kev having a reputation of being an, "Unredeemable Dope," A term coined by GEO after Kev made a very blatant error reading what GEO said. Eventually, Kev made various other blunders solidifying his reputation as an unredeemable dope. This reputation was further given credence by the revelations of various other moments Kev had in the past that were abysmal blunders. Kev's various blunders eventually were given the phrase, "Typical Kev Moment," to describe them. Despite this defect, Kev's typical Kev moments are a frequent source of comic relief amongst the group and give Kev a solid role in the development of the group.

## Personality

Kev's personality evolves from being a pleasant person who's a bit introverted into a mildly aggressive comic relief buffoon with an obsession of one upping GEO in dim witted way that he perceives as being smart. Kev is a known heavyweight when it comes to drinking alcohol and loves his JAMESON very much. Kev's favorite insults are, "libtard," and "gay." Kev was also known at some point for wearing his underwear on his head. Kev's ability to generate clever nicknames is borderline nonexistent leading to incoherent nicknames such as, "Geolardo." Kev also has a nasty habit of forming euphemisms for even the most innocuous things.

Despite Kev's lowbrow and dirty sense of humor, Kev is deadly scared of 17 years and is convinced the FBI will raid his house for contacting one. Besides that Kev is typically portrayed as having a timid approach to handling things such as getting worried over the most mild spam possible in one of Mattie G's streams once.

## Portrayal

Despite Kev's incompetence and frequent antagonistic role in the NEO GEOAdventures GEO half heartedly included him and his cohort Sean in the GEO Crew at one point until GEO later expulsed them for seditious comments regarding GEO's One True Master. GEO's reservations on accepting Kev into the GEO Crew at the time stemmed from his poor reception to GEO's authority and borderline comical incompetence. The latter trait being forgiven by the frequency of it occurring in the bona fide GEO Crew members.

Kev's highest stat is his strength which is portrayed as being above average and promoted more on the basis of his body than his actual strength. Kev's magic and res are hilariously low but has decent speed, skill and defense. In a way Kev's stats lean the best towards him being the most balanced member of the GAMERs. Kev also has very good HP too.

Despite being portrayed as a comic relief buffoon Kev does in fact have an above average knowledge of Italian culture shown in many instances such as when Kev corrected Davy on his suggestion that Eggplant Parmesan is a Native Italian dish. To add on to this, Kev maintains a respectable knowledge of Roman Catholic traditions which is furthered by the overlap that his Irish ancestry shares regarding this. Kev possesses an exceedingly basic understanding of Italian supplemented by a few dialectal words endowed to him presumably by his parents. Despite this respectable knowledge, Kev is recognized as solely Irish; a trait best exemplified by his trademark love of JAMESON.
